2014 Hyundai Veloster Owner Complaints

I PURCHASED MY 2014 VELOSTER TURBO RIGHT OFF OF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME , 90 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED IT WAS REALLY HARD TO KEEP MY CAR STRAIGHT IN THE ROAD. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO FORCE MY CAR TO STAY STRAIGHT ON THE STRAIGHTEST HIGHWAYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS FOUND TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT . THEY ALIGNED IT, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE DRIVING BACK HOME. I HAVE NOW HAD MY VEHICLE IN TO 3 DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE RECORDS OF THE ADJUSTMENTS. IT IS STILL NOT ALIGNED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY . AT 5K MILES WE WERE DRIVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HAD BEEN DRIVING ALL DAY. WE WERE GETTING BACK ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE . IT CLEARED UP AND I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES WHEN IT ACTED UP AGAIN, THIS AT 65 MPH. SAME ISSUES FLASHING LIGHTS, SLOWING FROM 65 TO 30 AS MY CAR FELT IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I WAS ABLE TO REPORT IT TO MY BLUELINK, ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT SHOW ON THEIR END. THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BY HYUNDAI , ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DETECT OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO ME. I AM TO THE POINT WHERE I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. NOT ONLY FOR MY SAFETY BUT FOR OTHERS AS WELL. I HAVE A TOTAL OF 7 SERVICE RECORDS WITH NO ANSWERS EXCEPT , IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN COME RIGHT IN AND HOPEFULLY THE COMPUTER WILL TELL US. THE ALIGNMENT WAS DONE 5 TIMES AND TOOK IN 6, ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE ANSWER I GET FOR THE ALIGNMENT NOW IS, " CUSTOMER MAY ALSO NOT BE USED TO ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM". I AM A 43 YEAR OLD MAN THAT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING THAT DRIVES STRAIGHT ON THE SAME ROADS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME... *TR

I HAVEN'T HAD MANY TROUBLES WITH STEERING LIKE OTHERS HAVE HOWEVER I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY GO INTO GEAR. I CAN START THE CAR AND IT TAKES UP TO A MINUTE TO GO INTO GEAR AND EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN SWITCHING OVER NEUTRAL (IE. GOING FROM PARK OR REVERSE TO DRIVE OR VICE VERSA) ANOTHER PROBLEM I'M HAVING TROUBLES WITH IS THE ELECTRONICS. WHEN I GO TO BACK UP THE REAR CAMERA APPEARS FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS THEN GOES TO THE RADIO. ITS NEARLY AN EVERYDAY THING. SOMETIME THE RADIO, DISCS, OR MEDIA PLAYER WILL PLAY MUSIC BUT WILL BE SILENCED AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE MODE AND SWITCH IT BACK BEFORE IT WILL PLAY. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOLUME I HAVE TRIED THAT. ALSO RECENTLY MY CLOCK HAS STARTED TO RESET EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR ON. IT RESETS TO 11:10. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CLOCK HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND I CANT GET ANYTHING DONE UNLESS I PAY. WHICH I REFUSE BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE MY PROBLEM.

