2012 Hyundai Veloster complaints

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed at a local mechanic with an evaporative emission system leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V393000 (Equipment). The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.

Car stalls out while driving. It happens randomly while on highways, going up or downhill, & while making turns. No warning light or sensors go off. It just shuts off and it is extremely dangerous. I’ve taken it to a Hyundai dealership on three different occasions. The first time they claimed it was due to carbon build up in the throttle body. So they cleaned it out and said it should be fine. I took it back two times after that for the same issue and was told because they can’t duplicate the problem there is nothing they can do. I have almost been in 3 accidents because of this. I have also discovered this is 1 of the too 3 problems that have been reported by hyundai veloster owners. Most people have been given no solution! That is totally unacceptable as this issue is to hazardous to ignore.

The power steering coupler, a star shaped part in the steering wheel has deteriorated causing a discernible click in the steering. At times this made steering difficult. The EXACT same part has been given extended warranty status on other Hyundai models but not the Veloster. I had to pay to have this obvious safety defect repaired today.

Air conditioning connecter/wire I burnt/burning making me feel uneasy and have a fear of vehicle catching on fire There were no warning lights or messages that notified. Found out by smell of burning plastic Hyundai dealership inspected but did not think it was a huge issue and notified me to just keep caution of burning smell (?)

Steering Coupling defect. Banging and clicking when using steering wheel. The Elantra and sonata coupling was recalled but Hyundai refuses to acknowledge that the same safety issues exists with the Veloster.

Steering coupler failure. Excessive play and loud clunking in steering column. Symptoms have increased over time. Vehicle has 64950 miles.

The plating on the wheels is coming off causing a safty hazzard.The dealer will not do anything about it.Wheel could break apart causing a accident.Wheels are available for inspection upon request.

Daughter almost was hit because car slipped out of drive while she was on the highway. Car is giving codes for crankshaft position sensor. I looked on YouTube and this problem seems very common. Why is car not going into gear because of these codes? Very dangerous.

The electrical system was faulty since day one. When a turn signal is on and you turn the steering wheel that direction the light will turn off. This is SO DANGEROUS. The speed is also very iffy every time you break

I had a recall done on my car, and driving 10 mins from the shop it lost power. I called the shop they had me pull over and try shutting off the car and starting it back up which didn't work so i was told to drive back if i can make it , it took 25 mins with the throttle going up and down. They had it for about a hour or two and said it was the oil being low 2 qts. But, they put 3qts in, they got it working and 2 weeks later it did the same thing, I called and took it back they said it was the spark plugs and I had to pay for that. I explain to them I had no problems until the recall was done and they say the recall was good. So now we 2 months out and the thing which the recall was for is completely broken (Throttle /ECM). I was on Christmas vacation when it went into protection mode and I couldn't drive it. It showed no codes until I had mechanic come change out the throttle Body but it still doesn't work because these codes P0222 and P0123, which is the throttle position pedal. I had to tow the car back because that's not a regular carried part for auto parts stores. What's the next steps on getting this fixed because Hyundai refuse to fix it.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while his granddaughter was driving 65 MPH, an abnormal booming sound emitted from the vehicle as the vehicle shutoff without warning. Due to the failure, his granddaughter had the vehicle towed to his home where he discovered that the compression rod bearing had blown threw the engine block. The contact stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My AC/Heating unit has stopped functioning. Upon researching online, this appears to be a common problem in these vehicles. After opening the section of the vehicle that contains the faulty part, melting/burn marks are observed. This appears to be a fire hazard.

While driving on the highway today, my sunroof shattered, spreading glass everywhere. Had the cloth lining not been over the sunroof, the glass would have rained onto the driver while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle and part have not yet been inspected and no warning lamps were present.

The contact owned a 2012 Hyundai Veloster equipt with Lexani LXUHP207 tires size 215/40/18. The contact stated that after purchasing the new tires the daughter was driving approximately 65 mph when the rear passenger side tire experienced sidewall separation causing the daughter to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a guard rail. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. No injuries were reported. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the incident. The VIN was not available.

