I bought my Veracruz (GLS) in April, 2007 and have about 15,000 miles on it. Here's some stuff I have had happen so far. 1. Air bag light coming on inexplicably (2x). 2. Latch on the rear storage compartment somehow "locked" permanently. Hyundai had to break the latch, and will be replacing it. 3. Air conditioning is totally broken (fan works; blows warm air). Going in to repair that on Wednesday. 4. Can't drive with sun roof open because the whistling noise is incredibly loud and awful. The wind vibrates the small piece that goes up and down when the glass opens and closes. I'm having a wind deflector put on and hope that will solve the problem. I'll keep you posted! My concern is that I keep needing to return to Hyundai for service, and I really want more of a trouble free car. Hope these small items don't keep cropping up over and over again. Thank goodness for the great warrantee. Otherwise I love the car. Super comfortable, and my kids think so too.

| I bought a 2007 Veracruz Limited last July, the first one that the dealer got in. I have had nothing but problems with this car and I'm considering arbitration to resolve the matter (in NV, you have to have the same problem four times). My first incident happened at approx 1,000 miles when my fuel pump failed to get enough pressure and my car almost left me stranded in the middle of the desert. I got the car back and had to take it back right away to get fixed again. I was not happy, but I had signed contracts so I was stuck with it. At 7500 miles, I had to have my fuel pump replaced once again because the car kept seriously lagging on hills and sometimes would not start or would have a very rough start. Once again, a new fuel pump. I now have 13,000 miles on my car and it's going haywire again. My ESC off light has started coming on, it once again started lagging on hills, and today it would not go in reverse. I doubt they will volunteer to take care of the problem so arbitration here I come. | |
| I have 15,000 miles on my 07 Veracruz and the vinyl on the armrests is arlready wearing down into the backing material. That was one thing that I could not foresee when I purchased my first Hyundai, the wearability of the soft parts. The armrests are under warranty, but I don't want to go through the replacement process every 15,000 miles. I hoped I was purchasing a vehicle that I could get over 100,00 miles without major replacement of interior parts. Maybe I am overreacting. My 1996 Ford Explorer had 180,000 miles on the armrest and no cracks or worn places. | |

Replying to: hvcowner (May 18, 2008 12:33 pm) My Air Bag light is again on - - inexplicably. Just an annoyance, but 3x in 18,000 miles for no reason seems odd to me. Need to go back to the dealer ... My A/C was fixed by the dealer under warranty. The compressor was totally shot and had to be replaced. I had a wind deflector put on the car, and it completely solved the wind noise issue - - my advice is buy one of those with the vehicle as it is absolutely necessary. |
