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

The car lost power gradually ;when I was driving ; We were on the freeway and I couldn’t continue driving 60 miles per hour , therefore I turned on the turn signals cause I just could drive at 35 miles per hour and the car just start shaking ; I just look for the next exit by the time We were on risk on the emergency lane for along time cause the next exit was to far from there .and the car was too slow ,when we finally got exit I call and I stop my car and call the mechanic to ask for help and he help me plug in the scanner machine to my car and there was a problem with some cylinders and one valve and I decided to called to the dealer to get an appointment:. 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 contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop light, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that no failures were found after the vehicle was inspected. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

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.

I was driving and then all the sudden my APS light came on and my battery light next, I was driving and my car stopped moving in the middle of the road.

The climate control switch on my vehicle as well as many others has burned up the wiring that plugs into it behind the dash and started smoking and actually almost burned my car to the ground.

The sunroof spontaneously shattered. I was driving on an interstate highway with the sunroof tilted forward for ventilation.

My ac unit switch melted due to the wires getting too hot and causing the unit to no longer work. I believe this is a safety issue due to possible fire with the wires getting burned. After doing some research this is a common issue in my car and I believe hyundai should be required to replace my unit before it causes more damage inside the unit.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MHP, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine compartment before the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 94,000.

UNKNOWN At least four occasions, my Veloster stalled at an intersection within a two month time period. On at least two unique occasions, the vehicle stalled out in the middle of oncoming traffic at night. A check engine light appeared after the vehicle stalled out. The dealership has inspected and reportedly performed work to resolve the engine issue; however, after bring the vehicle for servicing, the engine issue persisted. Hyundai service manager advise me to bring in the vehicle four times; however, the engine light continues to appear after reported work has been performed. Note: Regular maintenance has been performed on the vehicle.

On March 8, 2023, I was waiting at a red light and since the weather was really nice, it was cloudy and not too cold I decided to open my sunroof and when all of the sudden I felt glass raining all over me, my sunroof exploded! I got little cuts over my face and arms because of the glass, and my back and arms felt itchy because of the tiny little pieces of glass. I was on my way to pick up the girls from daycare, I'm so grateful they were not with me at the incident moment and that the car was not on motion. Now, they are charging me over $1000 dlls on repairs. I just got this car less than 2 months ago, I barely pay my first payment and this happens!?

When driving my vehicle on the highway, I took an off ramp and came to a complete stop at a stop light. When coming to the stop my car completely shut off. It would not turn over or anything. I popped the hood and didn't see any sign of oil or fluid leaks from the engine bay or underneath the vehicle. After getting it towed to the nearest mechanic they checked for codes and nothing popped up. They checked my oil (which I change my fluids regularly and have documents to prove so) and found there was only half of a quart of oil in my engine. They drained it and in the sample they found metallic particles in the oil. Now my engine is knocking anytime I press on the gas. Looking over the type of engine I have (Gamma GDI) there was an issued recall on that specific type of engine for the exact same problem I have across Hyundai and Kia vehicles sharing the same type of engine. I contacted Hyundai but they refuse to work on my vehicle since my VIN doesn't pop up for the recall even though all the supporting documents and diagnosis I have show, that the engine problem I have are the exact same as the recall shows. I even gave Hyundai their own Technical Service Bulletin that was on their website showing my year make and model should be worked on. Now Hyundai keeps telling me its a warranty issue, not a recall issue ignoring everything I've given them to support my claim even after stating how they had a class action lawsuit they LOST in California for this same issue of the engine m

Driving on cruise control on interstate , the 2014 Hyundai Veloster felt like it lost power .The engine light flashed a few times . White smoke came out of rear as started to merge it made a low clank noise from the engine compartment . Pulled over off of interstate and popped hood to check the engine and realized there was fire coming from all over the engine . 2014 Hyundai Veloster financed not even made the first payment either. Had 120,043 miles on it . Dealership claimed that they did a recon on it before they turned it over to us . We did take it back in because the engine turned off as he was idling at stop lights. It was harder and harder to get started , it got to the point where it would stop running while moving . The dealership could not Replicate the problem and therefore turned it back over to us . Codes P0302 and P0335 came on . There were no recalls on the 2014 models but the year before and after . Doesn’t make sense , since they all had engine problems , catching on fire .

