#19 of 27 Spare falling out of bottom of Veracruz storage area by hiestand May 04, 2009 (1:17 pm)
Replying to: jmaulsby (Jul 18, 2008 10:56 am) This is a reply to jmaulsby, but it's about the "squeak" in the rear of the vehicle. My 2008 Veracruz LTD AWD has 24,000 mi and has had the squeak since the beginning. I was told my rear tire had cupping, my service rep, said it was because I probably had driven over something like a curb. But I also hear a syncopated noise from the rear tire area. Probably from the cupping defect.      Last Sat. as I pulled into a parking lot off a busy street, the entire spare tire fell out of the bottom of the storage area all over the street. I looked for the "bolt" that holds it into place but it was nowhere to be found. No bolt, just a cable mechanism. Today when I took it in to be put back up into the storage area, I was told the cable holding the spare in place had frayed and broken. Anyone else lose their spare when the cable frayed & broke?
#20 of 27 Vibration at 70 Mph. Any thought? by ls1993 Jun 24, 2009 (2:55 pm)
My 08 VC Limited (3300 miles on it) vibrates when it reaches 70 Mph. It usually last for 5 to 10 seconds then the car comes back to its normal, smooth self. The annoying thing is most of the time when it accelarates to 70 Mph, the vibration returns. My first thought was the wheel alignment and balance, got both of them taken care of but the problem persists. Any thought??
#21 of 27 Veracruz Recall - Beware! by srr3306 Jul 05, 2009 (12:11 pm)
The Hyundai recall on 4/15 which covers several 07 & 08 models sounds innocent enough: brake light switch can cause brakes lights to not illuminate or remain illuminated... but read on! For vehicles like the 'cruz with brake-shifter interlock, when that switch goes, it basically paralyzes the vehicle that gets locked in park.   Now, I know there is a manual override procedure to unlock the shifter, but my wife drives the car and does not enjoy reading the manual as much as I do. So... if your vehicle is on the recall list, don't wait! Bring it in before this defective part fails. We were lucky. Ours went the day before a week-long road trip to some pretty remote places. If it had happened a day later, it would have been a real mess getting it to a dealer. And also know the fix takes at least two hours, so plan accordingly.
#22 of 27 Probable Battery Problem by mckartney Sep 07, 2009 (9:35 am)
I have a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz and it was working perfectly yesterday. Until the morning of today. When trying turn the engine ON it wouldn't turn on, it only flicker. I checked the terminals and they were lose, I tight them up and I had to jump start my vehicle. Is this normal, do I have to change the battery? Or do I have to send it to service?
#23 of 27 Re: Lights dimming [xquuzme] by acdii Sep 08, 2009 (7:09 am)
Replying to: xquuzme (Jun 22, 2008 5:32 am) I noticed my lights dim when it downshifts too, but not the blower. It could be that the engine revs down too low between shifts, and that will cause the alternator to put out less amps. It may be something as simple as a PCM update to fix.   Yes, I also have wear in the paint by my rear wheels.
#24 of 27 Transmission stuck in third gear by mfriedrich Sep 09, 2009 (9:03 am)
While driving 60mph on an interstate my 2008 Veracruz suddenly lurched, down shifted and lost forward momentum. I pulled of to the shoulder to evaluate what had just happened. The check engine light and 4W drive light were on. The engine was running, but I could not rev the engine at all. RPM remained at 1K. The car would not go any faster than 5MPH. I shut the car off and called for the tow truck..... After only one half hour I re started the car and everything seemed normal except that the check engine light remained lit. The car is now at the Hyundai service center. Any ideas as to what happened? Replies to this message: jlindh (Sep 11, 2009 8:49 pm)

#26 of 27 Realaying to mfriedrich by indy501 Sep 12, 2009 (6:50 am)
I posted my message under Hyundai Veracruz Check Engine Light error Codes on 8/27/2009. Basically, I had the exactly same problem of yours not just once but three times. Now I have enough experience thru, I can advice to anybody who goes thru the horrible thing. My advice is that when you had a problem first time, don't let the dealer fix the one thing at a time. Otherwise, Otherwise, the chances are you are going thru the same problem over a long period time with three parts. So, replace two censors and throttle body assembly all together. Anyway, it's under warranty. Only good thing about is that every time it happened, I was nearby the dear fortunately and they fixed the problem right away within 30 minutes. Once again, Read my message and you go from there.   From Dallas, TX Replies to this message: mfriedrich (Sep 12, 2009 7:24 am)

Replying to: indy501 (Sep 12, 2009 6:50 am) Thank you for your input. The dealer replaced the Throttle Positioning Sensor. So, for now, the car is running fine. I'll post again if anything new occurs.
