CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Veracruz has a minor trend of complaints where the valve cover leaks oil onto the alternator, causing alternator failure. The problem starts with the battery warning light & typically all the other warning lights coming on in quick succession. Luckily, that problem was covered in a 2014 recall.
Overall, It's a solid reliable vehicle with no major problems reported.

Hyundai has brake and rotor issues and won't do anything about it..the vehicle off the lot had rotor problems had them shaved then replaced and they were worn out within a year.. they can offer this 100,000 mile warranty because the consumer pays for brakes everytime they step foot in dealership.. if you search internet you will find brake issue with all vehicles from Hyundai.. they will not do anything about this problem.. cheap material on vehicle!
