2012 Hyundai Veloster Complaint Log

THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. FIRST HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY. IT IS NOW OCCURRING IN MOTION.

THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING BACK AND FORTH. ALSO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. I AM TOLD THERE IS A VERY INEXPENSIVE COUPLE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS COMMON. I HAVE APPX 90000 MILES ON CAR. STARTING NOTICING THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I MENTIONED THIS TO MECHANICS WHERE I NORMALLY HAVE CAR SERVICED. THEY RECOMMENDED SEEING HYUNDIA AND MENTIONED THE COUPLER.

REDUCED STEERING RESPONSIVENESS AND CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOSE STEERING MADE STEERING LESS RESPONSIVE AND DANGEROUS. THE RUBBER STEERING COUPLING BETWEEN THE STEERING TRANSMISSION BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING SHAFT HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND BROKE APART. THE CAR HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE EXACT SAME PARTS ARE USED ON THE HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND SONATA, BOTH OF WHICH HYUNDAI EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THIS PART TO ADDRESS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS WAS FIRST OBSERVED. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RESPOND SMOOTHLY TO STEERING INPUT. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER STALL AND HAVE A FUNNY SMELL MY CAR STALL AT A RED LIGHT HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD

THE POWER ASSIST STEERING COUPLER IS DEFECTIVE AND MAY POTENTIALLY FAIL AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL.I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ADDRESSING IT.

MY AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE OF A PART IN THE STEERING WHEEL CALLED THE CLOCK SPRING.HYUNDAI WILL FIX IT,IF I PAY $327 AND I THINK IT SHOUD BE FIXED FOR FREE.

WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS THE ENGINE DIES MULTIPLE TIMES. ALSO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE AFTER PUTTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS STILL ON.

MY CAR LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE COUPLER GOING BAD IN THE STEERING WHEEL. MINE STARTED AT AROUND 85,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THERE MAY BE A BULLETIN ON IT. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE WHEN TURNING IT AND HAS ABOUT 2 INCHES OF PLAY.

BURNS OIL AND MAKES NOISY WHEN HIT THE GAS PEDAL ALSO IT PUSHES IT SELF WHEN STOPING.

THE CAR STARTED TO RATTLE AND STARTED TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF A SEMI BUSY ROAD AND LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT WHILE TURNED OFF AND THEN AFTER 30 SECONDS TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND TURNED DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD (ROTHROCK CIRCLE COPLEY, OH) AND THAT IS WHEN THINGS GOT REALLY BAD.THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND STARTED TO ACT EVEN STRANGER. IT HAD ISSUES ACCELERATING AGAIN AND THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LUNGED FORWARD AND THEN WHITE SMOKE AND FLAMES CAME FROM UNDER THE CARS FRONT END. I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR AFTER TURNING IT OFF, GRABBED MY PERSONAL ITEMS AND RAN OFF INCASE OF AN EXPLOSION. I CALLED 911INSTANTLY AND WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH COPLEY POLICE MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIREFIGHTERS CAME OUT AND STARTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS MELTED, BURNED, AND DESTROYED.

WHILE DRIVING IN TUCSON AZ, ABOUT 42 MPH AND WITH A/C RUNNING, I SMELLED A BURNT SCENT IN THE CABIN, THE A/C SHUT OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT, I SWITCHED THE FAN SWITCH TO ANOTHER POSITION AND IT STARTED AGAIN, BUT IT ONLY WORKED IN THE 2 AND 4 POSITION. THE NEXT DAY THE SWITCH ONLY WORKED IN THE 1 AND 3 POSITION, AND NOW ONLY IN THE 3 POSITION. I REMOVED THE TRIM PANEL TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG AND SAW A CONNECTOR AND WIRE CONNECTED TO THE FAN SWITCH DISCOLORED FROM HEATING UP. I LOOKED AT THE FAN SWITCH ITSELF AND IT HAD MELTED ON THE INSIDE. I DECIDED TO TAKE PICTURES BECAUSE SOMETHING IS SHORTING OUT IN THE HEAD UNIT AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. I TALKED TO HYUNDAI (CASE#: 15918166) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE THEMSELVES AND NOT GO OFF THE PICTURES, SO DON'T ALTER ANY EVIDENCE. WHEN I GOT DOWN TO HYUNDAI, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $140.00 TO INSPECT, THEN THAT MONEY WOULD GO TOWARDS THE REPAIR COST, ESTIMATION $500-$600. WITH THE EXT WARRANTY EXPIRED BY 3K, THE ENTIRE COST WOULD FALL IN MY LAP. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS MY SELF, SO I COULD LET THEM INSPECT IT UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO REPAIR THE REPAIR COST. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD AND ITS EVIDENT HAPPENS ON ALL THE YEAR MODELS (ACCORDING TO THE FORUM).

