UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT FIRST DATE OF INCIDENCE, SO I PUT TODAYS DATE. SINCE PURCHASING MY 2011 VERACRUZ I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE TPMS LIGHT TURNING ON FREQUENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EACH TIME, THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. AS WAS REPORTED TO ME BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR, THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT THE TPMS LIGHT GOES ON WHEN SOMETHING IS BEING CHARGED. AS SILLY AS THIS SOUNDS, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS PROBLEM, SO I ONLY CHARGE WHEN NECESSARY. HOWEVER, THE TPMS LIGHT CONTINUES TO GO ON, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CHARGER. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNS ON, I IMMEDIATELY BECOME ANXIOUS AND CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. ACCORDING TO THE DRIVERS MANUAL, I SHOULD BRING MY CAR TO SERVICE ASAP WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. AT THIS POINT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP DOING THIS AS I WORK FULL TIME AND HAVE CHILDREN TO GET TO SCHOOL, WORK AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. > > > > TODAY, DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY, THE TPMS WENT ON YET AGAIN. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND HAD NO TIME TO STOP AT THE DEALERSHIP. SO WE DROVE TO THE DOCTOR, ALL STRESSED AND HOPING THAT IT WAS ONCE AGAIN A FALSE ALARM, WHICH,AS IT TURNED OUT, IT WAS. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN AND WHY THIS LIGHT GOES ON. MY BIGGEST CONCERN NOW IS, I HAVE COME TO THE POINT THAT I ASSUME IT IS A FALSE ALARM EACH TIME AND HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN IT IS A LEGITIMATE WARNING! > > > > AT THIS POINT, I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR. I AM CONSTANTLY ON EDGE, WAITING FOR THE TPMS LIGHT OR SOMETHING ELSE GOING WRONG. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING AS I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI CORPORATION DIDN'T LOVE THE VERACRUZ EITHER, AS THEY ARE NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. > > *TR

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN 2011, EVER SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP THE TPMS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY GOES ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER NUMEROUS TIMES, ROUGHLY ONCE A MONTH FOR OVER A YEAR, FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. TODAY, 12/28/12, MY VEHICLE IS BACK IN THE SHOP. I WAS CALLED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN THEY RECEIVED REGARDING THIS LIGHT FROM HYUNDAI. THEY SAID THAT "ANY RADIO OR MAGNETIC WAVE INTERFERENCE" OR "OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES" CAN CAUSE THIS LIGHT TO COME ON. THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND I JUST NEED TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED WHEN IT COMES ON TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING REALLY WRONG OR IGNORE THE LIGHT IF I FEEL EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. I FIND THIS "FIX" VERY UNSATISFACTORY. I PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. IF I "IGNORE" THE LIGHT AS TOLD I AM POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK. IF SOMETHING WERE REALLY WRONG WITH MY TIRES I COULD HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LIGHT TENDS TO GO OFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH IS 75 MPH SPEEDS. IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO EXPECT ME TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT CHECKED EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS AS IT MOST DAYS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THE ONLY OFFER FROM THE SUPERVISOR AT HYUNDAI WAS FOR HIM TO OFFER ME A FREE OIL CHANGE FOR MY TROUBLE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT I DO NOT CONSIDER MILD ENOUGH TO IGNORE. I DO NOT LIKE PLACING MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS AT RISK UNNECESSARILY. *TR

14V415000 · Engine And Engine Cooling:engine
Jul 8, 2014
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Veracruz vehicles manufactured from December 26, 2006, through July 24, 2012. The affected vehicles may experience an oil leak from the front cylinder bank valve cover gasket. If there is a sufficient amount of oil dropped onto the alternator, the alternator will be damaged causing the charging system to become inoperative.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the alternator is damaged, the charging system warning lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate, and the engine will lose power and the vehicle will eventually stop operating while being driven. An unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Hyundai sent out an interim letter to owners on September 3, 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 121.
13V113000 · Exterior Lighting:brake Lights:switch
Apr 1, 2013
Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.
