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.
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. …

Then the 19th. Then I was told the parts would arrive in a couple of days and did I want to leave the car there. I declined.

I am contacting you because I see that Hyundai has issued a recall for alternator failure because of faulty valve cover gaskets. I believe that this should also be extended to the Kia sedona minivan and the Hyundai Entourage that use the same configuration of engine. I noticed on my 2007 Hyundai Entourage that the front valve cover gasket is leaking and that it is leaking on the alternator. A quick google search will provided many other examples of this happening on these vehicles. I believe that Hyundai is not willing to research this because of the many more minivans it has sold. This is a very serious defect and I believe it does warrant looking into.
