2014 Hyundai Veloster Problems

The second cylinder is not firing. The car stalled when on highway.

The HVAC manual heater control unit in my 2014 Veloster Turbo failed, causing extreme electrical resistance that melted, blackened, and discolored the factory wiring harness connector plug behind the dashboard. This caused an active thermal incident and a direct fire hazard inside the cabin. Hyundai is aware of this exact safety defect and is running Service Campaign TY6 (TSB 16-01-070) to fix it, but they are using narrow VIN filtering to deny coverage to identical vehicle configurations. I had to pay out of pocket for a genuine Hyundai replacement part to mitigate this fire risk. Hyundai Corporate (National Case #42974992) has formally denied my reimbursement claim on a technicality, actively ignoring the physical thermal damage and fire risk to my vehicle.

My driver airbags have been deactivated for quite some time. My radio touchscreen doesn't work, and the electrical issue has drifted all the way into my steering wheel where I can't control any type of cruise control properly.

I was driving and then all the sudden my APS light came on and my battery light next, I was driving and my car stopped moving in the middle of the road.

Power steering rubbler coupler defective..making a clunking sound with turning sterring wheel left and right. This is a very common problem with Hyundai.

OFFICIAL REPORT: FRANCHISE FALSIFICATION OF MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL REMEDY I am filing this formal safety complaint because a licensed factory franchise, Causeway Hyundai (Manahawkin, NJ), officially documented and signed off that a mandatory federal safety campaign (NHTSA Recall 21V303 / Hyundai Recall 251: ABS Multi-Fuse Block Replacement) was successfully completed on my vehicle.This official safety record is completely falsified. The service department closed out the repair order and logged it into the manufacturer network as a finished repair. However, I have opened the under-hood engine junction box and taken photographic evidence proving that no physical labor was performed. The original, 12-year-old factory multi-fuse block assembly (Part #91ZZ9-42705 / F18 150A) is still physically inside my engine bay, completely covered in thick, undisturbed road dust and grime.The dealership returned my vehicle to me with a falsified "all clear" safety invoice while leaving a known, severe electrical fire hazard completely active inside my vehicle's engine compartment. I request that federal regulators audit this franchise location for fraudulent safety recall logging and systemic non-compliance with NHTSA safety remedy mandates.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

TAKATA INFLATORS - FRONT AND READ DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTIONS, IE.: FRONT AND REAR DOOR OUTSIDE AND INSIDE LATCHES NOT RELEASING (OPENING) MANUALLY AND/OR ELECTRONICALLY WITH FOB RESULTING IN POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. THE AUTO WAS PARKED AND DOORS LOCKED USING FOB. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON FOB, HEARD THE CLICKING SOUND THE FOB MAKES WHEN THE UNLOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED; WE PULLED THE DRIVER SIDE AND BOTH PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES, THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS DID NOT OPEN. MY GUEST TRIED TO ENTER THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BY PULLING THE INSIDE LATCH, IT STILL DIDN'T OPEN. NEXT I PULLED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH FROM THE INSIDE, IT OPENED. I LEANED INTO THE CAR, TURNED ON THE ENGINE TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO ENTER THE CAR. I'VE TRIED REPLACING FUSE AND FOB BATTERIES, RESETTING THE LOCK/UNLOCK CODE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. CRAWLING OVER SEATS, ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS THE RUNNING AROUND CAR, AND LEAVING WINDOW OPEN ARE SAFETY HAZARDS. TWO NON-WORKING DOORS ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTS MY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

My driver airbags have been deactivated for quite some time. My radio touchscreen doesn't work, and the electrical issue has drifted all the way into my steering wheel where I can't control any type of cruise control properly.

Hyundai recall [XXX], since there is no remedy available, how will Hyundai compensate me? I purchased my 2014 Veloster Turbo Jan 20[15 for $23,500, dealer tells me its safe to drive, however recall tells me not to park it in my garage as it can cause a fire. If it can start a fire when it is parked, what can it do when I am driving it? [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle was in 5th gear when massive decelleration occured (55 mph to 20 mph).Engine started to stall out. Downshifted to 4th, 3rd, etc. Was able to pull over to breakdown lane. No warning lights in the months prior. Car seviced regularly. Had just passed state inspection two months prior (no codes in log), Hyundai dealer had addressed Campaign 966 a month prior (no codes in log), and then catastrophic failure of catalytic converter. Vehicle required tow to mechanic who stated "I've never seen anything like it. The cat was completely slagged out, like it must have been cherry red hot. Thank god it was freezing last night or the car could have caught fire." No CEL warnings at all on that night or any time prior. Believe this is directly tied to CAMP 966 ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at night the headlights were extremely dim causing the driver’s visibility to be reduced. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated her husband replaced the light bulbs but continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the headlights to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

MY STEERING IS STICKING WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE A MAGNET IS HOLDING IT IN PLACE WITCH MAKES IT HARD TO STAY IN THE LANE. L HAVE ALSO NOTICE THAT MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD GET BRIGHT AND DIM ON THEIR OWN AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING.

