We purchased this car new. It has been to the dealer 5 times or more for the repair of an engine oil leak that saturates the alternator resulting in its failure. They have resealed the engine oil pan the first time. Second, third, forth, and fifth time they replaced the front engine valve cover gasket. The last time they followed the recommended procedure as outlined by Hyundai that was mandated by ntsb as a recall. However the oil leak still remains. Upon our last visit in November 2018 the Hyundai service shop determined that the oil leak is from the front engine cover (timing cover). They submitted a request to Hyundai corporate to make the repair under warranty. Corporate advised that the repair should have been made under the vehicles warranty period. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty they have no obligation to pay for the repairs. Plus because it is not related to the valve cover and that repair has already been performed, they have meat their obligations. My complaint is that part of the mandated ntsb repair does involve a portion of the engine cover, but apparently applying a layer of sealant across the seam of the cover does not resolve the issue. Therefore this is still a safety hazard and we are looking at replacing a 3rd alternator.

While I was driving my vehicle, the battery light came on and quickly I lost power and my ability to control the vehicle. I was able to get it to the side of the road and towed. The alternator was replace and car was driving fine. 2 weeks later, the battery light came back on. I inspected the alternator and could see oil visible on the alternator. I did some quick research and found that there was a recall for a valve gasket leak onto the alternator on my 2011 Hyundai Veracruz, that had been fixed in 2014. Now having the same exact issue. Hyundai of chantilly, va confirmed, but will not cover charges to repair. This is extremely dangerous, as I was driving with my 2 year old twins when the car shut down.

NHTSA campaign #14V415000 was issues for recall of faulty valve cover gasket that can leak and short out alternator, causing loss of power while driving. Our Veracruz has now had this valve cover replaced three times since this recall was issued, twice now in the last year. This time, 4/2018, the alternator was shorted out and caused loss of power while vehicle was is motion on city street. Hyundai has repaired faulty parts again, however, they have yet to have a valid fix for the problem. The repairs have only been a bandaid, as same problem keeps occurring. I believe there should be an additional recall issued till Hyundai comes up with valid fix for the dangerous problem.

Following email sent to Hyundai dear sir: I have a 2011 vercruz with 27499 miles that I have loved until January 19, 2014. While traveling at 50mph, the car suffered catastrophic loss of all electrical power: No power straining, no power brakes, no engine power. It could not be restarted. By researching the net, I have learned that this problem has been described many times before. An oil gasket leaks that drips oil on the alternator producing loss of all electrical power and a dead engine. My dealer, L------N Hyundai, did the repair work, only charging me for the depleted battery. Nor were tow charges reimbursed. They concluded that oil had leaked from the gasket, destroying the alternator. I regard this has a serious safety issue. If the problem recurs for me, or for others; serious injury or loss of life could result. I request that you issue a national recall and permanent fix for this problem. I will be contacting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. ------ ---------
