Finally fixed the headlight problem that is nature to all veracruz, and all other problems that arose on our 2007 Veracruz with 23000 miles. We traded it in for a Toyota 4Runner! No we would not buy another!

As with any new model year vehicle, kinks in design, efficiency & reliability are to be expected. With that said, if you ventured into the new for 2007 Veracruz, common sense would have dictated the headaches and disappointments of being a "new car" adopter. I don't see that as a failure of Hyundai, but the short-sightedness of those who wanted new and got it. I pick up my 2009, with those '07-08 kinks worked out, in the morning. And I expect some things to not work out for me, but if they don't, that's just a plus as with any vehicle.

Blackimp - How is your '09? Any changes to it for this year? May I ask what kind of deal you got?

"We were almost ready to buy a new 08 Ltd for $10.5 - 11K off MSRP.
  
Before we pulled the trigger, we decided to take an extended test drive.
  
Good thing we did, we found the seats to be uncomfortable. The Veracruz seat depth is about 3 inches shorter than the cars we drive today.
  
Too bad, it seemed like a nice car at a good price."
  
That does not mean anything to me. You might have a bad back, who knows i dont...i have an 08 veracruz and the seats are just fine and comfortable to me. My wife has Scoliosis which leaves her back in pain at times. I asked her after reading this post as she has never complained about the seats and she said that the seats were great and she never had an issue on an extended drive from sitting in the veracruz unlike she did with Mazda CX-9..we traded last year but again its owners preference but i dont think you can bash a vehicle because you didnt like the seating. You have not owned a veracruz and made that comment on an extended test drive...doesnt hold much weight imo........

2008 Veracruz Limited Audio System by pdnrick

I have had my Veracruz 12 months. Recently the screen on the audio system on the dash has started to intermittently blank out, leaving the radio playing but unable to read any information or make changes that are readable on the dial. This has happened about four times in ten days.
 
Has anybody experienced such a problem. After turning off the car or turning of the radio for a few moments, the dial then presents readable information.This is a new problem and has occurred where our daily temperatures have been above 100 degrees 16-18 days in July.

Purchased VC a month ago and i don't drive it much (wife does) but recently had occasion to be in it and i could hear a slight grinding and feel a little vibration when brakes were applied. No issue with stopping but it seemed to cause some vibration on the break pedal but not the steering wheel. Can you tell me more about your problem and any other suggestions in case i get in the same boat you are in?

Should I purchase by kabh

I am having a difficult time deciding if I want a Veracruz or not. Does anyone have an idea when the next redesign might occur? Are most of you out there happy with your Veracruz? What would you say is the biggest flaw with the SUV? I keep reading about Genesis and Veracruz. What is that all about? Is there a chance they may discontinue the Veracruz? I keep my cars 7-8 years and since I drive it that long, I don't want to make a poor decision. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am driving a 2007 with just under 40,000 miles and I have had minor items come up that the warranty took care of. I still have not asked the dealer to fix the high beams shooting up in the trees because I live in a city and never have an opportunity to need or use them. If you drive this vehicle in town with stop and go , you will not get more than 17 MPG. For me, highway mileage has been at least 23 MPG usually at 70 MPH. No squeaks or rattles. It is very quiet inside and the interior plastics are the same as most car makers are now using. As to whether Hyundai will discontinue the Veracruz, only they know. The Veracruz must be some type of experiment for Hyundai since they ran 1 TV commercial back in 2007 and no print ads. They have never been concerned about volume sold. Since there are so few sold, I remind myself that I drive one of the rarest vehicles on US roads.
