general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster - part 2

I was driving home from work with pelting ice, just got off the expressway, stopped to get food for dinner. Parked in a large lot, when I was walking out with my groceries, heard a sound like a gun shot. I was about 8 feet from my car and realized my sunroof just exploded. There was very sharp jagged pieces of glass all over my interior. I had to get a blanket from the trunk and sit on it to get home without cutting myself and nearly had another accident because the pelting ice was coming down on my face. Thank god it didn't happen while I was on the expressway, probably would have killed someone or myself with glass exploding into my face. Called the dealer, they were rude and uncaring until my wife got involved. She had to argue with the service assistant manager, brandy, on several occasions. I took my car in to kerry for the recall in 2014 and they gave it back to me saying it was tested and was safe. Brandy felt Hyundai was liable and was very flippant with the wife. . . Big mistake. She called the general manager of the dealership when brandy refused to pay for my rental car during the 4 weeks they had my Veloster in for replacing the roof. All in all, this could have easily been a fatal issue if god hadn't been watching over me. It scares us to think of what could have been, just 15 minutes earlier. We feel Hyundai should be sued for this, class action. I can't say I feel safe driving the vehicle now, but have no choice.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the sun roof shadowed while passing another vehicle. The contact stated there was no crashed between the two vehicles. There was not medical attention required also a report was filed. The vehicle was taken to dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not provied. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,000. Bm.

I was driving my 2012 Hyundai Veloster on a paved road at 45 mph. The screen for the sunroof was open but the glass was closed. All of a sudden glass just rains down on me causing small cuts to my arms and face, small shards of glass are still embedded in my cell phone screen protector. Luckily I wasn't more seriously injured and there wasn't any vehicles around me because the sudden rush of air and glass to my face caused me to swerve.

While driving on the interstate I-10 west of tucson, the sun roof suddenly exploded. There were no other vehicles in front of us. Glass was falling into the vehicle while I attempted to slow down, turn on my hazard lights and get off at the next exit. My husband and friend were in the car with me and they were able to try and hold up the fabric that covers the sunroof so I could try to get us off the road. Glass was all over us and the vehicle. Damage also happened along the top of the vehicle(it's all glass). I contacted my insurance company and Hyundai. I was told by Hyundai that while there were several vehicles like mine, same year and model were recalled, but mine was not on the recall list. After going the next day to the dealer where I purchased it, they are going to fix the damage as well as give me a rental car. Hyundai is paying for all of it. While I'm very happy they are paying for all damages, I really think they need to further investigate the recall. Mine was manufactured may 14, 2012, I was told the last date of the vehicles involved in the recall was April 2012. They have also recalled 2013 models with the same issue. I find it hard to believe that this is coincidence. We were truly fortunate that we were not in a very serious accident because of this incident. I'm very concerned that they are replacing the glass and not the actual structure of the sunroof. Will this happen again? something needs to be addressed before someone else is involved in a serious or possibly fatal accident. I believe Hyundai knows they are at fault, otherwise they would not be doing these repairs at no cost.

After having the vehicle recalled, inspected, and repaired for a known sunroof issue, my Hyundai Veloster had no window issues for approximately 1 year. While driving down the highway on April 26th, my sunroof spontaneously exploded to pieces without cause or impact. The recall for the car was supposed to have fixed this potential issue. Obviously, in my case, the recall did not work. The sunroof shattering was extremely loud and startling, nearly causing me to crash my vehicle.

I was driving with a passenger on a freeway and the sunroof exploded downward, throwing glass all over us while driving 65 miles an hour. I was able to pull off of the road and clean off the seats and take it to the dealer for a replacement, but I have no idea if the replacement is safe.

While driving my car the sunroof exploded and shattered all over, the dealer and Hyundai told me that my car was not part of the recall because it was made in may of 2012 and the recall was only up to April 2012. They obviously have the same problem with newer models as well.

While driving home from work, today the panaromic sunroof shattered and crashed down with a loud sound, ,Hyundai had already done a recall on my vehicle model for the same issue last year and I had checked it with a Hyundai delaer whol tested and found no issues with roof when they inspected it on Jun 2013 last year ,suddenly it crashed and almost injured me very badly today,it could have been very fatal . Ironically Hyundai had issud a recall for the same last year but it did not seem to make any difference as the dealer s r not replacing the roofs ,its a grave concern and I urge the concerned authorities to kindly look into the matter as it could be a fatal issue on roads sometime soon if this continues.

The sunroof of my 2012 hyunday Veloster exploded today without warning. The sunroof was under a recall campaign and was checked by the dealership. However, the dealership signed off that the sunroof was fine and did not need to be replaced. However, today (about 6 months after having checked on the sunroof) it exploded while driving on the highway and the shattered sunroof fell into the car all over me and the inside of the car.

Car purchased new in 2011. Me - 50+ female, have driven 18k miles in 30 months. Current mileage approx 18,800. Blown kumho front passenger tire at 35 mph - rim and tire replaced by dealer at my cost in Aug 2013 at 14k mileage. Jan-Feb 2014, repeated visits to dealer due to tires losing air. Feb 21, 2014, back passenger tire replaced by dealer at my cost due to bubbling and rotated to front. (Aug replacement rim and tire now on back passngr side). Dealer states tire rated for 60k miles. Dealer states all tires thoroughly examined and good to go. Cost from Aug to Feb $1000 for two tires and rims. Eight days later, have driven 50-60 miles only since visit to dealer. On Mar 1, 2014 (sat), back passenger tire flat, car towed to dealer on Mar 3 (mon). Dealer says back rim (replaced in August) needs to be replaced again but tire is fine (????), also need front left tire due to bubbling. Will cost another $800. Total of nearly $2000 in rims and tires in 6 months on a car with 18000 miles. Calls to Hyundai. They are "working on it" but dealer is not responding to specific questions. Mechanic at dealer blames the road. How can a rim be bent in a week but the tire is okay???? call to kumho regarding tires. Tires are not rated for any mileage. Lie #1 from dealer - said tires rated at 60k. Currently in rental car at my cost while Hyundai and dealer play games. Seriously contemplating getting an attorney involved.

The low rider rear tires were making loud noises - rear left went flat - cheap tires because the belts were showing through the tire - got towed to bangor, maine to nearest dealership - they replaced the faulty tire and told me the left one was also showing through the belts. So every 27685 miles I'll need to pay $390. 00 ?? that's right, they charged me that much for two tires and no this is not an escalade, (free towing from perry me) 120 miles to bangor woweee !!! told them the air bag notification light came on they turned it off, it was off for a short time - its back on.

On Saturday, 3/30/2013, I entered my garage at 04:00 a. M. And found that the sunroof of my 2012 Hyundai Veloster had exploded (detonated) sometime during the night. Glass fragments covered the entire front end of my car to include the floor in front of the car. On Friday, 3/29/2013, I had the sunroof open for the majority of the 50 mile drive home from work with no issues. When I parked the car inside the garage the sunroof closed fine and was not shattered. The car remained parked in the garage until I discovered the event the next morning. I entered the car to retrieve some personal items at approximately 9:00 p. M. On the 29th and the sun roof was fine. So. Sometime between 9:00 p. M. And 04:00 the event occurred. I have a finished garage, with a sheetrock ceiling. Nothing fell on my roof! I can't imagine the resulting effects if I had been driving this vehicle when the sunroof exploded.

Cpsc#i1310578a. 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The consumer stated that she was having problems with the drivers seat belt.

I was driving on highway ,steering wheel seems to be sticking ,takes effort to keep straight on road. It seems like the steering wheel has a sticky spot in center it's been getting worse ,took to dealer they say they can't duplicate the problem but as soon as I left it came right back,there is a problem but they say its because I have to get used to electric assist steering ,I've driven other cars with same assist but never had this problem it now does this at any speed over 20 mph.

On September 16th 2012, approximately 4 months after purchasing the vehicle, I was driving east on I-90 at about 70 mph when my sunroof exploded. There were no vehicles in my immediate vicinity and no foreign object made contact or entered my vehicle. The sunroof was closed when this happened and I was not trying to operate it at the time of the incident. It sounded like a water balloon popped and then glass came raining down on top of my head and into my car. There were no passengers in the vehicle other than the driver and there were no injuries.

The sunroof shattered violently in an upwards direction, sending some glass down inside the car and the rest all over the exterior. After googling I found out there are many other Veloster owners that have had identical instances where their sunroofs shattered spontaneously. This could have resulted in serious injury. The dealership says they do not know exactly what causes it, but they are working on it with Hyundai. They have another sunroof on order, but am worried I may have this happen again due to their manufacturing defect for this component.

Car has stalled while driving. Sometimes it will not go into gear. Other times it only goes into first gear. Had to move it to neutral then back to drive to get it to work. Other times, had to turn it off completely and back on to get it to work. This problem nearly got me in an accident when it happened while entering a highway. Also, sometimes in first gear the car will "chugg". It will struggle to accelerate and have a jerking/chugging feel. After a couple visits to Hyundai, they have failed to figure out the problem.
