Since the 3000+ new Veracruz owners are really "early adopters", I thought it would be useful to begin a post that allows us to post your experiences with initial quality and how responsive the dealers have been in correcting any problems. I was in a similar situation 2+ years ago when I purchased one of the first 2000 Honda Ridgelines to roll off the assembly line. I joined an on-line owners club that allowed everybody to share their experiences. Despite being a Honda, there were lots of initial quality issues (most of them cosmetic). I learned a lot from other owners' experiences and these learnings helped me when working with my selling dealer. For the record, I've had no issues so far with my Veracruz (a little under 1000 miles and 3 weeks of ownership). So far, Hyundai is living up to their recent track record for initial quality, one of the main reasons I took the plunge. |

| I've had the VC for about two weeks, admittedly not a long time, but I think the initial quality is fabulous. Anybody I've taken for a ride have commented on the quiet cabin, nice ride, visibility and overall "Lexus like" quality (and one of these riders is a real auto skeptic). Initially I thought the seats a bit firm but my back has adjusted and I wouldn't trade them for anything I've had in the past. And I've had my share of back troubles. I'll be taking it on several road trips within the next week and will report back on my impressions afterwards. But, so far, wonderful. | |
We've had our Limited for about three weeks/ 900 miles. Overall we love the vehicle, however a few things have begun to bug me. On the center console cover, I noticed two blemishes in the "leather", almost as if they were molded in during the building process. Whenever the road is rough, or we hit a pothole, the rear-end (shocks/ springs?) makes a fairly loud clunking sound. It doesn't sound as if something is broke, just much too pronounced for such a "quiet" vehicle (it isn't as bad with a full load). Last but not least, my wife reported that once, when she used the horn, the radio station switched channels! She tried it a few times when it happened, and it kept switching. I have not been able to duplicate this occurance though. That was a wierd one! Any comments would be appreciated.

Replying to: albanyjet (Jul 12, 2007 1:30 am) On pickup we had an issue with the radio as well - we couldn't change the volume on the radio when the CD was playing. Lasted a few minutes (the saleperson tried to fix it and eventually it went away). We'll keep our eyes on that. We too have a louder than expected clunking in the back when going over bumps. |

I just remembered another one. The tether that holds the gas cap in place fell out of its anchor at the second fill-up. I was able to push it back in, but the connection is weak now, and I'm sure it won't last. Anyone else notice this?

I'm looking for a car that handles long interstate commute without glitches. I am in the military which means a lot of travels. Been impressed so far with the reviews on the Hyundai Vera Cruz but still sceptical of its ability to withstand constant non-stop travels. Anybody has experience with the Vera Cruz in that regard? ~Ola.
