Previously, my 2007 veracruz limited had a check engine light illuminate on 8/20/08 while my wife was driving with our young daughter car. The car jolted and vibrated and would not accelerate. I was advised by the local dealer the car had a throttle warning code 2106, but that it cycled through and was fine without repair. The dealer stated they test drove it for 30 miles to ensure there were no issues, and then returned the car to us. Following that the car was driven without incident until it occurred again on 9/17/08, with my wife driving our young daughter again. This time I was told the following errors appeared: 2135 - throttle body 2106 - ? 1295 - ? I was advised a service bulletin had been issued to dealers in february for this, and they were authorized to replace the throttle body unit, which would take care of everything. The dealer stated they had replaced the unit on 3-4 cars to date and that it took care of the issue I was having. Following the throttle body unit replacement, we had no further issues until last night. On the way home from dinner, my wife was driving our daughter again, the same incident occurred, 6/26/09. This makes three times in less than a year. I have noticed this seems to be a common issue based on similar reports of other owners in online forums. This is the third time this has occurred. Fortunately there were not any injuries or damage. My primary concern is the safety and security of my wife and daughter. If she had been passing on a two lane highway this could have been fatal. I note that from postings on online forums there have been accidents due to this issue.

Hyundai 2007 veracruz limited. Does not downshift properly. On multiple occasions I have had to slow my speed in freeway congestion and the car does not downshift, even with tapping on the brake. The car stays in 5th or 6th gear to speeds as low as 20 MPH. I have literally had to stop the car completely to get it to shift down. The car has no power to move quickly when necessary in these conditions (such as for a lane change). Additionally, the car does not shift properly at approximately 30-40 MPH and the engine lugs, causing a very bumpy ride and near stalls on hills . This condition occurs with driving on inclines, in stop-and-go traffic such as freeway slow-downs, and with around-town driving at a standard municipal speed of 30-35 MPH. I have had my car to two different hyundai dealerships for diagnosis and service on five separate occasions. Despite that two mechanics, two service managers, one general manager, and the factory representative have all ridden in the car and verified the condition, the fact that the computer cannot diagnose a specific problem has resulted in zero repairs and zero resolution to this problem. Mechanics have speculated that the torque converter is not functioning properly, that the vehicle needs a new computer, and possibly that it needs an entirely new transmission but the factory representative will not authorize such repairs. He is relying entirely on a computer diagnosis instead of human logic and common sense. I am currently pursuing the lemon law in my state and hyundai's current position is that "there is nothing wrong" with the car and they will do nothing further.
