CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Veracruz has a minor trend of complaints where the valve cover leaks oil onto the alternator, causing alternator failure. The problem starts with the battery warning light & typically all the other warning lights coming on in quick succession. Luckily, that problem was covered in a 2014 recall.
Overall, It's a solid reliable vehicle with no major problems reported.
When Hyundai Canada was contacted they were not interested that numerous complaints HAD BEEN RECEIVED BY HYUNDAI USA for the exact same problem that I had encountered. The vehicle was 8 months out of warranty . They were not at all concerned that the part to be replaced which is a part controlling the ABS, STABILITY CONTROL and speedometer malfunction was required, replace hydraulic module, $2849.16. This was to be a US$3000.00 cost to the consumer who had owned the vehicle since new at a purchase price of over 50,000.00 CDN DOLLARS and they showed no concern for the safety issue or the ridiculous cost to the consumer.
Thank goodness the USA has the American vehicle safety bureau to address and correct these issues. In Canada we are left to fend for ourselves.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST KOREAN MANUFACTURED HYUNDAI PURCHASE WE WILL MAKE, SO BUYER BEWARE.
