2010 Hyundai Veracruz Engine Problems

“My was husband was dropping me off at work driving back home which is less than 5minutes from my job on a street there 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.”

“I had a recall #121 which was correct at 50,000 miles. The value cover leaks and drips onto the alternator. 25,000 miles it happened again. I was driving my car yesterday and all lights came on so I turned to go home. Call thornton road Hyundai in lithia springs, ga and the service manager told me to bring in my car cause its still covered cause I had 74,500 miles on my car. My husband had to charge up my battery just to make it to the dealership. …”

“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. …”

“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. …”

“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.”
