NHTSA complaint #11341300 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ESC LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL THESE ARE TIED TO TEH RECALL ON THIS MADE AND MODEL, HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER RUNS MY VIN, IT IS NOT ON THE LIST. I FEEL THIS IS IN ERROR ESPECIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAFETY RECALL INFO ON RECALL #13V113000, 09V122000, AND 11V472000. I AM NOT SURE WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST WHEN THE VIN IS RUN AGAINST THE DATABASE SINCE THE DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS ARE DESCRIBED IN THESE KNOWN RECALLS. HOW DO I GET MY VIN PROPERLY INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON IT AS PART OF THE RECALL UNLESS IT IS IN THE DATABASE. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES.

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. VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION, ALL DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT ALLOW IS TO GET IT IN PARK. MECHANICS CHECKED THE BATTERY. BATTERY TESTED PERFECT. SAID IT HAD LOW VOLTAGE AND WASNT BEING CHARGED BY THE SYSTEM

AROUND SEPT. 2017, WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. VEHICLE'S 2 WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON, 1ST WAS CHECK ENGINE, THEN NOT LONG AFTER THAT OIL WARNING LIGHTS. LUCKILY I WASN'T TO FAR FROM HOME THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP RUNNING AND MADE IT HOME. SO WHEN I GOT HOME I TOLD MY HUSBAND ABOUT IT. BEFORE CHECKING ENGINE COMPARTMENT HE NOTICED OIL DRIPPING AND COOLANT DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR DOWN TO THE GROUND. AND IT WAS A LOT OF SPILLAGE THAT IT EMPTY BOTH OIL AND COOLANT FROM CAR. HE OPENED HOOD ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO CHECK THE LEVEL OF OIL AND FIND'S IT WAS LOW OF OIL. AT THE SAME TIME HE NOTICED OIL LEAKAGE COMING FROM THE VALVE COVER SECTION, LEAKING DOWN TO ALTERNATOR AND COVERED WITH OIL. AFTER THAT HE VISUALLY CHECKED THE RADIATOR AND THERE WAS NO COOLANT, IT WAS EMPTY. SO SINCE THEN I NEVER RAN THE CAR OR WAS OUT OF SERVICE. I WAS TOO BUSY BACK THEN AND NO MONEY TO GET IT FIX. LUCKILY I HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO GET AROUND WITH. SO JUST RECENTLY, A FRIEND MENTIONED TO GO ONLINE AND CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE'S PROBLEM OR MAKE A COMPLAIN. HOPEFULLY IT'S A MANUFACTURE'S PROBLEM AND WILL LIKE A RESPOND, SO I CAN GET THIS CAR ROLLING AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ALL OF THE ISSUES LISTED IN THE FOLLOWING CAMPAIGNS, YET, THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. 13V113000 09V122000 THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN DRIVE, OR PARK, AND CAN'T BE ADJUSTED WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. THE ESC STICKS ON RANDOMLY. I'VE REPLACE MANY, MANY BRAKE LIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE.

A STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND IT MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

REGARDING SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: SWITCHES: BRAKE LIGHT RECALL FOR 2007 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ, NHTSA REFERENCE #09V122000. MY 2007 VERACRUZ SUFFERS FROM SOME OF THE EXACT PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL DESCRIBES THE FOLLOWING: "A STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE." FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS THE ESC LIGHT ON MY 2007 VERACRUZ HAS ILLUMINATED PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND IT WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. PRESSING THE ESC ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH WILL NOT SHUT THE LIGHT OFF WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING. TURNING THE CAR OFF IS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM, THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT THE LIGHT ILLUMINATING IS NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY. ALSO, FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS, PERIODICALLY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. YOU MUST SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO OPERATE. I BELIEVE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RECALL AND MY VERACRUZ SHOULD BE INCLUDED SO THAT MY VEHICLE OPERATES PROPERLY. THANK YOU.

