SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT I NOTICED A HARD PULL FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS A NOTICED THE BACK DRIVER WHEEL WAS NOT ROTATING. IT WAS COMPLETELY STUCK. IT MADE A TIRE MARK ON THAT CONCRETE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THAT IS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE REAR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE WAS COMPLETELY LOOSE. IT HAS NO PULL TO IT. AS IF IT WERE COMPLETELY SEIZED. I HAD NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN THE HAND BRAKE A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT I DID NOT THINK IT WAS SERIOUS. ALSO A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40MPH AND NOTICED A BURNING/ FIRE SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR. I PULLED OVER AND I BENT DOWN TO SMELL THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL AND THAT IS WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM FIXED. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODELS BUT NOT YET ON DCT MODELS WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL ON ALL 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTERS. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, TODAY THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SHATTERED AND CRASHED DOWN WITH A LOUD SOUND, ,HYUNDAI HAD ALREADY DONE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE LAST YEAR AND I HAD CHECKED IT WITH A HYUNDAI DEALER WHO TESTED AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH ROOF WHEN THEY INSPECTED IT ON JUNE 2013 LAST YEAR ,SUDDENLY IT CRASHED AND ALMOST INJURED ME VERY BADLY TODAY,IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY FATAL . IRONICALLY HYUNDAI HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME LAST YEAR BUT IT DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AS THE DEALER S R NOT REPLACING THE ROOFS ,ITS A GRAVE CONCERN AND I URGE THE CONCERNED AUTHORITIES TO KINDLY LOOK INTO THE MATTER AS IT COULD BE A FATAL ISSUE ON ROADS SOMETIME SOON IF THIS CONTINUES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE FAILS TO ENGAGE STARTER DURING START SEQUENCE. TRIED BATTERY BOOSTER JUMP BUT NO CHANGE IN CONDITION. CAR HAS FULL POWER TO ALL LIGHTING AND GAUGES BUT WILL NOT ENGAGE STARTER, ALL YOU HEAR IS A "CLICK" SOUND FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERS ON 11/25/13 FOR NO START CONDITION. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT PERFORMED TECHNICAL SERVICE UPDATES TO ECM & INFO CTR. HEAD UNIT. FREQUENCY OF PROBLEM HAS ACCELERATED OVER PAST 4 DAYS AND NOW HAVE TO "POP START" THE CAR BY ROLLING IT AND LETTING OUT CLUTCH IN GEAR TO START ENGINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE CAR CAN LEAVE YOU STRANDED WITH NO WARNING. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED. ALL OF THE GLASS SHATTERED AND FLEW EVERYWHERE SOME OF IT HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS MISSING.THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE WERE ON THE INSIDE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO CAREFULLY MAKE OUR WAY ACROSS TRAFFIC AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE AS GLASS WAS STILL FLYING OFF OF OUR ROOF. WE CALLED HYUNDAI IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO SPEAK TO SERVICE, WHEN TRANSFERRED, NOBODY ANSWERED. WE WERE TOLD TO EITHER DROP OFF OUR CAR TONIGHT OR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHILE DRIVE ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED OF 70 MPH THE SUNROOF IMPLODED ON ME. THE ROOF WAS IN CLOSED POSITION. THE GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I HAD VERY MINOR SCRAPES ON MY FACE AND NECK. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE CLOSE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF IMPLOSION I PULLED INTO IT. I HAD TO LIFT MYSELF OUT OF MY SEAT AS THE GLASS WAS ON MY CLOTHING, ALL OVER THE SEATS, IN MY PURSE AND SOME PIECES WERE STILL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOF. DEALERSHIP IN ROUND ROCK, TEXAS WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY WELL BEING. THEY OFFERED TO CALL FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. I HAD MINOR SCRAPES AND DID NOT FEEL IT NECESSARY. THE IMPLOSION MADE ME THINK SOMEONE HAD SHOT ME BECAUSE OF THE SOUND WHEN IT IMPLODED. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF LIGHTHEADEDNESS! I HAD THIS CAR CHECKED IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 FOR THE SUNROOF. I HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT BY MY CUSTOMERS WHERE I WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN MARLTON, NJ CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP THERE SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL FOR A SUNROOF PROBLEM! I HAVE NO PAPERWORK FROM THAT DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THEY HAD CHECKED IT FOR ME. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING UNDER ANY ROAD CONDITIONS AND AT SPEEDS FROM 15 TO 65, THE CAR SEEMS TO TRACK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OF CENTER BUT DOES NOT WANT TO TRACK STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL TO CORRECT THIS, THERE IS A LOT OF RESISTANCE, WHICH FORCES THE DRIVER TO OVER-CORRECT AND AT TIMES NEARLY LOSE CONTROL. AT TIMES THE WHEEL ALSO TRIES TO TURN ON ITS OWN (QUICK SLIGHT JERKS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT) AND CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN COMPLETE CONTROL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD UNDER ICY CONDITIONS AND COULD EASILY SEND THE CAR INTO A SPIN. I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL ALIGNED AND TIRES CHECKED AND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN FOUND. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH I MADE IT CLEAR THIS HAPPENS ON DRY ROADS, THE CLAIM THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND SUGGESTED REPLACING MY TIRES WITH SNOW TIRES. THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE WHEN THE ROADS ARE DRY. I HAVE ALSO SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ON SEVERAL WEB SITES AND THEY ARE DESCRIBING EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS THAT I AM SEEING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS ISSUE CAN BE ESCALATED AND RESOLVED BEFORE THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SENDING GLASS 20' OUT AND INTO THE VEHICLE SINCE THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME NO STRESS TO THE GLASS. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE WARRANTY ON THE SUNROOF AND WAS GIVEN A PASS ON THE GLASS NOT BEING THE KIND THAT WOULD EXPLODE. THAT WARRANTY TEST WAS OBVIOUSLY INACCURATE. *TR

