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.
Driving a 2007 Hyundai Entourage van on the morning of December 30, 2011 we came to a stop for a red light. My foot was still on the brake pedal when two seconds later we were reared ended by another vehicle that was traveling at approximately 45-50 MPH. My spouse and I experienced severe whiplash. The driver of the vehicle that crashed into us claimed she never saw our stop lights. After the incident, I discovered there were two recalls for our van (06V356000 & 09V122000) related to intermittent brake light switches. We purchased the Entourage in 2009, but never was told or notified of either recall. Although the other driver was a fault, I believe that she May have been telling the truth about not seeing the brake lights. There are other recalls on the 2007 Hyundai Entourage since then (13V113000 and 13V556000) but we received a notice of either. …
When approaching cross traffic on a busy state highway from a business parking lot at low speed, my 2007 Hyundai Entourage experienced a sudden unintentional acceleration (sua) and was unable to be stopped on dry pavement. Even though the foot brake was depressed with as much force as possible, the vehicle was slowed but still uncontrollably moved into cross traffic without my opportunity to stop and prepare for clear and safe entry onto the highway. The oncoming driver from the left, although not able to stop while sounding his horn, swerved to the left ahead of my vehicle thereby avoiding a broad-side collision with my vehicle. Speed limit on this straight section of road was 45 MPH and my car was still moving straight ahead at a 'walking pace' but still unstoppable. My car narrowly missed colliding with the vehicle that was passing in front of me to avoid the broad-side collision. …

Are doors fly open driving down freeway. Doors don't close or latch half the time and are battery and alternator light constantly comes on and battery and alternator is good had them tested. U ask for a date and only let us put one date in this happens so often we're scared to even open drivers side sliding door. And something wrong with the brakes
Noticed cruise control was not activating and then not deactivating when manually braking. Upon arrival at destination, when engine was turned off, brake lights are remaining on and draining the battery. Unable to get the lights to turn off. Been having intermittent occurrences of ESC indicator going on at inappropriate times and remaining on. During those times, vehicle feels as if brakes are being applied even while I am attempting to accelerate on a straightaway. Vehicle seems to be so slow as if brakes are engaged. Found that stopping the vehicle and turning off the ignition completely will sometimes reset the car. Hyundai customer care was awful!!!! Said the stoplampswitch on my vehicle has already been replaced through a previous recall so they cannot replace it again even though the exact same problem is still occurring again. …
What is wrong with my Hyundai is below, however, the Hyundai dealer will not acknowledge since they say my VIN is not included - help.

A stop lamp switch malfunction May also affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature so the transmission shifter would not be able to be shifted out of the park position. …
My wife drives a 2007 Entourage se that currently has 96,000 miles on it. A short time ago the brake pedal got 'soft' or what some people might call 'spongy' or "mushy" accompanied with gradual 'leak down'or "fading" of the brake pedal. As this is normally a symptom of a failing master cylinder, I replaced the master cylinder. This did nothing to solve the problem. Next, I replaced the rear brake pads (although they were probably only half worn) to push more fluid back into the reservoir in hopes it would 'tighten up' the pedal feel. This also did not improve the situation. The front brake pads are relatively recent and not in need of replacement. I next took the vehicle to a dealership for diagnosis. The dealership indicated that what I was experiencing was a failure of the ABS module (pump and control unit) that they don't see very often. …
I have been experiencing several electrical issues with the van. The van has been to the dealership several times for motor issues with the sliding side doors. About 5 months after purchasing the van we had issues with the side doors popping open while driving 70mph down the expressway. This was an ongoing problem. Was told by the dealership that the issue was fixed. Upon the last visit to the dealership for a sliding side door that does not function properly I was told that the motor needs to be replaced despite the several complaints I have had about the sliding doors. The cost was over $150 to replace the motor for the door. Current issue is the brake lights do not illuminate at all. I called dealership after learning of recall online and they stated this was VIN specific and no recall was issue on my van and I would have to pay the cost. …
