The contact owns a 2010 hyundai veracruz. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The dealer was informed, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 129,101.
The brakes failed to properly stop my 2010 hyundai veracruz while driving on a primary arterial road. There was no indication of any brake failure or warning light prior to this braking failure. Brakes were working fine in stop and go traffic just prior to the failure. The brakes were applied for stopped traffic and the vehicle failed to stop. This resulted in a front to rear end collision at an approximate speed between 5 and 10 mph. There were no skid marks and during braking the brake pedal did not indicate that the abs was active (no pulsating of the pedal). The air bag deployed from the drivers steering wheel without injury to the driver of the hyundai.there were no other passengers in the hyundai nor in the impacted vehicle. The driver of the impacted vehicle did not seek immediate medical attention but did complain of back and neck pain. The front end of the hyundai has extensive damage, including frame damage, radiator damage, and engine damage. The impacted vehicle (a late 1960's truck) has rear bumper and frame damage. After discussions with both the investigating officer and the body shop owner, i contacted the local hyundai dealership and tried to speak with the service manager. I have left two (2) voicemail messages to date (both the day of the accident) and have not received a return phone call. This dealership had just completed the brake switch recall work on this vehicle on 12/24/13, including a complete inspection of the vehicle. Nothing other than normal tire wear was reported on the dealership's inspection report.i am very concerned that there is a braking problem with this vehicle. When the dealership returns my call, i will ask hyundai for a full investigation of the accident, a review of the on-board computer, and any other diagnostics that can be retrieved from the vehicle.i also intend to contact hyundai direct with my concerns.
Battery and seat belt indicator lights began flashing intermittently and eventually i lost all power and engine shut down on a busy highway with several children and an infant on board.
I started up the vehicle and had no interior lights.for about 2 months, the lights would not come on upon starting up if the lights were left in the auto mode or initially turning the lights on. Then the lights started flickering during driving and now the lights go out while driving the entire dash.
On 4/23/21, i went to start the vehicle (which is our only vehicle to transport our children), but it did not start as if the battery was dead. My husband tried to jump the vehicle, but it died as soon as jumper pack was taken off. Later that day, my baby became very ill and we had to go to urgent care. My husband only has a work van that does not have seats to transport passengers, so he put the car on a charger for a bit and the car started. While on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power, but we were able to coast off the highway onto an exit. We jumped the car with a jumper pack and made it to the urgent care. On the way home, we were able to jump the car with the jumper pack to get it started, but the vehicle once again lost power on the highway. We then tried to stay off the highway, but the vehicle kept losing power and we had to jump it every time we had to stop, which left us blocking traffic multiple times. We were able to jump the car and get it into a parking lot, but the car would not start with a jump after that. We had to leave the vehicle in a parking lot from 4/23/21 until 4/25/21, when my husband was able to use his work van and a car trailer to tow the car to the hyundai dealership. He looked at the car when he dropped it off and the alternator was covered in oil, which caused it to go out suddenly. There is a current hyundai recall on the car over the issue, but there is no fix. The dealership said we have to pay for repairs out of pocket and hopefully get reimbursed later. This is a large unexpected expense when we are already dealing with employment issues related to covid-19. Thankfully, no one was injured over this major safety issue while losing power on the highway and city streets. Manufacturer recall number 197nhtsa recall number 20v705000 per nhtsa.gov website

The tilt and telocoping feature stopped working on the steering wheel a while back. It can only go in and out, not up and down. Causing it to be harder to reach, see, and steer the vehicle.