THIS CAR WILL NOT DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND CANNOT CENTER AGAIN BY ITSELF. THE DRIVER MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT LEFT TO RIGHT. IF YOU DRIVE IN THE WINTER ON CLEAR ROADS INTERRUPTED BY ICEY PATCHES, THE CAR BREAKS LOOSE IMMEDIATELY. IN A RECENT SNOW SQUALL ON ROUTE 81, PA I WAS THE ONLY CAR STRUGGLING TO GO STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS CHILLING AND DANGEROUS. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL. GOOGLE VELOSTER STEERING PROBLEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VELSOTER BRAND NEW WITH 33 MILES ON IT IN NOVEMBER 2014. IF FEB OF 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING A LITTLE. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND GET AND OIL CHANGE. I HAD ABOUT 8K MILES ON IT. THEIR WAS A SMALL SCRATCH ON ONE OF THE RIMS ABOUT 1/2 LONG, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AMOUNT OF SHAKING THAT WAS HAPPENING. THE SERVICEMAN SAID HE ROTATED THE TIRES AND THEIR SHOULDN'T BE ANYMORE ISSUES. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME IT WAS NOT ANY BETTER IN FACT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORSE. I TOOK IT BACK IN YESTERDAY TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS SHAKING AND HAVE IT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WERE SEVERAL DENTS IN 2 OF MY RIMS WHICH WAS THROWING IT OFF BALANCE. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OVER 50. THEIR IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THESE DENTS HAPPENED DUE TO ANYTHING BEING HIT DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. THEY AREN'T LOOKING ANYMORE INTO IT AND WON'T FIX IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED LIKE THIS. THEIR IS OBVIOUSLY SOME SORT OF DEFECT OR SOMETHING WITH THESE PARTICULAR RIMS IF THEY HAVE DENTS IN THEM THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THEY NEED TO LOOK MORE INTO IT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOT CAUSED. *TR

THE TAILGATE RELEASE PAD HAS TO BE PRESSED VERY HARD TO GET THE LATCH TO UNLOCK. WE BEGAN NOTICING THIS ISSUE AT CHRISTMAS WHEN WE WERE LOADING THE TRUNK FOR A TRIP HOME AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE TRUNK OPEN AT ALL WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THE TRUNK COMPLETELY USELESS. I TOOK IT, TODAY, TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PAD HAD COLLAPSED INSIDE OF THE SWITCH AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DUE TO THE PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH/PAD INDICATING THAT IT WAS A RECALLED PART THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A SEARCH FOR A RECALL OR CAMPAIGN ON THIS PART THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PART ON VELOSTERS WITH A MODEL YEAR OF 2015 AND 2016. I WANT TO REPORT THIS NOW ON THE 2014 MODEL YEAR VELOSTER TURBO AS THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE SAME CAMPAIGN AS THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS AS IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

SOLD A 2014 HYUNDAI VELOSTER WITH GRINDING BRAKES, ACCELERATION PROBLEM, AND VIBRATION ISSUES. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WOULD BE FIXED. I RETURNED THE CAR WITHIN 24HRS. THE CAR VIBRATES DANGEROUSLY AT 50MPH AND ABOVE. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF, TRYING TO PASS, OR GET ON FREEWAY. THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE CARS ALREADY GOING 70MPH COULD OF HIT US WHILE TRYING TO GET ON FREEWAY. SOMETIMES WHILE GIVING THE CAR GAS IT WOULD JUST REV UP THE RPMS WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. THIS ALSO SCARED ME INTO RETURNING THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE IF PROBLEMS WERE FIXED, AND THE MI GENTE AUTO DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY JUST REPLACED TIRES AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THEY CAN KEEP THE CAR, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP COMING BACK FOR SAME ISSUES. I WAS THREATENED WITH REPOSSESSION WILL BE ADDED TO MY CREDIT.

