OFFICIAL REPORT: FRANCHISE FALSIFICATION OF MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL REMEDY I am filing this formal safety complaint because a licensed factory franchise, Causeway Hyundai (Manahawkin, NJ), officially documented and signed off that a mandatory federal safety campaign (NHTSA Recall 21V303 / Hyundai Recall 251: ABS Multi-Fuse Block Replacement) was successfully completed on my vehicle.This official safety record is completely falsified. The service department closed out the repair order and logged it into the manufacturer network as a finished repair. However, I have opened the under-hood engine junction box and taken photographic evidence proving that no physical labor was performed. The original, 12-year-old factory multi-fuse block assembly (Part #91ZZ9-42705 / F18 150A) is still physically inside my engine bay, completely covered in thick, undisturbed road dust and grime.The dealership returned my vehicle to me with a falsified "all clear" safety invoice while leaving a known, severe electrical fire hazard completely active inside my vehicle's engine compartment. I request that federal regulators audit this franchise location for fraudulent safety recall logging and systemic non-compliance with NHTSA safety remedy mandates.

The HVAC manual heater control unit in my 2014 Veloster Turbo failed, causing extreme electrical resistance that melted, blackened, and discolored the factory wiring harness connector plug behind the dashboard. This caused an active thermal incident and a direct fire hazard inside the cabin. Hyundai is aware of this exact safety defect and is running Service Campaign TY6 (TSB 16-01-070) to fix it, but they are using narrow VIN filtering to deny coverage to identical vehicle configurations. I had to pay out of pocket for a genuine Hyundai replacement part to mitigate this fire risk. Hyundai Corporate (National Case #42974992) has formally denied my reimbursement claim on a technicality, actively ignoring the physical thermal damage and fire risk to my vehicle.

My driver airbags have been deactivated for quite some time. My radio touchscreen doesn't work, and the electrical issue has drifted all the way into my steering wheel where I can't control any type of cruise control properly.

The second cylinder is not firing. The car stalled when on highway.

Knock sensor code p1326

The connector that connects to the air conditioning temperature knob melted this is the second time in the 4 years I have owned the vehicle

My Vehicule already was checking for Hyundai but they just text me a message ; they said my car needs to replace a motor ,turbo ; some broken valves causing zero pounds of compression on cylinder 4-long block repair-new intake and exhaust manifolds (including turbo)required due to broken valve sending metal through the entire system -quote long block/intake and exhaust manifolds /turbo /all necessary gaskets and fluids for repair : I just was noted my car was consuming too much oil, cause the car board showed me 3 weeks ago and I need to add oil ,and the mechanic plugged in the scanner; but it doesn’t showed something else ;therefore 3 weeks ago I added 1/4 or more ; then was 2 week ago; I added 1/4 of oil again and then just last week I added 1/4 or more oil again ;I just was checking the oil constantly.; and it should

I have not "yet" had an incident but, because of the safety recall, I have been parking my vehicle outside for almost a year (since October 2023). It is now August 2024 and a part for my Hyundai Veloster 2014 is still not available. For an issue that may cause a fire, or indeed any recall issue, this is way too long for a remedy to become available! This has caused considerable inconvenience: scraping frost and cleaning off snow, constant dirt, and inability to park in parking garages. Additionally, the additional wear will reduce the value of the car when I sell it.

The Hyundai recall doesn't fix the problem, which is the ABS Module leaks brake fluid internally which can catch fire. The claimed "fix" puts in a low current fuse that supposedly electrically will lower the risk of a fire when the ABS leaks brake fluid internally and shorts out the electrical power to the ABS Module. The problem is that the ABS Module can develop an internal leak which causes a short that fries the ABS Module and can cause a fire by igniting the brake fluid. The lower current rated fuse can still cause a fire, so I don't see the NHTSA Recall No. 23V651000 as a real fix. I want a replacement of the brake fluid leak-prone ABS Module in my 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo so I can safely use and park my car indoors without the potential of a fire while parked or driving. I have not experienced a fire in the recalled vehicle, but I think I am entitled to a proper "fix". I am an electrical engineer with an MSEE degree and many US patents. I have been greatly inconvenienced by following the recall warning to "park the vehicle outside (outdoors) away from structures". The outside exposure to hot temperatures, harsh sunshine, and salt air degrades the finish and mechanicals of my vehicle by following the recall warning. So Hyundai's faulty ABS Module costs me money (value of the vehicle) besides the risk and inconvenience. Make Hyundai really fix the problem by replacing the ABS Module as a minimum.

Engine started knocking at 117,xxx miles with oil changes less then 5,000 miles. Dealership acknowledged and confirmed that the rod bearings were bad. If requested could remove the rod bearings. Dealership and corporate Hyundai acknowledged the problem, but would not help cover any of the costs. The vehicle was also losing around 1 quart for every 1,000 miles which was not addressed by the dealer. This is a huge safety risk, if the bearing completely failed the vehicle would have stalled on the interstate. No check engine light is present or was present. The issues with the Veloster Turbo is well know and document from 2012-2017 regarding the failure of rod bearings prematurely. Other Kia and Hyundai vehicles have recalls for this same problem, unfortunately the Veloster does not.

Hyundai recall [XXX], since there is no remedy available, how will Hyundai compensate me? I purchased my 2014 Veloster Turbo Jan 20[15 for $23,500, dealer tells me its safe to drive, however recall tells me not to park it in my garage as it can cause a fire. If it can start a fire when it is parked, what can it do when I am driving it? [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There is a current recall since September, 2023, with no remedy to date. In addition, I have driven this vehicle very little after last having my car serviced at the dealership, just over a year now, which seemed to not be sounding right in the engine, so it alarmed me, and all started feeling overwhelming since going to the dealership for repairs. I see there is an engine recall on the 2015 Veloster, though not the 2014? Yet they are claiming that both issues can cause fires. My vehicle has less than 100K miles if I remember correct from when I last looked. it's been months since I've even driven the vehicle, as I've not felt safe or comfortable doing so. My vehicle seems to have a lot of the same symptoms as the 2015 Veloster recall. i have been nervous to take it back to the same dealer, though I've also been too nervous to let just any mechanic look at it. When the dealer last changed my oil, a bunch leaked out in my driveway, and I was told there's a safety overflow. In addition, my oil light came on, and I was simply told they forgot to reset it.

The Rods are going bad , and Hyundai doesn’t want to admit that they did a horrible job with the engine and they don’t want to replace the engine , unless the car is a 2013 or 2016 which is ridiculous. They don’t want to honor their word.
