  ENGINE

  On June 11th, 2021, as I was driving on the freeway my car lost all power. I was doing 65 in the second lane on the right. The sudden loss of power almost caused a semitruck to hit me. This was do to engine problems laid out in the current recall. I didnt know about the recall, Hyundai still hasnt notified their customers. My car has 13k miles and I've had Valvoline change my oil every 3k miles (last oil change at 10k). In a matter of 3k miles my car burnt all engine oil. (there were no oil leaks). No dashboard lights came on to inform me my oil was low.

  I HAVE HAD 2 MOTOR REPLACEMENTS FROM TUPELO MISSISSIPPI BARNS CROSSING HYUNDAI AND ONE I HAD TO PAY PUT OF POCKET FOR. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DOWNPIPE REPLACED ALSO AFTER MY SECOND MOTOR REPLACEMENT. I FEEL LIKE THIS MOTOR NEEDS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY VELOSTER N THAT HAS HAD TO HAVE MOTOR REPLACEMENTS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED ASAP AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK ALL 10K

  EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT IS VERY EASY TO INADVERTENTLY TURN OFF ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS. IF TOO MUCH FORCE OR A "SLAPPING" MOTION IS USED, THE SWITCH CAN EASILY ROTATE TO OFF, WHILE DRIVING.

  UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I BOUGHT A NEW 2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER THREE WEEKS AGO. I HAVE DRIVEN IT FIVE TIMES. ON THREE OF THOSE FIVE OCCASIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR SCREECHED TO A HALT, AS IF THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED. IT DID NOT DO THIS EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION - IT WAS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON 8/31/20, WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 350 MILES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, SERIOUS DEFECT.
