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.

The driver's door handle does not work. The buckle assembly for the driver's seat belt has a stuck button and no longer works properly.

One or two years ago the plastic driver door inside door handle broke off. This week the plastic passenger front inside door handle broke. Not good. If there was a wreck and you needed to get out of the car and the door handle breaks you could be in a world of trouble! I don't think door handles should break!! I have the passenger broken door handle.

Both of the front inside door handles which are plastic, have broken. The result of this is that you must roll down the windows & reach outside the vehicle to open the doors in order to get out of the car. The car was stationary when each of the handles broke. I feel that this is not just an inconvenience, but a serious safety issue. If an accident occurred or a fire broke out & for whatever reason you couldn't get your windows down you could be in serious risk of injury or death.

As of today 3 out of 4 interior door handles on my 2010 hyundai veracruz have broken. The remaining door is intermittent due to a defective door lock. From an online search this is obviously a very common problem, spanning several years and models, obviously due to poor design or materials. It is also not one that I care to pay to repair and then have to pay again in the future. Inability to open a door from the inside of the vehicle creates a serious safety problem. In the event of an accident I will need to be able to hopefully unlock the door, open the window and reach the outside door handle to get out. Of course this assumes that power is not interrupted as a result of accident. Without electrical we would be trapped in the vehicle. Additionally, as a man of color, I don't cherish the thought of having to explain to a cop that I cannot exit the vehicle without first reaching outside. This is not the first problem I've had with this car but this is one that hyundai should definitely recall and repair.

Since about may or june of 2013, 3 out of 4 interior door handles have broken on my 2010 hyundai veracruz. This is not just coincidence. The 2 front interior door handles and the passenger side rear interior door handle have broken. I am finally reporting this because the rear passenger door cannot open from the inside or the outside which is a serious safety hazard. I researched to see if this was a common issue with the car and it appears that several other owners have posted complaints regarding the same issue. In fact, my husband also owns a 2010 hyundai veracruz and his passenger side interior door handle has also cracked making it difficult to open the door from the inside. I sent an email to hyundai customer service which is posted on their national oem website. Their response was essentially that it is my problem to fix. I do know that other year and make/model hyundai vehicles have a specific recall on these door handles. I am wondering why the 2010 veracruz does not. Thank you for your time.

Hyundai vera cruz door handles have been breaking for three years. This prevents the driver and passenger from exiting the vehicle or escaping should there be an accident. Brought this to the dealer's attention. Rick case hyundai advised they do not stock those parts and we had to return to repair the door handle. This made exiting the vehicle difficult; lower the driver's window, open the door from the outside, exit and close the window. The first incident was three years ago, the dealer repaired the door handle. Parts were cheap plastic. The second incident was at my children's school drop off line where my son was scolded for exiting from the rear passenger left side. The rear right side was broken, thus preventing him from exiting the vehicle. This has happened to every handle, yet they are replaced with the same inferior and dangerous door handles that continue to break. Tonight, the rear right interior handle broke. This issue needs to be addressed by the government, hyundai has not repaired the issue by building a better door handle.. Should the car go in the water, or be engulfed in flames, we cannot escape and be harmed for no reason. This is an easy fix that needs to be completed. Thank you
