Replying to: rottencar (Nov 13, 2007 8:33 pm) Believe me you would be better off with a Toyota product,the Vera Cruz looks good from a distance but they have a lot to learn about quality and engineering!." Hlauburn, Curious, can you elaborate on this statement please. Not debating what your saying. In fact maybe your right but I'd like to know if you've compared the Hyundai Veracruz to say a Highlander. Motortrend seemed to state the Veracruz held its own against the Lexus RX350. Craig

I did not use my VC for seven days - it was just parked in the garage. When I attempted to start it, the battery was discharged. Does the electronic gagets on the vehicle discharge the battery that quickly. If necessary I will put a trickle charge on the battery when I am not expecting to use the car for several days. Does anyone know how many days a car will maintain sufficient charge to start the car -- many cars are parked for days at airports. etc. Thanks,

Replying to: jseidel (Nov 16, 2007 2:32 pm) Here's what I would do.......at night, get inside the back seat of the Veracruz and close all your doors and lock car with remote. Wait a couple of minutes and look in the rear cargo area and front seat area for a light that remains lit. Assuming you find nothing on I would then check for dark current(you may need the help of someone electrically experienced). What you do is disconnect the negative battery terminal and connect an ammeter in between the battery post and battery cable. I would expect to see a very small amount of current flow for only the radio clock....Something in the low milli-amp range. If you see something significantly higher you have something in the electrical system drawing current. Of course it is always possible your problem is far simpler and you simply have a weak battery(which is easy to test for with a battery load tester). Craig |

Hey all, I'm over 6' and thought I could find a comfortable position with my manual seat, but after a week I've decided i need a power seat. Anyone know of where/how i might find a used one? Anyone want to trade a power seat for a manual one???? Tee hee...

Does the dual zone in VC Limited or any other SUV sold in US include ability to restrict AC flow to feet of front passenger while keeping AC flow on face/chest of driver or vice versa? My wife has no tears in left eye secondary to 9 hour brain surgery five years ago to save her life. Result: she avoids breezes/air flow onto her face in car, because it causes pain in her eye and can introduce airborne dirt/specks onto eyeball surface which everyone else reading this message can wash off with an application of tears and a blink of an eyelid  ..............on top of that, we've struggled 15 plus years with the garden variety "it's hot in here" "it's freezing in here" on interstate highway trips........  have searched for answer and even asked salesperson last Wed in Nashville and have no definitive answer........

Replying to: patrician01 (Nov 24, 2007 4:34 pm) The Dual-Zone functionality in the Veracruz Limited has a 'Mode" button which selects where the airflow is directed, such as feet only, face and feet, feet and defrost, defrost only, etc. This "Mode" selection is SHARED by the driver and the front seat passenger. However, the upper level air ducts (2 each for the driver and front passenger) can each be independently turned on or off at will. This would permit you to select face and feet and still permit your wife to shut off the face level ducts on her side. Each person would still have independent temperature control for their side. This functionality is also available for the second row passengers who have a shared (but separate from the front) temperature control, but passengers there can also independently turn on or off their face level vents on each side.

I just got back from a test drive of a Veracruz. Really nice! My question is that I can't find any info on the corporate web site that explains the 4 wheel drive system. To add to my confusion, there is a button on the dash above your left knee that locks the 4 wheel drive system. I don't know if it is AWD all the time and when you push the button to lock, that it changes to true 4 wheel drive or if it is two wheel drive until you push the button, etc,etc. If some one could point me to a link that would be great. My salesman was so new he really wasn't much help. Thanks in advance. Jack |
