2015 Hyundai VELOSTER 3 C FWD

I turned my car on after work and saw my check engine light turn on I went to autozone to have it checked and they gave me a paper stating it was P0441 engine code. Which has something to do with an incorrect purge flow and is harmful to you and eats away at your gas mileage. Don’t know if this is a safety issue.

Vehicle consuming oil... been to dealership several times for this issue... oil consumption test performed confirming usage of oil. latest measurment on oil consumption was 1.8 quarts in 1000 miles. Vehicle blowing blue smoke, back of vehicle covered in oil. Vehicle lost power/accleration on highway causing large saftey issue. PA# from hyundai is 100577. Received updated warranty extension from hyundai up to 150,000. Car is exhibiting multiple signs of recall involving connecting rods. Have spoken with hyundai corporate, am now on my third case number with them.. case 19177351

My 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo had no open recalls. On 12/26/21, while stopped at a light, the car stalled, then started smoking, and caught fire almost instantly. There are known fire issues for similar models for which there are open recalls, but my car was not a part of these recalls.

Back in 2015 my dad bought me a brand new Veloster Turbo. Within the first 100 days of ownership my car had multiple electrical power outages. I would be driving at a speed of 55mph (Speed Limit) and all of a sudden the car would stop working. The gas didn’t work and all the electrical parts went out. This event happened multiple times but off and on. When I took it to the dealership they didn’t experience the issue so they couldn’t resolve it. I had a case against Hyundai but they didn’t care. From the Whistleblower that just came out against Hyundais safety protocols I have a firm belief Hyundai knew that there engines were faulty and my life was almost taken. Another incident was on the freeway driving the speed limit and all of a sudden everything stops working and turns off. Almost got killed that day due to cars almost hitting my car on the side of the road. I have had so many issues with my car and its been at a dealership for 3 weeks now. Another electrical issue has happened after they installed a new engine. It happened off an on and wouldn’t start randomly. The battery was great and everything checked out. The dealership is now looking at my car because they experienced the issue themselves. I am looking for a settlement due to safety protocols being ignored.I have proof from Laguna Niguel Hyundai and the problem should be documented by them. However the dealership seems sketchy and very bad customer service. I have been worried about this ever since the first problem. Its been a roller coaster and has almost cost me my life.

MY CAR IS CHANGING GEARS WHILE IM DRIVING- I WILL APPEAR TO LOSE IMMEDIATE POWER TO THE VEHICLE ONLY TO SEE THAT THE CAR THAT WAS IN DRIVE, GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR, DROPS DOWN TO 20 IN SECONDS AND IS NOW IN 2ND GEAR OR NEUTRAL ! OTHER ISSUES- PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE FROM PARK AND IT JUMPS TO NEUTRAL- PUT CAR IN DRIVE- STAYS IN DRIVE POSITION BUT SATYS IN NEUTRAL - PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT CAR THINKS ITS IN REVERSE - BLEW A PISTON AT 65000 MILES - HYUNDAI REFUSED TO HELP ME FOR 5 MONTHS - TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW ENGINE -- THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENNG FOR 2 YEARS - I WILL LIST THE LATEST EVENT BELOW

