The valve cover gasket is leaking oil on to the alternator. The alternator is covered in oil, possibly causing it to short out which could lead to a loss of power while driving. This is a dangerous condition.

Vehicle frequently is locked into gear, recently stuck in park while blocking a busy drive-thru. The vehicle has also become stuck in drive making in nearly imposible to safely leave the vehicle parked in our enclosed garage. This has become a frequently occuring issue and more of a safety issue than we previously thought.

Regarding service brakes, hydraulic: switches: brake light recall for 2007 hyundai veracruz, the federal safety agency 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.

Abs, awd and ESC lights coming on and staying on at 90,000 miles. The issue is a faulty rear wheel speed sensor. Dealer wants $1,200 to replace the sensor! They claim the sensor cannot be replaced without replacing the rear axle. This is a terrible safety issue to have over an inexpensive sensor. It is ridiculous that the axle must be replaced to replace the sensor.

Vehicle has had two throttle body assemblies changed by the dealer. In addition, there have been multiple (in excess of 8 dealer visits) over the past two years. The check engine light illuminates--then there is an unresponsive throttle--sometimes incapacitating the vehicle. Other times during normal driving--the throttle becomes unreliable. Intermittently the throttle is unresponsive when depressed normally then the vehicle surges forward. This makes throttle modulation almost impossible at times. Sometimes from a complete stop--the throttle hesitates then surges--almost resulting in hitting the vehicle in front. The vehicle makes merging in normal traffic or lane changes unpredictable. Dealer has made multiple attempts to correct. Told by dealership after a complete software revision installed in 11-09 that the vehicle was one of only three in the nation having this problem. With the throttle response being frequently unresponsive and unpredictable the vehicle is unsafe.
