2007 Hyundai Entourage Electrical system Problems

“Minivan was parked at night in our home garage and spontaneously went on fire. All recommended factory maintenance was always performed. No recall for our vehicle existed. Significant risk to property and loss of life. Pushed it out of garage to save family and home.”

“Dealership had me make an appointment and come in for the 188 recall (ABS relay installation), kept me for 2 hours, tried to sell me about $2,000 in unrelated maintenance, then told me that they did not have the parts to perform the relay service. They therefore wasted my time when they had no intention of performing the recall work. The recall work has not been done, and I've wasted a work day. Dealer rep was also intimidating with regard to the maintenance he was recommending.”

“Driving home last night my ESC off/on light came on. I didn't know what this meant, but kept driving. Upon arrival at home my brake lights would not come off. The only thing that would make them go off is disconnecting the battery cable. Upon further test the brake lights stay on while driving as well so the individual behind me would not be able to tell whether or not I was about to stop. …”

“Driving down the road and when letting off the gas and vehicle starts slowing down head lights , brake lights, inst. Panel light, radio would cut out for a second or two and come back on. Started off doing it 1 a week , a couple days , now it does it constantly when car is slowing down. Don't go off while at idle. Other drivers flash their lites at me or blows their horn' especially cars that are following me.”

“Van's electrical suddenly cut off in the middle of traffic losing power - thankfully a parking lot entrance was nearby and was able to barely steer it into the parking lot. I had my children with me. Found out it was recurring problem with the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto the alternator. Similar problem with recalled Hyundai veracruz - same engine layout - but no recall on the Hyundai Entourage. This is the 4th time the alternator died and the local Hyundai dealership will do nothing since it is out of warranty.”
