Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Hyundai Veloster - part 1

After an update for a recall for brake issues, the dealership updated the knock sensor update without my consent. After the knock sensor software was installed, my 2012 Hyundai Veloster will not operate without going into protection mode. Hyundai states that they can not reverse the software update to make my vehicle operable again. This has already come up as a safety concern as my wife was on the interstate when the vehicle shut down in 70+ mph traffic.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the local dealer for an unknown recall repair. Upon retrieving the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The reverse and drive gears were inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where an unknown diagnosis was provided. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the transmission was inoperable, the starter, the engine light were blinking, and the vehicle was slow to move. There was smoke coming from the vehicle. There was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The component that failed is acceleration. He came from work at the frywed when he reduced the speed from 65 to 30 and no longer accelerated . . If an independent service had no warning or failure at that time they were detected.

The car lost power gradually ;when I was driving ; we were on the freeway and I couldn’t continue driving 60 miles per hour , therefore I turned on the turn signals cause I just could drive at 35 miles per hour and the car just start shaking ; I just look for the next exit by the time we were on risk on the emergency lane for along time cause the next exit was to far from there . And the car was too slow ,when we finally got exit I call and I stop my car and call the mechanic to ask for help and he help me plug in the scanner machine to my car and there was a problem with some cylinders and one valve and I decided to called to the dealer to get an appointment:. My vehicule already was checking for Hyundai but they just text me a message ; they said my car needs to replace a motor ,turbo ; some broken valves causing zero pounds of compression on cylinder 4-long block repair-new intake and exhaust manifolds (including turbo)required due to broken valve sending metal through the entire system -quote long block/intake and exhaust manifolds /turbo /all necessary gaskets and fluids for repair : I just was noted my car was consuming too much oil, cause the car board showed me 3 weeks ago and I need to add oil ,and the mechanic plugged in the scanner; but it doesn’t showed something else ;therefore 3 weeks ago I added 1/4 or more ; then was 2 week ago; I added 1/4 of oil again and then just last week I added 1/4 or more oil again ;I just was checking the oil constantly. ; and it should be noted that the car was not leaking oil but I didn’t understand why it was running out so quickly .

As I was driving on the highway I started losing power and a warning of transmission over heating appeared on screen. I let the car sit and cool down and when I started it up again the same issue persisted, I had the car towed home. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk since I was driving and highway speed and car just slowed down during rush hour traffic. The vehicle has not been expected at this time.

Engine blinking and smell burnt while driving, abs button turn on automatically.

Today the vehicle was hesitant to start but did. After two stops I turned car off, went into a business. When I came out the car would start but would not go forward or backwards but rev up. I nearly slammed into a curb in the process. I have a video of this.

I have issues with past recalls, but they are not showing up in this list. I had a body throttle recall and 5 minutes after it was fixed it broke down and then again a week after and a month after altogether until the body throttle had to be replaced. I had the knock sensor recall done and now it went off code p-1326 is showing with a check engine light and it only drives 62mph. I mean the engine is bad and may catch on fire, and need to be replaced. Yes, the dealer knows and is waiting for my car to be put on the engine replacement list, which has been over 4 months now. There is a lawsuit to change it but Hyundai is not doing it.

I have had the abs checked by Hyundai dealership per recall and they told me there was no issues, but I’m having a lot of problems with accelerating, and it shifting gears, I don’t think the system is really diagnosing, whenever I turn my car on sometimes it will do a diagnostic read, but it can’t send data, and it will take a while for the system to reset itself. It does smell like my car is smoking and I will have to physically roll my window down and/or poke my head out the window to make sure it’s not smoking. I’m checking my temperature gauge in my car to make sure it id within normal range. And when the check engine light comes on, sometimes it will come up and will blink for a few seconds and then disappear. Then I will go to o’reilly’s or advanced auto zone to get a reading the common codes that have come up were p0401, p0442,.

On February 24, 2023, my 2019 Hyundai Veloster turbo (~36k miles) would not accelerate and began losing power while driving. Problem seemed to be worse while driving uphill. At one point, car would also not go into reverse. Turning car off and then on seemed to resolve the issue with reverse. Similar issue occurred in early November 2022. Local Hyundai service center performed maintenance under warranty on the transmission November 7. Between November 7 and February 24, there were no observable issues with the vehicle while driving.

