CURRENTLY WAITING ON A REMEDY FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON DEC 1, 2020, STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE NOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION FROM ANY OF THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND ME. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF THE RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PLUG BEHIND THE AC CONTROL PANEL (THE BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH) HAS MELTED BECAUSE THE CURRENT ISN'T BEING CONDUCTED PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE STARTED MONTHS AGO WHEN I NOTICED THE AC CONTROL KNOB WAS GETTING STUCK & STOPPED WORKING ON THE NUMBERS. THIS LAST WEEK I SMELT SMOKE COMING FROM THE AC CONTROL PANEL, WHICH IS WHAT LED ME TO REMOVE THE CONSOLE TO SEE BEHIND. APPARENTLY, THIS IIS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT OF THE 2012-2016 VELOSTERS & SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR DASH SET ON FIRE BEFORE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY IF THE CAR WERE EVER TO SET FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW & I WERE DRIVING. I, & OTHER PEOPLE, COULD DIE FROM THIS. HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL OR ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A TICKING NOISE. I CHANGED THE OIL HOPING THAT THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT NOTHING CHANGED. SO, ON THE WAY HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR MADE A BUNCH OF LOUD NOISES AND THEN STALLED. IT ALSO BEGAN LEAKING OIL. I REMOVED THE PANEL FROM UNDERNEATH TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND SAW A BUNCH OF ALUMINUM FRAGMENTS ALL OVER THE PANEL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY CAR HESITATED FROM A STOP SIGN, THEN LAUNCHED FORWARD CAUSING IT TO UNCONTROLLABLY JUMP FORWARD VERY FAST. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES THEY FAILED TO ACTIVE, AND HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE. THE CAR HAS HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TCM ON MY DCT TRANSMISSION BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH.
