Tl* the contact owns a 2008 hyundai veracruz. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the ESC and ABS warning lights illuminated as the vehicle failed to shift out of park. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The manufacturer informed the contact that her VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v113000 (service brakes). The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
This car loses power and the ability to control it via power steering, power brakes, and sometimes completely shuts down when operating under rainy conditions and wet roadways. It has happened five times. I have never been traveling at a high rate of speed, but for a split second codes appear and I have no control of the car. There is a moment of panic and then the car comes back to life and everything is operational. The dealer has not been able to diagnose.
Received a recall notice that the stop lamp switch is malfunctioning on the hyundai veracruz model dated 2008-2009. There is risk of a crash. I tried to make an appointment with the dealer in freehold, nj and they indicated because my brakes are the adjustable kind that they do not have the parts in stock to repair this recall and have no idea when they will be getting them in. Its on back order. In the meantime, if there is a crash caused by this problem there will be major lawsuits against the hyundai company for not having the items in stock to repair these vehicles. I suggest this matter gets looked into immediately and gets resolved. There should be no excuse that parts are on back order.
When brakes are applied car veers to left or right. Representative for oregon hyundai parts and service drove the car on 10-4-2012 and observed that the car veers when brakes are applied. He stated, "it is normal". Veering occurs dramatically if hands are not on steering wheel. Attempts to correct include: new front brake pads, rotors turned, pressure to calipers checked, front end alignment checked and rotated wheels.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 hyundai veracruz. The contact stated that the rear brake tail lights failed. The manufacturer was made aware of they failure and advised that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v122000 (service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 84,000.
When braking, I would hear & feel a grinding type noise and "feel" the grinding on my brake pedal. It would feel as if I wouldn't have brakes and it would surprise me---which would make me take my foot off the pedal and then re-brake. Usually at this point I would not feel/hear the same thing and my brake worked and felt normal. This did not happen every time I braked and it didn't happen every time I drove my car. It was intermittent. I told my hyundai service people I thought I needed new brakes. They checked and saw my pads & rotors were fine. This happened several times until I finally told them this is definitely happening and they needed to figure out what was going on. So my service tech drove my car until it finally happened to him. Since early june they have tried numerous things to try to fix this problem. Unfortunately, they've been unsuccessful! What I understand is they "think" my car feels like its skidding so the ABS system engages. However, they can't figure out how to make it stop. They've exhausted my extended warranty changing out parts/computers (I think) to no avail. They've contacted hyundai engineers and they too haven't found an answer. I understand there are 2 other 2008 veracurz' that are experiencing a similar issue at the dealership I work with as well as others across the country---per the hyundai engineer to the service manager at my dealership. Now I have a car a year away from being paid off and no resolution to this problem!! Is this a recall issue? Is this something that needs to be investigated? Do I---and others---deserve reimbursement for hyundai's faulty equipment? I believe this to be the case. I have been loyal to my dealership, to servicing my vehicle and caring for my car so as to pay it off and have a reliable, safe vehicle without a car payment for a period of time! This was my goal.
Traveling on dry pavement approx. 45 MPH. Clear, sunny day @80f when had to stop suddenly. The dashboard light up showing "ESC off", "ABS" and "brake" lights continuously on after incident. Next morning upon start up the lights still remained along with improper speedometer function. I decided to take it to the dealership where it was diagnosed as "hydrolic module" failure (p/n 589103j950). This resulted in loss of ESC function and other possible hazards. Being an integrated part this will effect more than one system of braking. This is not a cheap part and vital.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 hyundai veracruz. The contact was driving approximately 50 MPH and noticed the brake transmission shift lock indicator illuminated until the engine was turned off. Whenever applying the brake pedal, the brake lights failed to function; however the brake lights remained illuminated after the brake pedal was released. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number 09v122000 (service brakes, hydraulic: switches: brake light) but the contact was informed by the manufacturer that the VIN was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 62,300.
Hyundai has brake and rotor issues and won't do anything about it..the vehicle off the lot had rotor problems had them shaved then replaced and they were worn out within a year.. They can offer this 100,000 mile warranty because the consumer pays for brakes everytime they step foot in dealership.. If you search internet you will find brake issue with all vehicles from hyundai.. They will not do anything about this problem.. Cheap material on vehicle!