Our hyundai veracruz got all of sudden stopped while on the road. It did not move and all the traffic got backed up luckily there was no heavy vehicle except for too many cars. Few nice people really helped us to some how move the car and at least get out of busy road so that traffic can get through. Then the car got towed to the authorized hyundai service dealer and they told us that the alternator is having the problem and need to be changed. We did some online search and found out that the in 2015 hyundai did had a recall for the valve cover gasket and if required they would also change the alternator. I am not sure if our dealer changed the alternator at the time when recalled item was getting fixed and even if dealer have changed - its based on my limited auto knowledge that alternator last at least 50,000 to 80,000 miles. Hence we would like to bring it to the notice of nhtsa. The main reason is the concern for safety as when this happen both the kids were in the car which scared us the most. We hope the authority look into the matter and provides some updates to us about this particular issue as we have not got proper reply while contact hyundai motors usa corporate office.
Hyundai has had this recall #197 open since 2014 and still does not have a solution?i just got another letter on 7-22-21 saying the same thing that they have been saying for seven years with zero resolution yet in place.i finally took the time to read the other complaints about electrical problems and the car seizing up nd being dead and this is exactly what is happening to my 2010 hyundai veracruz as i write this.how can this ongoing problem not be addressed and fixed by hyundai for over 7 years now!what is the nhtsa doing about this?i now am looking at a seriously expensive repair for this problem because hyundai simply is ignoring all of the complaints about this dangerous situation.the local dealerships i call don't want to touch it until the remedy is available or want us to pay for it and try and recover the cost later.this is unacceptable and i want to know what this government agency nhtsa is doing about it.hyundai customer service is of no real help.they just advise to get it fixed and hope for a remedy later, but this type of problem is truly dangerous and i do not want my family put in jeopardy of an accident due to the car going dead as it has done twice so far at my home.please make hyundai solve this problem now and actively reach out to the owners of these vehicles with a solution that will cost nothing to the owners.i am on social security and cannot afford to put out approximately $1,000 and hope to get it back someday from hyundai. I feel hyundai is allowing this problem to go on due to not wanting to spend the money to fix this problem while they hope that it just goes away.please do something now!!!

For the 2nd time after per hyundai a previously recalled issue was repaired, my alternator failed while driving on a interstate highway. The previous recall is number: 14v415000. When the vehicle stalled leaving me stranded and upon inspection under the hood, the alternator which was replace only 3 years ago when this last happened and per hyundai again 2 years before that for the recall, was completely covered in oil as if the recall was never done even though they say it was. (3 alternators covered in oil for a vehicle that is only 10 years old). This issue came out of no where and again left me stranded. It the recall was actually completed i believe the gasket/seal that was replaced is faulty.

On 8/1/2013, while driving at 35-40 mph, the car lost acceleration (engine was running but pressing gas pedal had no effect on engine rpms, brakes and steering functioned correctly), and "esc" (not "esc off") dash light started flashing.stopped and turned car off and back on and the car accelerated fine.took car into tempe hyundai, but they could find "no error codes in computer".about 2 weeks later, problem occurred again.returned to tempe hyundai, and they kept car over night for a technician to drive home and back, but problem did not occur for them. On saturday, 8/17/2013, the problem became constant, and i found that (while it was happening) i could turn esc off and the problem immediately stopped, until i turned esc back on.i drove to tempe hyundai, and their technician went for a drive with me and saw the problem occurring. Tempe hyundai replaced what they called the steering control sensor (said it was reading 20 degrees when set at 0 degrees) and my wife picked up the car on wednesday, 8/21/2013.on friday evening, 8/23/2013, the problem occurred again, and the car was returned to tempe hyundai on saturday, 8/24/2013.again, they were unable to find any error codes, but kept the car to allow their "expert" technician to check it out.the internet is rife with reports of many makes/models of cars manifesting this extremely dangerous problem, and it's scary to think what may happen if this problem occurs while in rush hour traffic and/or on a busy freeway with speeding semi trucks all around.the cause(s) of this problem needs to be determined and the fix provided to all who are at risk before someone gets killed or maimed!
My car lost acceleration and esc light turned on while driving at about 40 mile/hr. The car was pulled over and restarted. The esc light turned off and the acceleration went back to normal. The car was driven to a hyundai dealer located in corona, ca. No error codes were found, the problem could not be duplicated and nothing was done about the issue.
I recently was driving my 2010 hyundai vera cruz on the interstate when the engine suddenly died on me. I noticed that there was a mixture of oil and water coming from beneath the car. Upon further inspection i was informed the motor was locked. I had just replaced the alternator in may of this year due to oil leaking on it. I can't recall if the original owner had the car serviced for the recall or not. But i did call in about it and was informed that it was not on the list and if i need to have it checked at the local hyundai dealer then i would have to pay the service charge. Well to me that wasn't fair, but now the fairness is gone because now i'll have to pay out 6200 to have the engine replaced. This issue could have been avoided.

