general problems of the 2013 Hyundai Veloster - part 2

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall due to the engine overheating without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer for an inspection where she was informed that the vehicle had been making an abnormal noise and that the contact would have to pay a diagnostic fee. The contact declined the diagnostic fee. The contact linked her failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19v204000(electrical system, engine); however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a complaint had been filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and it remained in their possession. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Ac control knob, electrical wiring started smoking and would have caught fire if I had not turned off ac the cat could have possibly caught fire, not yet it is scheduled to be inspected 06/19/2021, no warning signals were presented the ac would only blow on lower settings at the onset of thw problem. The problem first appeared on 6/16/2021.

Replaced the manual climate control on my 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The connector to the unit is melted.

My second hvac control unit has melted. The plug is burnt. Thus is a ridiculously normal issue, you know when it fail because you smell the burning plastic before the heat shuts off.

Ive replaced the engine three time due to failure. The failure of the gdi motors is imminent. On a different note, the climate control knob heats up and burns out the metal strip behind the knob which causes the knob to eventually become useless.

I bought the 2013 base version Veloster w/ 80,000 miles on it back in 2021, beginning of January having no problems with the vehicle. Halfway through the month my Veloster started having on and off transmission problems, then at the end of the month, not even a month into owning the vehicle , my car won’t go into gear and my gear light is blinking on my dashboard. I do my research and see alot of Velosters have this problem, but don’t know the reason for it. So I proceed to take it to a trusted mechanic that does a diagnoses and determines I need a new tmc module, and also determined nothing else was wrong with the car. I had to wait 8 months to get the part from the Hyundai dealership and finally when they get it fixed, they tell me to take it to the Hyundai dealership to get it reprogram, because the car was put into limp mode after the new module was put in. After I picked up my vehicle, I took it to the dealership. I left them with all the information and insist that I only want to reprogram my tcm module. They proceed to do a diagnosis on my car and call me the same day, saying they have a recall on the rode bearings and also that I need a new transmission, and will replace it for 7,100$. I was mortified. The vehicle is only 80,000, and I already have to replace the transmission after buying the vehicle, I feel scammed. If I see that thousands of people are having this same problem, I believe it needs to be address.

The climate control switch has been replaced multiple times. The main harness where clips in is burnt an is melting my switch out after being changed an used for few hours it then burns out. The car smells like it's melting threw the vent of plastic.

The ac controller quit working so I looked and the wires had burned behind the dash also melted the switch seen online it seems to be a very common issue with thiscar.

Fan speeds for heat and a/c no longer work when the dial is placed on the number for the speed of the fan. To get speed #2 to blow, the dial is actually somewhere around position 2. 5. To get speed #3 to blow, the dial needs to be at about 3. 5, will not work with dial placed on the number 3 like it should. Same issue with fan speed #4. After removing dash panels to inspect, wires and electrical connections are getting so hot to the point that they melt. This is a fire hazard.

Faulty hvac module and wiring catching on fire.

I bought a 2013hyundai Veloster in April of 2019 with in the first 2 days of having car it stopping accelerating an left me on the side of road. I had to car towed back to the dealer where the car was bought . After them looking in to the problem they ended up replacing the catalytic converter. The car ran fine for about another 5 to 6 months. Then one day bad rough idel rpms dropping when under acceleration after putting on code reader it turned out to be a misfire I then replace coil pack and spark plugs. The Veloster ran fine for about 3 to 4 months this time. Now we are back to the car having issues today 7/11/20 loss of power under acceleration,rough idel,knocking sound coming from engine. I have contacted Hyundai in the past on the 2013 ecu recall they did not want to honor there recall saying in order to look in to the problem I'd need to get it diagnosed through the dealer when I can simply use my owe code reader. It has been nothing but issues with this vehicle I bought with only 63000 miles this is frustrating is there anything that can be done for Hyundai to honor there recall thank you .

Smelled a burning plastic smell and later realized that setting #4 on hvac fan no longer worked. Vehicle was in motion on a highway at the time.

My car stalled at a red light. Even though the engine was running and there were no mechanical lights on, the car wouldn't go when I pressed the gas. After turning the car off and on several times, it wouldn't move. It had to be pushed out of the street and after 20 minutes of resting, it worked again.

Ac control switch replaced 4 times and the cruze switch has wire problem.

Most of not all owners of Hyundai/kia vehicles experience a short in the climate control unit. This fault not only creates a visibility issue while driving the car in adverse weather. But may also cause spark fire associated with the climate control knob.

The knob on to the ac and heat in the vehicle burned out and doesnt work. According to main websites, this issue happens alot and continues to be an issue for many even after it's been replaced.

While driving in the highway I had a burn wire smell when my air conditioner was set at blower speed 4 and it stop working at that setting. I was doing dome research and found the controller has a tendency to get burn indide due to be unable to hold the blower electrical load. I think this can turn into a fire hazard. Found info in forums, youtube videos etc. Lot of people is dealing with this to the point they replace the part with an original one and the new one gets burn again. The controller 97250-2v010-bpd.

The fan switch for the hvac quit working, so I took the climate control module off to see what the problem was and noticed the switch itself was melted and burned, as if there was a fire and/or the voltage is too high. This is a severe fire hazard and should be looked into immediately. I am not the only person having this issue.

The temperature control keeps melting I have read they are a lot of compliments about this fire hazard I have replaced it 3 times but the wording harness is burnt.

Steering wheel making clunking noises when it is turned and messed up clocks ring causing the vehicles airbag light to turn on.

