- Mine was a bad throtle body, it reset itself after shutting the engine down for 15 minutes then i was able to t=drive it to the dealership - rosemarc1Apr 10, 2009
- Yes, I had the same problem when my Veracruz was just 10 months old as well. I'm a Realtor and unfortunately had clients in my car when it broker down and had to be towed, leaving them with no ride back home. It was very embarassing and I was furious to have a new car break down on me. They claimed to fix it only for me to drive away and have to turn around, bring it back for the same condition. So far, 8 months later, no more problems but it's nice to finally get a "real explanation" of the "limp mode" and actuator problem. - cacrealtorMar 08, 2009
- I have a 2007 Veracruz, for the second time it appears that the module controlling the acceleration of the car has failed. The first time occurred after 10 months of service. It now appears that the same event has occurred after another 10 months os service. Each time instantaneously you loose acceleration. The vehicle continues to run, but there is only enough power to coast at about 20 mph. You have no ability to accelerate. This is a horrible feeling when it occurs, as it has now done twice, in the middle of heavy traffic with cars whipping past you.The Veracruz was towed in last night (Saturday), so I won't know for sure the feedback from service until Monday. I could not even reach anyone at Hyundai to complain about this servious safety problem. - singeag

- My Veracruz has been demonstrating similar problems. When at a stop light the idle has irregular RPM's. Today the check engine light suddenly came on and then the car would not go past 25 MPH. I had the peddle all of the way down and it had little power. I barley made it home.The car has less then 11 thousand miles and I have only had it for 15 months. This is not normal. - rsegarra7

- Check engine light came on - accelerated, however, it only made the vehicle "lug" down and coast home. Took it to dealer and they found 7 error codes - parts ordered and will be here in 4 days! Told it was fine and safe to drive - drove less than 10 minutes and had to be towed to dealership. - txcutterquilBest Solution

OK, folks, here's the scoop. The dealer took our Veracruz in for diagnostic testing and determined the cause of the problem was the actuator for the Electronic Transmission Control system (ETC).
Apparently, in later model cars like the Veracruz, a computer controls the transmission as well as the engine for optimum performance.
If the computer detects a severe enough fault in one of the components of the ETC (e.g. bad sensor, bad component, etc), it places the vehicle in limp home mode.
Based on my experiences, when in limp home mode, the transmission is forced to stay in 3rd gear, the engine will not exceed 2000RPM, the accelerator is not responsive past 2000RPM, and the engine runs rough (probably because the mixture is changed to very rich). The philosophy here, as was explained to me by somebody who works for Hyundai, is to allow the vehicle to continue operating long enough so that it can be driven to a safe location or for service.
I asked whether or not this limp home "feature" could be disabled at the dealership, but apparently it cannot.
I have alerted some folks at Hyundai Motor USA to this thread so they can do further research if the problem begins to affect more individuals than just us three.
FYI - I am in no way shape or form a mechanic or mechanically-minded, so if I have explained anything correctly, I will gladly accept further corrections/explanations from an expert or mechanic. :)