- oil leaks causing harm to the function of the car. Yes, available for inspection. - the safety of our family was put at risk since we were left stranded at the airport on a late, hot sunday with a broken car, & a two year old.-the vehicle was inspected by our car shop at c & r, tire: 602-493-5258 17434 n cave creek rd, phoenix, az- the problem has been confirmed by the the important safety recalls we have received in the mail regarding oil leak on alternator. - all maintenance up to date. Hello, my husband and i bought a 2010 hyunday, veracruz in 2018 before the arrival of our first son. It has been our first family car. Last year we began to receive important safety recall notices (three total). We didn't think anything of it since the vehicle was working just fine and we keep up to date with theā maintenance of the vehicle. But then in the fall of 2020 our car troubles began relating to oil leaks. I called the hyundai dealership for help and was turned away, saying "there was no current remedy".ā our first bill came out to over $1,200 this past fall (2020). It was a significant amount of money but we were hopeful that the issues had been resolved at c & r tire shop. Less than 6 months later we were at our car shop again due to oil issues and having to make another significant payment of $1,560.17 on 3/02/2021. At this point we felt very discouraged but once again were hopeful that the car would run well after that. However, we were wrong.ā on sunday, april 11th ourā family of three: my husband, two-year-old son, and i went to the airport to pick up a friend. While we were waiting for her arrival all of the lights in our dashboardā lit up, the car died, and we were left stranded at the airport with no a/c and no way to get home. I ended up having to take an uber with my son home and my husband spent hours at the airport trying to find a toe truck on a hot sunday evening.ā after finding no remedy, we changed the alternator ourselves and problem is solved.

After having my valve covers fixed 2 x's for leaking under warranty/recall it started leaking a 3rd time and finally lead to engine failure while at the dealer to be fixed at 101143 miles 11/2017. The transmission started slipping intermittently about this time also. Dealer said trans needed replacing. After a lot of arguing and restless nights; the dealer covered a remanufactured short block. I had too cover everything else, $4200. A little over a year latter the engine started making unpleasant noises for 10-15 sec on a cold start. Dealer says these are "normal engine noises" and i got about 5-10 miles from the dealer and the oil light came on and the engine made knocking noises intermittently. I had the car towed to a different dealer immediately. Oil pump bad and needs another engine. Same engine has been recalled by hyundai from 2011-2014 for premature failures, but not the 2010. I have two much older non-hyundai cars with close to 200k miles on them and i don't have issues like this at all.

The contact owns a 2010 hyundai veracruz. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle leaked oil causing the vehicle to stall. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 20v705000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was taken to bert ogden hyundai (8621 w expy 83, harlingen, tx 78552) where it was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired four times however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that the issue was related to a recall and that a remedy was being formulated. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
The oil leak that has previously been reported caused the engine to run low on oil. Since there is a drip pan under the engine a consumer would have no way of knowing that their engine was severely leaking. If there is no oil in your parking spot and no sign of the car smoking a normal person would not check the oil with every tank of gas. This oil leak caused my alternator to fail in traffic, and since the engine ran low on oil i had a catastrophic engine failure ( threw a rod) at 126k. The oil leak causes long-term damage to the engine that hyundai refuses to acknowledge.

