  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE

  I HAVEN'T HAD MANY TROUBLES WITH STEERING LIKE OTHERS HAVE HOWEVER I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY GO INTO GEAR. I CAN START THE CAR AND IT TAKES UP TO A MINUTE TO GO INTO GEAR AND EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I HAVE THAT PROBLEM WHEN SWITCHING OVER NEUTRAL (IE. GOING FROM PARK OR REVERSE TO DRIVE OR VICE VERSA) ANOTHER PROBLEM I'M HAVING TROUBLES WITH IS THE ELECTRONICS. WHEN I GO TO BACK UP THE REAR CAMERA APPEARS FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS THEN GOES TO THE RADIO. ITS NEARLY AN EVERYDAY THING. SOMETIME THE RADIO, DISCS, OR MEDIA PLAYER WILL PLAY MUSIC BUT WILL BE SILENCED AND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE MODE AND SWITCH IT BACK BEFORE IT WILL PLAY. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOLUME I HAVE TRIED THAT. ALSO RECENTLY MY CLOCK HAS STARTED TO RESET EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR ON. IT RESETS TO 11:10. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CLOCK HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND I CANT GET ANYTHING DONE UNLESS I PAY. WHICH I REFUSE BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE MY PROBLEM.

  POWER TRAIN

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

  STEERING

  THIS CAR WILL NOT DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND CANNOT CENTER AGAIN BY ITSELF. THE DRIVER MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT LEFT TO RIGHT. IF YOU DRIVE IN THE WINTER ON CLEAR ROADS INTERRUPTED BY ICEY PATCHES, THE CAR BREAKS LOOSE IMMEDIATELY. IN A RECENT SNOW SQUALL ON ROUTE 81, PA I WAS THE ONLY CAR STRUGGLING TO GO STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS CHILLING AND DANGEROUS. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL. GOOGLE VELOSTER STEERING PROBLEMS. *TR

  WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY

  I PURCHASED MY VELSOTER BRAND NEW WITH 33 MILES ON IT IN NOVEMBER 2014. IF FEB OF 2015 I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT END WAS SHAKING A LITTLE. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND GET AND OIL CHANGE. I HAD ABOUT 8K MILES ON IT. THEIR WAS A SMALL SCRATCH ON ONE OF THE RIMS ABOUT 1/2 LONG, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AMOUNT OF SHAKING THAT WAS HAPPENING. THE SERVICEMAN SAID HE ROTATED THE TIRES AND THEIR SHOULDN'T BE ANYMORE ISSUES. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME IT WAS NOT ANY BETTER IN FACT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORSE. I TOOK IT BACK IN YESTERDAY TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS SHAKING AND HAVE IT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WERE SEVERAL DENTS IN 2 OF MY RIMS WHICH WAS THROWING IT OFF BALANCE. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OVER 50. THEIR IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THESE DENTS HAPPENED DUE TO ANYTHING BEING HIT DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. THEY AREN'T LOOKING ANYMORE INTO IT AND WON'T FIX IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED LIKE THIS. THEIR IS OBVIOUSLY SOME SORT OF DEFECT OR SOMETHING WITH THESE PARTICULAR RIMS IF THEY HAVE DENTS IN THEM THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. THEY NEED TO LOOK MORE INTO IT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOT CAUSED. *TR

  ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I PURCHASED MY 2014 VELOSTER TURBO RIGHT OFF OF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME , 90 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED IT WAS REALLY HARD TO KEEP MY CAR STRAIGHT IN THE ROAD. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO FORCE MY CAR TO STAY STRAIGHT ON THE STRAIGHTEST HIGHWAYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS FOUND TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT . THEY ALIGNED IT, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE DRIVING BACK HOME. I HAVE NOW HAD MY VEHICLE IN TO 3 DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE RECORDS OF THE ADJUSTMENTS. IT IS STILL NOT ALIGNED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY . AT 5K MILES WE WERE DRIVING ON A ROAD TRIP AND HAD BEEN DRIVING ALL DAY. WE WERE GETTING BACK ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE . IT CLEARED UP AND I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES WHEN IT ACTED UP AGAIN, THIS AT 65 MPH. SAME ISSUES FLASHING LIGHTS, SLOWING FROM 65 TO 30 AS MY CAR FELT IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I WAS ABLE TO REPORT IT TO MY BLUELINK, ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT SHOW ON THEIR END. THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BY HYUNDAI , ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DETECT OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO ME. I AM TO THE POINT WHERE I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. NOT ONLY FOR MY SAFETY BUT FOR OTHERS AS WELL. I HAVE A TOTAL OF 7 SERVICE RECORDS WITH NO ANSWERS EXCEPT , IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN COME RIGHT IN AND HOPEFULLY THE COMPUTER WILL TELL US. THE ALIGNMENT WAS DONE 5 TIMES AND TOOK IN 6, ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE ANSWER I GET FOR THE ALIGNMENT NOW IS, " CUSTOMER MAY ALSO NOT BE USED TO ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM". I AM A 43 YEAR OLD MAN THAT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING THAT DRIVES STRAIGHT ON THE SAME ROADS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME... *TR