THE SUNROOF OF MY 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER EXPLODED TODAY WITHOUT WARNING. THE SUNROOF WAS UNDER A RECALL CAMPAIGN AND WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SIGNED OFF THAT THE SUNROOF WAS FINE AND DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, TODAY (ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER HAVING CHECKED ON THE SUNROOF) IT EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SHATTERED SUNROOF FELL INTO THE CAR ALL OVER ME AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
AFTER ONLY 18 MONTHS AND 28,000 MILES OF LEASING MY CAR FROM HYUNDAI I COULD HEAR THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WAS MAKING SOME KIND OF CLICKING SOUND. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRE, WHICH IS A KUMHO BRAND, I NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE HAD A LONG NARROW THREAD OF RUBBER HANGING FROM IT. I CALLED FOR THE CAR TO BE TOWED TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP (VALENCIA HYUNDAI). WHEN THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT ([XXX]) TOLD ME THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE VERY WORN AND NEED REPLACING I EXPECTED AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THAT THEY WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. APPARENTLY, THEY ARE ONLY COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. I CALLED KUMHO TIRES WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERS DEFECTS AND ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI THERE WAS NO DEFECT JUST WEAR AND TARE. THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT MAYBE HYUNDAI SHOULD NOT BE USING KUMHO TIRES IN THE FIRST PLACE AS THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY GOOD TIRES. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO HYUNDAI AND SUGGESTED THAT THEY OUGHT TO AT LEAST GO SPLITS WITH ME ON THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT WAS TOO GENEROUS OF ME, I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. SO NOW I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEELS, AIR BAGS
THE LOW RIDER REAR TIRES WERE MAKING LOUD NOISES - REAR LEFT WENT FLAT - CHEAP TIRES BECAUSE THE BELTS WERE SHOWING THROUGH THE TIRE - GOT TOWED TO BANGOR, MAINE TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP - THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TIRE AND TOLD ME THE LEFT ONE WAS ALSO SHOWING THROUGH THE BELTS. SO EVERY 27685 MILES I'LL NEED TO PAY $390.00 ?? THAT'S RIGHT, THEY CHARGED ME THAT MUCH FOR TWO TIRES AND NO THIS IS NOT AN ESCALADE, (FREE TOWING FROM PERRY ME) 120 MILES TO BANGOR WOWEEE !!! TOLD THEM THE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION LIGHT CAME ON THEY TURNED IT OFF, IT WAS OFF FOR A SHORT TIME - ITS BACK ON. *TR

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

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
PURCHASED CAR ON 5/5/2012 WITH 6 MILES ON IT. WITHIN LESS THAN A WEEK AND 200 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN CLICKING. TOOK IT INTO HYUNDAI AND THEY STATED IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER 2 1/2 WEEKS THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS HYUNDAI REFUSED TO GIVE ME A DIFFERENT CAR. SINCE THEN THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE, SOUNDS "CLUNKY" AND WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS SOUNDS LIKE THE GEAR ISN'T ENGAGING AND SOUNDS/FEELS LIKE IT WOULD IF YOU RELEASED A CLUTCH TOO EARLY. CAR LOSES POWER AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO DIE. A HISSING AND RATTLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD HAPPENS AS WELL. AFTER TAKING IT IN TO DEALER, DEALER STATES THEY COULD NOT FIND THE SOUNDS OR NOISES OR LOSS OF POWER I WAS HAVING. RPMS REV REALLY HIGH BEFORE ENGAGING IN FIRST GEAR. DEALER STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING SINCE THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS FOR FAILURE OF POWER AND CAR NOT ACCELERATING. TAKES ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE IT GOES. BRAKES GRAB TOO EASILY AS WELL. LOSS OF GAS MILEAGE (AROUND 6-7 MPG) WAS REPORTED TO DEALER BUT DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO "WINTER GAS." I CAN UNDERSTAND 2-3 MPG DIFFERENCE BUT 6-7 IS TOO MUCH. CAR HAS ALSO BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK FOR THE CAR ALARM GOING OFF CONSTANTLY FOR NO REASON. A PIECE OF THE WINDSHIELD PLASTIC ALSO FELL OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN CAR WAS 3 WEEKS OLD. DEALER DUCT TAPED THAT PART DOWN UNTIL A NEW PART COULD BE ORDERED. *TR
