2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE AC CONTROL MODULE 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE UNIT BURNS OUT AND MELTS THE PLASTIC CONNECTORS THAT PLUG INTO THE BACK OF THE PANEL. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITHIN THE VELSOTER COMMUNITY. AND HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2013 VELSOTERS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS DO TO YOU CAN ONLY BUY THIS PART AT THE DEALER FOR $279.99

SO WHEN LEAVING FROM A COMPLETE STOP IN DRIVE LETTING OFF THE BRAKE PETAL, AND LETTING THE VEHICLE START ROLLING ITSELF IN DRIVE WILL START VIBRATING AND MAKING CLUNKING METAL NOISES. WILL KEEP DOING IT UNLESS I EITHER DO TWO OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PETAL, OR PUSH ON THE BREAKS AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AND WHEN THE VEHICLES FRONT WHEELS ARE TURNED WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT'S 2 TIMES WORSE. IT DOES IT ABOUT 2-3 TIMES DAILY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO FIX UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THEY CLAIM THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE THO BECAUSE OF THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM I KEEP FACING. PLEASE MAYBE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOMETHING SEND NOT RIGHT.

UPON TURNING AND GOING OVER ANY KIND OF SIGNIFICANT BUMPS OR UNEVEN SURFACES THE VEHICLE FISH-TALES FROM THE BACK. I HAVE TRIED IT ON DIFFERENT STREETS TO ENSURE ITS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO A SMALL PATCH OF UNEVEN ROAD. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES OVER THE SAME FREEWAY SPOT TO ENSURE IT WAST JUST MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOT GET THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO WITH MY VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN COMING TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP AND THEN PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY, EITHER IT WAITS TO ENGAGE AFTER THE CAR REACHES 4,000 RPM OR JERKS SUDDENLY INTO GEAR BOTH OCCUR ARE ON A DAILY BASIS. ANOTHER KEY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE HAPPENS WHEN TAKING MY FOOT FIRMLY OFF THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ON A HILL, PER THE MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO WAIT ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS ON A HILL TO ALLOW ME TIME TO STEP ON THE GAS TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AND PREVENT ROLLBACK INTO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES BEHIND ME HOWEVER IT IS EITHER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY OR DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING IN RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 22 MPH, THE DRIVER HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE INTERIOR COLOR COATING ON DASH STARTED PEELING ON DRIVERS SIDE (SMALL SPOT AREA) IN 2017. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR PANEL AND WINDOW BUTTON AREA IS NOW PEELING. CORNCERNED THIS WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT VEHICLE AND STILL INVESTING IN THIS CAR. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, NO REASON FOR PEELING.

TRUNK RELEASE KEEPS UNLOCKING AND MAKING SOUND WHEN I START CAR OR STOP CAR. SOMETIMES UNABLE TO OPEN TRUNK AS WELL. SAFETY ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE ISSUE MECHANICALLY AND HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE, CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN, AND CROSSED THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, AND BACK INJURIES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED MIKE MILLER HYUNDAI (2007 W PIONEER PKWY, PEORIA, IL 61615, (888) 372-7350) AND LEFT A VOICE MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER (19,038 MILES). UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. RECENTLY, SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, STALLED, HAD VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP SAYS FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER LED TO LOWER ENGINE FAILURE. REPORTED UNIT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WOULD BE OVER A MONTH TO GET A SHORT BLOCK FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER MODELS WITH EXCESSIVE EXHAUST TEMPS CAUSING FAILURES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO REOCCUR. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILING ON NEW CARS AND CERTAINLY NOT TWICE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED SATURDAY FEB 16, 2019. CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.
