Description of the problem	Oil leak from valve cover gasket dropped on alternator. Damage to alternator caused vehicle to shut off while going 60mph on an interstate. Multiple lights on the dash illuminated (including the engine and battery lights, the seat belt light started flashing), i lost power to the radio and the lights inside the car stopped working, quickly after these two issues started i lost the ability to accelerate (again, while going 60mph on an interstate). Verbatim text from complaint 14v415000 for the hyundai veracruz (including the model year 2007)- "an unexpected failure of motive power while driving increases the risk of a crash." i believe that this recall should be expanded to other hyundai vehicles as there are a number of other complaints online for sonatas for multiple years, including 2007. My local dealership quoted me $1372. 43 to replace the alternator, valve cover gasket, and battery (attached).
