. WHEN I BOUGHT IT IT HAD 98,000 KM ON IT. STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD ALL THE RECALLS FROM A FEW YEARS AGO DONE TO BRING IT ALL UP TO DATE. I RELIGIOUSLY CHANGED THE OIL, ROTATED TIRES, FLUIDS UPDATED, NEW BATTERY, ETC. IN 6 YEARS I HAVE PUT 8000KM ON THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MY DAUGHTERS A FEW WEEKS AGO IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF FOURTH GEAR? THIS HAPPENED THE ONE TIME AND NO LIGHTS CAME ON? THEN LAST THURSDAY I WENT TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE TO HELP OUT WITH THE UNPACKING AND ON THE DRIVE HOME MY CAR GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR! I COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF THIRD GEAR UNTIL I ONCE POPPED THE CLUTCH AND OUT IT CAME. SHIFTING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, FOR A WHILE THEN I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO INTO ANY GEAR! I AM ON MY WAY HOME IN RUSH OUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR BUT SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR? BY REVING UP THE ENGINE TO ABOUT 4000 AND LETTING THE CLUTCH OUT SLOWLY WHILE REVING IT WOULD SLOWLY START GOING AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD BE GOING OK STUCK IN WHATEVER GEAR BUT THERE WERE TRAFFIC LIGHTS!! I HAD TO PULL OVER ONCE AND HAD THE POLICE PULL IN BEHIND ME. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO HER WHAT WAS HAPPENING SHE SAID SHE UNDERSTOOD HER BROTHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM? I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT HOME IN THE SCARIEST RIDE EVER (THROUGH 2 RED LIGHTS AND A STOP SIGN) AND IT WAS SMOKING AND STINKING! NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH INSURANCE ($1200 YR.) ON IT AND 1.5 YEARS LEFT ON THE LOAN ($288.00) A MONTH. 50% OF MY INCOME GOES TO RENT. I LIVE CHEQUE TO CHEQUE. MY MOST IMPORTANT LIFELINE IS MY CAR AND NOW I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND IT WON'T DRIVE. IS THERE NOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME THING ON THE SAME CAR AND SAME YEAR IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. 6,000KM OVER THE WARRANTY AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES? I DROVE IT 8000KM IN 6 YEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES? WHAT KIND OF GRACE DO YOU GIVE ON KM OVER 100KM WARRANTIES.

MY CAR HAS CODE OF P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. THE MECHANIC I HAVE HAD LOOK INTO THE CAUSE HAS SUGGESTED REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. IT'S A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER 1.6 LITER NON-TURBO, THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST RECALLS ON YOUR SITE. MY VEHICLE THOUGH IS NOT INCLUDED AND I FEEL IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE DUE TO HAVING CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO DESIGN FLAW IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR FAILURES.

Car was taken to the dealership for two active recalls. The dealership began with 966 Engine Monitoring Logic Recall. An error code was received after the computer was updated during the Recall. The display panel now displays all gears as E, and now when the dealership drives it the car has a stall. The dealership states the transmission must be replaced. From my understanding it all is related to software. It is still with the dealership, Hyundai is refusing to cover this since the car is out of warranty. This defect is directly from the recall.

HYUNDAI/NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR 2015-2016 VELOSTER 1.6 ENGINES FOR CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURES, AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING AND KNOWN FOR YEARS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO 2011-2018 1.6L GDI MOTORS USED IN HYUNDAI AND KIA VEHICLES, WHICH ALL HAVE ISSUES WITH ROD BEARING FAILURES. THE ROD BEARING IS GOING OUT ON MY VELOSTER THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR RECALL FOR THE MOTOR IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE GOING ON ON ALL MODEL YEARS. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE RUNNING ENGINE WITH THE ROD BEARING NOISE BUT IT EXCEEDS THE FILE LIMIT SIZE. THE LINK IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I UPLOADED.

THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A COUPLE YEARS AGO I HAD TO GET AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT DUE TO OIL OVER CONSUMPTION. THE SAME ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HELPFUL WITH GETTING THE SITUATION FIGURED OUT.

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.

