Stop lamp switch failure
By letter dated april 15, 2009, hyundai notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (the federal safety agency recall number 09v122) to replace the stop lamp switches on many of its model year 2005-2008 vehicles.see recall 09v122 for a complete list. The agency opened its investigation based on five complaints of stop lamp failure across several 2007 hyundai models. The agency also received early warning (ewr) reports on this issue.most of those failures were traced to the improper operation of the stop lamp switch that controls stop lamp illumination.a malfunctioning stop lamp switch can cause the vehicle's brake lights not to light during braking, or alternatively, it can cause the brake lights to stay lit even when a driver takes the foot off the brake pedal. Failure of the stop lamps to illuminate properly creates the hazard of rear end collisions when drivers following the subject vehicle do not recognize that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Hyundai reported one crash incident (a frontal impact), without injury, that was alleged to have been caused by this defect.the agency reviewed the incident and cannot conclude that it is related to this defect. There are other potential problems related to failure of the stop lamp switch: failure of the cruise control to disengage, interference with proper functioning of antilock brakes and electronic stability control, and inability to move the gear shift lever out of park position.based on the above safety recall, this investigation is closed.

What 2008 Hyundai Veracruz owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The ESC light goes on and off when I am driving. In addition, the safety seat belt light is on. I feel these are tied to teh recall on this made and model, however, when the dealer runs my VIN, it is not on the list. I feel this is in error especially when I read the safety recall info on recall #13v113000, 09v122000, and 11v472000. I am not sure why my vehicle is not on the list when the VIN is run against the database since the description and symptoms are described in these known recalls. How do I get my VIN properly included in these recalls. The dealer refuses to work on it as part of the recall unless it is in the database. These are safety issues.
September 15, 2018 we had broke down on the interstate. Lost all control of car, no steering, no acceleration, no parking gear. Mechanical said there was an oil leak above the alternator. Fried the alternator. Yesterday, wife was driving, broke down on highway. I looked at the engine block and there is oil leaking from the valve pan gasket down into the alternator again. Hyundai says my model of 2008 veracruz wasnt affected by the standing recall that is active right now. But I think my car has been affected by this problem with faulty valve pan gaskets. Vehicle lost power while in motion, all dummy lights came on. Engine shut off and would not allow is to get it in park. Mechanics checked the battery. Battery tested perfect. Said it had low voltage and wasnt being charged by the system
