2016 Hyundai Veloster complaints

MY CAR HESITATED FROM A STOP SIGN, THEN LAUNCHED FORWARD CAUSING IT TO UNCONTROLLABLY JUMP FORWARD VERY FAST. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES THEY FAILED TO ACTIVE, AND HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE. THE CAR HAS HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TCM ON MY DCT TRANSMISSION BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

LEAKING!! VERY DANGEROUSLY

MY CAR IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION AND BRAKES & SUSPENSION. SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP IF I DON'T PRESS THE GAS IS REALLY NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE NOBODY LIKE TO DRIVE MY CAR THEY SAID THE SUSPENSION IS HORRIBLE AND NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE ON TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V746000 (ENGINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEMECULA HYUNDAI (27430 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951)699-6807) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,500. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR MAKING A LOT OF SOUND WHEN TURNING OFF AND ON IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE ALSO STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WAS TOLD THERE'S A RECALL BUT STILL NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT SCARED TK DRIVE MY OWN CAR THAT I PAY FOR.

PLEASE REFER TO RECALL NUMBER 198 FOR A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER, I AM UNABLE TO SELL MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL.

IT'S MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, IT THE SOUND IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I GOT MY CAR IN A DEALERSHIP 1MONTH AGO AND IT HAS 34,516 MILES

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN HIGHWAY 195 IN TEXAS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO EUROPE SERVICES IN KILLEEN, TX AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN OUT. WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND A NEW ENGINE ANYWHERE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAD A RECALL WITH PREMATURE ENGINE ISSUES.

IS BURNING TO MUCH OIL AND MOSTLY TIMES SMOKE MY CAR JUST HAVE 110,543 MILES...

ENGINE STALLS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND TURNED OUT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS YET

ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE REVERSE NO LONGER WORKED. PUSHED VEHICLE OUT OF PARKING AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD TO GET CAR HOME. WHEN IN DRIVE IT IS JERKY AS GEARS SHIFTS. IT IS TO SLOW TO SHIFT, SLOW TO ENGAGE GEARS, ONCE SHIFT IS COMPLETE HESITATES LOW TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD THEN JERKS FORWARD VERY AGGRESSIVELY.

TL* THE CONTACT 'S SON OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED ON 06/02/20. A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (MAUS NISSAN OF CRYSTAL RIVER 937 S SUNCOAST BLVD, HOMOSASSA, FL 34448 (352) 592-6287). THEY FOUND THREE CODES THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE FUEL INJECTOR, AND THE COILS . THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND THE CONTACT'S SON ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE VEHICLE ON HIS OWN. HE APPLIED A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER CLEANER AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN ON 09/03/20 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE WHILE TRAVELLING AT 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND THE SON OPENED THE HOOD . SMOKE CAME OUT AND THEN FLAMES BURST FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS SOON ENGULFED AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED DOWN. THE FLAMES WERE PUT OUT BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES THAT REQUIRED TRANSPORT BY AN AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE WRECKAGE WAS TOWED AWAY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THE METAL COMPONENTS OF THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER BLOWER SWITCH MELTS ON THE INSIDE CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.

AIR BAG SENSOR IN CUSHION ON PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. VEHICLE IS EITHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. LIGHT COMES ON FOR A WEEK AND THEN GOES AWAY FOR MONTHS AND COMES BACK AGAIN. MILEAGE SINCE I NOTICE IT WAS 48000. HYUNDAI SAID THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS MAKES NO SENSE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SEATS IN MY CAR HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED OR REPLACED THEY HAVE THE SAME SEATS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. SO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY. NOTICED IN THE COMPLAINTS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUES SEEMS LIKE IT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND UPON STEPPING ON THE GAS, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND SIMILAR TO IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I CANNOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY POWER WHEN SHIFTING INTO SPORT MODE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. IT MAKES AN ODD NOISE. I FELT CAR HICCUP AT FIRST WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS COULD BE A DCT ISSUE AND COULD BE SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. CAR IS AT APPROX 77,000 MILES AT THIS TIME. SIMILAR ACCELERATION ISSUES REPORTED WITH THIS VEHICLE BY MYSELF PRIOR ALTHOUGH NOT THIS SEVERE AND SPORT MODE WAS WORKING FINE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES TO BOTTOM AND DOES NOT STOP THE CAR WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE HAD 4 HVAC CONTROL HEADS BURN OUT BETWEEN A 2012 VELOSTER AND MY CURRENT 2016 VELOSTER I PURCHASED AFTER THE 2012 WAS TOTALLED. THE PART IS BURNING OUT BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS AND IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT CAUSES EVEN GREATER DAMAGE AND RISK OF INJURY IN THE FUTURE IF NOT ADDRESSED.

WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE RPMS GO UP . HAD THIS ISSUE AROUND 9K MILES 16K MILES AND AT 21K MILES CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR REVERSE TO WORK AGAIN. DURING FIRST STARTUP OF CAR IN GARAGE , ONCE TRYING TO REVERSE OUT OF PARKING LOT DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE BUT HAVE 2 DIFFERENT VIDEOS OF TIMES IT DID THIS.

ON 1/12/2020, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WITHIN A MINUTE FIRE ERUPTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THEY DETERMINED ONSITE THAT THE FIRE WAS DUE TO A FUEL LEAK. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THIS ON 10/3/2019 I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GAS. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY GAS LEAK. WE HAVE CONTACTED THEM SINCE THE FIRE AND THEY ARE DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER VEHICLE FIRES REPORTED ON HYUNDAIS.

VELOSTER HYUNDAI'S 7-SPEED DCT CONTAINS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) THAT CAUSES, AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, FAILURE TO SHIFT, STALLING, DELAYED ACCELERATION, OR LOSS OF POWER. 'THESE CONDITIONS ARE HAZARDOUS BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND PREVENT DRIVERS FROM ACCELERATING TO MAINTAIN SAFE SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC,'

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HEATER INSTANTLY OVERHEATED WITHIN SECONDS AFTER TURNING IT ON. *BF*JB

FRONT PASSENGER EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS INOPERATIVE, DOOR MUST BE OPENED USING INTERIOR HANDLE, REGARDLESS OF LOCK STATUS.

I WAS SITTING IN A LINE OF CARS TO GET ON THE FREEWAY I MERGE INTO TRAFFIC TO HAVE THE CAR STUMBLE AND JUMP AND WONT GO, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO TAKE OFF LIKE A ROCKET AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2016 AND HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT, I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER, THEY HAD A RECALL AND FIXED IT FOR A WHILE, THEN THIS SAME THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON A DAILY BASIS, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE CAR IS OR ISNT GOING TO DO, WILL IT GO WHEN I NEED IT TO ? OR STALL THATS THE HUGE QUESTION, I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THEY ALL DRIVE LIKE THAT AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT TO DO, I HAVE GOTTEN RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO BECAUSE IM AFRAID IT WILL STALL OR LEAVE ME STRANDED, THIS MORNING IM COMING TO WORK AND STOPPED AT A SIGN, THEN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR I GO WELL NO I DONT BECAUSE THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS STUCK, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT FINALLY CAUGHT AND TOOK OFF, I AM A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVER SO ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IM EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE

PREVIOUS COMPLAINT # NHTSA FOR THIS ISSUE IS 11254423.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE LAST YEAR. THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN TURNING ON MY AC AND LIGHTS. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED FROM 30MPG TO 17 MPG. THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHEN TAKING OF AND STARTING. I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE THE ISSUES PARTIALLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END SOMEONE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. IN THE VEHICLE INSPECTION THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOUND THE FRAME TWISTED. THE ACCIDENT WAS A LOW SPEED COLLISION WHERE NO ONE WAS INJURED OTHER THEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME A LATE 90'S EARLY 20'S LEXUS CAR RED IN COLOR HAD LITTLE DAMAGE. HYUNDAI IS UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUES PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND I WAS TSEEN AND REATED FOR CHEMICAL BURN FROM THE AIRBAG