THIS CARS ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT'S IN DRIVE ETC. MY HUSBAND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR FLAT DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WENT FORWARD CRUSHING HIM AGAINST THE HOUSE. I PULLED THE CAR BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IT SAID IT WAS IN PARK TO FREE HIM. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. WILL BE CONTACTED A LAWYER BECAUSE THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO FROM MY RING DOORBELL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHERE IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ON 3XS BEFORE IT WILL GO INTO GEAR. HYUNDAI DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

IT STARTED WITH MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THEN I NOTICED WHEN AT A STOP IT FELT LIKE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THEN WHEN IT WAS DARK MY NEIGHBOR NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I RESEARCHED THESE THREE PROBLEMS THAT APPEARED WITHIN THE SAME DAY, AND FOUND THAT THE "BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH" IS CAUSING ALL THREE ISSUES. ALSO, GOINGS RECALLS FOR OTHER MODELS OF HYUNDAI FOR THIS PART BUT APPARENTLY NOT MINE.

I WAS LOSING OIL WITHOUT AN OBVIOUS OIL LEAK. THE PSI IN THE 3RD CYLINDER WAS 90 AND WHEN SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED THE NEW ONES WERE COVERED IN OIL. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED HYUNDAI MECHANIC AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT AND SUBMIT A REPAIR ASSISTANCE REQUEST AS I WAS THE SECOND OWNER AND THE CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD WITH 80,000 MILES. IT COST $700 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. HYUNDAI DENIED THE REPAIR ASSISTANCE REQUEST AND I HAD TO PAY $700 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. NEITHER THE REPAIR SHOP OR HYUNDAI THOUGHT TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE DOING SO WOULD HAVE LIKELY MADE HYUNDAI RESPONSIBLE LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER ENGINE RECALLS THEY ARE DEALING WITH. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MYSELF.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH AC FUNCTION BEFORE STOPPING ALTOGETHER ALONG WITH THE AC CONTROL KNOB MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I NOTICED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL AND INVESTIGATED BEHIND THE REMOVABLE CENTER PANEL OF THE DASH AND DISCOVERED THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE CONTROL KNOB HAD EXPERIENCED MELTING ENOUGH TO DEFORM AND CHAR THE WIRING HARNESS END ALONG WITH THE BACKSIDE OF THE AC CONTROL KNOB. NO SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE AND A GOOGLE SEARCH NOT ONLY WILL SHOW MANY OTHERS WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS BUT ANY PHOTOS APPEAR TO MIRROR THE DAMAGE MINE RECEIVED. HYUNDAI OF AMERICA REACHED OUT AND STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO LOOK INTO OR COVER THE DAMAGE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE NOT ONLY BURNED MY CAR DOWN BUT ALSO POSE A RISK FOR LIFE AND PROPERTY AROUND ME. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT A FAULT THAT SEEMINGLY IS GOING UNADDRESSED. *TR

ON FRIDAY, 1/31/19, MY SON AS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OIL INDICATOR LIGHT WENT ON. HE TOOK THE CAR (MY12 HYUNDAI VELOSTER) TO PEP BOYS FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING MORNING, SAT. 2/1/20, AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND ADVISED THE OIL SEEMED TO BE BURNING FASTER THAN NORMAL, BUT DID AN OIL CHANGE. THEY ADVISED IF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, TO TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI. THEY ALSO ADVISED WE WOULD NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES APPROX. EVERY 3K MILES, RATHER THAN 5-7K MILES. NO CONCERN WAS COMMUNICATED TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY, SUNDAY, 2/2/20, HE WAS ENTERING THE 605 FWY (SOUTH) AT FIRESTONE BLVD IN NORWALK, CA AND HE HEARD A RATTLING IN THE ENGINE, THEN SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE PULLED THE CAR OVER ON THE SHOULDER, THEN SAW FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND CALLED 911. THE CAR BECAME ENGULFED IN BLAMES AND WAS TOTALED. THE FIRE DEPT PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CHP OFFICER POINTED OUT THE TRAIL OF OIL ON THE SHOULDER WHERE MY SON HAD DRIVEN AND PULLED OVER. UPON DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AFTER THE FIRE, WE SAW THAT MY13 HYUNDAI VELOSTERS HAD A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FIRES. WE HAVE HAD ALL REGULAR SERVICE DONE ON THE CAR AT PEP BOYS AND HAD NOT HAD ANY PRIOR ENGINE ISSUES.
