Veracruz 2007 Limited with Ultimate Package 2800 miles Purchased Dec 07 While driving down a two lane mountain road, I experienced a failure of the accelerator and gear shift capability followed by burning electrical smell and the activation of the check engine light. I was using the manual Shiftronic to help control downhill speed varying between 2nd and 3rd gears, 2000 - 3500 RPM when this event occurred. The dealer is reporting that the computer became confused between all the manual gear shifting and simply stopped working. A technical support case was opened with Hyundai but there is no solution or software update. The error codes indicate that that the Traction Control System engaged several times. P2106 - Throttle Actuator Control System P1295 - ? P161b - ? Anyone had experience with this type of error or Shiftronic behavior?

Replying to: zlasr (Jan 15, 2008 12:38 pm) After one race at Timberline, we left the mountain and were caught in horrific traffic and driving snow. I pulled the Shiftronic into manual mode to control the hill descent. It was stop and go traffic, so during the long pauses I would shift to neutral and hit the park brake. This goes on for about an hour until.... Suddenly, there is a clunk in the transmission, check engine light and a transmission light. I have no idea what's going on but traffic starts moving again. The rig is gutless. I push over into manual mode, try to shift down. No go. I'm stuck in 5th gear and car will not accelerate over 1000 RPM. Bizarre. I'm caught between pulling over in a driving snow storm or just riding it down the hill until it's safer. So, I just let'er coast. Once down the hill and in the town of Welches, I pull over and just turn off the car and restart it. Everything resets except the check engine light. Monday AM I take it to the dealer. They pull the codes, and are uber surprised. The code is set to "Limp Home", which forces the car into 5th gear and won't go over 1000 RPM. What the hell is that? They promise to get back to me, but I'm nervouse because I'm going up every weekend in this thing to the mountain. 3 weeks later, I get a call that Hyundai Techs have no idea what it is. Ski Team season is over, and it never happened again after that time. I now have 2,500 miles on the rig, and other than the shifting behavior being a little puny on hill climbs and wanting to run down the hills in 5th and 6th gear, I haven't had any issues with the transmission. |

My 2007 Veracruz limited had a check engine light come on on 8/20. The car jolted and vibrated and would not accelerate. I was advised by the local dealer the car had a throttle warning code 2106, but that it cycled through and was fine without repair, after the dealer test drove it for 30 miles. The car was driven with no issues until it ocurred again yesterday, 9/17. This time I was told the following errors appeared: 2135 - Throttle Body 2106 1295 I was advised a Service Bulletin had been issued to dealers in February for this, and they were replacing the Throttle Body unit, which would take care of everything. The dealer stated they had replaced the unit on 3-4 cars to date and that it took care of the issue I was having. I am not happy. We will see if this resolves the issue.

Replying to: jhsmith007 (Sep 18, 2008 7:12 am) On the way home from dinner, my wife was driving our daughter again, the same incident occurred, 6/26/09. Our car is sitting at the dealership now, and we’re waiting on a response as to what the issue is and the suggested repair. This makes three times in less than a year. This is the primary vehicle for my wife, and she has our daughter with her most all of the time. In my book three strikes and you’re out. My primary concern is the safety and security of my wife and daughter. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with Hyundai on this? Thanks!

Replying to ihsmith007. I have a very similar experience with your incidents. Purchased a 2007 Veracruz Limited on November 2007. My car slowed down all of sudden while in driving in busy street, turning the check engine on Aug. 4th, 2008. There was no acceleration at all. Found code P2137 for APS sensor A/B correlation and replaced the APS sensor and reset the ECU. On Aug. 9th, my car slowed down all of sudden in the middle of driving again with no acceleration. Found P2135 for APS sensor A/B voltage correlation and replaced the throttle body. Today, Aug. 27th, 2009 which is exactly one year later, my car slowed down all of sudden again with no acceleration. Found P2125 for TPS fault and replaced TPS and reprogrammed. I live in Dallas Texas. Every day in summer is very hot down here. Coincidentally, I got the same problem in two years in a row. Am I going to expect the same problem will happen the next summer? Any thought? By the way, my dealer says no more acceleration problems anticipated in the futture becacuse all of parts have been replaced in the throttle body assembly. |
