DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FAILING. INTERMITTENTLY BOOT OT ENGAGING INTO R OR D GEAR AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON CONCERN FROM A HIGH NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VELOSTER OWNERS. I CONCIDER IT DANGEROUS AS HOW IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO ACCELERATE, GEAR SLIPPED OUT AND VEHICLE ONLY REVED HIGH AND NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY NO FAST TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORST. THIS HAS HAPPED TWICE AND HYUNDAI HAS YET NOT FOUND A FIX AND TOLD ME THEY CANT FIND PROBLEM AS THERE IS NO TROUBLE CODES REGISTERED IN TRANSMISSION. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST HAPPENED TO ME WAS ABOUT 50K AND SECOND TIME AT 90K. EVERY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN BEEN PERFORMED TO VEHICLE WITH RECORDS.

POWER TRAIN
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE BUT THE SPEED WILL NOT. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT RE-ENGAGE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ACCELERATING, USUALLY WHILE I AM ON AND INCLINE AND AFTER THE TRASMISSION HAS BEEN THROUGH FREQUENT SHIFTS AT HIGH RPM'S. I HAVE VIDEO BUT IT IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. THE PROBLEM CAN BE VIEWED ON YOUTUBE WITH A VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

KUMHO KH TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOT QUALIFY FOR TAMY CURRENT RECALL. THEY DESPERATELY NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED DUE TO POOR QUALITY, SEPARATION AND LOOSING AIR. MANY VELOSTER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE AND DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. MANY THANKS!

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON AND PUT INTO REVERSE IT PERIODICALLY WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. IF YOU PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND THEN INTO REVERSE IT STILL WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. YOU MUST PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. WE HAVE RECORDED THE TRANSMISSION NOT GOING INTO GEAR AND BOTH HYUNDAI OF AMERICA AND OUR DEALER ARE DOING NOTHING. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE IT THEMSELVES 'IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED'. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF ANY CAR AND IT HAVING GEAR CHANGING ISSUES MAKES ME CONCERNED THAT IT COULD ESCALATE BEYOND THIS.

TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO TRYING TO GO. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY STOPPED OR WHILE GOING UP A HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CHANGED GEARS BY ITSELF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN CHANGED THE GEAR SHIFT ACTUATOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN 24 HOURS AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE GEAR SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY DISLOCATED, UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A LOANER VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING THE 2015 VELOSTER TURBO ON A STRAIGHT PORTION OF THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN. THE SUNROOF SHATTERED UNEXPECTEDLY, AND GLASS FLEW BOTH INTO THE CAR, AND OUT BEHIND THE CAR. THE GLASS LANDED ON MY ARMS, HEAD, LAP, AND WENT DOWN MY BACK AS WELL. I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AS A REFLEX TO BEING STARTLED, AND THEN OVERCORRECTED AND WENT LEFT PAST MY LANE. I DID NOT HIT ANY CARS, HOWEVER. GLASS KEPT FALLING ON TO THE FREEWAY, INTO THE CAR, AND ON MY HEAD FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND FOUND THAT THE GLASS SHARDS HAD MADE MANY CUTS INTO THE PAINT TOWARD THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP LATER HAD ME CIRCLE THESE SCRATCHED WITH A WAX PEN. INITIALLY, I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BUT WHEN I MENTIONED THAT THIS HAD BEEN AN ISSUE FOR PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS, ANOTHER SERVICE CONSULTANT JUMPED IN AND TOLD ME IT WOULD ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY.

I HAD MY 2015 VELOSTER AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE AUTO TRANS SOUNDING LIKE THE AXLES WERE BAD WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE. TRANS WAS FLARING UP BETWEEN 1-2 & 3-4 BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL.THAT WAS 5200 MILES. AT 14314 THIS BAD CV JOINT NOISE STARTED & AGAIN WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL.AT 20859 TRANS WAS REPLACED PER THE HYUNDAI FIELD ENGINEER. BOTH PROBLEMS STILL THERE. NEVER EVEN GOT IT HOME BEFORE NOISE STARTED. BACK IN AT 25878 WITH BOTH PROBLEMS AS OF YESTERDAY & NOW THEY ARE SAYING ITS A CHARASTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE TRAVELS 240 MILES PER DAY AS U CAN SEE BY THE MILAGE. IF THESE AXLES OR CV JOINTS LET GO MY WIFES LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER AT 70 MPH. DDEALER INSISTS NO PROBLEM & I HAVE NOTIFIED HYUNDAI OF AMERICA & THE BBB AUTO LINE WITH NO CALL BACK AS OF YET. TNX FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE

WHEELS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I JUST NOTICED THAT ON MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE THERE IS A BUBBLE ON IT'S SIDE WALL. THE CAR LEASED NEW BACK IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. THE TIRES ARE THE KUMHO SOLUS KH25. I'VE ALSO NOTICED HERE ON THIS SITE, I SEEN A COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME THING. I'M HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY TO SEE WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO TELL ME. AS FOR SPEED CONTROL. THIS CAR CANT GO ABOVE 55MPH - 60MPH WHILE ON HIGHWAY NORMAL CURVES WITHOUT THE REAR SWAYING WHILE RUN OVER DIVIDER LINE ON THE PAVEMENT. LESS SPEED WHEN IT RAINS. I'M REALLY HAVING DOUBTS ABOUT THIS CAR ONCE IT STARTS TO SNOW.
