PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN 2012. CURRENTLY AT 112K MILES. OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN MY LIGHT DIAL IS IN THE "ON" POSITION AND SIGNALING RIGHT WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK IN CITY CONDITIONS (5-30 MPH) MY HEADLIGHTS (AND DASH LIGHTS) WILL FLICKER OFF AND BACK ON. LIGHT DIAL IS AT END OF SIGNAL STALK AND I INITIALLY CONCLUDED I POSSIBLY TWIST THE STALK IN A SLIGHT NATURE WHEN DRIVING TO CAUSE THE ISSUE BUT LATER CONCLUDED THE DIAL IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO TOUCH. I OFTEN KEEP THE LIGHT DIAL IN "AUTO" AND USUALLY ONLY HAVE IT IN "ON" DURING RAIN CONDITIONS. SAFETY CONCERN IS RELEVANT TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MOMENTARILY WHILE TURNING OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC THINKING I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS TO SIGNAL THEM TO GO INSTEAD OF ME CAUSING US TO TURN AT THE SAME TIME. OVER THE PAST THREE TIMES DRIVING THIS WEEK, I HAVE WITNESSED MY LIGHTS TURNING ON FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND THEN BACK OFF WHILE IN "AUTO" DRIVING IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND NO SHADE (OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DRIVE) AND NO SIGNAL STALK MANIPULATION. THIS EVENT CAUSED ME TO TAKE THE LIGHTS TO "OFF" WHICH ON MY NEXT EXCURSION CAUSE THEM TO FLICKER ON AND THEN OFF WHILE SIGNALING RIGHT IN CITY CONDITIONS.

HEADLIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH/STALK ON STEERING WHEEL. HAPPENS WHILE STOPPED, DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN WHILE MAKING TURNS.

Dashboard is literally disintegrating into many small pieces. The area over the passenger airbag will come at the passenger as plastic shrapnel. It will also probably affect the force the bag has when inflated. This issue is from using substandard materials.

On September 26, 2021 the airbag indicator light in my 2012 Hyundai Veracruz remained illuminated upon starting the vehicle. Around a day later, the airbag light stopped illuminating. Around a month later, I received a letter from Hyundai regarding a warranty extension to cover the clock spring, so I contacted my local Hyundai dealership. Tracy Hyundai indicated that the clock spring is fine, however there is a faulty passenger side occupant sensor. The fault code cleared; however this creates a safety issue as it is unknown if the front passenger airbags would deploy in the event of an accident. Tracy Hyundai indicated that Hyundai Corporation no longer makes this part so there is no available resolution. I contacted Hyundai Corporation, however they could not assist and referred me to contact the dealership.

It started with the back seat interior locks sticking. It has now turned into the back seat interior handle broken off. The other side is barely hanging on. My children are the usual passengers in the back seat and they are unable to open the doors to get out of the car.

GLASS SUN ROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE AND STUCK IN OPEN POSITION. HYUNDAI DEALER'S REPORT IS THAT TRACKS ARE CRACKED OPEN DUE TO SUN DAMAGE. ALSO THAT VALVE COVERS ARE LEAKING ON TO THE ALTERNATER

OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO, THIS VERACRUZ HAS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED AT TOP SPEED, AND I COULD NOT STOP IT WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS-I DONT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR. SOMEONE COULD EASILY GET INJURED OR WORSE.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A 2 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. AS I WAS TURNING I LOST STEERING POWER AND MY BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO REGAIN STEERING AFTER CROSSING BOTH LANES OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE ALTERNATOR BELT WAS REPLACED. THE VERY NEXT DAY THE EXACT SAME THING OCCURRED EXCEPT THERE WAS A LOUD SQUEAL THAT HAPPENED FOLLOWING THE LOSS OF STEERING AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON.THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN TO LOSE STEERING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD ALSO EXPERIENCED THE ABS SENSOR, EMERGENCY BRAKE SENSOR, AND ESC SENSOR COMING ON. REPLACING THE ABS SENSOR ON BOTH SIDES CORRECTED THAT ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