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE PANORAMIC SUN/MOON ROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH.

I WAS DRIVING HOME THEN STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THAT'S WHEN I FELT MY CAR TO LOSE POWER AND START TO DECELERATE. ONCE IT STOPPED IT SHUT OFF , AND ALL OF MY LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD WAS ON. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, EPS LIGHT. I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD AND IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF WAITING THE ENGINE STILL WASN'T TURNING OVER. I LEFT MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.

CAR GOES IN SAFTEY MODE AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEY HYUNDAI DEALER, LOCATED AT 4660 SOUTHSIDE BLVD #100, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32216, (904) 642-6060 , WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MDPS COUPLER REPLACEMENT FOR NOISE ON STEERING COLUMN NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIRED FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

THE STEERING COLUMN POPS EVERY TIME I MAKE A TURN, WHETHER A SHARP TURN OR MILD. I CAN BE PARKED AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT POPS. THERE SEEMS TO BE LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING.

MY CAR HAS CODE OF P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. THE MECHANIC I HAVE HAD LOOK INTO THE CAUSE HAS SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. IT'S A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER 1.6 LITER NON-TURBO, THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST RECALLS ON YOUR SITE. MY VEHICLE THOUGH IS NOT INCLUDED AND I FEEL IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE DUE TO HAVING CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO DESIGN FLAW IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR FAILURES.

WHILE PARKED, CAR STARTS HARD THEN WILL NOT SHIFT, DESPITE THE DASH SAYING IT'S IN DRIVE. HAVE TO SHUT OFF, WAIT, THEN RESTART. AT STOP SIGNS, CAR WILL STALL THEN NOT RESTART. ONCE RESTARTED, CAR WILL NOT SHIFT. NEED TO SHUT OFF THEN RESTART REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT SHIFTS. WHILE IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL ACT AS IF IT'S LOST ENGINE POWER AND THEN STALL COMPLETELY. AGAIN, CAR WILL NOT START, AND ONCE IT STARTS IT WILL NOT SHIFT. AGAIN REPEAT THE TURN ON/OFF PROCESS UNTIL IT SHIFTS. HAS HAPPENED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY BUT DEALER CANNOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH IT'S UNPREDICTABILITY.

WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN ALMOST CAUSED A SEROIUS ACCIDENT ..TOOK IT IN TO BE REPAIRED THE PLASTIC COUPLING PIECE WAS UNDER $20 AND LABOR WAS $320. MY MILIAGE IS UNDER 55,000

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES DESCRIBING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RECALL, THE ENGINE IS LOUDER THAN WHEN I GO OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE KNOCKING NOISE AND I JUST GOT IT IN SEPTEMBER. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEBODY ABOUT THIS SINCE IT'S NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO IMPACT TO THE SUN ROOF. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. SUPERIOR HYUNDAI NORTH (LOCATED AT 5665 DIXIE HWY, FAIRFIELD, OH 45014, (513) 870-9800) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INSPECTED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V051000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

COMPLETE CAR FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY GOING BETWEEN 70 AND 75MPH AND I WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR ALL I SEE IS SMOKE SO I PULL OFF THE FREEWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER AND I SEE A FLAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. SO I POP THE HOOD LATCH AND I OPEN IT AND THERE WAS A FIRE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SO I SHUT THE HOOD AND GO AND GRAB NECESSITIES OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SHOW UP AND PUT OUT THE CAR. WELL WHEN THEY SHOWED UP, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO SALVAGE ANY USABLE PART OF THE VEHICLE. AGAIN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY/HIGHWAY TRAVELING BETWEEN 70MPH AND 75 MPH

