2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

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. *TR

I WAS DRIVING, DOING APPROX 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HEARD A POP AND THEN IT STARTED TO RAIN GLASS FROM MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF THAT WAS SHATTERING ALL OVER ME. I HAD GLASS IN MY HAIR, CUTS ON MY FOREHEAD AND I HAVE A HUGE LUMP ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD FROM WHERE I WAS HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A BIGGER PIECE OF GLASS. WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T HAVE A CONCUSSION, WHICH I DO NOT, HOWEVER, I AM VERY SORE FROM MY NECK UP TO THE TOP OF MY HEAD. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISER ACTED SURPRISED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED AND SAID TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO FILE A COMPLAINT SINCE HE STATED IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED ON ITS OWN, THAT SOMETHING HAD TO HAVE HIT IT. HOW SAD IT IS TO COME HOME TO SEE THAT THE 2012 MODEL OF MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE SAME CHALLENGE AND WAS UNDER RECALL AND NOW I AM SEEING THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2013 OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SUNROOF AS I AM. *JS

HELLO, THIS REPORT IS NOT FOR A PARTICULAR INCIDENT, HOWEVER IT IS WIDESPREAD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (60 MPH AND ABOVE),THE VEHICLE'S STEERING BECOMES UNEXPECTEDLY HEAVY, AND IT SEEMINGLY TAKES AN UNUSUAL (AND POSSIBLY, MOMENTARILY ALARMING) AMOUNT OF STEERING EFFORT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE "CENTERED" ON THE ROAD. *TR
