| Description of the problem | Battery warning light came on, followed by every other warning light on the dash, one by one (abs, air bag, check-engine, etc.) drove car to a safe place and turned it off--and then it would not start again. Had car towed to dealer who diagnosed a failed alternator--and this is the fourth time on this car which has less that 60k miles on it. My parents also own a veracruz and are on their third alternator. This is a known problem with hyundai yet they will not engineer a good solution and fix it once and for all. This is the fourth time we have been stuck at the side of the road and had to be towed. This is not acceptable. Someone needs to step in and require that hyundai recall these cars and find a solution that works for more than a few thousand miles. |
