What owners wrote

Following email sent to hyundai dear sir: I have a 2011 vercruz with 27499 miles that I have loved until january 19, 2014. While traveling at 50MPH, the car suffered catastrophic loss of all electrical power: no power straining, no power brakes, no engine power. It could not be restarted. By researching the net, I have learned that this problem has been described many times before. An oil gasket leaks that drips oil on the alternator producing loss of all electrical power and a dead engine.
