CAR TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE IS BAD ON THE CAR. I SENT IT TO HYUNDAI WHERE THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY 6000 FOR A ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH A RECALL IS ON THE CAR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 30 IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS GOING ABOUT 70 I PUT THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL AS WERE APPROACH A HILL THE CAR SHOT UP TO 6000 RPM AND WOULD NOT SHIFT, I HAD TO TAKE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND USE MANUAL DRIVE. I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLY JUST A FLUKE ACCIDENT BUT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED AND EVENTUALLY WHEN I PUT MY CAR AND DRIVE IT WON'T GO IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TAKE OFF AND WHEN IT DOES TAKE OFF IT JERKS INTO GEAR .. I HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH AND FEELS LIKE IT MISSING.. THEN ON THE INTERSTATE 67 /167 I WAS TRYING TOP ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STALLED FOR A GOOD MOMENT, ENOUGH TO SCARE ME TO I HAD TO PULL OFF ABRUPTLY..

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE. FOUND OUT THE ROD BEARING WAS GONE. CALL HYUNDAI AND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRE WEEKS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. HAD TO SWAP ENGINES ON THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS BAD. ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE BURNING OIL REALLY BAD. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION GEARS DROPPING OUT OF NO WERE. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WHEN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND SHIFT IT INTO 2ND GEAR AND WHEN IT SHIFT TO 3RD IT DROP TO 1. THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER CAR BEHIND ME. IT WOULD OF DEFINITELY COST AN ACCIDENT AND HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD WITH ME. I TALK TO HYUNDAI AND TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE WITH SAME ISSUES.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR LOST POWER. STEPPING ON THE GAS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE. CAR IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WE ARE BEING TOLD THE ENGINE IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY DETAIL IS THERE IS A NOISE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE EARLIER YEAR VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NO CRASH OR FIRE. IT HAS TAKEN 4 DAYS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM HYUNDAI. THEY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL UNTIL WARRANTY WORK IS AUTHORIZED BY HYUNDAI, WHICH COULD TAKE ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR DAYS. CONSIDERING THE SERVICE DEPT IS TRYING TO GO THROUGH HYUNDAI FOR WARRANTY INSTEAD OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT. I REGRET BUYING THIS CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE A/C KNOB, WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON, LIGHTS UP. THIS LIGHT BURNS UP THE INSIDE OF THE KNOB AND CAUSES THE CONNECTIONS TO BURN OUT WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE AIR SPEED SETTINGS. CURRENTLY MINE MUST SIT AT 3 OR IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE HEAD UNIT WHICH BLACKED OUT AND STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS SQUEALING NOISES HAVE BECOME VER NOTICEABLE ON THE BRAKES. SUPPOSEDLY IT IS MOISTURE, BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAPPENED WHEN IT IS 98 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I WENT TO A LOCAL WELL KNOWN MECHANIC SHOP AND REPLACED THE BRAKES THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKE PADS BUT IT WASN'T. THE NOISE ONCE AGAIN SHOWED UP. ANOTHER ISSUE, THE AC GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE ON THE ROAD.

I COMPLETELY STARTED MY CAR SO THAT IT'S NOW RUNNING AND THIS IS WHEN MY SUNROOF MADE A LOUD POPPING SOUND ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT AND STARTED OPENING UNPROVOKED THEN COMPLETELY SHATTERED OVER BOTH OF OUR HEADS. *TR

CYLINDER 1 HAS BEEN MISFIRING. HAS THE ERROR CODE P0301. I TOOK IT IN TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A SPARK PLUG. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED FOR A FEW MONTHS AND NOW IS WORSE. MISFIRES/BACKFIRES IN THE ENGINE WHEN PRESSING GAS. LOUD POPPING SOUND COMES OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR ALSO DOES NOT DRIVE PROPERLY. IT IS SHAKY WHEN DRIVING.

MY CAR HAS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR FIRST LOOKS AS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION (STATIONARY) BUT THEN YOU MOVE TO DRIVE OR R DO NOTHING, BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT HAVE ONLY 30000 MILES AND I JUST PAY MY LAST PAYMENT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE HYUNDAY PAGE DO NOT HAVE OPTIONS TO FIND A DEALER NEAR ME WHEN I WRITE MY ZIP CODE. I SENT MY CAR TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE SENSORS AND THEY DO NO REPAIRS, I FEEL I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SUBCONTRACTED REPARING DEALERS, THEY PUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GUARANTIES INTO SUBCONTRACTED REPAIR DEALERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A/C FAN SPEED CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 YRS. 75000 MILES. PULLED HVAC UNIT FROM THE DASH TO FIND MELTED CONNECTORS ON THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE BACK OF THE FAN SPEED CONTROLLER. A SEARCH ONLINE HAS TURNED UP A PLETHORA OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN 2012-2015 VELOSTERS. THERE'S SIMPLY TOO MUCH AMPERAGE RUNNING THROUGH THE CONNECTION FOR THE HIGH SPEED FAN SETTING WITH IMPROPER MATERIALS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARTS TO HANDLE IT. SIMPLY PUT; THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP FIRE HAZARD. THE FACT THAT THERE E BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS, YET NO ACTION ON HYUNDAI'S PART IS NEGLIGENT.