ON FEBRUARY 22, 2019 AT 6:51PM I WENT TO MY CAR TO RETRIEVE SOME PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND NOTICED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING MY CAR NOR DID I HAVE ANY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MY CAR SENSE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND ARE SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THE SUNROOF TO BE FIXED. THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS ON THEIR END. THIS IS PEOPLES LIVES THAT ARE AT STATE WHILE IN THIS CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND OVER 8 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING WITH THE SUNROOF AND EVEN AN ARTICLE WHERE A FAMILY HAD THE SUNROOF SHATTER ON THEM AS WELL AND HYUNDAI JUST SETTLED OUT OF COURT WITH THEM ON JANUARY 21,2019. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES LIKE THESE AND ALL CAR DEALERSHIPS NEED TO TAKE THESE CARS OFF THEIR PROPERTY. SOMEONE COULD BE SEVERLY HURT OR EVEN DIE DUE TO THINGS LIKE THIS. NONE OF THIS OKAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE GETTING BACK INTO THIS CAR EVEN IF THE SUNROOF WAS FIXED.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD MY VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED AND CAN GET RECORDS OR OIL CHANGES/REGULAR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT A DEALERSHIP AND COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE OIL LIGHT WAS BACK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH ALMOST 2,000 MILES LEFT UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND WHEN THEY CHECKED THEY SAID THERE WERE NO OIL LEAKS AND THE FLUIDS WERE TOPPED OFF. THEY SAID THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY EMMISIONS. 2 WEEKS LATER I'M DRIVING AND MY ENGINE STARTS KNOCKING SO I PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND OPEN MY HOOD AND CHECK MY OIL AND IT'S GONE. I PUT 3 QUARTS IN AND DROVE IT HOME WHERE I PARKED IT UNTIL JANUARY 16TH WHEN I HAD IT TAKEN TO HYUNDAI TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD RECALLS AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW GASKET SEAL AND OIL CHANGE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED IT STILL HAD NOISE AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALLED PARTS WERENT AVAILABLE AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE HOME AND DRIVE BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. HYUNDAI JUST RECALLED ALOT OF 2012 CARS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2011 AND I'M HOPING THIS CAN GET LOOKED INTO AND I CAN GET SOME HELP BECAUSE I HAVE ALL MY SERVICE RECORDS AND EVERYTHING SHOWING WHERE I KEPT UP THE CAR AND THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING OUT OF NO WHERE. ALSO IF THIS AFFECTS ME IN ANY WAY MY CAR IS BARELY OVER 100,000 SO HYUNDAI SAID I WAS OUT OF LUCK AS FAR AS WARRANTY AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT 600 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO FIX THE WRONG THING.

I OWN A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER TWD. MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED OUT OF NO-WHERE AND I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION, I NEED TO REPLACE A STEERING BUSHING AND IT IS NOT COVERED IN ANY RECALL AND I AM READING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS ITEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED. GREAT CAR, BUT NO ACCOUNTABILITY BY THIS ORGANIZATION TO FIX THEIR ENGINEERS ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FRONT WHEELS SEIZED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TITUS-WILL HYUNDAI (888-287-9396, LOCATED AT 2255 CARRIAGE LOOP SW, OLYMPIA, WA 98502), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE CONTACT WAS PLACED ON A FIVE DAY WAITING LIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THIS IS FROM A HYUNDAI TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 17-ST-001 DATED FROM FEBRUARY 2017. ITFS FOR A MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING (MDPS) COUPLING REPLACEMENT. IT MAKES A TERRIBLE AND VERY LOUD THUD SOUND ON EVERY LITTLE BUMP OR HOLE ON THE ROAD AND YOU CANFT EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER IN THE CAR ITFS SO LOUD. THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING ON THE ELANTRA GT, SANTA FE, ELANTRA COUPE AND AZERI MODELS. THE OP CODE IS 56300F25. CASUAL PART #56315-2K000-FFF. NATURE CODE D61 CAUSE CODE ZZ4

THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND TURN THE WHEEL IT CLICKS AND JERKS. EVEN WHEN YOUR STANDING STILL, IF YOU TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FOURTH. WHEN ON HIGHWAY IT VIBRATES AND STEERING JERKS. TOOK TO A MECHANIC IT WILL COST $500.00 TO REPAIR. THEY SAID IT WAS A PLASTIC FULLER IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE 16,809 MILES ON THE CAR I NOTICED STEERING WAS BECOMING CLUNKY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS A COUPLER WORN OUT. THE DEALER HAD IT IN STOCK AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING IN STOCK SAID IT IS USUALLY UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WELL, I HAVE LOW MILES AND FOR A $2.14 PART THE LABOR BROUGHT IT UP TO $488.68. IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM AND MOST CARS AT MY MILEAGE ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY..

IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT AND THE WHEEL JERKS TO THE SIDES

MY DAUGHTERS CAR WHICH WE BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO, WITH ABOUT 41.000 MILES ON IT . THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 9 MONTHS . IT STARTS AND RUNS . BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR WILL RUN WHILE TAKING OFF. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN CHUGG OR DIES OR NO POWER,STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND DOES IT AGAIN . IT WILL DO THIS EVENING SLOWING DOWN OR AT A LIGHT TO STOP .IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND WILL RUN ROUGH .THEN COMES OUT OF IT AND RUNS OK OR TAKES 10 MINS TO START .THEN WHEN YOU START IT YOU HAVE TO HOLD ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. NO CODES GOES INTO LIMP MODE .JUST SPENT $1000.OO FOR ENGINE MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP 3 MONTHS AGO .NO CODES .DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AFTER DRIVING IT 3 TIMES . THEN AS SOON AS WE LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP IT RUNS ROUGH AGAIN . OF COURSE THEY CLOSED AFTER WE LEFT .REPLACED COUPLE OTHER ENGINE PARTS FOR SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS . I GUESS THERE IS NO ONE THAT WORKS ON CARS WITHOUT JUST USING A COMPUTER ONLY . YOU WOULD THINK HYUNDAI WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS !!! I CAN WORK ON OLDER CARS NO PROBLEM . THIS IS BECOMING A LEMON LAW CAR IN MY OPINION .!!! YOU WOULD THINK OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS . THIS IS AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN ON THE ROAD TO SOMEONE .

STEERING WHEEL CLICKS AND VIBRATES DURING TURNS & LANE CHANGES. THIS ISSUE IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS & HAS PROBABLY CAUSED WRECKS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ISSUE IS IN THE PLASTIC PARTS USED. THE SUSPENSION & STRUTS ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, BOUGHT NEW OFF SHOW ROOM FLOOR 2/14.2013. CAR HAS 80000 MILES AND IS ON THE SECOND SET OF LOW PROFILE TIRES. I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE GUIDE IN THE MANUAL.

TAKATA RECALL

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD NOICE, SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE AND ALL THE TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR STOPPED AND OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE ENGINE SEIZED AND IS NOW WORTHLESS. IT ONLY HAD 97,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. OVER 1.2 MILLION KIA AND HYUNDAI MODELS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING WITH LOW MILEAGE BUT VELOSTER WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!! HYUNDAI REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

THIS ISSUE HAPPENED TWO DAY IN A ROW.. I START MY CAR UP TO GO TO WORK, PUT IT IN GEAR AND CANT MOVE BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES ARE STUCK, MY CAR IS STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY CAUSING ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK, I CALLED MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR 4,490 VELOSTER THAT YEAR.. IF MY CAR DOESNT QUALIFY BECAUSE OF SOME SILLY VIN NUMBER BUT HAS THE RECALL ISSUES.. SHOULDNT IT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V051000 (VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS WHEN YOU MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN SITTING STILL. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ELANTRA AND SONATA. PLEASE REFER TO CASE NUMBERS: FOR THE ELANTRA ' NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11085127 AND SONATA NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11101809 AND NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11093962.

CAR HAS BEGAN DOING THIS OFTEN NOW. AT 115K MILES. START THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, CAR WON'T MOVE. PUT IT IN REVERSE. SAME ISSUE. HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND REPEAT UNTIL IT MOVES. OCCASIONALLY I'LL STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND GO TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AND AGAIN, IT WON'T MOVE. ENGINE JUST REVS. HAVE TO REPEAT ABOVE UNTIL IT MOVES. REPLACED CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND KNOCK SENSOR. DIDN'T FIX IT. NOW THE CAR DIES WHILE IN PARK AND STALLS BETWEEN 15-2000 RPM. THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND NO ONE HAS A SOLID ANSWER. AND NO RECALL. INSANE. TAKING IT TO HYUNDAI AND CONSIDERING A LAWSUIT WITH MY EVIDENCE AND ALL THE OTHER FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS.

