ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-16
- VIN: KM8NUDCC9AU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Driving at approximately 35 mph Check Engine Light came on P0331 Knock Sensor - light was cleared drove 14 miles CEL was back on. Called Hyundai about the code & knock sensor in reference to all the Hyundai models being recalled for the same problem and a warranty extension being granted. Hyundai advised me to take it to a local dealer for diagnosis and pay the fee of course. I did just that. The dealer clear the codes and sent me home. CEL was on again. Car was back at dealer confirmed knock sensor replacement needed. I inquired about extension of warranty on my car. I was told it's not on the list. Called Hyundai back advised of the confirmation of diagnosis just to be informed that my car isn't covered under the extension warranty. We established that already. I asked to be escalated & was given a supervisor who suggested while the problem is being investigated I could ask the dealer to request Goodwill from Hyundai. Denied. Called Hyundai to follow up on my claim, I was advised claim closed my car isn't covered under the extension warranty for the same problem as other models and out of original warranty. Which I already knew. I was trying to find out if my car should be added to the list covered. I was told once the claim is closed it is closed. Hyundai needs to protect the owners of all Hyundai vehicles not just the popular ones. Since they closed my claim that fast. I would love an explanation as to why I was advised to take it to the dealer pay the fee and 25x the price for repair vs an independent shop. This is the 3rd time I've been without my car while it sits at the dealer waiting on parts. I'm left with a large bill, an unsafe engine and no vehicle. Hyundai needs to be held accountable. We shouldn't fear for our safety while driving. Bought in 2011 & it currently has 106,350 miles. Still within the 15 year, 150,000 mile warranty extended to other Hyundai owners whether original or not. I'm the original owner. My vehicle needs to be safe to drive.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-22
- VIN: KM8NU4CC2AU
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: I received a notice of a recall (23V-651) in September of last year, and Hyundai has not yet fixed the issue. This is the second possibly life-threatening recall on this car since I have owned it, and each time it has taken over six months for a remedy. In addition to risking my life and those of my passengers on a daily basis, because I have been instructed to park outside I have to park the car on the street and risk having it damaged or stolen. Is there any time limit to how long a car manufacturer can neglect fixing a problem like this? 7 months and counting seems excessive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-01
- VIN: KM8NU4CC7AU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: On the dashboard and stereo there are no lights when I turn on the cars automatic lights. It seems to be an electrical short. I brought it up to Hyundai because of the recall and they were very unhelpful. I called 15 different Hyundai dealerships in the Los Angeles area asking for a loaner vehicle which none of them were able to provide for me. After I stated I already have an electrical short, they insisted that my car was not effected by the recall. And they would even write a letter to my insurance company stating that my car was not effected by the recall. They told me to continue driving my car like normal. I feel extremely unsafe and not taken care of by the Hyundai team. They continued to push off my concerns. The dealership has confirmed that the recall does effect my VIN number. However, they said there is no way to find out if the electrical short is from the recall or not. So they want to bill me $225 for a diagnosis. They have no inspected it because they will not do so without charging me the $225 which I refuse to pay for because of their recall. The electrical short problem has been an issue since I purchased the car. I asked the dealer I bought it from and he did not know what it was from. Months later I receive this letter in the mail stating there is an important safety recall on my car and Hyundai won’t do anything about it.

- Summary: Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
- Consequence: Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

The car handles really well, although there is a bit of lag when starting at a green light. It's great for saving gas though! My wife and I bought this as our first new car, and of course, I favor it more because it's the perfect choice for our family's safety. As someone who is pretty tall, I do wish the seats could go back further for more leg room. The SUV came with Matt, which was a nice bonus. While we don't need heated seats in Hawaii, the A/C is very cold, so we might as well use it! However, the factory speakers were inadequate, so I upgraded them.

Just purchased this vehicle. It's great! It seems to be extremely well built, rides like a dream, has a classy interior, and looks fantastic. My wife absolutely loves it. We replaced our 2007 Santa Fe Limited with this unit, and we're so glad we did. Hyundai has really made huge inroads into the Luxury SUV field.

We've been enjoying our Veracruz for about 6 months now and absolutely love the ride and feel. It's definitely the best Hyundai we've ever owned. While we have experienced a few rattles and squeaks, which seem to be common with Hyundai, they haven't detracted from our overall satisfaction. Unfortunately, the gas mileage in the city leaves something to be desired, as we only average about 15 mpg with 80% city driving and 20% highway. However, we did take a long road trip and managed to get about 23 mpg, even with some stop-and-go traffic. All in all, we're very pleased with our purchase.

We chose the Veracruz for its 7 passenger seating and to replace our minivan. It has truly given us the best of both worlds. While we mostly use it as a 5 passenger vehicle with the back seats folded down, it's great to have the option to load up the car with kids when we need to. The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet, and the car handles well. It's extremely comfortable for 5 passengers, although legroom can be a bit tight for 7 - but that's to be expected. Overall, I highly recommend this vehicle and am so glad we made the purchase.

Great purchase! You've found the perfect SUV for your family. It's safe, AWD, luxurious and more! Enjoy your new vehicle!

Are you having problems with your 2010 Hyundai Veracruz?

Good build quality. Not bad looking. Nice interior space. Great third row seat - adult size. Fuel economy is just as advertised. Although the seats are a little too firm, the ride is smooth. However, the shifts are too early in first, so there is no acceleration off the mark without flooring it. Additionally, the blue digital display is not easy to view and the tailgate release on the key fob is almost useless. Overall, it's a decent car with some minor drawbacks.

The passenger and back seat experience can be uncomfortable due to feeling every bump and pothole magnified. Additionally, the fuel economy may not meet the advertised standards.
