So my Manual Heater knob randomly stopped working as I was driving on 6/4/21 around 11 am as I was about to do an errand run for my family. I was told from a friend that there was a TSB issued on it and looked it up. I went to my local dealership Island Hyundai Staten island explained what was going on and they told me because it is a TSB and not a recall you will be responsible for the cost of repair. I told them why should I when this is a defective situation out of my hands I shouldn't have too.

I HAVE REPORTED AN ISSUE TO RONNIE FREEZE, SERVICE MANAGER AT O. B. , MS. HYUNDAI IN APRIL 2015. LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAD ENGINE AND STARTING FAILURE FOR 15-25 MINUTES AFTER A CHECK SENSOR CODE POPPED UP. I GAVE THIS CODE TO SERVICE, AND ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS, 'WELL, I NEVER HEARD OF THAT'. LET ME KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AND IT DID, AND I REPORTED IT, AND... NOTHING. SAME OLD THING, DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT COULD BE. WELL AFTER THE THIRD TIME, I BEGAN TO FEEL THE CAR RUNNING STILL EVEN WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED. SOUNDS CRAZY BUT I HAD MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WITNESSED THIS ISSUE. SCARY THAT I REPORTED THIS ALSO, BUT NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING TO DO. MR. FREEZE AT OLIVE BRANCH HYUNDAI ACTED LIKE I WAS CRAZY. I KNOW WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE AND I SAY THAT I HAVE HAD ONE SINCE I SIGNED PAPERS ON 01/23/2015. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT A FIRE HASN'T STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE APPARENTLY NOT COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE ENGINE AND I ALSO FEEL THAT I PURCHASED A LEMON THIS TIME WITH HYUNDAI. I LOVE MY CAR AND TRULY HATE THE FEELING OF NOT KNOWING IF I WILL BE SAFE THE NEXT TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I FEEL THAT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY FROM HYUNDAI AS TO WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT FROM THEM. I NEED ANSWERS RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG OR HYUNDAI TO DECIDE WHAT THE SOLUTION WILL BE. I NEED A RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY NOW! I NO LONGER PUT 100% TRUST IN HYUNDAI. WHAT COULD THE RECALL COVER? A REPLACEMENT ENGINE, AND REPLACEMENT ROD BEARINGS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DAMAGED? I FEEL LIKE HYUNDAI HAS FAILED MAJOR BY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME!! I DON'T HAVE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE ANYWHERE NOW. I WANT ANSWERS.

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE (ROUGHLY 2017) WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY FAN CONTROL KNOB STARTED SPINNING FREELY, IT STILL WORKED BUT CONCERNED I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHO ALL BUT DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE KNOB STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD ON OCCASION CUT OFF THE FAN IF I WERE TO HIT A BUMP. BY THE END OF 2019 THE KNOB HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD HELD OFF ON GETTING IT REPAIRED AS IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND AFTER DOING QUITE A LOT OF RESEARCH I DISCOVERED IT IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR. IT POSES A SERIOUS HAZARD AS WHERE I LIVE IT IS EXTREMELY HUMID AND COLD DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND NO AMOUNT OF WIPING AND CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD GETS RID OF ALL OF THE FOG MEANING IT POSES A REAL THREAT BY LIMITING VISIBILITY.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR LOST POWER. STEPPING ON THE GAS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE. CAR IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WE ARE BEING TOLD THE ENGINE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY DETAIL IS THERE IS A NOISE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE EARLIER YEAR VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NO CRASH OR FIRE. IT HAS TAKEN 4 DAYS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM HYUNDAI. THEY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL UNTIL WARRANTY WORK IS AUTHORIZED BY HYUNDAI, WHICH COULD TAKE ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR DAYS. CONSIDERING THE SERVICE DEPT IS TRYING TO GO THROUGH HYUNDAI FOR WARRANTY INSTEAD OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT. I REGRET BUYING THIS CAR.

MY CAR HAS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR FIRST LOOKS AS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION (STATIONARY) BUT THEN YOU MOVE TO DRIVE OR R DO NOTHING, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT HAVE ONLY 30000 MILES AND I JUST PAY MY LAST PAYMENT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE HYUNDAY PAGE DO NOT HAVE OPTIONS TO FIND A DEALER NEAR ME WHEN I WRITE MY ZIP CODE. I SENT MY CAR TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE SENSORS AND THEY DO NO REPAIRS, I FEEL I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SUBCONTRACTED REPARING DEALERS, THEY PUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GUARANTIES INTO SUBCONTRACTED REPAIR DEALERS.

A/C FAN SPEED CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YRS. 75000 MILES. PULLED HVAC UNIT FROM THE DASH TO FIND MELTED CONNECTORS ON THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE BACK OF THE FAN SPEED CONTROLLER. A SEARCH ONLINE HAS TURNED UP A PLETHORA OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN 2012-2015 VELOSTERS. THERE'S SIMPLY TOO MUCH AMPERAGE RUNNING THROUGH THE CONNECTION FOR THE HIGH SPEED FAN SETTING WITH IMPROPER MATERIALS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARTS TO HANDLE IT. SIMPLY PUT; THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP FIRE HAZARD. THE FACT THAT THERE E BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS, YET NO ACTION ON HYUNDAI'S PART IS NEGLIGENT.
