Oil leaks down from the top valve gasket onto the alternator causing a random and erratic electrical disturbance and failure that can happen at any time causing serious risk of safety. With the alternator being damaged in this form also put other potential electrical systems at risk of damage. This is either the 3rd or 4th time of repeat failure. Previous time has damaged the battery. Luckily this time it went out in a parking lot just before was going to drive and had complete loss of power. Vehicle had to be towed into dealer service center. Upon inspection the alternator and valve cover gasket had to be replaced out of pocket as service center claims these are not covered. Tried to escalate the issue to Hyundai Motor Corporation to be reimbursed and was given a case manager. After a couple days I was told the original 121 recall is to old and not covered under warranty anymore and repairs were already made. I explained that recall 197 is a continuation of the previous 121 and she had to check back with the service center. A couple days later she reports back that they still will not cover the costs as the repairs have already been done before in the past. This time when received vehicle back from service center turns out the steering wheel tilt and telescoping module no longer functions.   Costs of Alternator $1832.99 Costs of Valve Cover Gasket $313.31  Totaling $2146.30 that is suppose to be covered due to the recalls.   Not repaired because of hassle between service center and Hyundai Motorcorp refusal to reimburse anything is the Steering Wheel Tilt/Telescoping module quoted at $1096.06  Included photo is taken of the alternator prior to being towed and clearly shows the over time build up of dripping oil all over it.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"VERACRUZ","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