My 2010 hyundai veracruz had an oil leak.since the alternator is on bottom of the engine, the oil valves leaked undetected onto the alternator causing it to short out. The vehicle locked up and i could not steer it. Thank god i wasn't driving fast and was able to coast into a parking lot where i finally came to a stop. I could not put the vehicle into park, the gear shift would only go into neutral. As a result, i had to use the safety brake to keep the vehicle from rolling back.

Hyundai vera cruz door handles have been breaking for three years.this prevents the driver and passenger from exiting the vehicle or escaping should there be an accident.brought this to the dealer's attention.rick case hyundai advised they do not stock those parts and we had to return to repair the door handle.this made exiting the vehicle difficult; lower the driver's window, open the door from the outside, exit and close the window.the first incident was three years ago, the dealer repaired the door handle.parts were cheap plastic.the second incident was at my children's school drop off line where my son was scolded for exiting from the rear passenger left side.the rear right side was broken, thus preventing him from exiting the vehicle.this has happened to every handle, yet they are replaced with the same inferior and dangerous door handles that continue to break.tonight, the rear right interior handle broke.this issue needs to be addressed by the government, hyundai has not repaired the issue by building a better door handle..should the car go in the water, or be engulfed in flames, we cannot escape and be harmed for no reason.this is an easy fix that needs to be completed.thank you
Drivers left front inside door handle began to fail due to what appears to be a breakdown of its elements.yesterday it complety broke off and i have to use the outside door handle to get out of car.

The consumer requested to have a kia dealership, perform the recall, which was only 8 miles from his home. However, hyundai stated kia was not authorized to make the repair.
Brake lights stay on when the pedal is not depressed and esc light comes on while not moving
I started up the vehicle and had no interior lights.for about 2 months, the lights would not come on upon starting up if the lights were left in the auto mode or initially turning the lights on. Then the lights started flickering during driving and now the lights go out while driving the entire dash.
This vehicle has had multiple problems with the valve cover gasket since we purchased it. In 2015 we had the alternator and valve cover gasket replaced per the recall. The next year in 2016 we had to replace the alternator and valve cover gasket again, as the gasket was again leaking. In november of 2020 hyundai admitted they were aware there was still problems with some gaskets, including with our car as we received a notice in the mail about a pending recall. In the last 7 months i have received 3 notices, but they all say that no repair has been implemented as of this time. This week we had to take our car in for the yearly required inspections in pa, and again our gasket is leaking. To pass inspection we had to replace it again, for the 3rd time. I called hyundai and was told that i should have it done and submit my receipt for reimbursement because as of now there still is no fix. It is unimaginable to me that a company as big as hyundai can be aware of a problem like this for more than 6 years and not come up with a permanent fix.

After having my valve covers fixed 2 x's for leaking under warranty/recall it started leaking a 3rd time and finally lead to engine failure while at the dealer to be fixed at 101143 miles 11/2017. The transmission started slipping intermittently about this time also. Dealer said trans needed replacing. After a lot of arguing and restless nights; the dealer covered a remanufactured short block. I had too cover everything else, $4200. A little over a year latter the engine started making unpleasant noises for 10-15 sec on a cold start. Dealer says these are "normal engine noises" and i got about 5-10 miles from the dealer and the oil light came on and the engine made knocking noises intermittently. I had the car towed to a different dealer immediately. Oil pump bad and needs another engine. Same engine has been recalled by hyundai from 2011-2014 for premature failures, but not the 2010. I have two much older non-hyundai cars with close to 200k miles on them and i don't have issues like this at all.

