STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I AM VERY TRAUMATIZED SINCE EARLIER TODAY APPROXIMATELY 11AM THE GLASS SUN ROOF ON MY 2012 VELOSTER EXPLODED WHEN I WAS RINSING THE CAR OFF. THE WEATHER WAS IN THE HIGH 70S OR 80S BUT WHATEVER THE CASE ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE SINCE I HAD CHILDREN THAT COULD HAVE HAD BODILY INJURY SINCE THEY WERE PLAYING CLOSE BY. THE EXPLOSION SPREAD SHATTERED GLASS AROUND 6 FEET AROUND THE CAR AND DRIVEWAY AND IT WAS SUCH AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION! I WOULD NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER VELOSTER OWNERS OR FUTURE OWNERS SINCE IT MAKES ME SICK SINCE I LIVE FAR AWAY AND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HOME BY NOW BUT DUE TO THIS EXPLOSION I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP! I SINCERELY HOPE THAT HYUNDAI WILL RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SINCE I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER VELOSTER OWNERS AND SINCE THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE US MARKET FOR 8+ MONTHS ITS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ITS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OWNERS! WHEN ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NO BIG DEAL AND THIS IS REALLY NOT TRUE! IT IS A BIG DEAL SINCE BODILY INJURY DID HAPPEN DURING THE EXPLOSION SINCE I TOOK OFF MY SHIRT AFTER A FRANTIC TRAUMATIC DAY TO TRY AND SLEEP AND I HAVE A SMALL CUT FROM THE SHATTERED GLASS! THIS IS REALLY MAKING ME SO UPSET SINCE ITS MY FIRST TIME AS A HYUNDAI OWNER AND I REGRET HAVING PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE AND ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT HYUNDAI WILL DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM! ITS SO WRONG FOR A CAR COMPANY TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER SINCE THE STATEMENT FROM THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR WAS TOWED IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNTRUE! IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO EXPLODE WHEN RINSING IT OFF AND THERE IS NO WARNING ON THE VEHICLE OR MANUALS THAT WOULD INDICATE CAUTION TO RINSE YOUR CAR IN ANY CLIMATE! READING FORUMS SOME PEOPLE JUST HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERS! THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW! *TR

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
NEW VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON THE STREET. AT 8:00 AM I WAS INFORMED BY A FELLOW WORKER THAT IT APPEARED MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND THERE WAS GLASS ALL OVER IT. I FOUND THAT THE SKYLIGHT HAD BURST UPWARD AND OUTWARD. IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES AT THE TIME. THE DAY BEFORE WAS ABOVE 90 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN SAME LOCATION, WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CALLED DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO NATIONAL SERVICE. THEY CAME AND TOWED CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER CLOSER TO HOME. DAY 8 AND DEALER CLAIMS TO HAVE REPLACED GLASS, SIDE RAILS AND NOW NEEDS TO REPLACE DEFLECTOR THAT ALL WERE DAMAGED. SAYS SOONEST REPAIR TO COMPLETE JULY 2ND PM. *TR UPDATED 8/14/12 *CN UPDATED 08/15/12

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
THE SUNROOF SHATTERED VIOLENTLY IN AN UPWARDS DIRECTION, SENDING SOME GLASS DOWN INSIDE THE CAR AND THE REST ALL OVER THE EXTERIOR. AFTER GOOGLING I FOUND OUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER VELOSTER OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD IDENTICAL INSTANCES WHERE THEIR SUNROOFS SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY.THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSES IT, BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT WITH HYUNDAI. THEY HAVE ANOTHER SUNROOF ON ORDER, BUT AM WORRIED I MAY HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR THIS COMPONENT. *TT

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT BEGIN TO DECELERATE FROM 55 MPH AND CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 55 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED FREQUENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MOST FREQUENTLY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE FROM SIXTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO FIFTH GEAR WHEN PASSING BUT DOES NOT RETURN TO SIXTH GEAR UPON RELEASING ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE CONTINUES AT SAME RATE OF SPEED WHEN RELEASING ACCELERATOR AS IF IT WERE ON CRUISE CONTROL. WHILE PASSING AN 18 WHEELER ON HWY 169 NORTH, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER 18 WHEELER APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET IN FRONT OF THE ONE I WAS PASSING. WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE I COULD NOT PASS BOTH TRUCKS, SO I PASSED THE FIRST ONE AND PULLED IN BEHIND THE OTHER ONE. WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR CONTINUED AT THE SAME RATE OF SPEED FORCING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE OTHER TRUCK. THIS VEHICLE (AND SUBSEQUENTLY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT) EXHIBITS THIS CHARACTERISTIC EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES INTO PASSING MODE. HOWEVER, IF YOU BACK OFF THE ACCELERATOR SLIGHTLY, AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THE CAR WILL SHIFT BACK INTO SIXTH GEAR [BUT ALL THE WHILE ACCELERATING]. I NOTICED THAT YOU CAN MANUALLY SHIFT THE VEHICLE BACK TO SIXTH BY MOVING THE SHIFTER TO MANUAL MODE FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN SHIFTING BACK INTO "D". THE ENGINE RPMS WILL FALL BACK DOWN IMMEDIATELY INDICATING THE SHIFT. OTHERWISE, THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN FIFTH GEAR WITHOUT DECELERATING FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 SECONDS. IN MY CASE, THE CAR DID NOT DO WHAT I "TOLD" IT TO DO: DECELERATE BY RELEASING THE PEDAL. I'VE SPOKEN TO HYUNDAI AND TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. "CONTROL" IS THE KEY ISSUE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A VEHICLE. IF SOMEONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE AT THE RATE OF SPEED WHEN THEY LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THEY COULD CRASH INTO SOMEONE AS I ALMOST DID. THANK YOU. *TT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAD STRONG SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. NO VISIBLE LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE. CALLED THE HENDERSON HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO LEAVE THE A/C CONTROLS ON RE-CIRCULATE TO MINIMIZE THE CONDITION. THE FUMES WERE OVERWHELMING, CLOSE TO HOME SO DROVE IT HOME WITH ALL WINDOWS OPEN TO VENT THE SMELL. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. PICKED UP VEHICLE NEXT DAY AND THE DEALER DID NOTHING, SAID THIS WAS NORMAL, AND TO RUN THE RE-CIRCULATE AS TOLD BEFORE. SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER AT HENDERSON HYUNDAI WHO GAVE ME A TWO PAGE DOCUMENT THAT STATED " SEVERAL FACTORS MUST BE PRESENT AT THE SAME TIME IN ORDER FOR THIS TO OCCUR. SOME EXAMPLES OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE, HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (100F +), HIGH ALTITUDE, POOR FUEL QUALITY, LOW FUEL LEVEL IN THE GAS TANK, EXTENDED IDLING, SLOW TRAFFIC OR STOP AND GO DRIVING. FUEL ODOR UNDER THESE EXTREME CONDITIONS IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT INDICATE A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE" I THEN STATED THAT THEY SHOULD INFORM THE BUYER PRIOR TO PURCHASE, AS ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS EXIST IN THE LAS VEGAS AREA FOR 4 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I ALSO BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CAR HAVING THE A/C ON WHILE IN AN EXTENDED IDLE SITUATION, AND THE OPERATOR NOT KNOWING THIS, THEN GETTING IN THE CAR AND LIGHTING A CIGARETTE WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT YES, THAT COULD HAPPEN. I HAVE THE COMPLETE TWO PAGE DOCUMENT FROM HYUNDAI IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF WHAT I WAS GIVEN, AS MOST OF THE EXTREME CONDITIONS NOTED ARE A DAILY OCCURRENCE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN LAS VEGAS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD EVEN SELL THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS BECAUSE THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER ON THE EMISSION SYSTEM CANNOT HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF VAPOR PRODUCED. I ALSO SUGGESTED ROUTING THE VENT TO ANOTHER LOCATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
ORIGINAL EMAIL SENT TO HYUNDAI MOTORS USA "DEAR HYUNDAI MOTORS USA, I HAVE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY NEW VELOSTER FOR TWO ISSUES ON THE CAR. I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT YOU TO OPEN A CASE AS THE DEALER WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUES AS THERE IS NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS I HAVE NOTIFIED THE D EALER OF AND THOSE THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. 1) SERIOUS ISSUE! WHEN BRAKING UNDER HEAVY CONDITIONS, BOTH ABS AND NON ABS CASES, THE CAR SWERVES AND/OR LOSES IT'S 'REAR' TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I'VE BRAKED HARD SEVERAL TIMES AND IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS GIVING OUT. DURING ABS CONDITIONS, THE CAR SWERVES LIKE IT'S A RWD DRIVEN VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY SCARY AS A CONSUMER BUT DANGEROUS TO OTHERS. IF THERE IS ANY CONDENSATION ON THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING AND THE LEANING TO ONE SIDE OCCURS AND/OR SWERVING, I COULD HYDROPLANE AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A MECHANICAL DEFECT. I HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH AND SPOKEN TO OTHER VELOSTER OWNERS AS WELL. THEY HAVE MENTIONED THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEIR DEALER HAS ORDERED AND REPLACED ONE OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I INFORMED MY SERVICE ADVISOR & THE MECHANIC OF THIS ISSUE ON 3 SEPARATE TEST DRIVES. 