Summary

During cold temperatures (sub 32F), the driver's side door will not open from the outside. Occasionally the passenger door is affected as well. This required crawling through the hatch to open the doors from the inside. When the key fob is actuated you can hear and audible click in the area of the door lock, but it can't be opened. Once the weather warms and the car warms up the doors perform normally. This has never occurred during the warmer months.

Summary

When I was driving and got up to to the front gates, my car stalled. I knew I didn’t stall my car myself so I was curious what happened and didn’t think much of it so I just turned my car back on. Then the check engine light came on. As I started my car again it would act weird and just start to hesitate kind of. I went to park and as I came back the car would not turn on. It would just keep trying to turn over at really low rpms then shut off. After that it would not turn on what so ever. Hyundai is currently in the process of looking at it.

When pressing the gas pedal at a lower speed, the engine would hesitate and the car would not increase in speed...regardless of how hard I pressed. This has been randomly happening for the past few weeks. Today I received a recall notice in the mail and will be bringing the vehicle in.

Summary

On June 11th, 2021, as I was driving on the freeway my car lost all power. I was doing 65 in the second lane on the right. The sudden loss of power almost caused a semitruck to hit me. This was do to engine problems laid out in the current recall. I didnt know about the recall, Hyundai still hasnt notified their customers. My car has 13k miles and I've had Valvoline change my oil every 3k miles (last oil change at 10k). In a matter of 3k miles my car burnt all engine oil. (there were no oil leaks). No dashboard lights came on to inform me my oil was low.

Summary

I BOUGHT A NEW 2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER THREE WEEKS AGO. I HAVE DRIVEN IT FIVE TIMES. ON THREE OF THOSE FIVE OCCASIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR SCREECHED TO A HALT, AS IF THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED. IT DID NOT DO THIS EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION - IT WAS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON 8/31/20, WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 350 MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, SERIOUS DEFECT.
