2010 Hyundai Veracruz: sudden loss of power

Filed Mar 3, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · NM

on 1/31/26 I replaced battery that was only a little over a year old. on 2/1/26 while driving myself and 2 of my kids to there grandparents we lost power and lights on dash started flickering. I was able to pull over the side barely. I was told by family after explaing what happend that it could be related to the recall. I called Larry H Miller Hyundai Albuquerque and they verified the recall and we set up appointment for 2/5/26. I was able to tow vehicle to the dealership on 2/3/26. I received a call later that day from Martin on why my vehicle was there I explained the issue of loss of power and lights and door locks flickering and I believed it to be related to the recall. I received a text/email with the dealership making recommedations. I refuse them as they were not urgent and not why my vehicle was there. I received a text message 2/4/26 that my vehicle was ready to be picked up and they had ordered the recall parts and was a week out but I was able to pick up. I called mutiple times for 2 weeks to find out more and was never called back. on 2/14/26 I drove to the dealer ship to find out what was going on. I was told they still were waiting for part and when I asked what part they ordered and why I never got a call back I was only told they ordered a "valve kit" which Martin had to call the parts dept becuse my vehicle was not in there current service since they were waiting on parts. I asked what about the alternator and they said since I denied any repairs out side of the recall and the battery was an item I declined they did not test the alternator. I asked why they could not charge it as I expressed to them several times it was a new battery. they never answered me. but they told be they had to charge it to get it in to look at it. I said well doesn't that mean the alternator is bad and it needs to be replaced under the recall. after going back and fourth I ended up taking my vehicle and ended up agian on the side of the road with my daughter.

While driving to work today on 1/21/2022 my vehicle was traveling at about 35 mile per hours when it suddenly began to slow and was unresponsive to my effort to maintain speed, and then several dashboard warning lights including the check engine light, charging system light, seatbelt light, and then the car began to have a loss of power and stalled. I did have my alternator and battery replaced in February of 2021 when this happened previously. Then I received a notice of the federal safety agency recall 20V705000 and had the remedy repaired completed in August 2022. I did attempt to have Hyundai USA reimburse me for my alternator repair and a previous repair I paid for related to the fault valve covers gaskets, but they refused my request for reimbursement. Now the problems and potential hazard remains. Thank you.

On 4/23/21, I went to start the vehicle (which is our only vehicle to transport our children), but it did not start as if the battery was dead. My husband tried to jump the vehicle, but it died as soon as jumper pack was taken off. Later that day, my baby became very ill and we had to go to urgent care. My husband only has a work van that does not have seats to transport passengers, so he put the car on a charger for a bit and the car started. While on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost power, but we were able to coast off the highway onto an exit. We jumped the car with a jumper pack and made it to the urgent care. On the way home, we were able to jump the car with the jumper pack to get it started, but the vehicle once again lost power on the highway. We then tried to stay off the highway, but the vehicle kept losing power and we had to jump it every time we had to stop, which left us blocking traffic multiple times. We were able to jump the car and get it into a parking lot, but the car would not start with a jump after that. We had to leave the vehicle in a parking lot from 4/23/21 until 4/25/21, when my husband was able to use his work van and a car trailer to tow the car to the hyundai dealership. He looked at the car when he dropped it off and the alternator was covered in oil, which caused it to go out suddenly. There is a current hyundai recall on the car over the issue, but there is no fix. The dealership said we have to pay for repairs out of pocket and hopefully get reimbursed later. This is a large unexpected expense when we are already dealing with employment issues related to covid-19. Thankfully, no one was injured over this major safety issue while losing power on the highway and city streets. Manufacturer recall number 197 the federal safety agency recall number 20v705000 per website

Battery and seat belt indicator lights began flashing intermittently and eventually I lost all power and engine shut down on a busy highway with several children and an infant on board.
