HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 Safety Review #10349742
HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 16, 2010.HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . WHILE DRIVING, IT FELT LIKE A JERK OR SHIFT IN THE ENGINE TWO TIMES AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. NOT FIVE MINUTES EARLIER I HAD BEEN DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON INTERSTATE 35 - AN EXTREMELY BUSY AND FAST-MOVING HIGHWAY. IF THE PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED THEN, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESULT. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THAT THIS WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM." THE SENSOR IS BEING REPLACED AS I TYPE. I LOOKED ONLINE ON EDMUNDS CAR SPACE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM AS FAR BACK AS 2007 (PROBABLY EVEN BEFORE). THIS IS A LIFE ENDANGERING PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS APPARENTLY IGNORING UNTIL OWNERS BRING IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR.Mileage was 10388 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8NU13C79U. Hyundai Veracruz 2009 problem was reported in ADDISON, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 35 mph.

HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 Safety Review #10429367
HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 26, 2011.HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL . WHILE DRIVING AT 70 THE CAR JERKED, COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY WE WERE NEAR AN EXIT, WE WERE NOT REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK AND WERE ABLE SHIFT LANES AND TO ROLL OFF AND PUT OUR HAZARD LIGHTS ON. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE, A LOCAL SERVICE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL. ON RESTARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHTS RESET AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. RETURNING HOME WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO HYUNDAI. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN MEMORY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE THROTTLE SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL AN ERROR WAS RECORDED IN THE MEMORY OF THE COMPUTER BECAUSE HYUNDAI USA WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS LIKELY TO OCCUR AGAIN, I WAS TOLD IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAPPEN SOON AND TOO BE CAREFUL. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MILE PER HOUR. THIS TIME THERE WAS NO SHOULDER BUT I WAS ABLE TO PARTIALLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AS CARS DROVE BY AND AVOIDED HITTING MINE. THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED FOUR (4) MORE TIMES AS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR FINALLY BACK HOME TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO SERVICE THE CAR. THE HYUNDAI DEALER REPLACED BOTH THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. HAVING RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION, I HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SIMILAR AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER HYUNDAI SERVICE TECHNICIANS I WAS TOLD OFF THE RECORD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. AS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS LESS THAN $29 I AM NOT SURE WHY HYUNDAI DID NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR OR AS A RECALL AS THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE MUCH MORE SERIOUS. *KB.Mileage was 17500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8NU73C09U. Hyundai Veracruz 2009 problem was reported in MORRISTOWN, NJ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. Hyundai Veracruz 2009 drive type:4WD. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 70 mph.

HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 Safety Review #10432413
HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 20, 2011.HYUNDAI VERACRUZ 2009, manufactured by HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . TIRE VALVE W/TMPS FAILS. THIS IS A SIMPLE AND VERY STANDARD BUT CRITICAL COMPONENT TO MAINTAINING TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THE VALVE BROKE OFF IN THE SIMPLE ACT OF REMOVING THE CAP TO ADD AIR. BREAK WAS THE END OF THE VALVE STEM AND PREVENT AIRING THE TIRE. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTED ALL WHEELS AND FOUND TWO MORE CAPS WHICH THEY REFUSED TO TRY TO LOOSEN SINCE THEY WERE OUT OF VALVES TO REPLACE. THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE THEIR EFFORT WOULD LIKELY HAVE SAME RESULT. THEY SEEMED TO KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON EXPERIENCE. THE ABILITY TO PRESSURIZE THE TIRE IS A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TASK WHICH MUST HAVE ROBUST TIRE VALVE, SINCE TIRE PRESSURE IS CRITICAL SAFETY REQUIREMENT. THE TYPICAL USER IS VERY USE TO REMOVING A TIRE VALVE CAP AND NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. THE VALVE DESIGN BEING USED BY HYUNDAI APPEARS TO BE COMMON DESIGN FOR MANY MODELS/YEARS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A DESIGN FOR A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN. *TR.Mileage was 20040 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8NU13C09U. Hyundai Veracruz 2009 problem was reported in DECATUR, IL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

Hyundai Veracruz 2009 Reviews
will only move in reverse my car is stuck in park can not move yhe shifter car boggs down during acceleration I have a 2003 Hyndai Elantra and when I drive past 60 mph the right side suspension begins to shake and rattle, what is it. I was told by mechaNIC THE THE REAR BUSHING TO THE PASSENGER LOWER CONTROL ARM IS WORN 93 lantra ..... cant bleed air lock out of cooling system after replacing radiator malfunction indicator light stays on and it says to check I have a patent for exterior seat-belt light. When your seat belt is not on the light goes on. Patent # 593228. I also own and drive a Hyundai. thanks Bill Finn I had a problem with stability control in a 2010 AWD hyundai Tuscon in windy conditions. I was driving on a straight stretch of road in New Mexico and with gusts of wind the car tilted onto the 2 right wheels. I was so shaken I pulled off the 2010 Santa Fe Limited alternator failed within 2000 km of new. Are there any service bulletins out on this? I have a 2006 Sonata 2.4 which frequently fails to start on first attempt and appears to be getting more frequent. In addition the fule consumption averages about 13 l/100km. Low revs are sometimes uneven and 1st gear pull off shudder is frequentl hyundai 3500 generator ,no gas going to sparkplug sounds like clutch, i believe you need to change it!