Engine knocking around 75k miles. Oil changed every 2000 miles. Proper maintenance. Loud knocking noise.

Started with knocking and ticking noise then failure to accelerate. Engine failed due to unknown reasons. Have been confirmed by car mechanic licensed and insured

First Crankshaft position sensor was bad now Camshaft position sensor bad.

Car was taken to the dealership for two active recalls. The dealership began with 966 Engine Monitoring Logic Recall. An error code was received after the computer was updated during the Recall. The display panel now displays all gears as E, and now when the dealership drives it the car has a stall. The dealership states the transmission must be replaced. From my understanding it all is related to software. It is still with the dealership, Hyundai is refusing to cover this since the car is out of warranty. This defect is directly from the recall.

. WHEN I BOUGHT IT IT HAD 98,000 KM ON IT. STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD ALL THE RECALLS FROM A FEW YEARS AGO DONE TO BRING IT ALL UP TO DATE. I RELIGIOUSLY CHANGED THE OIL, ROTATED TIRES, FLUIDS UPDATED, NEW BATTERY, ETC. IN 6 YEARS I HAVE PUT 8000KM ON THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MY DAUGHTERS A FEW WEEKS AGO IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF FOURTH GEAR? THIS HAPPENED THE ONE TIME AND NO LIGHTS CAME ON? THEN LAST THURSDAY I WENT TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE TO HELP OUT WITH THE UNPACKING AND ON THE DRIVE HOME MY CAR GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR! I COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF THIRD GEAR UNTIL I ONCE POPPED THE CLUTCH AND OUT IT CAME. SHIFTING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, FOR A WHILE THEN I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO INTO ANY GEAR! I AM ON MY WAY HOME IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR BUT SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR? BY REVING UP THE ENGINE TO ABOUT 4000 AND LETTING THE CLUTCH OUT SLOWLY WHILE REVING IT WOULD SLOWLY START GOING AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD BE GOING OK STUCK IN WHATEVER GEAR BUT THERE WERE TRAFFIC LIGHTS!! I HAD TO PULL OVER ONCE AND HAD THE POLICE PULL IN BEHIND ME. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO HER WHAT WAS HAPPENING SHE SAID SHE UNDERSTOOD HER BROTHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM? I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT HOME IN THE SCARIEST RIDE EVER (THROUGH 2 RED LIGHTS AND A STOP SIGN) AND IT WAS SMOKING AND STINKING! NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH INSURANCE ($1200 YR.) ON IT AND 1.5 YEARS LEFT ON THE LOAN ($288.00) A MONTH. 50% OF MY INCOME GOES TO RENT. I LIVE CHEQUE TO CHEQUE

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BLINKING. CAR IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD . 108,000 MILES. I PUT 8,000 ON IT. CAR LIGHTS GO OUT AFTER REPLACING , STEERING COLUMN, ELECTRICAL ISSUES , OIL IN SPARK PLUGS , FUEL LINE SEEMS CLOGGED , EMERGENCY BRAKE DOESN'T HOLD EVERY TIME, ECT TAKING TO HYUNDAI IN THE MORNING. DANGEROUS.

HYUNDAI/NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR 2015-2016 VELOSTER 1.6 ENGINES FOR CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURES, AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING AND KNOWN FOR YEARS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO 2011-2018 1.6L GDI MOTORS USED IN HYUNDAI AND KIA VEHICLES, WHICH ALL HAVE ISSUES WITH ROD BEARING FAILURES. THE ROD BEARING IS GOING OUT ON MY VELOSTER THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR RECALL FOR THE MOTOR IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE GOING ON ON ALL MODEL YEARS. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE RUNNING ENGINE WITH THE ROD BEARING NOISE BUT IT EXCEEDS THE FILE LIMIT SIZE. THE LINK IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I UPLOADED. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=P0MPHRSOGH8&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE&AB_CHANNEL=BRIANBUNDRIDGE

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE MADE CLICKING NOISES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST DIED. ALSO, WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE. I WAS ADVISED BY A MECHANIC THAT THE ROD BEARINGS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ROD BEARINGS BUT ONLY FOR 2015 AND 2016.

