| Description of the problem | 2007 hyundai veracruz total vehicle failure. Vehicle stalled out while pulling into intersection on way to church. Thank god we stalled before getting all the way into the intersection because cars were coming from both ways. I put the vehicle in n and we luckily rolled back out of the way. Problem was due to leaky valve cover dripping on alternator. I have seen many forums and read of many problems with this happening. Why hasn't anything been done about this? Does someone have to get in a wreck and die before there will be a recall. Now i have to buy the parts and change it myself and i can't find any good forums on how to access this thing. Please recall before something happens that can't be fixed... |