Hyundai has not completed a recall (20V746000) for my 2015 Veloster. I first contacted a local Hyundai dealership (Torpedo Gruppe) in Germany on 11 Aug 2021. After they told me they don't know anything about the recall, I contacted Hyundai America on 20 August. After working with a Case Manager (case #[XXX]) they put me in touch with a manager at Torpedo Gruppe on 18 Sep. I talked with the manager ([XXX]) the next day and dropped my vehicle off on 8 Oct, earliest appointment. After three weeks on 29 Oct I was informed that they would not be able to complete the recall for me. I called Hyundai America back up and had to open a new case (case #[XXX]). I am in the military stationed overseas in Germany at Ramstein Air Base. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My 2015 Veloster Reflex has been at Alan Jackson, Jackson TN. for 45 days. The vehicle was serviced there for campaigns/recalls. The primary complaint, engine failure while I was driving down Highway 70, the engine completely shut off, a defective engine, a product which Hyundai is at fault. The defective engine is consuming 1 quart of oil per 80 miles. I asked the service department to start the oil consumption test, Brian the lead technician, responded "You need a new engine." This safety hazard and economic burden has yet to be resolved. The Veloster is kept and maintained in immaculate condition. While the vehicle is only garage kept, it is now in the elements without protection, remaining on the lot of the service department for over 45 days, which is not in good faith a suitable resolution period. I commute 100 miles round trip for my profession as a University Professor in Microbiology for the University of Tennessee. My 2015 Veloster Reflex is my primary mode of transportation to various satellite and main campus obligatory profession duties. I am without transportation due to Hyundai's negalence in properly addressing these chief safety hazardous engine failures/massive oil (synthetic) consumption which is now blowing through my catalytic converter, exiting through my exhaust tips, turning them black and splattering oil along my rear bumper. The original case manager, Jose, failed to respond to this safety hazard in the 10 business days which Hyundai has set forth, as well as, when Jose would tried to be reached on my behalf, Jose was never available, in addition too, his voicemail was always full, which meant I could not leave a message. Again, is this how Hyundai's customer care is really showing through their actions that they do care?

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the check engine light was illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The interior cabin of the vehicle was vibrating when the contact pulled over. Knocking sounds were heard then the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle would not exceed 10 - 15 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the connecting rod bearings inside the engine were worn prematurely, resulting in engine damage. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was taken to an independent mechanic where it remained. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V746000 (Engine). The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The car began stalling while driving. Took to the Hyundai Dealer in Idaho Falls, ID and they changed spark plugs, did not repair the car, the coils, did not repair the car. Next, the car began vibrating and underpowered with the check engine light flashing. Made it to the dealership only to find out the motor suffered internal failure and is irreparable. This fits the exact description of the engine recalls that have impacted the other Veloster models. My car has been serviced regularly, with records of oil changes, tire rotations, and is currently in immaculate condition. The dealership has indicated that it will cost $8,000 to put in an engine from the salvage yard. I am certain that I am victim to the faulty engine.

I was driving on the highway and my car started stalling causing me to pull over and hasn't started since.

Bearing broke which lead to engine failure. I will have to be buying a new engine and turbo. Car stalled in the middle of a busy road. There were no prior indicators of a problem. All maintenance was up to date as well.

While washing my 2015 Veloster, the shark fin anntena just broke off, I see this has happened with hundreds of Hyundai Vehicles yet they have not done anything about it. The Dealer wants an outrageous $500 to $600 , I got crazy glue and carefully glued it back on. its solid as a rock now and only cost me $6.99 for the glue.

My car caught on fire and burn up I was almost killed

So my Manual Heater knob randomly stopped working as I was driving on 6/4/21 around 11 am as I was about to do an errand run for my family. I was told from a friend that there was a TSB issued on it and looked it up. I went to my local dealership Island Hyundai Staten island explained what was going on and they told me because it is a TSB and not a recall you will be responsible for the cost of repair. I told them why should I when this is a defective situation out of my hands I shouldn't have too.

I HAVE REPORTED AN ISSUE TO RONNIE FREEZE, SERVICE MANAGER AT O. B. , MS. HYUNDAI IN APRIL 2015. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAD ENGINE AND STARTING FAILURE FOR 15-25 MINUTES AFTER A CHECK SENSOR CODE POPPED UP. I GAVE THIS CODE TO SERVICE, AND ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS, 'WELL, I NEVER HEARD OF THAT'. LET ME KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AND IT DID, AND I REPORTED IT, AND... NOTHING. SAME OLD THING, DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT COULD BE. WELL AFTER THE THIRD TIME, I BEGAN TO FEEL THE CAR RUNNING STILL EVEN WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED. SOUNDS CRAZY BUT I HAD MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WITNESSED THIS ISSUE. SCARY THAT I REPORTED THIS ALSO, BUT NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING TO DO. MR. FREEZE AT OLIVE BRANCH HYUNDAI ACTED LIKE I WAS CRAZY. I KNOW WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE AND I SAY THAT I HAVE HAD ONE SINCE I SIGNED PAPERS ON 01/23/2015. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT A FIRE HASN'T STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE APPARENTLY NOT COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE ENGINE AND I ALSO FEEL THAT I PURCHASED A LEMON THIS TIME WITH HYUNDAI. I LOVE MY CAR AND TRULY HATE THE FEELING OF NOT KNOWING IF I WILL BE SAFE THE NEXT TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I FEEL THAT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY FROM HYUNDAI AS TO WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT FROM THEM. I NEED ANSWERS RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG OR HYUNDAI TO DECIDE WHAT THE SOLUTION WILL BE. I NEED A RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY NOW! I NO LONGER PUT 100% TRUST IN HYUNDAI. WHAT COULD THE RECALL COVER? A REPLACEMENT ENGINE, AND REPLACEMENT ROD BEARINGS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DAMAGED? I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI HAS FAILED MAJOR BY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME!! I DON'T HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE ANYWHERE NOW. I WANT ANSWERS.