I HEARD SOMETHING DROP AND THEN THE CAR STARTED SMOKING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD, BUT SAW FLAMES. THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A COUPLE YEARS AGO I HAD TO GET AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT DUE TO OIL OVER CONSUMPTION. THE SAME ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HELPFUL WITH GETTING THE SITUATION FIGURED OUT.

THE STEERING WHEEL COUPLER HAS WORN DOWN.

TRUNK DOOR WON'T STAY UP. HEAD AND NECK HIT BY DOOR A COUPLE TIMES WHEN GETTING GROCERIES FROM THE TRUNK. CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING/DRIVING.

THE ENGINE FAILED DOES NOT START AND THERE IS A LOT OF SMOKE

MY 2012 HYUNDAY VELOSTER KEEPS SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AND START RIGHT BACK AFTER 2 MINURES IT IS VERY UNSAFE .

I HAD A KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE BEFORE MY CONNECTING ROD BEAR HAD PUNCTURED 3 LARGE HOLES IN MY ENGINE BLOCK. I HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE NEVER EVEN HIT 120,000 MILES. A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAD BEEN REPORTED ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING RECALLED.

THE STEERING OF THE VELOSTER IS SHAKEY AND THE EPS BECOMES TIGHT TO CONTROL WHILE OPPERTATING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHANGING LANES AND THE SLIGHT TURN OF A CURVE, CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RESIST THE ACTION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO MAKES A CLUNKY NOISE WHILE TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT IN OPERATION AT ANY SPEED IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO OPERATE WHILE PASSING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, TAKING CURVES AND EXITS OFF THE HIGHWAY. PRESENTED THE ISSUE TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE COUPLER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THE PART IS MINIMAL BUT THE LABOR WAS EXPENSIVE. RESERACH SHOWS THE COUPLER OF THE SAME YEAR AS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES HOWEVER THE VELOSTER HAS YET TO BE RECALLED.

CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED. DROVE HOME COULD NOT GET TRUNK/TAIL GATE OPEN. KEY FLOB DID NOT WORK ON TRUNK BUT DID WORK ON ALL SIDE CAR DOORS. I HAD TO CLIMB INTO TRUNK THRU BACK SEAT TO GET GROCERIES OUT OF CAR TRUNK. I AM VERY CLOSE TO BEING 72 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS A COMPLETE STRUGGLE GETTING IN AND OUT OF TRUNK THRU BACK SEAT ESPECIALLY ON SLANTED DRIVEWAY.

THIS CARS ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT'S IN DRIVE ETC. MY HUSBAND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR FLAT DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WENT FORWARD CRUSHING HIM AGAINST THE HOUSE. I PULLED THE CAR BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IT SAID IT WAS IN PARK TO FREE HIM. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. WILL BE CONTACTED A LAWYER BECAUSE THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO FROM MY RING DOORBELL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHERE IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ON 3XS BEFORE IT WILL GO INTO GEAR. HYUNDAI DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

IT STARTED WITH MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THEN I NOTICED WHEN AT A STOP IT FELT LIKE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THEN WHEN IT WAS DARK MY NEIGHBOR NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I RESEARCHED THESE THREE PROBLEMS THAT APPEARED WITHIN THE SAME DAY, AND FOUND THAT THE "BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH" IS CAUSING ALL THREE ISSUES. ALSO, GOINGS RECALLS FOR OTHER MODELS OF HYUNDAI FOR THIS PART BUT APPARENTLY NOT MINE.