While driving down I95 south at 10:30 at night my car made a noise like I ran over a cardboard box. Then smoke started to come out of the hood. I I went to the emergency lane hoping it was a flat tire. There was oil all over the ground and car. No warning lights or car acting funny. Cruise was set and driving home with my mom. Took car to dealership and verified the block had cracked. I asked why, the car only had 65800 miles on it. They said my last oil change looked good, they have no idea. Not covered under warranty. Only 2015 and 2016 are covered for motor failure. Mine is a 2014 I checked the recalls. They charged me $9100 to replace the motor. When I picked up the car I asked again why it cracked. They said sometimes they just don't know why. My mom and I were stranded on the freeway for over two hours waiting for a tow truck and it decide to rain on us 3 times.

I purchased my 2014 Hyundai Veloster as a CPO back in January of 2018 with approximately 37k miles. Currently it has 95,637 miles. Within the first couple months of ownership, I noticed that the vehicle was sporadically acting up during acceleration (specifically when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear). During this process it acts as if all of its power is shut off momentarily and then comes back on, which can potentially be dangerous when accelerating into high traffic areas, or busy intersections because not only does it lose acceleration power but steering as well. I brought it to the dealership right away, but because it never throws any trouble codes, nor does it happen on command - they cannot pin point the issue. Initially they changed the alternator. The second time, I believe, they changed the knock sensor or the Camshaft position sensor. In short, I’ve brought it to the dealership several times and have filed numerous complaints to Hyundai Consumer Affairs, but to no avail. Most recently (March 2022), it happened when both of my stepchildren were in the car while we were returning from the beach. I accelerated from a traffic light and was going around a bend when it happened causing me to slam into the curb and caused nearly $1700 in damage, which I had to pay for out of pocket because at this point it is out of Warranty- even though it’s been an ongoing issue pre-warranty lapse. Then to top it all off, I was leaving work this evening to go to an appointment and all

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at night the headlights were extremely dim causing the driver’s visibility to be reduced. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated her husband replaced the light bulbs but continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the headlights to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Vehicle was in 5th gear when massive decelleration occured (55 mph to 20 mph).Engine started to stall out. Downshifted to 4th, 3rd, etc. Was able to pull over to breakdown lane. No warning lights in the months prior. Car seviced regularly. Had just passed state inspection two months prior (no codes in log), Hyundai dealer had addressed Campaign 966 a month prior (no codes in log), and then catastrophic failure of catalytic converter. Vehicle required tow to mechanic who stated "I've never seen anything like it. The cat was completely slagged out, like it must have been cherry red hot. Thank god it was freezing last night or the car could have caught fire." No CEL warnings at all on that night or any time prior. Believe this is directly tied to CAMP 966 ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, he heard an abnormal knocking noise emitting from the engine. He then stated that a large amount of white smoke began to spew from the vehicle as his engine began to stall. As the contact was able to pull the vehicle over; the engine failed to restart after multiple attempts. Upon inspection, the contact also discovered a long trail of oil had leaked from his vehicle; he also discovered that oil had spewed all over the engine underneath the hood. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they discovered a large piece of metal had blown through the engine block, which resulted in engine failure. The contact informed the dealer of the failure and his wife was informed that they had to order a new engine from the manufacturer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The contact's son owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact's son received notification of Manufacturer Service Campaign: 966 (Engine Monitoring Logic). The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made abnormal sounds and hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer performed the Engine Monitoring Logic software update and diagnosed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

Since Nov/Dec 2020 low oil warning lite started flashing at 2 separate svc intervals for oil change maintenance. At service visit in Jan 2021 requested dealer to inspect for oil leaks. None were found but since then I began checking oil level regulary & found out the car was consuming excessive amount of oil…about half a qt every 250-300 miles. At next service appt to have oil change I informed dealer of my findings which he advised performing the 1000 mile consumption test & wait till after to change oil. He advised if vehicle fails consumption test Hyundai’s guidelines suggest a Combustion Chamber Cleaning (at a cost of over $400)! My complaint is if the cleaning is part of Hyundai’s Repair Guidelines & there’s no other alternative to this step, (as referenced in TSB# 21-EM-003H) why does the customer have to pay the $400+ to have it done if the customer’s vehicle has less than 100000 miles so it should still be covered under the 10 year/100000 mile powertrain warranty.
