  PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN 2012. CURRENTLY AT 112K MILES. OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN MY LIGHT DIAL IS IN THE "ON" POSITION AND SIGNALING RIGHT WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK IN CITY CONDITIONS (5-30 MPH) MY HEADLIGHTS (AND DASH LIGHTS) WILL FLICKER OFF AND BACK ON. LIGHT DIAL IS AT END OF SIGNAL STALK AND I INITIALLY CONCLUDED I POSSIBLY TWIST THE STALK IN A SLIGHT NATURE WHEN DRIVING TO CAUSE THE ISSUE BUT LATER CONCLUDED THE DIAL IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO TOUCH. I OFTEN KEEP THE LIGHT DIAL IN "AUTO" AND USUALLY ONLY HAVE IT IN "ON" DURING RAIN CONDITIONS. SAFETY CONCERN IS RELEVANT TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MOMENTARILY WHILE TURNING OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC THINKING I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS TO SIGNAL THEM TO GO INSTEAD OF ME CAUSING US TO TURN AT THE SAME TIME. OVER THE PAST THREE TIMES DRIVING THIS WEEK, I HAVE WITNESSED MY LIGHTS TURNING ON FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND THEN BACK OFF WHILE IN "AUTO" DRIVING IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND NO SHADE (OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DRIVE) AND NO SIGNAL STALK MANIPULATION. THIS EVENT CAUSED ME TO TAKE THE LIGHTS TO "OFF" WHICH ON MY NEXT EXCURSION CAUSE THEM TO FLICKER ON AND THEN OFF WHILE SIGNALING RIGHT IN CITY CONDITIONS.

  My vehicle (2012 Veracruz) is currently under Recall Campaign #197 for Hyundai. This INCOMPLETE recall has been in place since November 2020 with NO SOLUTION PROVIDED yet as of July 2021. I have owned this vehicle for six years, and have already had to replace the alternator TWICE (2015 & 2019) due to the very same issue with the oil leak on the alternator. I 2019, my Veracruz DIED in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD when the alternator suddenly went out. I was the EXACT SERIOUS SAFETY RISK indicated in this current Recall #197. I am now the mother of a newborn baby and two year old son. This is our primary family vehicle. We ARE UNABLE to rely on it as a safe and dependable vehicle for our family because of the OPEN and INCOMPLETE recall. The dealership has told me that I have to pay out of pocket for any diagnostic and repair at this point, even if tied to the recall. (I can apply later for reimbursement.) I want Hyundai to give a time expected for a solution to this recall IMMEDIATELY or I want Hyundai/dealership to pay for any diagnostic and repair services that may be related to this recall #197 and alternator issue. This is UNACCEPTABLE. I have contacted Hyundai Customer Care and been told that since my car is out of warranty, I must pay for any diagnostic and repair for alternator issues. Again, UNACCEPTABLE when I am receiving monthly notices from Hyundai that there is a clear alternator problem and safety concern. When is the solution to this recall going to be provided? When will this company accept liability for this issue?

• 06/29/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  In 2018 I had to replace my alternator as it failed while at a stop light. My dash warning lights illuminated so I pulled over to the curb and turned the vehicle off. I was not able to start the car back up and had to have it towed home. I noticed that there is evidence of oil leaking again… it is over the alternator as well as other parts under the hood. I also notice oil in my driveway where I park my car. I am concerned that the alternator will fail again as Hyundai still have no remedy for the issue.

  THIS IS REGARDING A RECALL TO MY 2012 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. IN NOVEMBER 2014 I HAD THE FRONT VALVE COVER REPLACED UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. IT RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING AGAIN. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I WRITING TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 63K MILES ON IT, ALL MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED ON OR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND IS GARAGE KEPT. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AT A REPAIR SHOP OTHER THAN THE DEALER. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD REOCCUR WITH 4 YEARS TO A VEHICLE THAT IS SO WELL MAINTAINED. THE INVOICES FOR BOTH REPAIRS ARE ATTACHED IN A PDF FILE. IF OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE A SECOND RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THANK YOU.

  THE CAR WILL NOT START. IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT ACTIVATE. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT AND ON LONG TRIPS. A FEW TIMES IT STARTED AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY CHARGED FROM ANOTHER CAR. SOMETIMES IT STARTS AFTER 10 MINUTES OF TRYING TO START IT. IT HAPPENED ROUTINELY ON A 2000 MILE ROAD TRIP. 3 HYUNDAI DEALERS COULD NOT FIND AN ANSWER. IT HAPPENED RARELY FOR 4 MONTHS UNTIL THE RETURN 2000 MILE ROAD TRIP.

  Dashboard is literally disintegrating into many small pieces. The area over the passenger airbag will come at the passenger as plastic shrapnel. It will also probably affect the force the bag has when inflated. This issue is from using substandard materials.

  THE CAR IS STILL HAVING THE OIL LEAK ON TO THE ALTERNATOR LIKE THE RECALL STATED. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME REPLACING MY ALTERNATOR ON A BRAND NEW CAR I BOUGHT OFF THE LOT.

  This recall only replaces the front cylinder bank cover gasket, but there's oil leaking on to my engine from the other valve gasket cover too. Hyundai wants to charge me $600 to replace that. The car has stopped on the road in the middle of me driving it twice (both in March 2021) - luckily no crash as it was in a residential area. I've paid over $1000 in repairs as Hyundai didn't have a recall 'solution' despite the car not working. I'm including the receipt for the alternator replacement as well as proof of the (first - there were multiple) battery replacements before there was a 'solution'. Hyundai won't reimburse me for these.