WHILE I STARTED TO CROSS A BUSY HWY MY VERACRUZ DID NOT RESPOND AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. ALL MY DASHBORD LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ON PARK EVEN AFTER TRYING THE OVERIDE SWITHCH. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND IT SHUT OFF. ONCE THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND A NEW BATTERY (BATTERY WAS A YEAR OLD BUT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR MALFUCTION KILLED THE BATTERY). ALL THIS COST ABOUT600.00. THE MECHANIC SAID THE NOTICE ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IS THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOULD'VE COME ON WICH THAT NEVER HAPPEND. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE ALTERNATOR JUST TO GO OFF LIKE THAT IN A BUSY HWY IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IALSO ASKED IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ABOUT OIL LEAKING IN TO ALTERNATOR AND THEY SAID NO. I GET MY CAR BACK AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A FAULTY CONTACT IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT STLAK WICH SOUNDS VERY SCARY ABOUT TO EXPLODE/CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.

ESC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT HAVE COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2010. THEY USUALLY WENT BACK OFF AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, THOSE 2 LIGHTS AND THE AWD LIGHT CAME ON AND ARE NOT TURNING OFF. LOOKING ON INTERNET, I SEE THESE 3 LIGHTS COMING ON IS FAIRLY COMMON AND CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. WONERING IF/WHEN THIS MIGHT BE ADDRESSED ASA RECALL.

ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. THIS IS REPETITIVE PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE HYUNDAI HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX.. IF YOU GOOGLE VERACRUZ ESC LIGHT, YOU WILL SEE TONS OF POSTS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.. AIR-BAG SIGN IS ON INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THE RECALL. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO REPAIR BECAUSE WHEN THEY TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE, THE LIGHT IS OFF(UNABLE TO READ THE CODE).

TAKATA RECALL I PURCHASED THIS CAR THREE WEEKS AGO, EVEN THOUGH IT'S AN OLDER CAR IT ONLY HAD 57,000 MILES ON IT. WELL A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I COULD NOT MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF DRIVE. I CALLED THE LOCAL HYUNDAI AND THEY WANTED ME TO BRING IN THE CAR, BUT AGAIN I CAN'T BRING IN A CAR THAT I CAN'T BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. SO I ENDED UP CALLING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, AND HE TOLD ME TO PRESS ON THE SAFETY BRAKE AND THEN TRY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. EVENTUALLY AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IN TO PARK. THEN IS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY ON 05-12-2016, WHILE I WAS DRIVING I LOOKED DOWN AND SEEN THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT ON AGAIN SO I CAME TO A STOP AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND AGAIN, THE LEVER DID NOT MOVE. IN BOTH SITUATIONS I WAS JUST DRIVING ON A REGULAR STREET AND BOTH TIMES I CAME TO A STOP AND SEEN THE "ESC OFF" LIGHTS ON.

ESC LIGHT CAME ON, GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, DRIVE OR REVERSE UNLESS GEARSHIFT RELEASE BUTTON IS PUSHED. ESC LIGHT BEING ON RESULTS IN SHIFTER NOT MOVING, NO BRAKE LIGHTS, NO REVERSE LIGHT AT ANY TIME. THIS RECALL WAS MADE IN 2009 WAS REPAIRED AND THE SAME ISSUE HAS RETURNED BUT HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS CLOSED. IT IS CAMPAIGN 092 STOP LAMP REPLACEMENT. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS BRAKES AND BRAKE LIGHTS SO WHILE DRIVING OTHER DRIVERS HAVE NO IDEA WHEN YOU ARE STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ONCE FIXED AND IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN SHOULD MEAN ANOTHER RECALL AND DIFFERENT FIX FOR THE VEHICLES. HYUNDAI WAS NOTIFIED YET REFUSES TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED ONCE. WE WERE TOLD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WE COULD POSSIBLY RECEIVE A REFUND. THIS ISSUE IS CONTINUOUS AND HAPPENS WHILE PARKED, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CITY STREETS.
