2015 Hyundai Veloster turbo (original owner). The vehicle has three severe safety defects: trunk/hatch latch failure: the hatchback lift support/latch fails, refusing to stay open. It unexpectedly fell, which has caused repeated, severe impacts to my head and neck, resulting in an injury requiring surgery. I must manually prop it open with a Mini ball to load cargo. Engine & turbo failure / oil consumption: history of engine acceleration issues and turbo failures since 4,000 miles. At 44,000 miles, the turbo completely failed, the car started to whine, then rattle, and completely turned off. Dealer (Hyundai escondido) forced a $2,200 out-of-pocket replacement despite being under warranty, citing a lack of at-home oil change receipts. The vehicle now has a documented, rapid oil leak and excessive consumption issue that the dealer refuses to repair, despite being reported prior to warranty expiration. Seat belts: the front and rear seat belt latches are malfunctioning, intermittently releasing on their own, failing to release properly, or failing to latch securely, compromising the safety of a [xxx] passenger. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The car was repaired at a Hyundai dealership less than a month prior to the incident. I was driving down a road with no one around besides me and my passenger when all of a sudden orange sparks start flying out the sides of the car, I slow down and pull over as fast as I could, then I noticed fire on the passenger side and hurried us out the car. It proceeded to burn away until the firefighters came.
While washing my 2015 Veloster, the shark fin anntena just broke off, I see this has happened with hundreds of Hyundai vehicles yet they have not done anything about it. The dealer wants an outrageous $500 to $600 , I got crazy glue and carefully glued it back on. Its solid as a rock now and only cost me $6. 99 for the glue.
Traveling from little rock arkansas to branson missouri my panoramic sun roof exploded out of nowhere on the inner state. Scared me and my family to death no reason for the breakage that I can see notice that there was a class action against this model and brand but I am outside the deadline my vehicle is a 2015 Veloster.
While gently washing the car the shark style antenna breaks off. This is the case for hundreds of owners. This is a defective part. Dealer charge for repair is $400. 00 to $500. 00 dollars. Parked in driveway.
