Have the exact same problem with my 2008 Vera cruz Limited. Have been back to Hyundai and have had their reps here . They can not fix it and I have resorted to filing for the Lemon Law in florida. It is now with the Attorney Generals office I have asked if anyone else is having the same problem . I know about Vera 7 and rottencar. Hope you can help or tell me how to fix the problem

Vibration

I just test drove a 09 VC Ltd AWD and noticed a vibration in the chassis when maintaining speed at about 40 mph and 1600 RPM. As soon as I touched the accelerator, vibration disappeared. Salesman said it could be snow or ice in the wheels, but I've had that happen many times, and it was not the problem. I checked the wheels and they were clear of any ice or snow.
Is this a known problem for the VC? If so, is there a fix? Felt really cheap, and if this is a known problem, I just may stay away from this vehicle.
thanks.

Good luck...I tried the lemon law out here and they were given a 30 day window to fix my car...it lasted 45 days so I got nothing. In the process of fixing my car, they changed the odometer and now it is only worth about half of its previous value. The dealer and everyone has refused to work with me. I hate Hyundai and tell everyone not to buy them. At least I can say I've prevented eleven sales so far by relaying my experience with Hyundai. I figure if I can prevent a couple of hundred over the next couple of years we will be even. SO EVERYONE, I RECCOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T BUY A HYUNDAI!!!!!!!

The vibration you felt was the engine lugging in high gear. If you were to put the trans in manual mode and down shift to 5th, the vibration would go away. It is just how they have it geared and the EMC programmed, so that they can meet the CARB and EPA standards. At 65 MPH the engine is in its sweet spot, but below that it is just under its performance envelope so it feels like its lugging. Nothing to be concerned about, just an annoyance at slow speeds. I have an 08 model built in 07, so I hope we dont experience the TB problem it only has 9200 on it, and when we drive it, it is usually to/from work which is an hour each way.
Keep in mind, the 07 is first model year, and all who buy first model year are guinea pigs! Just ask those who bought first model year Ford 6.0 diesel!

intermittent electronic problems

I am having intermittent problems with several of the convenience features on my 2008 Veracruz Limited.
Some of the electronic features such as the steering wheel memory, automatic door unlock, steering wheel retraction when turning off the engine, and automatic rear door feature , just don't work all of the time. It's very annoying.
The problems did not occur in the dealer's service department nor when the district service rep looked at it. They both said they had no clue as to the cause of the problem since they couldn't duplicate any of them.
Anyone else have similar problems and how did you resolve them, if at all?

You didn't happen to name your car Herbie, did you?
What you need to do is document everything when it happens, eventually the trigger will be found. Note the temperature outside, where you park, if the car was cold or warm, how many miles you drove, or if a cold start, how long it sat between runs, etc. It could be something as simple as a loose bus connection, and depending on how the car sits and its temperature, and humidity, can trigger it.

Good luck...the fun will just keep coming with these lovely cars. I've been fighting all the defects in my car for a year and a half now and it still has more.

Did it fix the problem? I have a very similar problem with Kia Sedona http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f0e2c78/125.
It is really dangerous to drive with it - it switches to limp mode without warning, on the freeway, in the middle of an intersection (I wonder what idiot designed it. Why doesn't it give me at least 30s time before doing it ...)

I kept a log noting when, by date, each problem occurred and made separate entries if a problem occurred more than once in any one day. I thought it would be helpful to show the district rep when I met him at the dealer but neither he nor the dealer's service manager even glanced at it when I told them about it.
I'm not sure it would do any good to keep a more detailed record. Maybe I'll give it a try.
