Sorry to hear you seem to have gotten a lemon, Cruzin3.
Fortunately, I'd say your problems are relatively rare for this brand. In my own experience for instance, I bought a '99 Sonata new, and now after nearly 10 years and over 100,000 miles have had no major problems.
Good luck with your next brand purchase, no matter what it may be.

Hey guys, I'm seeing all these problems about uncomfortable seating positions, and I can't help but thinking, "Did you all test drive the car before you bought it? If so, why'd you buy a car you couldn't sit right in?"
I'm not trying to blame you if this is a Hyundai shortcoming -- but I am just curious about that.

The seats in the Veracruz seem pretty good to me. It's got every adjustable option. Back/forth, tilt up down, height, back angle, even lumbar. Then you've got the power adjustable pedals and power telescopic steering wheel.

I believe the 09MY Veracruz is available in Canada. Any idea when it will be released to US dealers?
 
Thanks.

A reporter wants to interview someone who drives a 3-row crossover, has kids and plans to drive the vehicle to a vacation destination instead of taking an airplane.
If this describes you, please respond to jfallonedmunds.com by Monday, April 6, 2009 and indicate your vehicle's make and model.
Thanks,

Sitting too long ? by iamknott

I've been waiting several months now for the 09s to show up at the dealer. I've heard that they are being held somewhere, probably in outdoor storage lots, waiting for the dealers to get rid of the 08s. My wife is worried that, having sat for so long after manufacture, they may be subject to more problems than a "freshly made" car. At first, I told her that there was little to worry about, but the more I think about the gasoline in the tank turning to lacquer, small animals chewing on the wiring harness or crawling into the vents and dying, etc., the more I think she may be right. Any thoughts?

No backup camera by ericgou

I was at the NY auto show and spoke to Hyundai rep. The 2009 Veracruz which is just now being released to dealers, does not and will not have a backup camera. To me this is an essential safety feature and deal breaker. The rep said that numerous people visiting the show have the same reaction. It is surprising that a company that seems to be so aware of upgrading their product, and is being very successful at it, would leave off such a major improvement.

Funny, I don't see a need for a backup camera, It is so easy to back up the VC, the side mirrors are huge, and so easy to use, especially those on the newer ones that automatically tilt down when put in reverse. The only car I ever drove that had a BUC was a Prius and it was more of a distraction than of any help. If the mirrors are set correctly, you would never need a backup camera on anything.

Having known 3 kids run over by their parents, one died, who would not have been seen on side view mirrors, I feel very strongly about the camera. I do agree that you must still be vigilant and remember that it only takes a second for something peripheral to wander into the back view. My opinion.

If the parents had taught their children to not play or run behind vehicles, do you think there would have less likely been a chance they were run over? The BUC is a crutch, that's all it is. I have little kids, and believe me, they go no where near cars in the driveway. I also make darn sure that if they are outside that they stay far away from the garage. A BUC is no excuse to ignore plain and simple common sense, and I feel that it being a must need is just another excuse to ignore proper teachings, discipline and situational awareness. A more prudent item is a back up alarm! If the kids hear it, they better know to look and leave, and that is something all parents must teach their kids.
 
I'm sorry but the I killed my kid because I didn't have a backup camera is just plain ignorance.
 
I like Ford's idea much better, a driver alert system that detects if there are objects behind and to the sides of the vehicle. much simpler, much more practical, and so much better because the driver isn't fixated on a tiny screen inside the vehicle where they wont see anything coming at them from the sides. The VC can detect if a person is behind it, happens all the time when my dumb dog runs behind it when I'm backing. The moron plays tag with the car.
