This is related to a repeat failure of recalls 121/197 of the 2011 Hyundai Veracruz. Oil leaks down from the top valve gasket onto the alternator causing a random and erratic electrical disturbance and failure that can happen at any time causing serious risk of safety. With the alternator being damaged in this form also put other potential electrical systems at risk of damage. This is either the 3rd or 4th time of repeat failure. Previous time has damaged the battery. Luckily this time it went out in a parking lot just before was going to drive and had complete loss of power. Vehicle had to be towed into dealer service center. Upon inspection the alternator and valve cover gasket had to be replaced out of pocket as service center claims these are not covered. Tried to escalate the issue to Hyundai Motor Corporation to be reimbursed and was given a case manager. After a couple days I was told the original 121 recall is to old and not covered under warranty anymore and repairs were already made. I explained that recall 197 is a continuation of the previous 121 and she had to check back with the service center. A couple days later she reports back that they still will not cover the costs as the repairs have already been done before in the past. This time when received vehicle back from service center turns out the steering wheel tilt and telescoping module no longer functions. Costs of Alternator $1832.99 Costs of Valve Cover Gasket $313.31 Totaling $2146.30 that is suppose to be covered due to the recalls. Not repaired because of hassle between service center and Hyundai Motorcorp refusal to reimburse anything is the Steering Wheel Tilt/Telescoping module quoted at $1096.06 Included photo is taken of the alternator prior to being towed and clearly shows the over time build up of dripping oil all over it.

My system has not failed at this point. However, I am very concerned about the potential ABS brake potential fire hazard. I have always kept my vehicle in the garage. Now I have to expose it to weather conditions. I am parking outside away from structures as instructed in the recall. I constantly transport 2 grandchildren in car seats in my Hyundai Vera Cruz. It is very frightening to think my vehicle could possibly catch on fire while driving as well as ignite in my driveway. I just received my recall notice a few weeks ago even though the automakers were aware of it for months. I would like to file a complaint as well as push for an immediate remedy. The issue could potentially be life threatening! Thank you! [XXX] and [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Tired of engine and electrical failures. As recently as 7/11/2023, I brought my vehicle, 2011 Veracruz Limited FWD suv, to the Brandon (FL) Hyundai delaer for a supposed recall repair. I brought in the car, and picked it up the following day, and was assured that the recall (due to "leaky head gaskets") was taken care as well as the CHECK ENGINE (CE) light - the alternator was NOT replaced (as I had replaced it on 6/28/23 [$241.86 + tax]) with the excuse "it had passed all tests". A couple of days later, the CE light came back. I brought in the car again 7/24/23 and was told upon pick up THAT SAME DAY, that the engine "had a connector loose". Back on the road again, on 7/27/23 the CE light came up again. I decided to check the car myself and noticed: #1. NO (recall related) WORK had been done!!; #2. I decided to see what the CE light meant (P0420) so I removed the Bank 1 Catalytic converter and was astounded at the enormous amount to oil leaking and covering every nook and crany of the front engine - pictures included!! I purchased a new exhaust manifold gasket ($23.30 + tax) and throttle body spray cleaner ($38.43 + tax) to repair and take it back to the dealer for a thorough check up - keeping my fingers crossed. This has been the latest expenses in a litany of expenses (tools, parts, chemicals, related accesories), time off, trips to the dealer and what not in the history of this suv since I purchased back in 8/2010. Hyndai has refussed to pay a penny for all my expenses or repairs all the way to te point of charging for a recall repair NEVER DONE! BTW, I have had the alternator replaced, by myself and by the same dealer, four (4) times!!

The car would not start so we had it towed to a local repair shop. (The closest Hyundai dealer is located 91 miles (182 round trip). The local shop diagnostics indicated an oil leak in the valve cover gasket which dripped onto the alternator and the drive belt. The obvious way to fix the problem was to replace the valve cover gasket, the alternator and the drive belt. The parts were obtained from an online parts distributor. The diagnostic work was done by the shop and the labor was performed by a well known Master Mechanic with over 25 years of experience and is recognized by the ASE. I filed several claims with Hyundai who keep coming up with reasons why they can't pay the claim for a total $600.00 out of pocket cost. The car was fixed 7/9/2021 and has run great since then with no leakage! I have filed claims several times and each time they request more documentation be furnished. The latest rejection is dated 5/16/2023 and Hyundai has assigned a Consumer Case #21314437.

It has been over 8 months after I received 1st recall notice last 11/2020. Hyundai Motors America keep sending interim notices only, so I brought my SUV to Hyundai dealership at Dublin last 4/2020. The one of mechanic informed me that he couldn't provide recall services since there are no remedy yet. I think it should be enough time to get remedy but they just don't care about customer's safety at all. Thank you
