I purchased a 2008 hyundai veracruz in 2014. I was taking a friend home and as I was pulling in all lights lit up and car just shuts off. I couldn't get the car to do anything. I had the car towed. My windshield wipers doesn't work, door handles are all broken, seat belts doesn't work, alternator has been change 3 times due to oil leakage,no radio, the RPM's goes up and down and trunk won't open.

My ABS, ESC and awd dash lights illuminated on my 2008 hyundai veracruz. Ran codes to find out the rf and lr wheel sensors were giving an error, as well as the brake switch. Checked fittings and found no missed connections with the wheel sensors, and when I started the car back up, all lights on the dash turned off. When the car got up to 30mph, the ESC light started flashing, the awd light illuminated, and my vehicle acted as if it was driving in heavy snow (stalling, slowing, and acceleration failing). After putting the car in park, turning it off, and starting it back up, all lights were again off. Same issue repeated itself, and then the ABS, ESC and awd lights illuminated again, and the car drove fine. Took to the dealer to get diagnosed. Fearful of sudden malfunction during expressway driving to cause a serious accident.

While driving down the highway (approx. Speeds of 65 MPH), while raining, the vehicle started to stutter, speedometer jumped around, and the ESC off, ABS and awd warning lights flashed and then stayed on. Once the lights stayed on (no longer flashing) it seemed as though the vehicle drove "normal." after a day of driving with the lights on they would turn off and problem wouldn't come on again until their was some sort of moisture/precipitation happening; and then once dry would turn off again. Had dealer check vehicle (at the time of check no lights/symptoms occurring) and they said it required a new hecu unit and a new wheel speed sensor (approx. Cost $3,200). They could neither explain why it only happened when it was wet and did not want to troubleshoot beyond the basic code check. Hyundai was contacted and they offered no help - it was only 1,000 over warranty by the time we were able to have it looked at by dealer (which also took 2 weeks to set up appointment with hyundai tech). Dealer cleared codes and put dielectric grease on the connections. Had no problems for 7 months, and then problem reappeared. Only now the problem is a severe safety risk to myself and others around me. There is no telling (can occur at any speed and doesn't matter how long car has been on or how far driven) when the systems mentioned will fail, and when the lights start flashing I have no ability to accelerate the vehicle until all the lights turn steady and stay on. If this were to happen when pulling out/across traffic it could turn fatal. A quick check on the internet and one will find a host of complaints relating to this same problem. A recall needs to be issued before someone is injured!

My wife started the car and the check engine light and key light came on. She shut the car off and put the key fob in the ignition and the car would not start. Click, click, click is what she got. When I came home from work I started the car after jumping it off from my truck. The car ran but the check engine light was on. I started to drive it to an auto parts store to get the diagnostic code but before I could get very far the instrument panel lit up with several warning lights. Turned the car around and drove home. Fortunately, the car has less than 60k miles and less than 5 yrs old. (58,200 miles and 4 years 8 months old) had car towed to dealership. Due to some simple research I was not a bit surprised when informed that the alternator was bad due to a headcover gasket leaking engine oil. Dealer fixed all at no charge because still under warranty. Was told that it will cost me around $550.00 after the warranty expires. This is the second electrical issue in 4 months. This car is currently for sale.
