I have not "yet" had an incident but, because of the safety recall, I have been parking my vehicle outside for almost a year (since October 2023). It is now August 2024 and a part for my Hyundai Veloster 2014 is still not available. For an issue that may cause a fire, or indeed any recall issue, this is way too long for a remedy to become available! this has caused considerable inconvenience: scraping frost and cleaning off snow, constant dirt, and inability to park in parking garages. Additionally, the additional wear will reduce the value of the car when I sell it.

2019 Hyundai Veloster. Since November 2022, my vehicle has encountered multiple problems, necessitating extensive periods in repair shops, and I believe these issues have not been addressed satisfactorily. Below is a timeline of the events for your reference: - **December 2022**: engine replacement was conducted, resulting in the vehicle being in the shop for 7. 5 weeks. - **January & February 2023**: the car underwent repairs for damage due to a faulty door and leaking moisture. - **February 2023**: the vehicle was broken into, leading to another round of repairs in April 2023. - **October 2023**: the check engine light activated. Upon taking the vehicle to your dealership, I was informed of a two-month wait for diagnosis and an even further delay for the repair. - **December 2023**: I was advised to leave the car at the dealership for a diagnosis to be conducted several weeks later, with no offer of a courtesy vehicle. - **January 2024**: the dealership diagnosed a low oil code and instructed me to return to the previous service provider to reset it, despite the oil level being adequate. I believe that the engine was not accompanied by proper installation and synchronization of related components, it could indeed lead to a p0017 code. This code indicates a misalignment between the crankshaft and camshaft positions, which can be caused by issues such as a faulty timing chain or belt, incorrect installation of these components, or a problem with the camshaft or crankshaft sensors?. The appearance of a p0017 code after an engine replacement can vary in time depending on the specific circumstances of the installation. If the timing components such as the chain or belt, sensors, and related parts are not properly installed or calibrated, the code could show up immediately after the engine is started. In other cases, it might take some time for the code to appear, as the engine's computer tries to adjust the timing and eventually determines it cannot correct.

My cars lights (headlights, gage cluster lights, dash lights, radio screen light, etc. . ) and screen for my radio and back up camera, all turn off by themselves, for maybe 1 second or 2, while driving. This happens randomly, no warning, no special conditions, just out of nowhere, and for no reasons. Since I bought the car in September of 2020 (used, as is) it has done it now 7 or 8 times, with tonight being the most recent occurrence. I don't know how to have it checked or verified by a technician because there's no forewarning before it happens. It's completely random and unexpected. It's very scary, especially with my children in the car.

This complaint is regarding safety recall #23v651000 related to my 2013 Hyundai Veloster. In September of 2023, a potential problem with the abs module was identified which could cause an engine compartment fire while driving or parked. It is now February, 2024, 5 months later and there is still no resolution. This is unacceptable. I am driving a vehicle which could result in personal property damage and/or personal injury or death. Being told to park the vehicle outdoors and away from structures is not a long term solution until the recall remedy is completed. How much longer am I, and others going to have to wait for a resolution to this issue?.

Ac controls started melting and almost caused a fire.

The climate control switch on my vehicle as well as many others has burned up the wiring that plugs into it behind the dash and started smoking and actually almost burned my car to the ground.

My car battery died and I changed the battery. I noticed that the engine lights were on, so I made an appointment to get it checked as well as complete a state inspection. My car fob started acting up and they (halls Jeep) told me to take it to the Hyundai service center because they have the equipment to do so. I took it to the priority Hyundai and told them of the issue as well as reminded them that there was a recall issue relating to the software in the vehicle. After waiting 4 hours of back and forth, trying to find out what was going on with the car, I saw parked to the side. I asked about it and then another mechanic came and told me that they locked the car and were now unable to unlock it. I told them that there should be some emergency entrance, as all vehicle with a fob has a safety feature to unlock manually. After another while, the service manager decided that the locking issue might be due to the car not being updated (the recall issue) and gave me a loaner car. The service manager also said he did not know how to rectify it and that he would need to contact a different department in Hyundai. I received a call from the manager now saying that it is a mechanical issue and that they are not responsible for anything that happened to my car when they are fixing another issue. I now have a car that I can't lock/unlock and I am not sure what else is wrong due to the software issues. Th software recall does not address all the electrical issues and the dealerships don't know all the issues with the car.

A wire from the ac fan controller gets extremely hot and the fan controller melts. Could possibly be a fire hazard under the right circumstances.

