Recall 197. Oil leak from valve cover gasket. Hyundai has refused to repair this. I've broken down 2 times in the last year. I've spent over $2000 on repairs. Hyundai refuses to reimburse me or repair the vehicle. What can you do to help.

RECALL 197: no fix yet? 2011 Veracruz AWD Limited May 19, 2021 Car quit operating. Shut down after little warning. Instrument panel lit up indicating some sort of problem, then no power. Unable to restart. Had Veracruz towed to the nearest repair shop East County Auto on hwy 12 ( Glenoma, WA) only 33 miles from breakdown. Feel like this car is Unsafe, AND hoping to get a fix so it can be safe. Hyundai says a fix is coming in a recent letter, but I have a PROBLEM with this car NOW. Will proceed with diagnostic efforts, repair if possible, and wait for Hyundai permanent fix or reimbursement. Feel that Hyundai is responsible for an immediate solution to this problem. LIVES ARE ON THE LINE!

Hyundai announced the following recall in November 2020. To date they have done nothing to remedy the problem. My vehicle had this problem and failed while driving on the freeway in 2016. I repaired the problem back then at my expense but my vehicle should be assessed by Hyundai and cleared or additional repairs made. I am waiting over 6 months for a remedy on a recall that was originally announced in 2014 and reissued in 2020 because of Hyundai's failure to adequately address the problem. Nov 13,2020 manufacturer recall number197 NHTSA recall number20V705000 recall statusrecall incomplete summary Hyundai motor America is recalling certain 2007-2012 Veracruz vehicles that were previously recalled under recall number 14V-415.

I received a recall notification from huundai motor America regarding a safety recall with engines leaking oil from the front cylinder bank's valve cover onto the alternator. As a result, it damaged the alternator resulting disablement of the charging system. The engine shut off and cna increase the risk of crash. I took it in to the dealership and called their customer service (3/18/21 case # 18073112) and they said they have no resolution. Now, my car is completely not drivable. I have to take it to a mechanic shop to replace the gasket and alternator. I firmly believe that hyndai motor should be responsible for the cost.