On 08/17/2022, we had to have the car towed to the dealer for a very concerning issue. My son was driving down a major highway (middle lane) and as he attempted to accelerate, the car was not responding. It was like the car went into neutral and the rpms went up, but there was absolutely no acceleration. It was scary as he had traffic all around him and needed to get over to the breakdown lane. He finally got over and the car would not move forward or reverse. The check engine light also came on, so we had the car towed once again to the dealer. Once there, they looked it over and said it needed a new map sensor. They also stated that they thought the problem was with the dct control module. They said that they needed to do a retest of the dct control module and followed through with that. When I went to pick up the vehicle, I was told that the car was working properly, but they couldn’t be sure that it wouldn’t happen again. If the same thing happened again then they would need to replace the dct control module. After paying $800 to have my car fixed, I didn’t feel very hopeful. It makes you pretty anxious to drive a car that just loses power out of nowhere. Under normal conditions, losing acceleration on a major highway could severely affect the driver’s ability to control the vehicle and maintain a safe speed in traffic. This could cause a major accident. Here we go again. On 09/23/2022, my son was driving down the highway when he suddenly lost power again. The same scenario played out once again, only this time he didn’t have much room to pull over. He was forced to pull over in an accident-prone area of 77 south with a cement barrier next to him. Soon, he saw police lights behind him. The police officer was very concerned with getting the car towed quickly and showed my son the skid marks on the pavement from a previous accident. Now the dealer is saying its the transmission and transmission control module. This car is very unsafe to drive.

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.

My car is changing gears while im driving- I will appear to lose immediate power to the vehicle only to see that the car that was in drive, going 65 miles per hour, drops down to 20 in seconds and is now in 2nd gear or neutral ! other issues- put the car in drive from park and it jumps to neutral- put car in drive- stays in drive position but satys in neutral - put the car in park but car thinks its in reverse - blew a piston at 65000 miles - Hyundai refused to help me for 5 months - tried to sell me a new engine -- this has been happenng for 2 years - I will list the latest event below.

Connecting rod failure. A test was ran on my car and this code came up even though my check engine light was off. There is a rattling when accelerating and a decrease in speed when accelerating. The rattling began a little less than a year ago so I took it to a shop but they said it couldn’t be fixed because the engine is enclosed. Basically to fix this issue I would need an entire new engine and it is already causing major issues on my vehicle. This is a safety issue because the engine could just fail.

When pressing the gas pedal at a lower speed, the engine would hesitate and the car would not increase in speed. . . Regardless of how hard I pressed. This has been randomly happening for the past few weeks. Today I received a recall notice in the mail and will be bringing the vehicle in. Just wanted to make sure that the company was aware for reporting purposes. Thank you.

Losing power in engine while driving and or idle at stop lights. Decrease in acceleration. Car not starting up right away.

Power loss engine stalling flashing check engine light won’t accelerate.

I have had to replace the turbo and radiator. I have replaced the coil packs and spark plugs 3 times since I received the car and now the transmission is acting up. I bought the car Dec 2020 and it has left me stranded on the side of the road 4 times already from the engine malfunctioning.

I was stopped at a stop sign and upon stepping on the gas, I noticed that the car would not accelerate. It was making a humming sound similar to if it were in neutral. I cannot seem to have any power when shifting into sport mode getting onto the highway and does not accelerate at all. It makes an odd noise. I felt car hiccup at first when accelerating. This could be a dct issue and could be safety issue also. Car is at approx 77,000 miles at this time. Similar acceleration issues reported with this vehicle by myself prior although not this severe and sport mode was working fine.

The speed control panel is not working and the horn is not working either.

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

Veloster Hyundai's 7-speed dct contains a design defect in the transmission control module (tcm) that causes, among other problems, failure to shift, stalling, delayed acceleration, or loss of power. �these conditions are hazardous because they severely affect the driver's ability to control the vehicle during normal driving conditions and prevent drivers from accelerating to maintain safe speeds in traffic,�.

My 2012 Hyundai Veloster stall and have a funny smell my car stall at a red light had to call the police to get it off the road.

Driving down the freeway, started to accelerate in sport mode, heard something pop. Sounded like the clutch slipped or a belt broke. Lost most acceleration. Got off freeway to take side streets home. Had a lot of trouble accelerating up hill. Would accelerate but very slowly. Not on pace with gears. Was shifting weird. Both in d and s. Took me about 4 blocks to get from 0 to 25mph.

Driving on interstate, all lights flashed on, engine light remained on and my car stalled and would not accelerate. I had to take it out of drive, put it in sport mode and then back to drive. It would shake violently if I went above 45 miles an hour, I was 130 miles from home. This is not first time this has happened, have made previous complaints.

