| Description of the problem | Nhtsa campaign #14v415000 was issues for recall of faulty valve cover gasket that can leak and short out alternator, causing loss of power while driving. Our veracruz has now had this valve cover replaced three times since this recall was issued, twice now in the last year. This time, 4/2018, the alternator was shorted out and caused loss of power while vehicle was is motion on city street. Hyundai has repaired faulty parts again, however, they have yet to have a valid fix for the problem. The repairs have only been a bandaid, as same problem keeps occurring. I believe there should be an additional recall issued till hyundai comes up with valid fix for the dangerous problem. |