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE AC CONTROL MODULE 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE UNIT BURNS OUT AND MELTS THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS THAT PLUG INTO THE BACK OF THE PANEL. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITHIN THE VELSOTER COMMUNITY. AND HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2013 VELSOTERS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS DO TO YOU CAN ONLY BUY THIS PART AT THE DEALER FOR $279.99

PARKING BRAKE LIGHT IS COMING ON WHILE BRAKING

SO WHEN LEAVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE LETTING OFF THE BRAKE PETAL, AND LETTING THE VEHICLE START ROLLING ITSELF IN DRIVE WILL START VIBRATING AND MAKING CLUNKING METAL NOISES. WILL KEEP DOING IT UNLESS I EITHER DO TWO OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PETAL, OR PUSH ON THE BREAKS AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND WHEN THE VEHICLES FRONT WHEELS ARE TURNED WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT'S 2 TIMES WORSE. IT DOES IT ABOUT 2-3 TIMES DAILY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THEY CLAIM THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE THO BECAUSE OF THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM I KEEP FACING. PLEASE MAYBE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOMETHING SEND NOT RIGHT.

UPON TURNING AND GOING OVER ANY KIND OF SIGNIFICANT BUMPS OR UNEVEN SURFACES THE VEHICLE FISH-TALES FROM THE BACK. I HAVE TRIED IT ON DIFFERENT STREETS TO ENSURE ITS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO A SMALL PATCH OF UNEVEN ROAD. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES OVER THE SAME FREEWAY SPOT TO ENSURE IT WAST JUST MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOT GET THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO WITH MY VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN COMING TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP AND THEN PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY, EITHER IT WAITS TO ENGAGE AFTER THE CAR REACHES 4,000 RPM OR JERKS SUDDENLY INTO GEAR BOTH OCCUR ARE ON A DAILY BASIS. ANOTHER KEY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE HAPPENS WHEN TAKING MY FOOT FIRMLY OFF THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ON A HILL, PER THE MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO WAIT ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS ON A HILL TO ALLOW ME TIME TO STEP ON THE GAS TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AND PREVENT ROLLBACK INTO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES BEHIND ME HOWEVER IT IS EITHER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY OR DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING IN RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 22 MPH, THE DRIVER HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BUT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A FACE CONTUSION AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS SOUGHT. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER KEY HYUNDAI OF MILFORD (566 BRIDGEPORT AVE MILFORD CT.) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE INTERIOR COLOR COATING ON DASH STARTED PEELING ON DRIVERS SIDE (SMALL SPOT AREA) IN 2017. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL AND WINDOW BUTTON AREA IS NOW PEELING. CORNCERNED THIS WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT VEHICLE AND STILL INVESTING IN THIS CAR. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, NO REASON FOR PEELING.

TRUNK RELEASE KEEPS UNLOCKING AND MAKING SOUND WHEN I START CAR OR STOP CAR. SOMETIMES UNABLE TO OPEN TRUNK AS WELL. SAFETY ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE ISSUE MECHANICALLY AND HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN, AND CROSSED THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, AND BACK INJURIES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED MIKE MILLER HYUNDAI (2007 W PIONEER PKWY, PEORIA, IL 61615, (888) 372-7350) AND LEFT A VOICE MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER (19,038 MILES). UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. RECENTLY, SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, STALLED, HAD VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP SAYS FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER LED TO LOWER ENGINE FAILURE. REPORTED UNIT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WOULD BE OVER A MONTH TO GET A SHORT BLOCK FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER MODELS WITH EXCESSIVE EXHAUST TEMPS CAUSING FAILURES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO REOCCUR. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILING ON NEW CARS AND CERTAINLY NOT TWICE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED SATURDAY FEB 16, 2019. CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

CAR KEEPS DYING BECAUSE LATCH TO THE BACK TRUNK WOULD UNLOCK ITSELF CONTINUOUSLY AND EVEN MORE WHEN COLD .IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS OF TAKING MY CAR BACK AND STILL NO ANSWER UNTIL YESTERDAY 2/19/19 THE DEALER SHIP SAID ITS MY CAMERA NOW KILLING MY BATTERY.THROUGH IT ALL THE DEALER SHIP WOULD KEEP MY CAR AND I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A LOANER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE REVERSING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN ABNORMAL NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,784.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED AND GLASS FELL INTO THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE SUN ROOF WAS IN THE TILTED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMELBACK HYUNDAI (1500 EAST CAMEL BACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS PRIMARILY OCCURS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER WILL GO INTO PLACE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATER. SO FAR THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE RESOLVED BY PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTING IT.

