Poor engineering and reliability

Stay away from Hyundai. You get what you pay for. We are on our 3rd Alternator and this one is covered with oil and could go any day. The engine design has an oil reservoir pan directly over the alternator. The pan has fasteners facing down, so even with the gaskets over the fasteners being replaced multiple times via recall, they still leak on the alternator. Hyundai only replaces the gaskets once and never paid to replace the alternators. Drives side door handle broke, gaskets on the back doors fall off, the paint chips if you touch it. DVD player goes out because the wiring is wearing out when the tv is opened.

What good is a good engine and transmission when the interior is cheaply made?

No wonder they don't make this model any more. Moulding fell off door several weeks after purchase, was replaced under warranty, has never been right since. CD player broke. all interior door handles broke. (Had to replace them myself.) Windshield wiper motor broke in the rain ($600.00 repair-thankfully I fixed it.

I see why they stopped making the Veracruz

I love my Veracruz, don't get me wrong, it seems though, to have some motor component design issues that have caused me to keep my vehicle in the shop. Also, the paint on the front of the vehicle is coming off.. no rust, so I'm not sure why. However, I've come to love Hyundai vehicles because of the Veracruz, I will continue to purchase Hyundai.

Great size, too much maintenance.

We have the 2008 Vera Cruz. We bought it when our oldest was 1 year old. It has a great size, love the cargo space, and the ability to seat seven. But we've had issues over the last two years. New alternators, engine and more. We've always bought cars to keep, not to trade in after a few years. But we may have to change our minds.

2008 Veracruz

The Veracruz was a nice car until the warranty period was over. I have had to replace the heated seats twice and they still do not work correctly. The rear heat/AC was leaking and needs to be replace to the tune of $950.00. The transmission bangs into gear and the key fob does not work on the drivers door.

The Veracruz was awesome when first purchased.

The 2008 Veracruz was absolutely a great vehicle when first purchased. The last 3 years we have spent so much in repairs we probably should have purchased a new vehicle. We have clear coat peeling off the paint. We have had an ongoing issue with the transmission and the rear a/c raidiator rusted out.

Cruising with Vera!

I think it has a great ride. Great handling. Goes through snow very well and the ice. I love the 3rd row seat. Don't use it as much as I did but my grandchildren don't all need car seats anymore. Was part of the reason I bought it. Only wish I got better gas mileage.

Unexpected Great Car

I bought this car used. I'd never owned a Hyundai so didn't know what to expect. Although I think I paid too much the car has been the most reliable car I've had in years. This even takes into account my brand new Toyota Sienna. The negatives are: not great traction in wet and snow, I need a place for my purse, fuel economy could be better and the A/C took some figuring out. Still, like I said it rarely needs a visit to the mechanic.

Love my Veracruz

I've had my VeraCruz for 8 1/2 years. I've put 88,000 hard miles on this car and have had very little problems. I love the roomy 7-person seating, and the price is extremely reasonable for a car this size. My only complaint is that some interior parts are cheaply made and prone to breakage (I.e. plastic center console latches.) I have several broken latches , not that it's a huge deal. Otherwise, this is my second Hyundai, both of which I have been pleased.

150,000 miles and are starting to experience problems.

Up till now experience has been very good. Recently (after 140,000+ miles), have been experiencing several problems such as steering, valve gasket leaking and toe-out alignment with front wheel. Otherwise, have been pleased with the Veracruz.
