THE STEERING OF THE VELOSTER IS SHAKEY AND THE EPS BECOMES TIGHT TO CONTROL WHILE OPPERTATING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHANGING LANES AND THE SLIGHT TURN OF A CURVE, CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RESIST THE ACTION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO MAKES A CLUNKY NOISE WHILE TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT IN OPERATION AT ANY SPEED IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO OPERATE WHILE PASSING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, TAKING CURVES AND EXITS OFF THE HIGHWAY. PRESENTED THE ISSUE TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE COUPLER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THE PART IS MINIMAL BUT THE LABOR WAS EXPENSIVE. RESERACH SHOWS THE COUPLER OF THE SAME YEAR AS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES HOWEVER THE VELOSTER HAS YET TO BE RECALLED.

CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED. DROVE HOME COULD NOT GET TRUNK/TAIL GATE OPEN. KEY FLOB DID NOT WORK ON TRUNK BUT DID WORK ON ALL SIDE CAR DOORS. I HAD TO CLIMB INTO TRUNK THRU BACK SEAT TO GET GROCERIES OUT OF CAR TRUNK. I AM VERY CLOSE TO BEING 72 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS A COMPLETE STRUGGLE GETTING IN AND OUT OF TRUNK THRU BACK SEAT ESPECIALLY ON SLANTED DRIVEWAY.

ON SATURDAY 2-28-2015, I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STOPPED RESPONDING. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE SO THE SURROUNDING CARS WERE ALREADY ALERT AND SLOWING DOWN. HOWEVER, I WAS RAPIDLY LOSING SPEED AND COULD NOT KEEP UP OR ACCELERATE. I DRIFTED THE CAR INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, WHERE THEN THE CAR DIED. I CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THROUGH. A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED. HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START EITHER. WE HAD MY CAR TOWED SINCE I WAS INTERFERING WITH A MAJOR HIGHWAY'S TRAFFIC FLOW. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP I WAS TOWED TO WAS JUST BEGINNING TO CLOSE. THEY SAID THEY COULD START THE PAPERWORK AND STORE MY CAR THERE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT UNTIL MONDAY. COME MONDAY MORNING, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ERROR AND THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. HOWEVER, SINCE I WAS STILL WITHIN MY WARRANTY, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE HOTEL AND TOW. IN SUMMER 2018, I TOOK THE SAME CAR INTO THE SHOP TO GET SERVICED FOR A SEPARATE ISSUE (THE CAR'S CLOCK WAS CONSTANTLY EITHER TOO FAST/SLOW DESPITE TAKING IT TO A DOZEN DEALERSHIPS TO GET 'FIXED'). AT THAT TIME I ALSO SAID THE CAR JUMPS AND DOESN'T RESPOND SMOOTHLY. I WAS WORRIED I WAS GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE LIKE THE HIGHWAY STALL. AFTER MANY CONVERSATIONS, THE DEALERSHIP & HYUNDAI CORPORATE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VELOSTER DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. A QUICK GOOGLE/YOUTUBE SEARCH SHOWS HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CAR RANDOMLY REVVING OR ACTING UP. ATTACHED IS THE PHONE CALL RECORDING OF MY INITIAL CONVERSATION WITH HYUNDAI AS WELL AS THE RECEIPTS THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR. (WHICH TOOK 2 AND A HALF YEARS)

CAR HAS BEGAN DOING THIS OFTEN NOW. AT 115K MILES. START THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, CAR WON'T MOVE. PUT IT IN REVERSE. SAME ISSUE. HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND REPEAT UNTIL IT MOVES. OCCASIONALLY I'LL STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND GO TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AND AGAIN, IT WON'T MOVE. ENGINE JUST REVS. HAVE TO REPEAT ABOVE UNTIL IT MOVES. REPLACED CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND KNOCK SENSOR. DIDN'T FIX IT. NOW THE CAR DIES WHILE IN PARK AND STALLS BETWEEN 15-2000 RPM. THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND NO ONE HAS A SOLID ANSWER. AND NO RECALL. INSANE. TAKING IT TO HYUNDAI AND CONSIDERING A LAWSUIT WITH MY EVIDENCE AND ALL THE OTHER FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS.

HYUNDAI VELOSTER 2012 - TRAVELLING IN LEFT LANE OF DIVIDED 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, BRAKED AND SLIGHTLY VEERED TO LEFT SUDDENLY AS VEHICLE IN RIGHT LANE MOVED INTO LEFT LANE IN FRONT AT SLOWER RATE OF SPEED. WITH VERY LITTLE LEFT SHOULDER, VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASSY DAMP MEDIAN. DUE TO LOSS OF TRACTION, WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE, HAD CHOICE OF HITTING TREES/CREEK OR CONCRETE BRIDGE SUPPORT. VEHICLE HIT BRIDGE SUPPORT STILL TRAVELING AT 45-65MPH HEAD ON, THEN SWUNG AROUND SO LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER VEHICLE SCRAPED ON THE BRIDGE SUPPORT FROM FRONT BUMPER TO REAR SEAT. VEHICLE SUFFERED MAJOR DAMAGE TO FRONT END, TORE OFF MIRROR, DOOR HANDLE AND BROKE ALL GLASS ON LEFT SIDE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. DRIVER WAS STRUCK BY AN OBJECT IN VEHICLE CAUSING A SEVERE LACERATION ACROSS EYELID FROM NOSE, UP ACROSS EYEBROW. ABOUT 1.5" LONG, CUT TO BONE. SIDE WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED RESULTING IN SEVERAL PIECES EMBEDDING IN VARIOUS BODY PARTS AND MANY SHARP SLIVERS OF GLASS ALL OVER. HAD AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, PARTICULARLY THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG, WE FEEL THAT THE DRIVER MAY HAVE AVOIDED THE INJURY TO THE EYE WHICH WILL REQUIRE RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY TO REPAIR. WIPER WASHER STALK BROKE OFF FROM STEERING WHEEL WITH THE OUTER PORTION COMPLETELY COMING APART WITH A 2-3" PROTRUDING PLASTIC CORE WHICH WE BELIEVE CAUSED THE EYE INJURY DUE TO BLOOD ON THE ITEM. OTHER POSSIBILITY WOULD BE THE REARVIEW MIRROR. IN EITHER CASE WE FEEL THAT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD HAVE PREVENT FACE FROM CONTACTING EITHER OF THOSE ITEMS.

ON SATURDAY, 3/30/2013, I ENTERED MY GARAGE AT 04:00 A.M. AND FOUND THAT THE SUNROOF OF MY 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER HAD EXPLODED (DETONATED) SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT. GLASS FRAGMENTS COVERED THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR TO INCLUDE THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE CAR. ON FRIDAY, 3/29/2013, I HAD THE SUNROOF OPEN FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE 50 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR INSIDE THE GARAGE THE SUNROOF CLOSED FINE AND WAS NOT SHATTERED. THE CAR REMAINED PARKED IN THE GARAGE UNTIL I DISCOVERED THE EVENT THE NEXT MORNING. I ENTERED THE CAR TO RETRIEVE SOME PERSONAL ITEMS AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 P.M. ON THE 29TH AND THE SUN ROOF WAS FINE. SO. SOMETIME BETWEEN 9:00 P.M. AND 04:00 THE EVENT OCCURRED. I HAVE A FINISHED GARAGE, WITH A SHEETROCK CEILING. NOTHING FELL ON MY ROOF! I CAN'T IMAGINE THE RESULTING EFFECTS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. *TR