PROBLEMS BEGAN APRIL 2017 WHEN I PLACED MY CAR IN GEAR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK IN GEAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF. I DIDN'T THINK OF REPORTING IT AT THE TIME. OCT 2017, WHILE DECELERATING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE RPMS SHOT UP TO 6500 AND THEN BACK DOWN. THEN BEGINNING ABOUT FEBRUARY I WOULD PLACE MY VEHICLE IN GEAR (BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVE) AND IT WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I RECORDED THESE, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN MAY THEY REPLACED THE SHIFT ACTUATOR AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT. THEN THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN JUNE SAYING THAT WOULD FIX IT. THEY REPLACED THE TCM AND TAC AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, AND AGAIN I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

FYI ONLY (NOT A COMPLAINT). WHEN USING A DRIVERS AND/OR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT (SIMI-RIGID) FOAM MICTO-FIBER "CUSHION", THE AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR WILL NOT BECOME ENGAGED IIN A 2016 HYUNDAI 'VELOSTER', THUS, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM WILL REMAIN DISENGAGED.

IN SEPTEMBER 2017 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN WHERE MY 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER BASE WAS T-BONED ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE BY AN INFINITI SUV. I HAD FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WITH THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL AGAINST HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND ALSO A COMPLAINT AGAINST HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA THEMSELVES. MY COMPLAINT WAS BASED ON THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK AT A SPEED OF GREATER THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR AND LESS THAN 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THAT THE DAMAGES DONE TO MY VEHICLE WERE RIGHT ON THE RIGHT REAR AIRBAG SENSOR BUT NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A LINGERING ODOR OF LEAKING GAS BUT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE FAULT. SINCE THAT I HAVE HAD SEVERE MIGRAINES AND DEVELOPED REALLY BAD ARTHRITIS IN BOTH ARMS AND BOTH SHOULDERS. MY PREVIOUS INSURANCE COMPANY PAID OUT MORE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THAT HIS ME AND DEEMED THE ACCIDENT A 50/50 FAULT ON BOTH PARTIES. EVEN THOUGH THE FAULT WAS ON BOTH PARTIES, THAT HAS NO BEARING ON A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY BEARING ON HYUNDAI'S RIGHT TO NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. WHAT I HAD REQUESTED OF HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA PREVIOUSLY WAS PAYOFF OF MY CURRENT VEHICLE OR A NEW VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

CAR IS NOW HESITATING UPON ACCELERATION AND SOUNDING LOUDER THAN USUAL AS WELL. RPM IS NOT MOVING UP MUCH AND HARDER TO SPEED UP, EVEN IN SPORT MODE. DANGEROUS WHEN NEEDING TO GO AT RELATIVELY HIGH SPEEDS (ONTO HIGHWAY ONRAMPS ETC)

AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES CURRENTLY AND PROPER DOCUMENTED MAINTENANCE AND CHECK REQUESTS ON VEHICLE, THIS CAR APPEARS TO NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD WHILE IN MOTION WHETHER AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LOW SPEEDS AND "SURGES" AND REQUIRES A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH IS APPARENT IN ANY DRIVING WEATHER CONDITIONS. NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF BRAKE WEAR OR REPLACEMENT NEEDS. NO INDICATOR SOUNDS.

THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. I TOOK OFF FROM A PARKING LOT INTENDING TO TUEN LEFT ON TO THE STREET. I WAS CUT OFF BY A TRUCK COMING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES QUICKLY. ONCE THE TRUCK PASSED THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT JUST REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE.THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING MY WAY AS I SAT IN THE STRRET BUT THE VEHICLE FINALLY GOT BACK IN GEAR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR AHEAD STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO BRAKE. WHEN I LOOKED THE CAR WAS IN 3RD GEAR ACCORDING TO THE DASH DISPLAY. THE TRANSMISSION LAGSAND SOMETIMES DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN IF YOU CREEP AT A RED LIGHT. THE RECALL HAS MADE IT WORSE AND NOW THE DEALER REFUSES TO COMMUNICATE OR SET UP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I AM IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HYUNDAI. I WAS SENT A VIDEO BY HYUNDAI SHOWING HOW YOU HAVE TO MODIFY YOUR DRIVING HABITS OF 56 YEARS. I WAS NEVER INSTRUCTED OF THIS AT PURCHASE OR TOLD ABOUT IT. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN VOLUNTARY REPOSESSION.

RECALL INFORMATION: FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS, I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP REGARDING MY AIR- CONDITIONING. I KNOW IT IS NOT AN AIR-CONDITIONING PROBLEM, BUT THAT OF A REGULATOR OR THERMISTER GOING BAD. WHILE DRIVING,THE AIR CONDITIONING WILL BE FUNCTIONING FINE WITH VERY COLD AIR. THEN AT A RANDOM OR AT INTERMITTENT TIMES WILL START TO BLOW EXTREMELY HOT "OVEN LIKE" AIR. I THEN TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONER OFF. IT WILL THEN AT A LATER TIME BLOW COLD AIR AGAIN. I AM SCARED THE CAR WILL SERIOUSLY OVERHEAT AS THE AIR IS SO INTENTLY HOT. I AM VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH A MECHANIC THAT WITHIN THE PAST YEAR RETIRED FROM HYUNDAI FOR MOST OF HIS CAREER OF 30 YRS. AND THAT WHAT HE ADVISED ME TO INQUIRE ABOUT THESE PARTS. MY SISTER WITHIN THE PAST YEAR HAS BOUGHT A 2017 TUSCON/ SHE JUST HAD THE SAME EXACT SITUATION I DO WITH HER AIR-CONDITIONING AND THEY HAD A RECALL ON HER THERMISTER RECENTLY. THE THERNISTER WAS CHANGED AND PROBLEM SOLVED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. THE RESPONSE WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN IS THAT NO CODE COMES UP SO WE CAN'T FIX OR CHANGE ANYTHING. THEY STICK A THERMOMETER IN THE AIR VENTS AND SAY ALL IS BLOWING THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE. SO, NOW IT'S OVER 95 DEGREES WITH A HEAT INDEX OVER 100 DEGREES IN NEW ORLEANS AND MY AIR-CONDITIONING WILL BLOW INTERMITTENTLY OVEN HOT AIR. EVEN IF IT IS BLOWING THE HOT AIR, HOW CAN I POSSIBLY DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME IT DOES THIS AND THEN CEASES. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT. SO I NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT

VELOSTER TURBO DCT MODEL. WHEN THE CAR ISN'T FULLY WARMED UP, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER UPON MEDIUM TO HARD ACCELERATION. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR INCREASES ENGINE REVS AND TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTS, BUT NO POWER IS BEING PUT TO THE WHEELS. YOU HAVE TO FULLY LIFT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN DEPRESS AGAIN TO GET POWER BACK. FOR EXAMPLE, ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO FREEWAY TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS AS IT LOSES POWER AS YOU ARE MERGING AND COULD EASILY BE REAR ENDED. OR TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, IF THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER MID TURN YOU COULD BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU HAVE MEDIUM TO HARD ACCELERATION WHEN THE VEHICLE ISN'T FULLY WARMED UP. HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO NUMBER. THERE IS VIDEO DOCUMENTATION ON THE INTERNET OF SAME PROBLEM.

TAKATA AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T WORK. SUFFERED BRAIN INJURY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING OVER 50 MPH ON JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA I95, HIT MEDIAN HEAD ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICK CASE HYUNDAI (3550 WESTON RD, DAVIE, FL, (954) 994-2397) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

[XXX] WAS IN A CAR CRASH AND HIS AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CRASH REPORT NUMBER IS [XXX], COMPLETED BY THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
