CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Veracruz has a very small trend of complaints about the valve gaskets leaking oil onto the alternator, which is similar to prior model years and was covered in a 2014 recall.

Other than that, there are no major problems reported for the Veracruz on our site or to the NHTSA. Seems like it's a very good, reliable vehicle.

- Oil leaks causing harm to the function of the car. Yes, available for inspection. - The safety of our family was put at risk since we were left stranded at the airport on a late, hot Sunday with a broken car, & a two year old. -The vehicle was inspected by our car shop at C & R, Tire: 602-493-5258 17434 N Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ - The problem has been confirmed by the the important safety recalls we have received in the mail regarding Oil Leak on Alternator. - All maintenance up to date. Hello, My husband and I bought a 2010 Hyunday, Veracruz in 2018 before the arrival of our first son. It has been our first family car. Last year we began to receive important safety recall notices (three total). We didn't think anything of it since the vehicle was working just fine and we keep up to date with the maintenance of the vehicle. But then in the Fall of 2020 our car troubles began relating to oil leaks. I called the Hyundai dealership for help and was turned away, saying "there was no current remedy".  Our first bill came out to over $1,200 this past Fall (2020). It was a significant amount of money but we were hopeful that the issues had been resolved at C & R tire shop. Less than 6 months later we were at our car shop again due to oil issues and having to make another significant payment of $1,560.17 on 3/02/2021. At this point we felt very discouraged but once again were hopeful that the car would run well after that. However, we were wrong.  On Sunday, April 11th our family of three: My husband, two-year-old son, and I went to the airport to pick up a friend. While we were waiting for her arrival all of the lights in our dashboard lit up, the car died, and we were left stranded at the airport with no A/C and no way to get home. I ended up having to take an Uber with my son home and my husband spent hours at the airport trying to find a toe truck on a hot Sunday evening.  After finding no remedy, we changed the alternator ourselves and problem is solved.

One or two years ago the plastic driver door inside door handle broke off. This week the plastic passenger front inside door handle broke. Not good. If there was a wreck and you needed to get out of the car and the door handle breaks you could be in a world of trouble! I don't think door handles should break!! I have the passenger broken door handle.

Front oil cover gasket leaking on to alternator. According to research on my VIN number it was fixed. After reading owner complaints of same model Veracruz it appears to be a reoccurring problem. Which means this problem has not been completely resolved. After trying to crank vehicle at some point earlier this years and was unsuccessful. After further examination oil was visable as well as the smell of oil on alternator. Car later crank with no problem. But oil leak is becoming a problem as it is obvious the leak is increasing.

As of today 3 out of 4 interior door handles on my 2010 Hyundai Veracruz have broken. The remaining door is intermittent due to a defective door lock. From an online search this is obviously a very common problem, spanning several years and models, obviously due to poor design or materials. It is also not one that I care to pay to repair and then have to pay again in the future. Inability to open a door from the inside of the vehicle creates a serious safety problem. In the event of an accident I will need to be able to hopefully unlock the door, open the window and reach the outside door handle to get out. Of course this assumes that power is not interrupted as a result of accident. Without electrical we would be trapped in the vehicle. Additionally, as a man of color, I don't cherish the thought of having to explain to a cop that I cannot exit the vehicle without first reaching outside. This is not the first problem I've had with this car but this is one that Hyundai should definitely recall and repair.