ON 09/23/2017 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DAY, AROUND 80 DEGREES WITH MY SUNROOF CLOSED, AND THE SUNROOF COVER OPEN TO ALLOW THE SUNLIGHT IN. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT A MILE FROM MY EXIT, I HEARD A LOUD BANG THAT STARTLED ME (SOUNDED LIKE GUNSHOT), ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT STUFF HITTING MY HEAD, FACE, AND SHOULDERS. I LOOK UP AND SAW MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WITH SHATTERED GLASS FLYING ALL OVER MY CAR AND REALIZED GLASS IS WHAT WAS HITTING ME FACE AND BODY. LUCKILY, THE SOUND OF THE SUNROOF EXPLODING AND GLASS FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE, I WAS ABLE TO STILL KEEP CONTROL OF MY CAR. I SLOWED DOWN TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND PULL INTO A PARKING SO I COULD GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND LOOK IT OVER. I NEVER SAW ANYTHING FLY UP AT MY CAR, OR AT MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES CLOSE TO ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AS I LOOKED OVER THE CAR, I SAW HOW BADLY THE THE SUNROOF LOOKED AND GLASS ALL OVER MY CAR SEATS. I PICKED PIECES OF SHATTERED GLASS FROM MY HAIR, SHIRT AND PANTS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A CLAIM, AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE SUNROOF. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A STORAGE LOT UNTIL THE BODY SHOP WAS OPEN ON MONDAY. I REQUESTED FOR A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT FIRST BEFORE THE AUTO-BODY SHOP BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. A GENTLEMAN FROM DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK PICTURES OF SUNROOF AND SUBMITTED TO HYUNDAI ON 09/26 TO INVESTIGATE THE CLAIM. ON 09/28, THAT SERVICE ADVISOR FROM THE DEALERSHIP LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO THAT SERVICE ADVISOR TO OBTAIN A REASON FOR THE CLAIM BEING DENIED. HE SAID HYUNDAI'S INVESTIGATION REVEALED AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE CAUSE THE GLASS TO BREAK, BUT I WAS PROVIDED WITH NO REPORT OR ANY OTHER EXPLANATION ON HOW THEY CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION. I SAW SOME 2012 VELOSTERS WERE RECALLED FOR SUNROOFS EXPLODING. IT'S A HUGE LIABILITY.

THE AC/HEATER BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER IN THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY MODEL THAT SHARES THE SAME STYLE KNOB HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT. ALONG WITH THE FIRE HAZARD THIS PRESENTS IT ALSO EFFECTS THE USE OF DEFROST WHICH CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN SOME CLIMATES AND THE SWITCH MAY FAIL COMPLETELY RENDERING THE DEFROST FUNCTIONALLY UNUSABLE. ATTACHED YOU WILL SEE IMAGES OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE SWITCH IN QUESTION AS WELL AS THE CONNECTOR FOR THE SWITCH WHICH HAVE SUFFERED SERIOUS HEAT DAMAGE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. HYUNDAI CHOSE TO USE THE SWITCH ITSELF AS THE CURRENT PASSING CONDUCTOR INSTEAD OF A RELAY AS USED BY MOST MANUFACTURERS. THIS DECISION IS CLEARLY REFLECTED AS A NEGLIGENT ONE WITH REGARDS TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE SWITCH AND INCORRECT GAUGE OF THE WIRING USED FOR SAID SWITCH. WITH NORMAL USE IN ANY POSITION ON THE DIAL, THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE THE WIRING OF THE CONNECTOR, AND THE INSIDES OF THE SWITCH TO OVERHEAT. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF FUNCTIONALITY, THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY. WITH THESE LOW GAUGE WIRES BEING USED FOR THIS IT POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR EVIDENCE OF THE SWITCH AND CONNECTOR DEFORMATION CAUSED BY OVERHEATING. PLEASE BARE IN MIND THAT THE SWITCH COMPONENTS AND CONNECTOR APPEAR TO BE MADE OF PA6, A GLASS FIBER REINFORCED NYLON WHICH IS INTENDED TO STAND UP TO A GREAT DEAL OF HEAT. ADDITIONALLY THE WIRE WRAP (PICTURED BELOW) MEANT TO PROTECT THE WIRING ON THIS CONNECTOR FROM RATTLING IS MADE OF A CLOTH/COMPOSITE MATERIAL, WITH THE ABILITY TO MELT AND CATCH FIRE. THIS ISSUE IS A CONSTANT BEING DOWN TO THE WIRING. IN MOTION, STATIONARY, OR OTHERWISE HAS NO BEARING SO LONG AS THE CLIMATE CONTROLS ARE BEING USED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

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.

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!?

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)

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 be noted that the car was not leaking oil but I didn’t understand why it was running out so quickly .
