2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

Air conditioning connecter/wire I burnt/burning making me feel uneasy and have a fear of vehicle catching on fire There were no warning lights or messages that notified. Found out by smell of burning plastic Hyundai dealership inspected but did not think it was a huge issue and notified me to just keep caution of burning smell (?)

Steering Coupling defect. Banging and clicking when using steering wheel. The Elantra and sonata coupling was recalled but Hyundai refuses to acknowledge that the same safety issues exists with the Veloster.

Steering coupler failure. Excessive play and loud clunking in steering column. Symptoms have increased over time. Vehicle has 64950 miles.

The plating on the wheels is coming off causing a safty hazzard.The dealer will not do anything about it.Wheel could break apart causing a accident.Wheels are available for inspection upon request.

Daughter almost was hit because car slipped out of drive while she was on the highway. Car is giving codes for crankshaft position sensor. I looked on YouTube and this problem seems very common. Why is car not going into gear because of these codes? Very dangerous.

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

I had a recall done on my car, and driving 10 mins from the shop it lost power. I called the shop they had me pull over and try shutting off the car and starting it back up which didn't work so i was told to drive back if i can make it , it took 25 mins with the throttle going up and down. They had it for about a hour or two and said it was the oil being low 2 qts. But, they put 3qts in, they got it working and 2 weeks later it did the same thing, I called and took it back they said it was the spark plugs and I had to pay for that. I explain to them I had no problems until the recall was done and they say the recall was good. So now we 2 months out and the thing which the recall was for is completely broken (Throttle /ECM). I was on Christmas vacation when it went into protection mode and I couldn't drive it. It showed no codes until I had mechanic come change out the throttle Body but it still doesn't work because these codes P0222 and P0123, which is the throttle position pedal. I had to tow the car back because that's not a regular carried part for auto parts stores. What's the next steps on getting this fixed because Hyundai refuse to fix it.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while his granddaughter was driving 65 MPH, an abnormal booming sound emitted from the vehicle as the vehicle shutoff without warning. Due to the failure, his granddaughter had the vehicle towed to his home where he discovered that the compression rod bearing had blown threw the engine block. The contact stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My AC/Heating unit has stopped functioning. Upon researching online, this appears to be a common problem in these vehicles. After opening the section of the vehicle that contains the faulty part, melting/burn marks are observed. This appears to be a fire hazard.

The contact owned a 2012 Hyundai Veloster equipt with Lexani LXUHP207 tires size 215/40/18. The contact stated that after purchasing the new tires the daughter was driving approximately 65 mph when the rear passenger side tire experienced sidewall separation causing the daughter to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a guard rail. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. No injuries were reported. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the incident. The VIN was not available.
