“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.”

“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.”

“We have been having trouble with our Entourage not being able to start. Two months ago we had an oil leak from our valve cover and was told it had been leaking onto our alternator for awhile and could cause our alternator to stop working. We had to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get the valve cover fixed. The mechanic I have been talking to says that their is a recall on the veracruz which uses the same engine an valve cover for my vehicle. I think that our 2007 Entourage should be included in this recall in case this should happen to more people and more accidents happen. …”