1 TEST DRIVE WITH SERVICE ADVISOR IN MY VELOSTER, 1 WITH THE MECHANIC IN MY VELOSTER & 1 IN ANOTHER NEW VELOSTER WITH THE MECHANIC. IN ALL CASES THE VEHICLE SWERVED OR FELT LIKE THE REAR END WAS COMING LOSE. PLEASE HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT I HAVE TO WRITE YOU PRIOR TO THE DEALER SERVICING MY VEHICLE. I WILL BE COOPERATIVE IN THIS ISSUE AND LOOK FORWARD TO A SOLUTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY, NOTICED BRAKE DUST SMELL COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE WAS STICKING IN THE "ON" POSITION WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER WAS RELEASED. AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCED A SMALL PULL TO THE LEFT AND A NOTICEABLE LOSS IN M.P.G. A TRIP TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS STICKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY FOR THE "DEFECTIVE" DRIVERS SIDE AND IT WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE REPAIR HAPPENED IN MARCH AND SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE AT THAT TIME. IN APRIL, A "BANG" SOUND STATED TO BE HEARD WHEN RELEASING THE PARKING AND DRIVING AWAY AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT. THIS "BANG" SOUND STATED AS AN ONLY ONCE A WEEK PROBLEM TO NOW AN EVERY DAY PROBLEM. I HAVE LOOKED AND CONFIRMED THAT NOW "BOTH" REAR CALIPERS ARE STICKING UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE IN THE MORNING. THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPING AND NOW BRAKING WHILE DRIVING IS STARTING TO BECOME INCONSISTENT. SOMETIMES THE CAR BRAKES FINE, OTHER TIMES THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A NOTICEABLE "WEAK" BRAKING FUNCTION (INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE). UPON LOOKING UP PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2012 VELOSTERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FOR OWNERS IN NORTHERN PART OF THE NORTH AMERICA WHERE DIRTY/ SALTY ROADS ARE SEEN (I LIVE IN VERMONT). MY CONCERN IS THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NOT DESIGN TO DEAL WITH THESE CONDITIONS AND CORROSION IS AFFECTING THE FUNCTION OF THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION AND IS JUST REPLACING THE SAME DEFECTIVE CALIPER WITH ANOTHER ONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, THE DRIVER SLOWED THE CAR FROM 30 MPH TO ABOUT 15 MPH FOR TRAFFIC SEQUENCING. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED, THE RPM INCREASED TO ABOUT 6000, BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE FOR 3-5 SECONDS, WHICH CAUSED ONCOMING CARS TO SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. A SIMILAR SITUATION DEVELOPED SEVERAL WEEKS LATER WHEN MERGING FROM ONE FREEWAY ONTO ANOTHER. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TERMED THIS SITUATION AS A "FALSE NEUTRAL," WHERE THE COMPUTER CONTROLS ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE INTO WHICH GEAR TO DOWNSHIFT, IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE ACCELERATION TORQUE. WHATEVER IT IS, ALTHOUGH HYUNDAI MECHANICS SAY IT'S "NORMAL," I THINK IT IS UNSAFE AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE ADDRESSED. TIMELY AND RELIABLE ACCELERATION SHOULD BE A GIVEN IN ANY NEW VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS A DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, WHICH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER STATED WAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE DELAYED ACCELERATION, BUT WAS NORMAL. UPDATED IVOQ 05/22/12 *TR

VISIBILITY, SEATS
THERE IS ONE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH THIS CAR, THE SIDE MIRROR ADJUSTMENTS (IN PARTICULAR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE). THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE MIRROR AND THEY STATED THAT THE LIMITED ADJUSTABLE WAS "JUST HOW IT WAS DESIGNED." THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE THIS RESEARCHED FURTHER AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN. THIS CAR IS NOT AS SAFE AS IT SHOULD BE. SPECIFICALLY, WHEN A TALL, LARGER PERSON HAS THE SEAT SET IN THE FAR BACK POSITION, AND SITS UP FAIRLY HIGH, THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR CANNOT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED, AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS AND THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR, IT CREATES "BLIND SPOTS," AND, IN PARTICULAR, A VERY LARGE "BLIND SPOT" TO THE RIGHT--VERY DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANES OR PASSING! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT TELL YOU THE SPEED YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING IT IS OFF 4 MILES AN HOUR AT 20 THEN 5 MILES AT 40 AND 6 MILES AT 60 AND 7 MILES AT75 MPH AND SO ON UP TO 15 OFF AT 140 MPH YOU HAVE TO DRIVE FASTER THAN YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO GO THE ACTUAL SPEED LIMIT THIS IS VERY DIFFICULTY TO KEEP TRACK OF AS I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH 300 MILES TO MEDICAL APPTMENTS.I AM HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING HYUNDAI TO FIX THIS THEY REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER UNIT WITH A NEW ONE AND NOW THE ODOMETER IS OFF BY 3641 MILES. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS IF IT IS 5%OFF BUT IT IS MORE LIKE 9 TO 12 % OFF AND THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME AND ARE UNWILLING TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED AS I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME OR TO EXCHANGE THE NEW CAR? *TR
