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).
Minivan was parked at night in our home garage and spontaneously went on fire. All recommended factory maintenance was always performed. No recall for our vehicle existed. Significant risk to property and loss of life. Pushed it out of garage to save family and home.

I was driving the speed limit when all of sudden my hood flew up, smashed my windshield, thank god I was able to pull over and no one was hurt but, my hood was crunched and my windshield shattered, set up an appt. With Hyundai dealership as they told me the latch for hood had been recalled. On my way home stopped for gas, pulled in behind a man with his young child in a car seat when the van just started to accelerate, I couldn't stop, even holding both feet on the brake peddle, my husband reached over and turned the van off. We slammed into the back of the car with the baby in it, again, thank god no one was hurt but had these been different circumstances who knows what would have happened. Have no idea what caused the van to accelerate, and am really afraid of driving now.
Coming into my driveway, which I had done thousands of times before, pushed the open button on the van's mirror, my foot on the brake waiting for the garage door to open, my daughter to get out. However, before she could remove her seat belt, the van lunged forward with such speed, we were both screaming in shock. It smashed thru the garage door lunged with such force tearing down the closet in the back of the garage, running over lawn mower and power tools, and smashing everything in its path. My daughter, who is a professional driver, slammed it into park, and I turned off the key, still in shock. My foot felt like it went thru the floor I was on it with such force. My husband heard the crash (he is nearly deaf)so he rushed to pull me out as I was stunned, my daughter got out, called 911 as she smelled gas. …

I was driving on the street and heard a snap I then pulled over contacted a tow company and brought it to the nearest mechanic shop was told that my control arms are so rusted that they snapped on both sides left and right one cracked completely through the other 1 Has just a crack but was not completely broke had to pay for the repairs at $2677 later to find out that in 2014 a recall was made recall 115. I just purchased this car however records don't show this as a active recall so either it was serviced and not properly fixed therefore still making it dangerous for my family and others or was never completed and being sold as a unsafe vehicle to my sister whom I brought this vehicle from. When she bought it nothing about this recall 115 was listed so she was not aware when selling this van to us.
