2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

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.

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.

Hyundai denied my claim for reimbursement for an engine issue. They stated that the VIN is not included in the recall. However, my mechanic is the one who bought the issue to my attention. He believes this recall should also apply to this vehicle. He said he is willing to discuss the repair with any interested parties. My mechanic is Auto Accents located in Lakewood NJ. His name is Nick and he can be reached at 732-905-5088. I only ask that review the attached receipt, speak with my mechanic, and consider adding this VIN to the recall.

Replaced the manual climate control on my 2013 hyundai veloster. The connector to the unit is melted.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle and became aware that the intake manifold was fractured into two pieces. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,931.

On five separate occasions the vehicle engine has shut off completely while driving in traffic. Fortunately my wife was able to coast to the side of the road, but in all instances a serious road hazard and danger to safety for both us as well as the public was created. We are now no longer driving the vehicle out of fear of our safety. We have contacted the Hyundai dealership where all the prior 4+ years of service has been done, as well as Hyundai USA. Both have said they will not investigate. After the first two occurrences, I was told the original engine needed to be replaced due to metal shavings in the internal components. This is the exact same reason for the recent global recall, however Hyundai said our model was not covered under the warranty even though it was the same issue. We had the Hyundai Dealership replace the engine and within one month it happened again. This time they said the catalytic converter/exhaust manifold had failed again (this was the third catalytic converter). Since then, the engine has shut off two more times while driving. A local certified mechanic has inspected it and said he has seen several similar problems with other Hyundai vehicles. Hyundai USA refuses to address the issue.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65+ MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. I PULLED OVER AND ALL LIGHTS ON CLUSTER POPPED ON AT THE SAME TIME (CHECK ENGINE, LOW OIL, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, LOW BATTERY, ETC), AND THEN LIGHTS TURNED OFF. THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES WHEN READ WITH A OBD SCANNER. CAR STILL RAN, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE, ALL POWER WAS LOST. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD CLOGGED, AND FOR SOME REASON DID NOT THROW AN ERROR CODE. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING, AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DON'T WORK AT ALL, AND CLICKING SOUND COME FROM THE FRONT WHEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT, THAT'S SOUND IS CONSTANTLY ALL TIME, I SEE A LOT OF POST AND SAME CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI DON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS, I SEND THE CAR TO REPLACE THE CV AXLES AND SAME PROBLEM SOUND.

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, USED FROM CARMAX, THE LIGHTING ON THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED TURNING ON AND WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND WHILE TURNING. . IT NO LONGER COMES ON AT ALL AND NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS WORK ANYMORE EITHER, NOR DOES MY HORN.

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.