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE (ROUGHLY 2017) WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY FAN CONTROL KNOB STARTED SPINNING FREELY, IT STILL WORKED BUT CONCERNED I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHO ALL BUT DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE KNOB STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD ON OCCASION CUT OFF THE FAN IF I WERE TO HIT A BUMP. BY THE END OF 2019 THE KNOB HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD HELD OFF ON GETTING IT REPAIRED AS IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND AFTER DOING QUITE A LOT OF RESEARCH I DISCOVERED IT IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR. IT POSES A SERIOUS HAZARD AS WHERE I LIVE IT IS EXTREMELY HUMID AND COLD DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND NO AMOUNT OF WIPING AND CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD GETS RID OF ALL OF THE FOG MEANING IT POSES A REAL THREAT BY LIMITING VISIBILITY.

CAR TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE IS BAD ON THE CAR. I SENT IT TO HYUNDAI WHERE THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY 6000 FOR A ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH A RECALL IS ON THE CAR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 30 IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS GOING ABOUT 70 I PUT THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL AS WERE APPROACH A HILL THE CAR SHOT UP TO 6000 RPM AND WOULD NOT SHIFT, I HAD TO TAKE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND USE MANUAL DRIVE. I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY JUST A FLUKE ACCIDENT BUT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED AND EVENTUALLY WHEN I PUT MY CAR AND DRIVE IT WON'T GO IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TAKE OFF AND WHEN IT DOES TAKE OFF IT JERKS INTO GEAR .. I HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH AND FEELS LIKE IT MISSING.. THEN ON THE INTERSTATE 67 /167 I WAS TRYING TOP ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STALLED FOR A GOOD MOMENT, ENOUGH TO SCARE ME TO I HAD TO PULL OFF ABRUPTLY..

IM WRITING TO COMPLAIN, THAT HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THIS APPARENTLY WAS KNOWN OF EARLY DECEMBER AND I JUST FOUND OUT. WHEN I LOOKED IT UP THEY HAVE NOT STARTED THE RECALL PROCESS YET. POSSIBILITIES ARE ENGINE FIRE, STALLING AND ACCIDENTS. I WANTED TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THANK YOU.

TRAVELING FROM LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS TO BRANSON MISSOURI MY PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE INNER STATE. SCARED ME AND MY FAMILY TO DEATH NO REASON FOR THE BREAKAGE THAT I CAN SEE NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THIS MODEL AND BRAND BUT I AM OUTSIDE THE DEADLINE MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 VELOSTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER KEITH HAWTHORNE HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 4712 WILKINSON BLVD, GASTONIA, NC 28056 WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE. FOUND OUT THE ROD BEARING WAS GONE. CALL HYUNDAI AND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRE WEEKS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. HAD TO SWAP ENGINES ON THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS BAD. ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE BURNING OIL REALLY BAD. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION GEARS DROPPING OUT OF NO WERE. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WHEN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND SHIFT IT INTO 2ND GEAR AND WHEN IT SHIFT TO 3RD IT DROP TO 1. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER CAR BEHIND ME. IT WOULD OF DEFINITELY COST AN ACCIDENT AND HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD WITH ME. I TALK TO HYUNDAI AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE WITH SAME ISSUES.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR LOST POWER. STEPPING ON THE GAS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE. CAR IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WE ARE BEING TOLD THE ENGINE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY DETAIL IS THERE IS A NOISE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE EARLIER YEAR VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NO CRASH OR FIRE. IT HAS TAKEN 4 DAYS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM HYUNDAI. THEY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL UNTIL WARRANTY WORK IS AUTHORIZED BY HYUNDAI, WHICH COULD TAKE ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR DAYS. CONSIDERING THE SERVICE DEPT IS TRYING TO GO THROUGH HYUNDAI FOR WARRANTY INSTEAD OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT. I REGRET BUYING THIS CAR.