The climate control/fan speed selector knob melts and burns out, causing a potential fire hazard. Voltage is too high for the material they are using and thus causes it to melt and burn out.

The drivers side window does not come back up the motor engages and window stuck in open also occured on the passenger rear window.

Takara recall. Ac switch and wires are burnt, possible electrical fire.

Fan blower switch no longer functions on setting 1 or 2. Setting 3 and 4 work for now. A faint electrical smell was detected shortly after I changed the fan speed.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the climate control fan switch melted, which affected the fan speed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called duell's evansville Hyundai (located at 4400 e division st, evansville, in 47715, (812) 473-4400) where it was diagnosed that the control fan switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 116,618.

The ac/heater blower switch was replaced 2 years ago and as of today I removed the switch for not working again and found the switch and box had melted and caught fire. This is a major fire hazard that has occurred to multiple people.

I am on my third control heater assembly (part number: 972502v010blh) - after several months the fan speed control breaks. It totally falls apart internally and now I see why - appears to be a heat issue. I do not feel safe in this vehicle as I could see an electrical fire starting, I have attached a photo of the connector.

First the turbo stopped working n smoking. Took it to the dealer n they had it for a month. . Get it back one day later had to have it towed . Vehicle was there for another 2 weeks got it back and it started to smoke. I pressed on the gas pedal n the car wouldn’t move! the first time the turbo was supposed to be replaced I believe ever since it was sent there to be replaced it was never the same. I still have the car and it will not start. The turbo n engine are filled with oils .

The air/fuel mixture in the engine caused the oil to burn through faster than it should, increased pressure and caused the cylinder to damage the engine. This resulted in me having to replace the engine. The electrical system caused the vehicle to idle rough at low rpm, and eventually stalled at an intersection on a busy highway.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming 3 quarts of oil every 3,500 miles. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal sound and pulled to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon inspecting the engine oil level, there was no oil on the dipstick. The contact stated that the low oil pressure warning light failed to illuminate. The contact then pulled into the nearest gas station, where oil was added to the engine. The contact stated that the low oil pressure warning light had failed to illuminate while the engine oil level was low on several occasions. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the low oil pressure warning was designed to illuminate when the oil level was 2 quarts low; however, the contact stated that the warning light had failed to illuminate. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for an oil consumption test. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My car began making a whistling sound and stopped in traffic. No power just stopped. - I was driving on a feeder road at about 35mph.

We took the car to hondai before this recall about 3 month ago left it there for 3 days they did a deep check up on the electricity since the car won't drive no results were found and the car still not working.

I purchased my 2013 Hyundai Veloster in fall of 2015 as second owner from world Hyundai in matteson, IL. It had roughly 32,000 on the odometer. After two decent years of relatively trouble free ownership the "electrical gremlins" attacked the trunk release, then the reverse camera, then the climate control knob. I was reluctant to take the car in again because I had spent more money on diagnostic charges than I had on items that were covered. I liked the vehicle and meticulously maintained it to spec as well. On one of the coldest days in winter of 2019, I went out to start up my Veloster and was terrified by a loud metal ticking followed by rattling in the motor. I immediately shut down the car. I waited a bit then tried to start it again. It was very bad. I took the car to the closest Hyundai dealership in which I described all the issues with the car. At this point the vehicle has roughly 92000 miles on the odometer and of course the tell me there is nothing they can do but, replace the motor for around $4500 , sell me a new one, or buy it in trade. Once again I paid over $430 in diagnostic fees with no coverage or help. Looked around on line and found that these vehicles has had all of the above issues and no clear solutions to any. I've also noticed that all of the issues I have had with my vehicle many others have posted on youtube, google etc. , but not many have filed official complaint. Come on people! get on board!.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19v204000 (electrical system, engine). While driving 70 mph, the contact heard an abnormal popping and clunking noise and the vehicle stalled. Smoke emerged from the vehicle and oil was in the engine compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact called lee Hyundai of goldsboro (304 n oak forest rd, goldsboro, nc 27534, (866) 789-1488), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 15836168, but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 121,000.

The trunk latch had been failing intermittently. I stopped at a dealership who opened the driver's door, and began locking and unlocking the electric door locks. This solved the problem at the time. I asked how playing with the locks would fix the trunk issue. The question was not answered. This solved the problem for a couple of years. However, the trunk latch finally failed permanently. I could not open the trunk via the emergency latch from the in side. I was told by the dealership that the issue was an electrical issue. Hence, the door lock remidey. Multiple Veloster owners have reported the same with some years being recalled. The 2013 has not been recalled and the dealership quoted 400. 00 to repair this defect. I bought the car new and it now has 50,000 miles. I have had multiple safety issues with this vehicle that have been resolved but fyi-issue with abs kicking in during every single brake, even if at a red light. I brought the car to the dealership multiple times for this issue and was told it was normal. I went to another dealership and test-drove another 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The abs only kicked in when appropriate not with every single break. While purchasing tires after a 3rd blowout ( 30, 000 miles) the tire company noticed something wrong with the sensors to the abs. This was resolved by the tire company. It's concerning that huyndai would not acknowledge the abs issue. In fact, they don't acknowledge anything-- my gps never worked correctly which was reported to Hyundai at least 10 times over a three-year period. I finally made a video of the malfunction- as soon as I submitted the video the gps was replaced immediately. Problem being the new gps was the same model as the first and does not work either. I now have a vehicle without a gps and without a trunk that opens.
