| Description of the problem | On my last visit to the dealership service department, i was told the front valve cover gasket was leaking and needed to be replaced. I was unable to have the repair done at then due to time constraints. I now have an appointment in three days (august 8, 2014) to have the front valve cover replaced. The cost estimate is $653. 00. Nhtsa recently sent me a notice of a recall on the hyundai veracruz that has virtually the same engine compartment layout as my vehicle. The recall on the veracruz is to replace leaking valve cover gasket and the alternator for free because oil is leaking onto the alternator and causing a safety hazard. I think that hyundai of america should do the same fix for my vehicle free of charge. What do you recommend that i do? I believe that odi should verify this complaint and contact hyundai to issue the same recall for my vehicle. |