My car has 3 recalls included safety recall and manufacturer engine issues recall. The dealer declined to repair my car the reason said its out of warranty, my car has 106k miles, as I know the recalls should be fixed no matter how many miles on the vehicle, or who is the owner of the vehicle, first or second. Now the Hyundai dealer ( key Hyundai dealer in manchester CT) asked me to pay them $195 plus parking fees $35 a day. I refuse to take my car back until they fix all recalls. And the car sitting there at the dealer since July 29th. I need your help please.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle and shifting into reverse (r), the vehicle failed to respond. The contact then shifted into drive (d), but the vehicle failed to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that he shifted into park (p), turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic several times, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 23v132000 (electrical system); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to schedule an appointment for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The manufacturer then referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

My ac unit switch melted due to the wires getting too hot and causing the unit to no longer work. I believe this is a safety issue due to possible fire with the wires getting burned. After doing some research this is a common issue in my car and I believe Hyundai should be required to replace my unit before it causes more damage inside the unit.

Climate control switch melted and caused a small fire. I had to pull my dash apart very quicky to put it out. The Hyundai dealership would not help me even though a 2014 elantra and Veloster has had technical service bulletins regarding this issue. They charged me 200$ dollars to tell me the switch melted even though I had already pulled it apart and showed them the issue. I spoke to Hyundai USA about it and they did not help me either. I bought the part and replaced it myself after the dealer tried to tell me it was almost 700$ for the repair. My son was in a panic because the cab of the car was filling with smoke as we were driving. No warnings or anything.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while shifting into gear, the vehicle failed to move. Upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle was fluttering.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

I am concerned with the notice of a recall which I received June 2023 concerning a possible electrical fault in the abs module which could cause a fire in the engine compartment. There is no fix available . I called my local Hyundai garage and the Hyundai corp office and they both told me the same thing and that is they do not have a fix and do not know when one will be available' I find this unacceptable and stalling by the Hyundai company I am told that I should park the car away from the house as it might catch fire wether the car is running or not. After 8 months I can only suppose the Hyundai company is ignoring the problem because it will cost them money I would be most grateful if you could light a fire under Hyundai, so to speak, so that they will solve this problem richard hunnisett.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v132000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000. VIN showed no open recall.

Unknown.

Unknown I'm not sure, I'm only scared what happens if this recalls isn't fixed sooner than expected so I can avoid unexpected issues or expensive repairs. . .

So the part that failed was the ac control unit, the car can be inspected. The ac fan know stopped working when inspected the connector itself has gotten so hot that the connector is scorched the know has had some separation on the inside and has created this faulty functionality of the ac controller unit ring. The car has been inspected by Hyundai and the recommendation was to replace the ac control unit at a substantial cost. There was no warning lamps as it is an a/c component issue. The symptoms were as follows the a/c worked then it would stop blowing you would have to bring it back to 0 or to the one position speed then move it back to the 4th and it would work fine, until it stopped working. The only positions that work now is 0 and 1. This started happening about 6 months ago for me.

There is a current recall since September, 2023, with no remedy to date. In addition, I have driven this vehicle very little after last having my car serviced at the dealership, just over a year now, which seemed to not be sounding right in the engine, so it alarmed me, and all started feeling overwhelming since going to the dealership for repairs. I see there is an engine recall on the 2015 Veloster, though not the 2014? yet they are claiming that both issues can cause fires. My vehicle has less than 100k miles if I remember correct from when I last looked. It's been months since I've even driven the vehicle, as I've not felt safe or comfortable doing so. My vehicle seems to have a lot of the same symptoms as the 2015 Veloster recall. I have been nervous to take it back to the same dealer, though I've also been too nervous to let just any mechanic look at it. When the dealer last changed my oil, a bunch leaked out in my driveway, and I was told there's a safety overflow. In addition, my oil light came on, and I was simply told they forgot to reset it.

The blower for the ac and heater stopped working. It evidently caught fire because there is a burnt smell. When I searched the problem, I noticed that you already did a recall for this but left out the 2013 models. This is extremely dangerous as it could catch fire while driving. Please add the 2013s to the recall.

The manual heater control unit, theinternal switch for the blower (fan) speed control become inoperative- the wire gets too hot and burns which makes this not work and could catch fire.

The safety recall on my vehicle has been open for nearly 7 months with a risk of fire. There is still no status as to when my vehicle can be serviced to prevent this risk of fire. I find this lack of urgency completely unacceptable considering the risk.

I was driving and the blower control switch stopped working and I had smoke coming out of my dash. Later my husband took it apart and the back of the switch and the part that plugged into the switch was burned. Without a blower, I don't have any defrost, fan, or ac option which could be dangerous in the winter if things ice over. We called Hyundai and they are very well aware of this issue and they said that we could replace it and the same thing could happen in 2 months and they aren't doing anything about it. This part was replaced once by the dealer while my car was under warranty. The only indication that there was a problem is when it stopped working along with the smoke issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact, a certified independent mechanic, stated upon servicing the vehicle, he noticed that the heater control wiring harness was burning up. The contact then cleaned the wiring harness with on contact cleaner. However, the contact stated that the vehicle began to overheat while in idle position. The contact diagnosed that the heater control wiring harness connector had burned up. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

