Van's electrical suddenly cut off in the middle of traffic losing power - thankfully a parking lot entrance was nearby and was able to barely steer it into the parking lot. I had my children with me. Found out it was recurring problem with the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto the alternator. Similar problem with recalled hyundai veracruz - same engine layout - but no recall on the hyundai entourage. This is the 4th time the alternator died and the local hyundai dealership will do nothing since it is out of warranty.

Valve cover gasket is leaking oil all over the alternator. Other hyundai's with this engine have been recalled but the entourage has not. That makes no sense at all since by hyundai's one admission in the other recall this is a safety issue. Why is nothing being done about this???

In addition, while driving 10 MPH a month later, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate and shook violently. Also, the vehicle did not shift into park and the battery had to be disconnected in order for the vehicle to turn off. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer.

We have been having trouble with our entourage not being able to start. Two months ago we had an oil leak from our valve cover and was told it had been leaking onto our alternator for awhile and could cause our alternator to stop working. We had to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get the valve cover fixed. The mechanic I have been talking to says that their is a recall on the veracruz which uses the same engine an valve cover for my vehicle. I think that our 2007 entourage should be included in this recall in case this should happen to more people and more accidents happen. Because of this leak happening we will now have to get a new alternator soon.