When press the brakes the rear brake lights do not come on. The vehicle rear lights are on but the brakes lights do not illuminate when the brake pedal is pushed when having to stop or slow down. Only found out about the lights because individual behind my veracruz pulled from around me to the driver side of my car and told me i had no brake lights just tail lights and he almost rear-rear ended me at the stoplight.
The brakes failed to properly stop my 2010 hyundai veracruz while driving on a primary arterial road. There was no indication of any brake failure or warning light prior to this braking failure. Brakes were working fine in stop and go traffic just prior to the failure. The brakes were applied for stopped traffic and the vehicle failed to stop. This resulted in a front to rear end collision at an approximate speed between 5 and 10 mph. There were no skid marks and during braking the brake pedal did not indicate that the abs was active (no pulsating of the pedal). The air bag deployed from the drivers steering wheel without injury to the driver of the hyundai.there were no other passengers in the hyundai nor in the impacted vehicle. The driver of the impacted vehicle did not seek immediate medical attention but did complain of back and neck pain. The front end of the hyundai has extensive damage, including frame damage, radiator damage, and engine damage. The impacted vehicle (a late 1960's truck) has rear bumper and frame damage. After discussions with both the investigating officer and the body shop owner, i contacted the local hyundai dealership and tried to speak with the service manager. I have left two (2) voicemail messages to date (both the day of the accident) and have not received a return phone call. This dealership had just completed the brake switch recall work on this vehicle on 12/24/13, including a complete inspection of the vehicle. Nothing other than normal tire wear was reported on the dealership's inspection report.i am very concerned that there is a braking problem with this vehicle. When the dealership returns my call, i will ask hyundai for a full investigation of the accident, a review of the on-board computer, and any other diagnostics that can be retrieved from the vehicle.i also intend to contact hyundai direct with my concerns.

The tilt and telocoping feature stopped working on the steering wheel a while back. It can only go in and out, not up and down. Causing it to be harder to reach, see, and steer the vehicle.
Since about may or june of 2013, 3 out of 4 interior door handles have broken on my 2010 hyundai veracruz.this is not just coincidence. The 2 front interior door handles and the passenger side rear interior door handle have broken.i am finally reporting this because the rear passenger door cannot open from the inside or the outside which is a serious safety hazard.i researched to see if this was a common issue with the car and it appears that several other owners have posted complaints regarding the same issue.in fact, my husband also owns a 2010 hyundai veracruz and his passenger side interior door handle has also cracked making it difficult to open the door from the inside. I sent an email to hyundai customer service which is posted on their national oem website. Their response was essentially that it is my problem to fix.i do know that other year and make/model hyundai vehicles have a specific recall on these door handles.i am wondering why the 2010 veracruz does not. Thank you for your time.

As of today 3 out of 4 interior door handles on my 2010 hyundai veracruz have broken. The remaining door is intermittent due to a defective door lock. From an online search this is obviously a very common problem, spanning several years and models, obviously due to poor design or materials. It is also not one that i care to pay to repair and then have to pay again in the future. Inability to open a door from the inside of the vehicle creates a serious safety problem. In the event of an accident i will need to be able to hopefully unlock the door, open the window and reach the outside door handle to get out. Of course this assumes that power is not interrupted as a result of accident. Without electrical we would be trapped in the vehicle. Additionally, as a man of color, i don't cherish the thought of having to explain to a cop that i cannot exit the vehicle without first reaching outside.this is not the first problem i've had with this car but this is one that hyundai should definitely recall and repair.
Within the last week the interior handles have broken on the drivers side doors.the drivers side passenger door will only open from the outside making it unsafe to allow anyone to ride there until it is repaired.the driver door will open but gets stuck at times and doesnot want to shut requiring you to manually hold the door closed.this is unsafe.

Both of the front inside door handles which are plastic, have broken. The result of this is that you must roll down the windows & reach outside the vehicle to open the doors in order to get out of the car. The car was stationary when each of the handles broke. I feel that this is not just an inconvenience, but a serious safety issue. If an accident occurred or a fire broke out& for whatever reason you couldn't get your windows down you could be in serious risk of injury or death.
One or two years ago the plastic driver door inside door handle broke off.this week the plastic passenger front inside door handle broke.not good.if there was a wreck and you needed to get out of the car and the door handle breaks you could be in a world of trouble!i don't think door handles should break!!i have the passenger broken door handle.
The contact owns a 2010 hyundai veracruz. The contact stated that the inside door handle fractured while attempting to open the door.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100,000. Updated 11/29/16*lj

