2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ Complaints

HYUNDAI VERACRUZ ALTERNATOR-ALTERNATOR-RECALL- WHEN IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN LEAKING. CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ORIGINAL VALVE COVER GASKET UNDER RECALL ON NOVEMBER 25, 2014. THE RECALL WAS BASED ON OIL LEAKS AND ALTERNATOR FAILURES. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COVERED IN OIL AT THAT TIME. A FEW YEARS LATER, OUR ALTERNATOR FAILED (APRIL 2019). WE PAID A MECHANIC $750 TO REPLACE THAT ALTERNATOR. THE MECHANIC STATED FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY OIL SATURATION. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED. I RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THEY MENTIONED THE VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING OIL ON THE NEWER ALTERNATOR AND THE ALTERNATOR IS COVERED IN OIL AGAIN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AFTER RECEIVING MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2020 AND A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM WAS FILED. HYUNDAI DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE I DID NOT PROVIDE A VALID REASON. HYUNDAI IS STILL SENDING ME RECALL NOTICES, BUT THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I AM FORCED TO CLEAN THE ALTERNATOR OFF MONTHLY TO AVOID FAILURE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH POSSIBLE RESOLUTIONS.

2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ UNDER SAFETY RECALL 197. MY 77 YEAR OLD MOTHER EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING. HAD TRIPLE AAA REPLACE BATTERY THINKING THAT WAS CAUSE. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND HYUNDAI CLAIMED THERE IS NO REMEDY. SUBMITTED A CASE TO HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP TO ASSIST WITH A DOLLAR BUYOUT AMOUNT SO THAT WE COULD PURCHASE OR LEASE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS NO REMEDY, NO ETA FRO A REMEDY AND WE DO NOT HAVE A WORKING VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THEY DECLINED OUR REQUEST STATING THAT WE HAD TO JUST KEEP FIXING THE CAR UNTIL THERE WAS A REMEDY. I EXPLAINED THAT IT IS A SAFETY RISK FOR MY 77 YEAR OLD MOTHER TO BE DRIVING THAT UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL HYUNDAI IDENTIFIED A SOLUTION TO THE VEHICLE STALLING ISSUE. PHILIP, AT HYUNDAI WAS RUDE, IMPATIENT AND JUST KEPT REPEATING HIMSELF UNTIL I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD PUT HIS MOTHER IN THAT VEHICLE WITH THE 197 SAFETY RECALL. THEN HE WAS SILENT. NO RESPONSE IS A RESPONSE. I'M RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING HELP TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI SO THAT WE HAVE A WORKING MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.
