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.

After having my valve covers fixed 2 X's for leaking under warranty/recall it started leaking a 3rd time and finally lead to engine failure while at the dealer to be fixed at 101143 miles 11/2017. The transmission started slipping intermittently about this time also. Dealer said trans needed replacing. After a lot of arguing and restless nights; the dealer covered a remanufactured short block. I had too cover everything else, $4200. A little over a year latter the engine started making unpleasant noises for 10-15 sec on a cold start. Dealer says these are "normal engine noises" and I got about 5-10 miles from the dealer and the oil light came on and the engine made knocking noises intermittently. I had the car towed to a different dealer immediately. Oil pump bad and needs another engine. Same engine has been recalled by Hyundai from 2011-2014 for premature failures, but not the 2010. I have two much older non-Hyundai cars with close to 200K miles on them and I don't have issues like this at all.

My 2010 Hyundai Veracruz had an oil leak. Since the alternator is on bottom of the engine, the oil valves leaked undetected onto the alternator causing it to short out. The vehicle locked up and I could not steer it. Thank god I wasn't driving fast and was able to coast into a parking lot where I finally came to a stop. I could not put the vehicle into park, the gear shift would only go into neutral. As a result, I had to use the safety brake to keep the vehicle from rolling back.