OIL LEAK FROM FAULTY REAR MAIN SEAL

I WAS LOSING OIL WITHOUT AN OBVIOUS OIL LEAK. THE PSI IN THE 3RD CYLINDER WAS 90 AND WHEN SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED THE NEW ONES WERE COVERED IN OIL. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED HYUNDAI MECHANIC AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT AND SUBMIT A REPAIR ASSISTANCE REQUEST AS I WAS THE SECOND OWNER AND THE CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD WITH 80,000 MILES. IT COST $700 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. HYUNDAI DENIED THE REPAIR ASSISTANCE REQUEST AND I HAD TO PAY $700 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. NEITHER THE REPAIR SHOP OR HYUNDAI THOUGHT TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE DOING SO WOULD HAVE LIKELY MADE HYUNDAI RESPONSIBLE LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER ENGINE RECALLS THEY ARE DEALING WITH. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MYSELF.

I WAS OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BOOM. THE SUNROOF IN MY CAR EXPLODED RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. THE CAR WAS NOT ON. IT HAD BEEN HOURS SINCE I'D DRIVEN I,T THANKFULLY. WHEN THE GLASS EXPLODED I COULD SEE CHUNKS AND PARTICLES OF GLASS FLYING AT ME. IT WAS HORRIFYING TO THINK, THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

STEERING WHEEL COUPLER DISINTEGRATION, THE SAME AS ELANTRA MODELS. CLICKING AND LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS PRESENT STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE HAS 55,000 MILES.

WAS DRIVING VELOSTER ON HIGHWAY WITH 2 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN BACKSEAT WHEN SPEEDOMETER WENT IT ZERO THAN TRANSMISSION WENT TO LIMP MODE WAS REALLY SCARED BECAUSE A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WAS BEHIND AT THE TIME I CALL THE HYUNDAI COMPANY TO COMPLAIN NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

BLOWER SWITCH AND WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SWITCH IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE CURRENT RESULTING IN MELTING OF THE SWITCH AND HARNESS. *TR

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH AC FUNCTION BEFORE STOPPING ALTOGETHER ALONG WITH THE AC CONTROL KNOB MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL AND INVESTIGATED BEHIND THE REMOVABLE CENTER PANEL OF THE DASH AND DISCOVERED THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE CONTROL KNOB HAD EXPERIENCED MELTING ENOUGH TO DEFORM AND CHAR THE WIRING HARNESS END ALONG WITH THE BACKSIDE OF THE AC CONTROL KNOB. NO SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE AND A GOOGLE SEARCH NOT ONLY WILL SHOW MANY OTHERS WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT ANY PHOTOS APPEAR TO MIRROR THE DAMAGE MINE RECEIVED. HYUNDAI OF AMERICA REACHED OUT AND STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO LOOK INTO OR COVER THE DAMAGE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE NOT ONLY BURNED MY CAR DOWN BUT ALSO POSE A RISK FOR LIFE AND PROPERTY AROUND ME. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT A FAULT THAT SEEMINGLY IS GOING UNADDRESSED. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE MAKING KNOCKING SOUND WHILE IDLE AND WHILE IN GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. LOW OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. OIL WAS LOW, SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DUE TO JUST HAVING OIL CHANGE, BUT NO LEAK UNDER CAR.

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.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS. AFTER THOROUGH RESEARCH, OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND IS UNDER RECALL. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT. I PROCEEDED TO GO GET DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHICH CONFIRMED THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS THE SAME AS OTHER VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE NOTICE FIRST APPEARED.

