 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... *tr

 My hyundai veracruz shut off while i was making a turn. i lost power steering and just averted hitting a concrete block holding a sign. prior to the shut down, i started losing acceleration even though i had my foot on the gas. the car had to be towed to the hyundai dealership, baltimore pike, springfield, pa. i couldn't even get the key out of the ignition. it was horrible and scary. a few months ago i lost acceleration and the car started running rough - engine light came on. i took it to same dealership above and was told it was an oxygen sensor. i told them i thought it was the throttle position sensor because i went online and found several other veracruz owners who had experienced what i had experienced with their vera cruz. towing and accidents were involved. they said they could only replace what the computer told them to. why didn't hyundai recall the veracruz and replace the throttle sensor to eliminate someone getting killed. maybe someone has been -i'll continue to do research. i should have never been allowed to be in such a serious situation - hyundai knows about the problem - i feel not replacing the throttle sensor is negligent. i just hope that by replacing the throttle sensor, the problem will be completely fixed. right now my veracruz is still at the dealership - they also had to replace the alternator and battery as a result of what happened. however, they are charging me for the battery - should not be but the warranty on the battery is up. i want this documented because of the danger involved. the 2007 veracruz is a timebomb waiting to go off and it scares me to think of what could have happened or what still could happen. *tr thank you, susan collins
