I PURCHASED A 2008 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ IN 2014. I WAS TAKING A FRIEND HOME AND AS I WAS PULLING IN ALL LIGHTS LIT UP AND CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DO ANYTHING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS DOESN'T WORK, DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN, SEAT BELTS DOESN'T WORK, ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN CHANGE 3 TIMES DUE TO OIL LEAKAGE,NO RADIO, THE RPM'S GOES UP AND DOWN AND TRUNK WON'T OPEN.

FRONT COVER GASKET SEVERE OIL LEAK, ALTERNATOR SOAKING IN OIL.NOW NOT CHARGING BATTERY AS ENGINE RUNS ON BATTERY POWER THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT PRODUCING POWER. NOW I CANNOT USE MY VERACRUZ. FOT STALLED GOOD THING I HAD THE TIME TO PARK BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED.

THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINS. SOMETIMES ITS BECAUSE THE LIGHTS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, OR THE RADIO COMES ON, OR THE WIPERS TURN ON, OR THE AC TURNS ON, OR THE BLOWER IN THE REAR TURNS ON. THESE ITEMS WILL STAY ON ALL NIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND DRAIN THE BATTERY COMPLETELY. I HAVE TRIED TO REMOVE THE SPECIFIC FUSES IE. THE RADIO, BUT THEN ITS THE BLOWER THAT STAYS ON. I REMOVE THAT FUSE AND ITS THE LIGHTS THAT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE BETTER PART OF 2 YEARS.

EVER SINCE WE HAD A RECALL WITH HYUNDAI ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE'S COVER, THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND WOULD FLASH MANY SYMBOLS ON THE DASHBOARD. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT I WOULD PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AND THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN. WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL AUTO SERVICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT TOLD US THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE A BIG ISSUE. AND WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE SECOND TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO HYUNDAI SERVICES TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE AND THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE THIRD TIME, SIMILARLY TO THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND THE SYMBOLS FLASHED. BUT THIS TIME, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MATTER HOW LONG I WAITED. THIS LED MY FAMILY TO BE STUCK IN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO CALL A TOW SERVICE TO PICK OUR CAR UP. WHEN WE TOLD HYUNDAI, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT A ROD WHICH WAS A PART OF THE ENGINE, IMPALED THE ENGINE MOTOR AND MADE A QUARTER SIZED HOLE, WHICH LEAKED GASOLINE FROM THE CAR. WE TOLD HYUNDAI THAT WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, BUT THEY DENIED AND SAID THAT WE MUST PAY FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WE FEEL WRONGED BY HYUNDAI AS THESE ISSUES OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL, AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 124,00 MILES ON IT. MY FAMILY ALSO TOOK EXTENSIVE CARE OF THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE 10 YEARS WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR. MY FAMILY AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT OTHER VERACRUZ OWNERS MIGHT HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AS OURS, SO WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND OUR SITUATION. THANK YOU.

VEHICLE ALTERNATOR WENT, SOMETHING IN DRIVESHAFT BROKE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO RIGHT ON ITS OWN INTO TELEPHONE POLE, SIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. RECALLS ARE OUT ON THESE ISSUES BUT NO ONE HAS COVERED VEHICLE LOSS AND LOAN.

THE ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL THESE ARE TIED TO TEH RECALL ON THIS MADE AND MODEL, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER RUNS MY VIN, IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. I FEEL THIS IS IN ERROR ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAFETY RECALL INFO ON RECALL #13V113000, 09V122000, AND 11V472000. I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST WHEN THE VIN IS RUN AGAINST THE DATABASE SINCE THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THESE KNOWN RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY VIN PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON IT AS PART OF THE RECALL UNLESS IT IS IN THE DATABASE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.