I purchased my 2014 Hyundai Veloster as a cpo back in January of 2018 with approximately 37k miles. Currently it has 95,637 miles. Within the first couple months of ownership, I noticed that the vehicle was sporadically acting up during acceleration (specifically when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear). During this process it acts as if all of its power is shut off momentarily and then comes back on, which can potentially be dangerous when accelerating into high traffic areas, or busy intersections because not only does it lose acceleration power but steering as well. I brought it to the dealership right away, but because it never throws any trouble codes, nor does it happen on command - they cannot pin point the issue. Initially they changed the alternator. The second time, I believe, they changed the knock sensor or the camshaft position sensor. In short, I’ve brought it to the dealership several times and have filed numerous complaints to Hyundai consumer affairs, but to no avail. Most recently (March 2022), it happened when both of my stepchildren were in the car while we were returning from the beach. I accelerated from a traffic light and was going around a bend when it happened causing me to slam into the curb and caused nearly $1700 in damage, which I had to pay for out of pocket because at this point it is out of warranty- even though it’s been an ongoing issue pre-warranty lapse. Then to top it all off, I was leaving work this evening to go to an appointment and all of a sudden it began smoking from underneath the steering column. I quickly pulled into the turning lane and popped the fuse box lid open. Instantly I noticed that a wire harness was on fire, which luckily I was able to blow out after several attempts. I’m at my wit’s end with this car, with the dealership, and with Hyundai…. . I need help and don’t know what to do!.

Me and my who is currently pregnant was driving at a highway running 40mph when my car suddenly stalled. The engine died and my car is like on neutral. Thank god I was able to maneuver it to the sidelane and no one was injured. There were no warning lights whatsoever. I had to call a tow truck to bring it to my house. And since im very scared to use it again. And up to now the car is still not working, I wonder if its the engine or the alternator that caused the engine to die.

A few months ago, my abs and traction control lights began to come on and off randomly. Then, new lights would pop up, such as check engine and the brake light. These lights would come on, and then go off very sporadically. In the last week, it had gotten much worse. My tire pressure light and eps light had came on as well, totaling about 6 or 7 lights that are on and won't go off. Then, my steering wheel became increasingly hard to turn, I' m guessing because the eps was off. Then, my speedometer completely stopped working, and my gas gauge was jumping up and down after I had filled it to a full tank. I pulled the code, and got code for a wheel speed sensor. I replaced the wheel speed sensor, and no lights went off. I then inspected the fuses, noticed that the abs fuse was blown, and decided to replace it. I replaced it, and the abs module (or pump) started to smoke badly. The car had a heavy electrical smoke smell and I didn't think it was safe to drive for a while. Hyundais have had recalls for abs modules smoking before, but never for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, and I believe that is something that should be investigated because I believe I could have been injured.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19v204000 (electrical system, engine). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and had recall repair completed. The contact stated on 6/26/2022 while driving 60 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact continued driving to autozone and was informed that cylinder #4 had an unknown error code. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact took the vehicle to back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing all four fuel injectors replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,150.

Then wiring for the temperature control knob is faulty. When taken apart to see the problem it has very obviously melted from extreme overheating causing the plastic to deform and render the knob and a/c power button unusable. God only know what other electrical shorts and melted components are under the hood. They had a recall for other year models just not mine. Clearly it’s a universal issue and should be fixed accordingly.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle began to shake and vibrate. The contact pulled safely off of the highway and turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that she noticed an unknown warning light was illuminated. The contact waited approximately 10 minutes and restarted the vehicle and experienced the shaking and vibration throughout the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the engine failure to an open recall on her vehicle for NHTSA campaign number: 19v204000 (electrical system, engine). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

So the vehicle wants to hesitate and buck violently to the point of nearly stalling out while accelerating and prevents the car from being able to merge into highway traffic in a safe manner and the surrounding years make and model are all on a recall due to a e. C. U. Required update for a necessary reflashing for the ability to be use the automobile in the way it's designer/designers can make make want h. The severity and frequency of the problems are embarrassing and frustrating to be scared of risking my life being injured in a stalled/stalling vehicle without a power supply to navigate.

Car stalls out while driving. It happens randomly while on highways, going up or downhill, & while making turns. No warning light or sensors go off. It just shuts off and it is extremely dangerous. I’ve taken it to a Hyundai dealership on three different occasions. The first time they claimed it was due to carbon build up in the throttle body. So they cleaned it out and said it should be fine. I took it back two times after that for the same issue and was told because they can’t duplicate the problem there is nothing they can do. I have almost been in 3 accidents because of this. I have also discovered this is 1 of the too 3 problems that have been reported by Hyundai Veloster owners. Most people have been given no solution! that is totally unacceptable as this issue is to hazardous to ignore.

The electrical system was faulty since day one. When a turn signal is on and you turn the steering wheel that direction the light will turn off. This is so dangerous. The speed is also very iffy every time you break.
