2008 Hyundai Veracruz Fuel system Problems

“September 15, 2018 we had broke down on the interstate. Lost all control of car, no steering, no acceleration, no parking gear. Mechanical said there was an oil leak above the alternator. Fried the alternator. Yesterday, wife was driving, broke down on highway. I looked at the engine block and there is oil leaking from the valve pan gasket down into the alternator again. Hyundai says my model of 2008 Veracruz wasnt affected by the standing recall that is active right now. But I think my car has been affected by this problem with faulty valve pan gaskets. …”

“On about june 23, 2014 my wife was driving her 2008 Hyundai Veracruz at about 65mph. It started slowing down even though the gas pedal was pushed. She pulled over and shut the car off while trying to decide what to do. She decided to turn the car back on and see how it drove. It seemed fine the rest of the way home. Before I could take it into the repair shop the check engine light turned off by itself. I thought maybe there was just a mistake with the light coming on and everything was fine. About two weeks later, while driving at about the same speed, it started slowing down by itself again. …”

“Battery warning light came on, followed by every other warning light on the dash, one by one (ABS, air bag, check-engine, etc.) drove car to a safe place and turned it off--and then it would not start again. Had car towed to dealer who diagnosed a failed alternator--and this is the fourth time on this car which has less that 60k miles on it. My parents also own a Veracruz and are on their third alternator. This is a known problem with Hyundai yet they will not engineer a good solution and fix it once and for all. …”

“Leaking fluid on my driveway. No action on recall noted on nov. 19, 2014 Hyundai repair invoice. Reference manufacturer recall # 197. It has been 7 years waiting for this problem to be remedied by Hyundai. This situation is ridiculous!”
