STEERING
WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP THE STEERING IS KNOCKED OFF BY A FEW DEGREES IT DOES NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT AGAIN (FOR EG IF IT IS KNOCKED TO 5 DEG IT WON'T GO BACK TO 0, INSTEAD IT WILL SETTLE ON 1 OR 2 DEGREES). THIS MEANS A MINOR LAPSE IN CONCENTRATION COULD RESULT IN THE CAR DRIFTING INTO ANOTHER LANE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM THE LIGHTS ONLY REACH OUT 65-75 FEET AND THEN THERE IS A SOLID DARK HORIZON LINE WITH NO LIGHT WHAT SO EVER ABOVE THIS LINE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH THIS LIGHTING DOSE NOT GIVE THE DRIVER ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID A PROBLEM. CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AFTER RESEARCH THE SOLUTION IS TO ADD H I D LIGHTING TO THE CAR HYUNDAI SAY THAT IF IT IS INSTALLED THEY WILL NOT HORNER ANY FIX ANY REPAIR CLAIMS ON THE CAR. I DRIVE 100 MILES A DAY IN THE DARK AND THIS IS OUT AND OUT DANGEROUS. SOME THING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS A S A P. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE CRANK PULLEY FELL OFF THE MOTOR. THIS PREVENTS THE ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND AC COMPRESSOR FROM FUNCTIONING AS THEY ARE BELT DRIVEN. WITH THE ALTERNATOR NOT FUNCTIONING THE BATTER WILL BE DRAINED TO THE POINT OF DEAD (DEPENDING ON WHAT ACCESSORIES ARE ON) AND WITH THE WATER PUMP NOT FUNCTIONING THE CAR WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY OVERHEAT LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
MY 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER'S SUNROOF EXPLODED VIOLENTLY, WHILE PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT. IT CAUSED DAMAGED TO THE INTERIOR AND TO THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO REVIEWS THIS ISSUE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THE 2012 MODELS, YET MINE IS A 2013. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR ONCE THE MANUFACTURE/DEALERSHIP FIX IT. AND SADLY, I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. *TR