- oil leaks causing harm to the function of the car. Yes, available for inspection. - the safety of our family was put at risk since we were left stranded at the airport on a late, hot sunday with a broken car, & a two year old.-the vehicle was inspected by our car shop at c & r, tire: 602-493-5258 17434 n cave creek rd, phoenix, az- the problem has been confirmed by the the important safety recalls we have received in the mail regarding oil leak on alternator. - all maintenance up to date. Hello, my husband and i bought a 2010 hyunday, veracruz in 2018 before the arrival of our first son. It has been our first family car. Last year we began to receive important safety recall notices (three total). We didn't think anything of it since the vehicle was working just fine and we keep up to date with theā maintenance of the vehicle. But then in the fall of 2020 our car troubles began relating to oil leaks. I called the hyundai dealership for help and was turned away, saying "there was no current remedy".ā our first bill came out to over $1,200 this past fall (2020). It was a significant amount of money but we were hopeful that the issues had been resolved at c & r tire shop. Less than 6 months later we were at our car shop again due to oil issues and having to make another significant payment of $1,560.17 on 3/02/2021. At this point we felt very discouraged but once again were hopeful that the car would run well after that. However, we were wrong.ā on sunday, april 11th ourā family of three: my husband, two-year-old son, and i went to the airport to pick up a friend. While we were waiting for her arrival all of the lights in our dashboardā lit up, the car died, and we were left stranded at the airport with no a/c and no way to get home. I ended up having to take an uber with my son home and my husband spent hours at the airport trying to find a toe truck on a hot sunday evening.ā after finding no remedy, we changed the alternator ourselves and problem is solved.

Front oil cover gasket leaking on to alternator. According to research on my vin number it was fixed. After reading owner complaints of same model veracruz it appears to be a reoccurring problem. Which means this problem has not been completely resolved. After trying to crank vehicle at some point earlier this years and was unsuccessful. After further examination oil was visable as well as the smell of oil on alternator.car later crank with no problem. But oil leak is becoming a problem as it is obvious the leak is increasing.

My was husband was dropping me off at work driving back home which is less than 5minutes from my job on a streetthere was a loud pop and the driver on the side was yelling the car was on fire he pulled over took my sweater out of the vehicle and put the fire out.
My car lost acceleration and esc light turned on while driving at about 40 mile/hr. The car was pulled over and restarted. The esc light turned off and the acceleration went back to normal. The car was driven to a hyundai dealer located in corona, ca. No error codes were found, the problem could not be duplicated and nothing was done about the issue.
On 8/1/2013, while driving at 35-40 mph, the car lost acceleration (engine was running but pressing gas pedal had no effect on engine rpms, brakes and steering functioned correctly), and "esc" (not "esc off") dash light started flashing.stopped and turned car off and back on and the car accelerated fine.took car into tempe hyundai, but they could find "no error codes in computer".about 2 weeks later, problem occurred again.returned to tempe hyundai, and they kept car over night for a technician to drive home and back, but problem did not occur for them. On saturday, 8/17/2013, the problem became constant, and i found that (while it was happening) i could turn esc off and the problem immediately stopped, until i turned esc back on.i drove to tempe hyundai, and their technician went for a drive with me and saw the problem occurring. Tempe hyundai replaced what they called the steering control sensor (said it was reading 20 degrees when set at 0 degrees) and my wife picked up the car on wednesday, 8/21/2013.on friday evening, 8/23/2013, the problem occurred again, and the car was returned to tempe hyundai on saturday, 8/24/2013.again, they were unable to find any error codes, but kept the car to allow their "expert" technician to check it out.the internet is rife with reports of many makes/models of cars manifesting this extremely dangerous problem, and it's scary to think what may happen if this problem occurs while in rush hour traffic and/or on a busy freeway with speeding semi trucks all around.the cause(s) of this problem needs to be determined and the fix provided to all who are at risk before someone gets killed or maimed!
