| Description of the problem | In nov 2017 my 2008 veracruze (98k miles ) started losing power, indicator lights flashing then it died in the middle of an intersection. Turned out to be a very oily alternator. It was repaired. 1 yr 1 month later exact same thing happened. Again the alternator was oily and needed replaced. Now 2 weeks later i'm starting to see the warning signs ( flickering lights, dead battery in the morning 1 time, power seat memory positioning buttons not working) called nearest hyundai dealership ( over 2 hrs away) to verify that my car was included in the recall. I was told it was but it had been replaced in 2015. But that i could drive it to spokane, have it diagnosed possibly have to return ob a different day for repair and then contact hyundai to see if they would help . Its going to cost $900 to repair! Plus they want me to drive or tow my car 2 hrs away for no guarentee hyundai will again fix the gasket. |
