The fix for recall nhtsa campaign number: 14v415000 failed in less than two years.the head gasket leak apparently returned and created an alternator failure that led to a loss of power and acceleration on the highway and eventual stall out.the vehicle was repaired, but i incurred costs associated with a new battery and the deductible on my service contract.the resolution of the recall needs to be investigated for failure.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai veracruz. While attempting to start the ignition, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was jumpstarted and driven to the dealer. Mid island hyundai (1815 middle country rd, centereach, ny 11720) replaced the battery in the vehicle, but the failure recurred six months later. The dealer diagnosed that oil was leaking onto the alternator. The seal, alternator, and battery were replaced in the vehicle, but the failure recurred one year later. The vehicle was taken to hyundai 112 (2114 ny-112 medford, ny 11763) where the seal, alternator, and battery were replaced again. The manufacturer was contacted and was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 1,200.
The battery don't charge unless the air conditioner is on.
July 2014: experienced sudden progressive electrical failure while driving. Discovered alternator fouled by leaking oil. Valve cover gasket, alternator replaced at dealership. Rec'd notice of recall 121. January 2015: recall repairs were applied. June 2016: problem recurred as before. Gasket & alternator again replaced. Although repair/replacement done, hyundai refuses to offer any other remedy or extend warranty.
I was making a right hand turn onto a 2 lane divided highway. As i was turning i lost steering power and my brake light indicator came on. I was eventually able to regain steering after crossing both lanes of on coming traffic. The alternator belt was replaced. The very next day the exact same thing occurred except there was a loud squeal that happened following the loss of steering and the battery light coming on.this is a significant safety concern to lose steering while driving the vehicle. I had also experienced the abs sensor, emergency brake sensor, and esc sensor coming on. Replacing the abs sensor on both sides corrected that issue.
My vehicle (2012 veracruz) is currently under recall campaign #197 for hyundai. This incomplete recall has been in place since november 2020 with no solution provided yet as of july 2021. I have owned this vehicle for six years, and have already had to replace the alternator twice (2015 & 2019) due to the very same issue with the oil leak on the alternator. I 2019, my veracruz died in the middle of the road when the alternator suddenly went out. I was the exact serious safety risk indicated in this current recall #197. I am now the mother of a newborn baby and two year old son. This is our primary family vehicle. We are unable to rely on it as a safe and dependable vehicle for our family because of the open and incomplete recall. The dealership has told me that i have to pay out of pocket for any diagnostic and repair at this point, even if tied to the recall. (i can apply later for reimbursement.) i want hyundai to give a time expected for a solution to this recall immediately or i want hyundai/dealership to pay for any diagnostic and repair services that may be related to this recall #197 and alternator issue. This is unacceptable. I have contacted hyundai customer care and been told that since my car is out of warranty, i must pay for any diagnostic and repair for alternator issues. Again, unacceptable when i am receiving monthly notices from hyundai that there is a clear alternator problem and safety concern. When is the solution to this recall going to be provided? when will this company accept liability for this issue?
In 2018 i had to replace my alternator as it failed while at a stop light. My dash warning lights illuminated so i pulled over to the curb and turned the vehicle off. I was not able to start the car back up and had to have it towed home. I noticed that there is evidence of oil leaking againā€¦ it is over the alternator as well as other parts under the hood. I also notice oil in my driveway where i park my car. I am concerned that the alternator will fail again as hyundai still have no remedy for the issue.
Vehicle has oil leaking onto alternator. Took to dealer to have fixed per recall 197.dealer said problem did not exist and instead tried to charge me for multiple other repairs including damage they did to vehicle while performing inspection.if you put your hand on the back of the alternator, your hand comes out with oil on it.
Vehicle lost all power while driving in subdivision was unable to turn steering wheel. Took to repair shop advised the alternator needed to be replaced. Paid to have replaced. Noticed a recall on the veracruz that was never addressed. On the nhtsa website the recall stated alternator and gasket would be affected but hyundai is stating it is only for the oil and gasket not alternator.
Alternator voltage goes from 11.7 to 13.2 with no change in loads. Can visually see oil leak on alternator. Leak was recalled in 2014 was supposed to be corrected now re-occurring

While driving at night with the headlights on, the headlights would go off completely for a moment (perhaps one to two seconds) when the turn signal is used.the headlights always came back on when the turn signal lever was returned to the normal center position. This has happened occasionally for a couple of months, but then it occurred frequently on a recent trip where i was driving at night for about six hours straight on an interstate highway.

Went in for a recall (campaign 121) to the dealership. The repair was done incorrectly causing more problems. The dealership agreed to re due just the problem but failed to clean residua (oil all over engine and parts) this caused the parts to fail upon driving. Filed a complaint to hyundai and had no results on paying for the damages (repairs). The 1st incident occurred while driving on the highway with heavy traffic.

This is regarding a recall to my 2012 hyundai veracruz. In november 2014 i had the front valve cover replaced under a recall because it was leaking. It recently started leaking again. When i called the dealership, they said that there was no recall on my vehicle and that i would have to pay for the repair. I writing to inform you that this is still an issue. My vehicle only has 63k miles on it, all maintenance is performed on or ahead of schedule and is garage kept. I paid for the repair out of pocket at a repair shop other than the dealer. This is not an issue that should reoccur with 4 years to a vehicle that is so well maintained. The invoices for both repairs are attached in a pdf file. If other customers are reporting this issue, i believe a second recall needs to be issued. Thank you.

Headlights turning on and off while driving.appears to be a problem with the headlight switch/stalk on steering wheel.happens while stopped, driving on streets and highways.seems to occur more often while making turns.
Purchased vehicle new in 2012.currently at 112k miles.over the past year i have noticed that when my light dial is in the "on" position and signaling right with the turn signal stalk in city conditions (5-30 mph) my headlights (and dash lights) will flicker off and back on.light dial is at end of signal stalk and i initially concluded i possibly twist the stalk in a slight nature when driving to cause the issue but later concluded the dial is extremely sensitive to touch.i often keep the light dial in "auto" and usually only have it in "on" during rain conditions.safety concern is relevant to not being able to see momentarily while turning or oncoming traffic thinking i am flashing my lights to signal them to go instead of me causing us to turn at the same time.over the past three times driving this week, i have witnessed my lights turning on for about a minute and then back off while in "auto" driving in bright sunlight and no shade (occurred twice in one drive) and no signal stalk manipulation.this event caused me to take the lights to "off" which on my next excursion cause them to flicker on and then off while signaling right in city conditions.

The brake switch was replaced twice, but the issue recurred. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Over the past month or so, this veracruz has suddenly and without warning accelerated at top speed, and i could not stop it with the brakes.i had to turn the engine off in the middle of traffic.this is incredibly dangerous-i dont even want to drive the car.someone could easily get injured or worse.