THE A/C KNOB, WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON, LIGHTS UP. THIS LIGHT BURNS UP THE INSIDE OF THE KNOB AND CAUSES THE CONNECTIONS TO BURN OUT WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE AIR SPEED SETTINGS. CURRENTLY MINE MUST SIT AT 3 OR IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE HEAD UNIT WHICH BLACKED OUT AND STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE.

MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER SLOWING DOWN ON THE HWY, I GO TO STEP ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE HAS NO POWER. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN PUT IT DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY ON THE FREEWAY. NOT AT A FULL STOP. 5 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR.

OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS SQUEALING NOISES HAVE BECOME VER NOTICEABLE ON THE BRAKES. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS MOISTURE, BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAPPENED WHEN IT IS 98 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I WENT TO A LOCAL WELL KNOWN MECHANIC SHOP AND REPLACED THE BRAKES THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKE PADS BUT IT WASN'T. THE NOISE ONCE AGAIN SHOWED UP. ANOTHER ISSUE, THE AC GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE ON THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR ON A WELL MAINTAINED CITY STREET AND THE REAR HATCHBACK GLASS SHATTERED COMPLETELY.

THE TRUCK LATCH BROKE AT 30,000 MILES ON MY 2015.

AFTER SHOPPING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I WAS IN MY PARKED VEHICLE WITH MY SIBLING IN THE TARGET PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR WAS ON BUT NOT RUNNING . I OPENED THE AUTOMATIC FELT COVER TO WHERE THE SUNROOF DOES NOT OPEN AS WELL ONLY THE FELT COVER WILL OPEN. I COMPLETELY STARTED MY CAR SO THAT IT'S NOW RUNNING AND THIS IS WHEN MY SUNROOF MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT AND STARTED OPENING UNPROVOKED THEN COMPLETELY SHATTERED OVER BOTH OF OUR HEADS. *TR

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY. *TR

CAR HESITATES AND WOULD NOT GO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK. HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND HAS HAPPENED TWO OR THREE TIMES.

CYLINDER 1 HAS BEEN MISFIRING. HAS THE ERROR CODE P0301. I TOOK IT IN TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A SPARK PLUG. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOW IS WORSE. MISFIRES/BACKFIRES IN THE ENGINE WHEN PRESSING GAS. LOUD POPPING SOUND COMES OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR ALSO DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY. IT IS SHAKY WHEN DRIVING.

MY CAR HAS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR FIRST LOOKS AS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION (STATIONARY) BUT THEN YOU MOVE TO DRIVE OR R DO NOTHING, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT HAVE ONLY 30000 MILES AND I JUST PAY MY LAST PAYMENT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE HYUNDAY PAGE DO NOT HAVE OPTIONS TO FIND A DEALER NEAR ME WHEN I WRITE MY ZIP CODE. I SENT MY CAR TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE SENSORS AND THEY DO NO REPAIRS, I FEEL I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SUBCONTRACTED REPARING DEALERS, THEY PUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GUARANTIES INTO SUBCONTRACTED REPAIR DEALERS.