MY 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTOR HAD A SUNROOF RECALL AND WAS INSPECTED IN LATE 2014 AT THE DEALER. NOTHING WAS NOTED AT THE TIME. ON APRIL 17 2018, THE SUNROOF EXPLODING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, CASTING SHATTERED GLASSES ON THE FREEWAY AND DAMAGED THE VEHICLE BEHIND. SHATTERED GLASSES ALSO RAINED ON TOP OF ME. LUCKILY MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR AND THEY DENIED DUE TO PASS THE 60K WARRANTY. I WAS SHOCKED AND ANGERED. I HAVE THE VEHICLE FOR 6.5 YRS AND THE SERVICE AGENT SAID ITS AN OLD CAR AND OUT OF WARRANTY. HOW IRRESPONSIBLY HYUNDAI IS ON PROTECTING THE CONSUMERS AND DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

THE HYUNDAI VELOSTER COMES WITH VERY LOW PROFILE TIRES AND DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE. THE THIN SIDE WALLS ON THE LOW PROFILE TIRES MAKE THEM PRONE TO BLOW OUT HITTING VERY SMALL POT HOLES. THE 'INFLATOR' THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USABLE FOR ANY OF THE 7 TIRE BLOW OUTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO OF NORMAL CITY DRIVING, LEADING TO FREQUENT STRANDINGS AND LONG TOWS. THE NATURE OF THE TIRE FAILURE MEANS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT SPEED, THE TIRES GO FROM IMPACT TO BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS, LEAVING LITTLE ROOM TO GET TO SAFETY. THE COMBINATION OF UNSAFE TIRES FOR ANYTHING BUT PERFECT ROAD CONDITIONS AND NO SPARE AND AN ABSOLUTELY INEFFECTIVE TIRE REPAIR SYSTEM, POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK TO CONSUMERS.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A LOCKED GARAGE FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE SECURITY CAMERAS DIDN'T SEE ANYONE NEAR MY CAR.

STEERING COUPLER HAS DISINTEGRATED (THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SONATA, BUT NO RECALL YET FOR VELOSTERS). CLICKING WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL (ANYTIME, CAR IS ON OR OFF, IN MOTION OR STATIONARY).

MY HYUNDAI VELOSTER PANORAMIC WINDOW RANDOMLY BREAKS AND ITS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT BROKE AGAIN AND NOW I DON'T WANT THAT GLASS ABOVE MY HEAD THAT CAN JUST SPONTANEOUSLY BREAK DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SO I WANT A REGULAR ROOF PUT IN WHERE THE PANORAMIC WINDOW IS AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO THAT THEY SAY THEY WILL ONLY PUT THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW BACK IN. WHAT CAN I DO I HAVE ALLREADY BEEN WITH OUT THIS VEHICLE FOR A MONTH AND SO I ASKED THE GARAGE IN TOWN TO PLACE A ROOF INSTEAD OF THE EWINDOW AND HE IS . HOW CAN I GET HYUNDAI TO PAY FOR THIS IT'S THERE DEFECTIVE WINDOW?

WHILE DRIVING 45MPH THE SUNROOF EXPLODED THROWING GLASS AND A PORTION OF THE SUNROOF ON MY HEAD.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE ON INTERSTATE DURNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 45MPH MY RADIO WAS OFF WINDOWS WERE UP, MY SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND THE SKYLIGHT COVER WAS IN THE BACK POSITION WHICH I NEVER CLOSE BECAUSE IT GIVES ME MORE HEAD ROOM. I HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF AND SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING ALL THROUGHOUT THE CAR, NOTHING HIT THE ROOF, THE SOUND WAS A SOUND OF EXPLOSION. IN A STATE OF SHOCK THINKING I WAS SHOT OR A ROAD SIDE BOMB WENT OFF I PULLED OVER TO GET THE THE GLASS OUT OF MY HAIR, FACE, AND CLEAN MYSELF UP THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AT THAT POINT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GLASS INSIDE THE SEATS AND EXPOSED TO WEATHER. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF HAS CAUSE CUTS TO MY FACE BACK AND HANDS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND IS A HUGE RISK TO OTHER MOTORIST AND THE DRIVER AND IT'S PASSENGERS.

STEARING MOTOR COUPLER HAS DISINTEGRATED MAKING FOR PLAY IN THE STEARING AND UNSTABLE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE CAR HAS A FAILING STEERING COUPLER JUST AS OTHER MODELS OF HYUNDAI HAVE AND THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN BUT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO TO NO RECALL. IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN OTHER MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO A LANE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BLEEDING ON THE FINGERS AND THE FOREHEAD, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,600.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HEAR A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. DURING MY ATTEMPTS TO GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO SHACK SECONDS LATER FOLLOWED BY AN EXPLOSION THAT FILLED THE CAR WITH SMOKE AS IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD PASSER BYS STOPPED TO HELP GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE ANYONE WAS INJURED.
