#1 of 17 Hyundai Veracruz Suggested Improvements by posystm Sep 27, 2007 (12:06 pm)
Maybe someone is listening...   These observations are from my new 2007 VC SE, so I don’t know if the Limited or 08 addresses some of these suggestions.   1. Headlight Switch- Too easily get turned from "Auto" or "On" down to the next position when making a right turn. On the trip home it happened several times when using the turn signal for a right turn, I'll have to be more careful. Maybe a firmer rotary switch or dash mounted.   2. Front cup holders- Awkward position to get your Joe from. Would be way better forward of the trans selector.   3. Visor indent- add an additional indent on the inner part of the headliner   4. Automatically lock doors and arm the alarm without remote.   That’s it for now, after only one day of ownership I love the car but these things jumped out at me.

Replying to: posystm (Sep 27, 2007 12:06 pm) #3 bugs me a little too. I read recently that the '09 Veracruz will change the indent to the right side, that's the natural location for most people to reach for it. Not like it's going to help us '07 owners any!

Replying to: posystm (Sep 27, 2007 12:06 pm) I do not care for the car automatically unlocking when I put the car in park   There are times I put it in Park but still would like to be locked in, I have to remember to manually lock the car.

Replying to: ainot34 (Oct 29, 2007 10:45 am) Unlocking the doors when put into Park can be disabled by your dealer... Mine is set to lock when removed from Park.

Replying to: ainot34 (Oct 29, 2007 10:45 am) I had my 2007 reprogrammed to automatically lock at 15 mph and NOT unlock when placed in Park (they do unlock when you take the key out of the ignition and apparently there is no way to stop that).
#6 of 17 Hyundai needs to provide more front seat manual adjustments. by kevanriese Jan 02, 2008 (11:40 am)
I am 6'1" tall and I have had a touch time with adjusting my front driver seat position. I purchased the VC GLS (cloth manual seats) in July '07. We only have 5000 miles on it and I absolutely hate the driver seat position. Unfortunately, when we went to first buy it, our local dealer had no other VC models in stock.    I so wish I bought the power seat option.     I am completely unable to find a position that is comfortable, except by pumping the seat all the way down. Even then, my legs and thighs are way out front of the seat. I always feel that I am sliding forward.     I called Hyundai consumer affairs and they would not do anything because, as my service advisor said, the seat is operating as designed. I would even pay to have the seat swapped for the power one, but they would not do it.     I am very, very close to trading this in for another non-hyundai vehicle. The difficult thing is that the car is for my wife and she likes it. SHe only wishes I bought her the Lexus RX model, but we do not have the cash for anything like that.
#7 of 17 Smal things by 1trulove Jan 06, 2008 (6:44 am)
Owned my '08 VC SE 2WD for 4 months now. Some minor things could be changed: 1. The blue background on the instrument gages is difficult to read in the daylight. When direct sun hits, the background goes off-white and is much easier to read. However, at night the blue is just fine. 2. The arm rest in the doors could be extended more so that the grab handle is more natural to reach. This would require the relocation further forward of the window and door controls. 3.. The peddle for the parking brake digs into my shins. It doesn't need to be that low. Or how about a separate break handle next to the shift lever? 4. The suspension makes a "thump" sound when going over small road irregularities. Sounds like weak or no dampening, but that's not the problem, as the ride is fine. The sound needs to be isolated or eliminated. That's about it - after 5,600 miles were very pleased overall.
#8 of 17 Key fob/ Veracruz by kdmsm Mar 30, 2008 (11:12 am)
Do something about the sensitivity of the keyfob with the tailgate!
#9 of 17 power windows by srr3306 Apr 21, 2008 (4:26 pm)
I cannot find out how to open the windows remotely from the outside using the key fob. I have the proximity key feature. No mention of this in the manual. My other vehicles all have this feature. Anybody have some info here? Replies to this message: bigjimd2804 (Apr 21, 2008 5:32 pm)

Replying to: srr3306 (Apr 21, 2008 4:26 pm) Sorry, the Veracruz does not offer remote control operation of the windows, regardless of trim level or options.