This has actually happened multiple times, each time when turning. The first time was turning left out of a parking lot, my car refused to accelerate, I had to put it into neutral and then back into drive, it finally started driving. The second time, was driving and turned left into an intersection and it just stopped. I had to turn it off and then on again before it would move. I am lucky no one was behind me. The 3rd time I was not alone in the car and again I turned left into an intersection and it just stopped. Emergency blinkers on and again, I had to turn off the car and turn it on again for it it move. The most recent was this morning when I turned right and like before, it just wouldn't move. I had to turn emergency blinkers on, and turn off and turn on car again. Living in a busy city with people that are not paying attention all the time, this is really starting to be worrisome.

To make a very long story short, I was driving to work and my car suddenly exploded and oil spewed out towards the rear. I had to get my engine replaced in late 2017 due to the engine throwing a rod. It took 3 months to repair because the dealership was behind due to other people having engine malfunctions. It took weeks to get a rental which was hectic because me and my husband both worked and commuted with a 2-year old. After my husband drove my car off the lot, my car was sounding a little funny, almost like a sucking nose that we ended up having to take back to the dealership to have them tell me that I needed to pay a diagnostic charge even though my car was well under warranty limit. I ended up speaking with the manager and he had the technician look at it to only be told it was nothing engine related even though my engine light was on! a few months after that, my car started losing power and was inoperable. I had it towed to the same dealership only to be told that I needed another engine replacement! the dealership told me that I would be responsible to pay since they already took care of it the first time. The cost to repair would have been over what the value of my car is. Me and my husband had to leave my car at the dealership since it was not drive-able and they ended up selling the vehicle at auction for $1700 in February 2019. I recently just found out that my car is under recall for the same reasons it was in the shop the first 3 times. Hyundai concludes that the 2013 Veloster were having engine and mechanical issues. I have a recall number and have spoke to 3 different departments to see what I can do to resolve the balance I have left to pay on the car of $8710. I knew there must have been an issue since the last few times I've went to the dealership there were a lot of vehicles needing engine replacements. This has been frustrating to deal with.

Car is now hesitating upon acceleration and sounding louder than usual as well. Rpm is not moving up much and harder to speed up, even in sport mode. Dangerous when needing to go at relatively high speeds (onto highway onramps etc).

Veloster turbo dct model. When the car isn't fully warmed up, the car suddenly loses power upon medium to hard acceleration. Pressing the accelerator increases engine revs and transmission actually shifts, but no power is being put to the wheels. You have to fully lift off the accelerator and then depress again to get power back. For example, accelerating to merge into freeway traffic is dangerous as it loses power as you are merging and could easily be rear ended. Or turning left across traffic, if the vehicle loses power mid turn you could be hit by oncoming traffic. Happens every time you have medium to hard acceleration when the vehicle isn't fully warmed up. Has happened too many times to number. There is video documentation on the internet of same problem.

�takata recall� my Veloster has been stalling since I leased it there's always a problem when speeding up and has been taken to the dealership for service more than 3 times for the same problem and has been out of service for more than 35 days this has happened to me on highway, stationary and on streets it's u just that I have to pay for a vehicle like this when I should be getting my moneys worth.

I believe this vehicle has a severe safety-affecting problem with the programming of it's engine control unit. Under certain conditions, mostly (but not always) while the engine is cold or cool, the vehicle occasionally will not respond to inputs from the throttle pedal. This occurs while the road is clean and dry - I want to stress that this is not a manifestation of traction control. During these incidents even if the throttle pedal is fully depressed the car will only accelerate very slowly. When this occurs, varying the amount of throttle has no affect. More worryingly, this evening, the reduction in power was so severe that the car would not accelerate at all. The reduction in acceleration persists as long as your foot remains on the throttle pedal, regardless of the distance you may have travelled during the incident. Normal throttle behavior only returns once you fully release the throttle pedal, then reapply throttle. All of the above occurs on flat streets and highways. This is a fault in the engine control unit or transmission control unit's programming. In a merging scenario, such an unexpected and comprehensive reduction in acceleration is a severe safety hazard that I believe warrants the NHTSA's attention.

Electronic gear motor overheated and left vehicle in overdrive on the highway in stopped/slowed traffic. Once in park or neutral, transmission is disabled and will not go into any gear. Had to push the vehicle off the road to have towed. Dealer called the part the 'gear motor actuator' and that he has done numerous replacements and the problem is ongoing.

Accelerating by itself, lunging in stop/go traffic. Motor revs into passing gear all the way to 6500 rpm . But stays in the current speed, and sometimes will hold at certain rpm even if not on gas , very laggy in rev I feel I'm driving older car with messed up transmission.

1) steering wheel remote controls for radio & phone have been intermittent since original purchase; 2) air conditioning system does not completely restrict outside/engine warm air coming into cabin when not using a/c, for instance when windows down; 3) clock does not work consistently (it only recently just started working all by itself.
