If Hyundai was having an unusual number of problems, this discussion would have far more than 160 postings not all of which deal with problems or QC issues.
 
I am not so sure about your comment. If we use Edmunds as a data point, Veracruz has over 160 comments about problems, while the CX-9 has only 38.
 
Between electrical problems, transmission issues, and leaks this car seems to have more that its share of QC issues. I hope they get it fixed, this care is on my short list.

Did the new battery fix the trip computer problem? My dealer stated this week that they could not determine what is causing my trip computer to reset at random. They were not aware of any Hyundai service bulletins on this. They said they could fix it by removing the dash cluster and replacing it, but it would reset my odometer to zero; I did not want to go there at this time.

I did not have a trip computer problem, so I don't know if a new battery will resolve the issue you have.
 
One thing replacing the battery did do (it should be kind obvious) was that settings for the power seats, radio, and trip computer were all reset. I had to reprogram everything...

Chumpster, I'm due for an oil change this week and my servicing dealer (NOT the sales dealer) is very knowledgeable. I'll be sure to mention the problem to them to see what they say and will reporrt back.
 
Frankly, the issue isn't that important to me as I only keep a vehicle for about 2 or 3 years. I wouldn't have the dash ripped apart to fix it, but having the odometer reset to zero would be good for me at trade in time.

Aabruzzese,
I didn't realize the problem was with the odometer. I thought I you were talking about the trip computer. From what I understand, the odometer does not run off the battery. Even though my battery was dead, my odometer did not reset. Consider it is a new car, I won't like having the dash ripped apart either, but it might be important to get it fixed. Let us know what the dealer says...

Electrical issues????? by albanyjet

Besides the TPMS problem that won't go away, we recently had a much bigger problem. We were out and had been using the heater all day. After a stop, when we started the car , the heater, and the associated lights would not work. Of course it was one of the coldest days of the year! We drove the car home thinking it was a fuse that had blown. After getting home, I started the car again before looking for the fuse panel. The heat was back on and working fine. I talked to the service Mgr. about it and he said if it happens again, bring it in! I'm not interested in playing games like this. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Creaky squeaky by asx

After almost two months with the car (2008 Limited AWD) have to regretfully confirm some observations about interior build quality.
The interior is built quite loosely.
Is squeaks and creaks when going over bumps, or even when the air conditioner is turned on and the temperature between some plastic parts changes.
The biggest squeakers are the center audio/air panel, the panel around the front speaker, the front-side air conditioner vents, and the faux wood panels.
The creaks are coming from plastic parts rubbing against each other. Because the parts are connected so loosely, they are allowed to move quite a bit relative to each other, thus the creaks. Push on the wood trim - you'll see it move and you'll hear it creak.
For $35K car it's quite sad I had much cheaper 2004 Suzuki XL-7 before the Veracruz, and that car was build much tighter inside.

It bums me out to read posts like this because after major hesitation to purchase a Hyundai I LOVE my 2008 Limited. Four months later and I'm still incredibly happy. It sounds like you're just going to have to crank up the stereo to enjoy your ride.

It may bum you out, but can you give me a hint what to say when I'm driving with a big company (it's a seven seater, remember?) and they don't like my music and just want to keep it a quiet conversation? But instead they hear this annoying squeaky creaks, so they make nonchalant comments about their Toyotas and Hondas and how cheaply made Hyundais are? "Can't you hear it yourself" kind of lines? Any ideas?
Btw my other car is a Camry, and I have to admit its interior is dead quiet.