ON FRIDAY, 1/31/19, MY SON AS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WENT ON. HE TOOK THE CAR (MY12 HYUNDAI VELOSTER) TO PEP BOYS FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SAT. 2/1/20, AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND ADVISED THE OIL SEEMED TO BE BURNING FASTER THAN NORMAL, BUT DID AN OIL CHANGE. THEY ADVISED IF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, TO TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI. THEY ALSO ADVISED WE WOULD NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES APPROX. EVERY 3K MILES, RATHER THAN 5-7K MILES. NO CONCERN WAS COMMUNICATED TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY, SUNDAY, 2/2/20, HE WAS ENTERING THE 605 FWY (SOUTH) AT FIRESTONE BLVD IN NORWALK, CA AND HE HEARD A RATTLING IN THE ENGINE, THEN SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE PULLED THE CAR OVER ON THE SHOULDER, THEN SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND CALLED 911. THE CAR BECAME ENGULFED IN BLAMES AND WAS TOTALED. THE FIRE DEPT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CHP OFFICER POINTED OUT THE TRAIL OF OIL ON THE SHOULDER WHERE MY SON HAD DRIVEN AND PULLED OVER. UPON DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AFTER THE FIRE, WE SAW THAT MY13 HYUNDAI VELOSTERS HAD A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FIRES. WE HAVE HAD ALL REGULAR SERVICE DONE ON THE CAR AT PEP BOYS AND HAD NOT HAD ANY PRIOR ENGINE ISSUES.

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.

ENGINE IS MAKING A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THE CAR HAS ALREADY BROKEN DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME WHEN I GOT TO THE REPAIR FACILITY THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS THE KNOCKING NOISE IS EVEN LOUDER NOW

MY STEERING WHEEL HAS A THUD TO IT WHEN I TURN LEFT AND RIGHT, STEERING IS GETTING HARD TO CONTROL AS WELL. I SEEN A LOT OF HYUNDAI HAS HAD A STEERING COUPLING RECALL BUT NOT THE VELOSTER.THIS PROBLEM MY WELL EXIST IN THE VELOSTER

LEFT REAR DISK BRAKE CALIPER PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM STUCK IN ACTUATED POSITION WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. SAME PROBLEM AS EXISTING RECALL, FITS DATE WINDOW, BUT HYUNDAI DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN IN THE RECALL. DISCOVERED PROBLEM ON 17DEC2019.

THE REAR DOOR (THERE'S ONLY ONE) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NO LONGER OPEN EITHER FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE VELOSTER ONLINE FORUM. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN IT WHEN A PASSENGER WAS GOING TO SIT THERE. THEY HAD TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF THE REAR HATCH. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN AN EMERGENCY.

THE VELOSTER IS A 2012 WITH ONLY 19K MILES. RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT AND THERE IS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HYUNDAI STATES THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF SOURCES ONLINE SAY THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAILED STEERING COUPLER (A K A.STEERING DAMPENER) AND THIS CAN CAUSE THE WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED THIS ISSUE ON THE SONATA AND THE ELANTRA BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING FOR VELOSTER OWNERS. THE PART CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE FROM THE OEM FOR ROUGHLY $6 BUT THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IS ASKING $400 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. FORUMS ON LINE WILL SHOW A GREAT NUMBER OF VELOSTER OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TRULY FEEL AS THOUGH HYUNDAI HAS ADMITTED FAULT AND A SAFETY CONCERN BY RECALLING OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE EXACT ISSUE BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE VELOSTER. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A HYUNDAI USA REPRESENTATIVE THIS AFTERNOON WHO SAYS THAT IT'S UP TO THE DEALER TO DECIDE IF IT'S COVERED UNDER THEIR STANDARD WARRANTY OR NOT AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF I WANTED THIS FIXED. AS HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT IT GOES TO SHOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY VELOSTER OWNER DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AT THE EXPENSE OF HYUNDAI.

STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY IN IT AND MAKES A NOISE THUD LIKE NOISE WHEN U TURN IT U CANT CONTROL THE CAR ITS THE STEERING COUPLING SAME AS THE SONATA AND ELANTRA THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE VELOSTER BUT ITS THE SAME PART IT JUST HAPPENED NO WARNING AT ALL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ITS THE SAME PART AND PROBLEM BUT HYUNDAI HASNT RECALLED AND NEEDS TO THIS CAR COMPANY IGNORES THE FACT THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART. IT JUST DESINERGRATES SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT THERE IS NO WARNING AT ALL IT JUST HAPPENS U CAN JUST SIT THERE AND TURN WHEEL JUST A LIL AND U CAN HEAR IT AND FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO CONTROL IN THE STEERING WHEEL