A/C FAN SPEED CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YRS. 75000 MILES. PULLED HVAC UNIT FROM THE DASH TO FIND MELTED CONNECTORS ON THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE BACK OF THE FAN SPEED CONTROLLER. A SEARCH ONLINE HAS TURNED UP A PLETHORA OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN 2012-2015 VELOSTERS. THERE'S SIMPLY TOO MUCH AMPERAGE RUNNING THROUGH THE CONNECTION FOR THE HIGH SPEED FAN SETTING WITH IMPROPER MATERIALS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARTS TO HANDLE IT. SIMPLY PUT; THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP FIRE HAZARD. THE FACT THAT THERE E BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS, YET NO ACTION ON HYUNDAI'S PART IS NEGLIGENT.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT BAD RIGHT AFTER 60000 OR 62000 TO BE CORRECT. I ALSO HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THE NEXT WEEK, SO WE TOOK TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THIS ALL MAKING NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL, THEY SAID THEY FOUND METAL PIECES IN THE OIL PAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN BEING PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL THUD SOUND, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK, AND THE BRAKES MADE AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EMPIRE HYUNDAI (428 PLEASANT STREET, FALL RIVER, MA 02721) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS NORMAL AND WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11.

A/C, HEATER, DEFROST, AND HAZARD INDICATORS ARE FUNCTIONALLY INTERMITTENT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND VERY LOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT TIME HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THEYRE EVEN ON AND WORKING ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING AND AT NIGHT TIME I WAS DRIVING HOME TWO NIGHTS AGO TGE WEATHER WAS VERY BAD AND I HAD TO TRY MY HARDEST TO BE ABLE TO STAY IN RIGHT LANE AND AVOID DEBRIS FROM THE WIND AND RAIN AND DRIVE BELOW SPEED LIMIT AS WELL CANT SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN ROAD LIKE POT HOLES DEBRIS ETC

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF CLOSED, I STARTED HEARING A STRANGE POPPING, CRACKING NOISE. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THERE WAS A LOUD BOOM NOISE FOLLOWED BEING SHOWERED BY BROKEN GLASS SHARDS. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED, OUT OF THE BLUE. NO COLLISION, IMPACT, OR FAST SPEEDS. IT WAS THERE ONE MINUTE AND GONE THE NEXT.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FAILING. INTERMITTENTLY BOOT OT ENGAGING INTO R OR D GEAR AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON CONCERN FROM A HIGH NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VELOSTER OWNERS. I CONCIDER IT DANGEROUS AS HOW IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO ACCELERATE, GEAR SLIPPED OUT AND VEHICLE ONLY REVED HIGH AND NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY NO FAST TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORST. THIS HAS HAPPED TWICE AND HYUNDAI HAS YET NOT FOUND A FIX AND TOLD ME THEY CANT FIND PROBLEM AS THERE IS NO TROUBLE CODES REGISTERED IN TRANSMISSION. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST HAPPENED TO ME WAS ABOUT 50K AND SECOND TIME AT 90K. EVERY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN BEEN PERFORMED TO VEHICLE WITH RECORDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED FLAMES AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

ALL THE SENSORS ARE CONTINUAL REGISTERING PROBLEM. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL STOP WORKING DAILY. CANNOT HAVE HOOD SHUT WHEN KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. IF SO ALARM WILL GO OFF. SUSPENSION IS OFF. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS PULLING A CAMPER ALL THE TIME. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE BUT THE SPEED WILL NOT. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT RE-ENGAGE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ACCELERATING, USUALLY WHILE I AM ON AND INCLINE AND AFTER THE TRASMISSION HAS BEEN THROUGH FREQUENT SHIFTS AT HIGH RPM'S. I HAVE VIDEO BUT IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. THE PROBLEM CAN BE VIEWED ON YOUTUBE WITH A VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

KUMHO KH TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOT QUALIFY FOR TAMY CURRENT RECALL. THEY DESPERATELY NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED DUE TO POOR QUALITY, SEPARATION AND LOOSING AIR. MANY VELOSTER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE AND DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. MANY THANKS!

WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON AND PUT INTO REVERSE IT PERIODICALLY WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. IF YOU PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND THEN INTO REVERSE IT STILL WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. YOU MUST PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. WE HAVE RECORDED THE TRANSMISSION NOT GOING INTO GEAR AND BOTH HYUNDAI OF AMERICA AND OUR DEALER ARE DOING NOTHING. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT THEMSELVES 'IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED'. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF ANY CAR AND IT HAVING GEAR CHANGING ISSUES MAKES ME CONCERNED THAT IT COULD ESCALATE BEYOND THIS.

TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO TRYING TO GO. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY STOPPED OR WHILE GOING UP A HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND DID NOT IMMEDIATELY GO BACK INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CHANGED GEARS BY ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN CHANGED THE GEAR SHIFT ACTUATOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN 24 HOURS AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DISLOCATED, UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONTINUED TO CHECK ON THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. AS A RESULT, THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,246.

I WAS DRIVING THE 2015 VELOSTER TURBO ON A STRAIGHT PORTION OF THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN. THE SUNROOF SHATTERED UNEXPECTEDLY, AND GLASS FLEW BOTH INTO THE CAR, AND OUT BEHIND THE CAR. THE GLASS LANDED ON MY ARMS, HEAD, LAP, AND WENT DOWN MY BACK AS WELL. I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AS A REFLEX TO BEING STARTLED, AND THEN OVERCORRECTED AND WENT LEFT PAST MY LANE. I DID NOT HIT ANY CARS, HOWEVER. GLASS KEPT FALLING ON TO THE FREEWAY, INTO THE CAR, AND ON MY HEAD FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND FOUND THAT THE GLASS SHARDS HAD MADE MANY CUTS INTO THE PAINT TOWARD THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP LATER HAD ME CIRCLE THESE SCRATCHED WITH A WAX PEN. INITIALLY, I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BUT WHEN I MENTIONED THAT THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE FOR PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS, ANOTHER SERVICE CONSULTANT JUMPED IN AND TOLD ME IT WOULD ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY.

I HAD MY 2015 VELOSTER AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE AUTO TRANS SOUNDING LIKE THE AXLES WERE BAD WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE. TRANS WAS FLARING UP BETWEEN 1-2 & 3-4 BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL.THAT WAS 5200 MILES. AT 14314 THIS BAD CV JOINT NOISE STARTED & AGAIN WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL.AT 20859 TRANS WAS REPLACED PER THE HYUNDAI FIELD ENGINEER. BOTH PROBLEMS STILL THERE. NEVER EVEN GOT IT HOME BEFORE NOISE STARTED. BACK IN AT 25878 WITH BOTH PROBLEMS AS OF YESTERDAY & NOW THEY ARE SAYING ITS A CHARASTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE TRAVELS 240 MILES PER DAY AS U CAN SEE BY THE MILAGE. IF THESE AXLES OR CV JOINTS LET GO MY WIFES LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER AT 70 MPH. DDEALER INSISTS NO PROBLEM & I HAVE NOTIFIED HYUNDAI OF AMERICA & THE BBB AUTO LINE WITH NO CALL BACK AS OF YET. TNX FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE

I JUST NOTICED THAT ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE THERE IS A BUBBLE ON IT'S SIDE WALL. THE CAR LEASED NEW BACK IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. THE TIRES ARE THE KUMHO SOLUS KH25. I'VE ALSO NOTICED HERE ON THIS SITE, I SEEN A COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME THING. I'M HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY TO SEE WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO TELL ME. AS FOR SPEED CONTROL. THIS CAR CANT GO ABOVE 55MPH - 60MPH WHILE ON HIGHWAY NORMAL CURVES WITHOUT THE REAR SWAYING WHILE RUN OVER DIVIDER LINE ON THE PAVEMENT. LESS SPEED WHEN IT RAINS. I'M REALLY HAVING DOUBTS ABOUT THIS CAR ONCE IT STARTS TO SNOW.

STARTED CAR STEERING WAS HARD COULD NOT TURN . RESTARTED STEERING WAS BETTER. DEALER TOLD WIFE BRING TO DEALERSHIP WITH THEM KNOWING STEERING PROBLEM . THEY TOLD HER NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WILL TAKE TWO MONTHS TO CORRECT. CAR ONLY SEVEN MONTHS OLD. PAID CASH SO I HAVE NO OPTIONS.

I HAVE HAD 3 VELOSTERS BRAND NEW, THEY COME WITH KUMHO SOLUS KH25 AND THEY ALL DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLES, EACH TIME I CANN FOR A WARRANTY THEY DENY ME SAYING ITS MY FAULT, YET MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. MY NEW 2015 VELOSTER RSPEC HAS THEM AND HAS DEVELOPED A SIDEWALL BUBBLE AT 4300 MILES. *TR
