2007 Hyundai Entourage Electrical Problems

The valve over eventually leaks oil that drips down on to the alternator. This cause the electrical system to fail, the battery and brake lights come on. Then slowly all lights come on as battery shuts down. This is a known issue with this engine. This happened to me yesterday while driving at night leaving the car unable to drive. When the battery completely shuts down you cannot even move the vehicle out of Park, as electric is needed to disengage the the shifter from park, so you cannot even push the vehicle off of the road. Hyundai has a recall for the exact same engine in the Veracruz. Here are two videos showing issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLmj8Gqc1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Q78so3GPI https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/entourage/engine-oil-leaking-problems.php The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling).

DEALERSHIP HAD ME MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME IN FOR THE 188 RECALL (ABS RELAY INSTALLATION), KEPT ME FOR 2 HOURS, TRIED TO SELL ME ABOUT $2,000 IN UNRELATED MAINTENANCE, THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE RELAY SERVICE. THEY THEREFORE WASTED MY TIME WHEN THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF PERFORMING THE RECALL WORK. THE RECALL WORK HAS NOT BEEN DONE, AND I'VE WASTED A WORK DAY. DEALER REP WAS ALSO INTIMIDATING WITH REGARD TO THE MAINTENANCE HE WAS RECOMMENDING.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE IN 2015 AND 2 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT BOTH DOORS MOTORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN ABOUT 10 TO 15 INCHES. WE'VE HAD TO USE THE HANDLES TO OPEN BOTH DOOR AND THE HANDLES BROKE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THEY BROKE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT MADE TO BE USED SINCE THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE USED WITH A REMOTE AND ARE MOTORIZED. WE'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE OUR HEAD LIGHTS AND BACK LIGHTS ABOUT 6 TO 8 TIMES THAT'S MORE THAN I'VE CHANGED ANY LHEAD LIGHTS ON ALL MY VEHICLES IN MY ENTIRE 44 YEARS OF OWNING CARS. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 6 RECALLS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2015. PLEASE JUST RECALL AND REPLACE THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO MAKE UP FOR HOW POORLY THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE AND THROWN TOGETHER. TY *TR

I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE I SEE THAT HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR FAILURE BECAUSE OF FAULTY VALVE COVER GASKETS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD ALSO BE EXTENDED TO THE KIA SEDONA MINIVAN AND THE HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE THAT USE THE SAME CONFIGURATION OF ENGINE. I NOTICED ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE THAT THE FRONT VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING AND THAT IT IS LEAKING ON THE ALTERNATOR. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL PROVIDED MANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS HAPPENING ON THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THAT HYUNDAI IS NOT WILLING TO RESEARCH THIS BECAUSE OF THE MANY MORE MINIVANS IT HAS SOLD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND I BELIEVE IT DOES WARRANT LOOKING INTO. *TR

MY VAN WOULDN'T START ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS ON THIS DAY. HAD TO TURN THE KEY 3-4 TIMES EACH. OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS IT HAPPENED PERIODICALLY, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY, TWICE A WEEK OR ONCE EVERY 10 DAYS OR SO. VAN CAN'T BE JUMPED BECAUSE THERE IS POWER, TRIED PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL THEN PARK AGAIN BUT STILL WOULDN'T START. TRIED FOR 20 MINUTES THEN WALKED AWAY FOR 30-60 MINUTES & VAN STARTED IMMEDIATELY UPON TRYING. DEALERSHIP "THINKS" IT'S THE IPM. FINALLY GOT THAT REPLACED BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD THEIR TOP MECHANIC PUT THOSE NOTES IN THE COMPUTER SO THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT MY REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCK ISN'T WORKING BEFORE I EVER LEFT THE LOT (NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF). 3 DAYS LATER VAN WOULDN'T START. HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SAYS TO CHECK GROUND WIRES. 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING VAN BACK IT WOULDN'T START & ANOTHER 2 DAYS LATER BOTH SLIDER DOORS & REAR HATCH LOCKS STOPPED WORKING (NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS DROPPED OFF). NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE ALL 3 FAILED LOCK SENSORS. THEY MESSED IT UP!!!! I'M NOT PAYING FOR THE REPAIR!!! THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANYONE IN THEIR 2 STORES WITH A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR IS PATRONIZING, LIES ABOUT THINGS MY HUSBAND HAS SAID, LIES ABOUT NOT GETTING MY VOICE MAIL WHEN I DIAL HIS EXTENSION DIRECTLY & PROBABLY DOESN'T TELL THE MANAGER EVERYTHING & CONTRADICTS HIMSELF. FOUND THIS WEBSITE & IT'S AMAZING TO SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING. NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WHO WANTS TO SIT IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUN TRYING TO START THEIR VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR? BEEN THERE DONE THAT TOO MANY TIMES. TIRED OF THIS CRAP! I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED! THEY JUST WANT TO SELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

ON MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THE FRONT VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AT THEN DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN THREE DAYS (AUGUST 8, 2014) TO HAVE THE FRONT VALVE COVER REPLACED. THE COST ESTIMATE IS $653.00. NHTSA RECENTLY SENT ME A NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ THAT HAS VIRTUALLY THE SAME ENGINE COMPARTMENT LAYOUT AS MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL ON THE VERACRUZ IS TO REPLACE LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET AND THE ALTERNATOR FOR FREE BECAUSE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. I THINK THAT HYUNDAI OF AMERICA SHOULD DO THE SAME FIX FOR MY VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I DO? I BELIEVE THAT ODI SHOULD VERIFY THIS COMPLAINT AND CONTACT HYUNDAI TO ISSUE THE SAME RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR
