Body Problems of Hyundai Veloster - part 2

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.

What can I do I have allready been with out this vehicle for a month and so I asked the garage in town to place a roof instead of the ewindow and he is . How can I get Hyundai to pay for this it's there defective window?.

On 7/2/2017 I was driving on a local road at approximately 35 mph. When we heard a pop sound and portions of my sumroof came cascading on to the passanger in the back seat. I immediately pulled over to inspect the car. I have attached pictures.

I was driving ~60 mph on a new/smooth highway (I-60 in mesa) that was empty (no cars were in front of me for at least 2 miles). The sunroof/panoramic-roof suddenly shattered (exploded) and the glass flew everywhere. Glass fell on my head, everywhere in the car and even damaged the car antenna and spoiler (on the outside of the car). The temperature was ~60 degrees f, there were no rocks/debris flying around and the car was driving smoothly (no bumps on the road). The dealership is telling me a rock hit it (even though there is no evidence) and are making me cover the repairs! this is not right.

As I was driving down the road going about 60 miles per hour my sunroof exploded. I did not hit any bumps nor did any object strike my vehicle. It sounded like a bomb went off in my vehicle. Luckily I had the shade closed so the glass laid on the shade. However, looking in the rear view mirror there was a lot of glass flying around. No one was around me at the time of the explosion. My local Hyundai dealer is fixing the glass for half the cost of the actual repair per Hyundai corporation. I still would like this to be investigated. I'm terrified it'll happen again after it is fixed.

While parked in a parking garage my sunroof exploded. Glass was everywhere. Nothing was even near my car when it happened (thank goodness) after looking at security footage. I hope a recall is done soon because I could not imagine if I had been in the vehicle with children. Hyundai has been semi-helpful but something needs to be done before it happens instead of after.

I was driving down the interstate doing 70 mph when suddenly my sunroof exploded while closed. Considering this model vehicle has an all glass sunroof this is very dangerous. I called Hyundai and was told the 2012 models have a recall for exploding sunroofs but not mine in particular. This is a safety hazard as people with children in the backseat can get cut by falling glass if this happens. The sunroof explodes without warning.

As I was driving on the highway, the sunroof to my car suddenly exploded for no apparent reason. This very easily could have caused me to wreck into another car, as I panicked to move from the far left lane to the far right shoulder. I thought at first that I had hit someone, or someone had hit me. However upon inspection there was nothing wrong with any other part of my car. I can best explain this by asking you to imagine driving down the highway and a huge rock falling on my sunroof. After a pulled over and inspected my broken sunroof there was no rock or anything else to suggest something fell on my roof.

I have a 2013 vitamin c Veloster and I recently looked under my license plate in the rear and noticed a big hole in my bumper from melting, it seems to keep getting worse since last week when I noticed it. I took it into the dealership yesterday and showed the service guys and at that point my bumper and plate mount had fused together from the heat. I fear the bumper starting on fire right next to the gas tank. They took 3. 5 hours to look at it and figure out what was going on. They claimed that they have never heard of or seen this issue and when they finished, wouldn't tell me any info. They gave me no paperwork, they just told me "take the car, we had to order a lot of parts and it will be a while before we get them in; we will call you when the parts come in and they closed the shop.

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.

Driving at 70mph southbound on I-5 near albany or the sunroof suddenly imploded, showering the inside of the car with glass. The sunroof was closed as were all of the windows and the shade was open. Despite the traffic I was able to pull over to the side of the road and my passenger and I could shake out the pieces of glass from our hair and clothes. Apart from some small cuts there were no serious injuries. The entire inside of the car is covered in bits of broken glass- thankfully we didn't have anyone in the back seats. Upon having the service department at the dealer inspect the roof, I was told to contact my insurance company and see if I have coverage for the glass. When the sunroof recall came out last year I brought my vehicle in immediately and was told that it was okay, so this apparently absolves Hyundai from responsibility when it fails as mine did. What I don't understand is why this roof is not made of laminated glass or somehow coated so that if it were to shatter glass wouldn't enter the passenger compartment.

2012 Hyundai Veloster was recalled last year for a sunroof defect in which the sunroof may explode without warning. Car was taken to a Hyundai dealer, where they ended up replacing the sunroof because it was defective. November 25,2014, wife was driving the car at approximately 50 mph, when sunroof blew up, sending glass flying throughout the inside and outside of car. Wife had small cuts to face and arms, with glass pieces throughout her hair and clothes.

While driving on the 528 heading to work, there was an impressive explosion sound followed by glass shards and pulverized glass from the sunroof being propelled into the car forcefully. I was driving at approx 70mph, and the sunroof was closed. All other windows were closed as well. There were no other vehicles in front of me. The sunroof imploded into the car, covering me and the interior of the vehicle with glass. Thankfully, I was wearing sunglasses which kept the glass out of my eyes. As I was very near my job when it happened, I continued to drive at a much, much slower speed to my job. When I arrived, I found glass inside my clothing and was removing glass from my hair all day. I called a dealer and took the car in immediately, missing the first part of my shift at work. I was told they had never heard of this happening, but it would be covered under the warranty. A new sunroof was installed. Today, 11/14/13, while driving, I now notice a "crackling" sound from the roof while driving. I am afraid the implosion is going to happen again! I have called the dealer and am waiting to hear what they advise. Is terrible to own a car and be afraid to drive it!!.

Sunroof shattered/exploded when parked. Glass flew up to two feet away. Outdoor temp was near 70 f.

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.

After only having the vehicle for a short time, I started to notice on the center of the rear bumper & right rear quarter panel were missing paint. Over time it has only gotten worse. I was told that the parts of the car that are plastic underneath the paint tend to flex and cause the paint to crack.

While driving down the freeway at 65 mph, the sunroof shattered and glass fell down on me while driving. Fortunately, I was not injured and was able to safely exit the freeway. The car had been checked for a recall for defective sunroofs and had passed inspection by the dealer.

The car (Hyundai Veloster 2013, manual transmission, production date may 3, 2012) was parked on a small hill, with the hand brake pulled all the way. Apparently the hand brake failed, the car rolled downhill hitting a fence.

My car was park at my works parking lot and it was around 37 degrees f outside. I went to my car to get something out of my trunk. When I close my trunk I heard a splash after the trunk closed. I thought I splash some water but I then saw and realize that something is not right on my roof. I took a closer look and saw that my sunroof has blown up. Glass debris are everywhere especially on my windshield. I drove it home that night and brought it to the dealer where I bought it and they went ahead and gave me a rental car right away. I ask them for the best offer for a new car but they just wanted to sell me a new car. I don't trust the Hyundai brand anymore and im hoping in trading it in for a different car.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the panoramic sun roof exploded and the glass fragments scattered outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was in the process of replacing the sun roof. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

While driving down the interstate highway, sun roof "exploded" landing on me and throughout the interior. Sunroof was in the tilt position, to allow air flow, but no completely open. Cool 65 degree morning, sunny when occurred. Was not driving under any objects, nor did I see anything struck the car or glass. Made a load noise when it broke. Interior of the car was damaged as large pieces of glass fell inside. . . . Updated 08-15-12 updated 08/16/2012.

I am very traumatized since earlier today approximately 11am the glass sun roof on my 2012 Veloster exploded when I was rinsing the car off. The weather was in the high 70s or 80s but whatever the case its extremely dangerous and unacceptable since I had children that could have had bodily injury since they were playing close by. The explosion spread shattered glass around 6 feet around the car and driveway and it was such an unfortunate situation! I would not want this to happen to any other Veloster owners or future owners since it makes me sick since I live far away and was suppose to be home by now but due to this explosion I had to get it towed to a Hyundai dealership! I sincerely hope that Hyundai will resolve this issue since I was informed that this has happened to other Veloster owners and since the car has only been in the us market for 8+ months its utterly unacceptable that its happened to multiple owners! when arriving to the dealership they told me that it is no big deal and this is really not true! it is a big deal since bodily injury did happen during the explosion since I took off my shirt after a frantic traumatic day to try and sleep and I have a small cut from the shattered glass! this is really making me so upset since its my first time as a Hyundai owner and I regret having purchased this vehicle. I no longer feel safe and anxious to see what Hyundai will do to fix the problem! its so wrong for a car company to not care about the safety of the consumer since the statement from the salesman at the dealership where my car was towed is completely unacceptable and untrue! it is not normal for a car to explode when rinsing it off and there is no warning on the vehicle or manuals that would indicate caution to rinse your car in any climate! reading forums some people just hit a bump in the road and the sunroof shatters! this is a major flaw!.

There seems to be a problem with adjusting the Veloster side mirrors so they swing far enough out for tall drivers. Online forums indicate a number of drivers with this complaint. My dealer basically says "live with it" but with the blind spots on this car, that is not a safe answer. Drivers (5'10" and up) need to be able to safely see what is forward of the rear bumper of the vehicle and can't.
