The valve over eventually leaks oil that drips down on to the alternator. This cause the electrical system to fail, the battery and brake lights come on. Then slowly all lights come on as battery shuts down. This is a known issue with this engine. This happened to me yesterday while driving at night leaving the car unable to drive. When the battery completely shuts down you cannot even move the vehicle out of Park, as electric is needed to disengage the the shifter from park, so you cannot even push the vehicle off of the road. Hyundai has a recall for the exact same engine in the Veracruz. Here are two videos showing issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch"v=RSLmj8Gqc1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch"v=h9Q78so3GPI https://The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling).

U ask for a date and only let us put one date in this happens so often we're scared to even open drivers side sliding door. And something wrong with the brakes
Dealership had me make an appointment and come in for the 188 recall (ABS relay installation), kept me for 2 hours, tried to sell me about $2,000 in unrelated maintenance, then told me that they did not have the parts to perform the relay service. They therefore wasted my time when they had no intention of performing the recall work. The recall work has not been done, and I've wasted a work day. Dealer rep was also intimidating with regard to the maintenance he was recommending.
2007 Hyundai Entourage. Consumer writes in regards to ABS modules safety recall. The consumer stated when attempting to have a recall repair completed the dealer charged a diagnostic fee. The consumer stated while the key is not in the vehicle, the locks would click locked and unlocked, the headlights and dashlight turn on and off, and windows roll up and down.

In June of this year, we received an 'important safety recall' from Hyundai, instructing me to park my car outside and away from structures and other vehicles until a repair is completed. I brought the car to russell westbrook Hyundai in garden grove on June 15th of this year. We were told that it would be ready later that day. Then the 16th. Then the 17th. Then the 18th. Then the 19th. Then I was told the parts would arrive in a couple of days and did I want to leave the car there. I declined. On June 22, I called the parts department and was told the parts would arrive in the middle of July. I called at that time and I was told it would be the end of July. I was advised that I would be contacted within 3-5 days. Two months have gone by with no further word. I'm 77 years old and I'm uneasy driving this car.

We purchased our 2007 Hyundai Entourage in 2015 and 2 months after we bought it both doors motors stopped working. The driver side passenger door will only open about 10 to 15 inches. We've had to use the handles to open both door and the handles broke. I can only assume that they broke because they were not made to be used since the doors are supposed to be used with a remote and are motorized. We've also had to replace our head lights and back lights about 6 to 8 times that's more than I've changed any lhead lights on all my vehicles in my entire 44 years of owning cars. This vehicle has had 6 recalls since we purchased it in 2015. Please just recall and replace the whole vehicle to make up for how poorly this vehicle was made and thrown together.

When applying the brakes, lights dim, radio goes out, heat or ac goes off, while driving. Have complained out over a year ago. Have had new alternator put on and new washer pump. Tips replaced, stop switch? replaced.
Van's electrical suddenly cut off in the middle of traffic losing power - thankfully a parking lot entrance was nearby and was able to barely steer it into the parking lot. I had my children with me. Found out it was recurring problem with the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto the alternator. Similar problem with recalled Hyundai veracruz - same engine layout - but no recall on the Hyundai Entourage. This is the 4th time the alternator died and the local Hyundai dealership will do nothing since it is out of warranty.
Valve cover gasket is leaking oil all over the alternator. Other Hyundai's with this engine have been recalled but the Entourage has not. That makes no sense at all since by Hyundai's one admission in the other recall this is a safety issue. Why is nothing being done about this"?"