I purchased my 2014 Hyundai Veloster as a CPO back in January of 2018 with approximately 37k miles. Currently it has 95,637 miles. Within the first couple months of ownership, I noticed that the vehicle was sporadically acting up during acceleration (specifically when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear). During this process it acts as if all of its power is shut off momentarily and then comes back on, which can potentially be dangerous when accelerating into high traffic areas, or busy intersections because not only does it lose acceleration power but steering as well. I brought it to the dealership right away, but because it never throws any trouble codes, nor does it happen on command - they cannot pin point the issue. Initially they changed the alternator. The second time, I believe, they changed the knock sensor or the Camshaft position sensor. In short, I’ve brought it to the dealership several times and have filed numerous complaints to Hyundai Consumer Affairs, but to no avail. Most recently (March 2022), it happened when both of my stepchildren were in the car while we were returning from the beach. I accelerated from a traffic light and was going around a bend when it happened causing me to slam into the curb and caused nearly $1700 in damage, which I had to pay for out of pocket because at this point it is out of Warranty- even though it’s been an ongoing issue pre-warranty lapse. Then to top it all off, I was leaving work this evening to go to an appointment and all of a sudden it began smoking from underneath the steering column. I quickly pulled into the turning lane and popped the fuse box lid open. Instantly I noticed that a wire harness was on fire, which luckily I was able to blow out after several attempts. I’m at my wit’s end with this car, with the dealership, and with Hyundai….. I need help and don’t know what to do!

SOLD A 2014 HYUNDAI VELOSTER WITH GRINDING BRAKES, ACCELERATION PROBLEM, AND VIBRATION ISSUES. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WOULD BE FIXED. I RETURNED THE CAR WITHIN 24HRS. THE CAR VIBRATES DANGEROUSLY AT 50MPH AND ABOVE. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF, TRYING TO PASS, OR GET ON FREEWAY. THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE CARS ALREADY GOING 70MPH COULD OF HIT US WHILE TRYING TO GET ON FREEWAY. SOMETIMES WHILE GIVING THE CAR GAS IT WOULD JUST REV UP THE RPMS WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. THIS ALSO SCARED ME INTO RETURNING THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE IF PROBLEMS WERE FIXED, AND THE MI GENTE AUTO DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY JUST REPLACED TIRES AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THEY CAN KEEP THE CAR, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP COMING BACK FOR SAME ISSUES. I WAS THREATENED WITH REPOSSESSION WILL BE ADDED TO MY CREDIT.

On March 8, 2023, I was waiting at a red light and since the weather was really nice, it was cloudy and not too cold I decided to open my sunroof and when all of the sudden I felt glass raining all over me, my sunroof exploded! I got little cuts over my face and arms because of the glass, and my back and arms felt itchy because of the tiny little pieces of glass. I was on my way to pick up the girls from daycare, I'm so grateful they were not with me at the incident moment and that the car was not on motion. Now, they are charging me over $1000 dlls on repairs. I just got this car less than 2 months ago, I barely pay my first payment and this happens!?

THE AC/HEATER BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER IN THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY MODEL THAT SHARES THE SAME STYLE KNOB HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT. ALONG WITH THE FIRE HAZARD THIS PRESENTS IT ALSO EFFECTS THE USE OF DEFROST WHICH CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN SOME CLIMATES AND THE SWITCH MAY FAIL COMPLETELY RENDERING THE DEFROST FUNCTIONALLY UNUSABLE. ATTACHED YOU WILL SEE IMAGES OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE SWITCH IN QUESTION AS WELL AS THE CONNECTOR FOR THE SWITCH WHICH HAVE SUFFERED SERIOUS HEAT DAMAGE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. HYUNDAI CHOSE TO USE THE SWITCH ITSELF AS THE CURRENT PASSING CONDUCTOR INSTEAD OF A RELAY AS USED BY MOST MANUFACTURERS. THIS DECISION IS CLEARLY REFLECTED AS A NEGLIGENT ONE WITH REGARDS TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE SWITCH AND INCORRECT GAUGE OF THE WIRING USED FOR SAID SWITCH. WITH NORMAL USE IN ANY POSITION ON THE DIAL, THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE THE WIRING OF THE CONNECTOR, AND THE INSIDES OF THE SWITCH TO OVERHEAT. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF FUNCTIONALITY, THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY. WITH THESE LOW GAUGE WIRES BEING USED FOR THIS IT POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR EVIDENCE OF THE SWITCH AND CONNECTOR DEFORMATION CAUSED BY OVERHEATING. PLEASE BARE IN MIND THAT THE SWITCH COMPONENTS AND CONNECTOR APPEAR TO BE MADE OF PA6, A GLASS FIBER REINFORCED NYLON WHICH IS INTENDED TO STAND UP TO A GREAT DEAL OF HEAT. ADDITIONALLY THE WIRE WRAP (PICTURED BELOW) MEANT TO PROTECT THE WIRING ON THIS CONNECTOR FROM RATTLING IS MADE OF A CLOTH/COMPOSITE MATERIAL, WITH THE ABILITY TO MELT AND CATCH FIRE. THIS ISSUE IS A CONSTANT BEING DOWN TO THE WIRING. IN MOTION, STATIONARY, OR OTHERWISE HAS NO BEARING SO LONG AS THE CLIMATE CONTROLS ARE BEING USED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

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

My driver airbags have been deactivated for quite some time. My radio touchscreen doesn't work, and the electrical issue has drifted all the way into my steering wheel where I can't control any type of cruise control properly.

The car lost power gradually ;when I was driving ; We were on the freeway and I couldn’t continue driving 60 miles per hour , therefore I turned on the turn signals cause I just could drive at 35 miles per hour and the car just start shaking ; I just look for the next exit by the time We were on risk on the emergency lane for along time cause the next exit was to far from there .and the car was too slow ,when we finally got exit I call and I stop my car and call the mechanic to ask for help and he help me plug in the scanner machine to my car and there was a problem with some cylinders and one valve and I decided to called to the dealer to get an appointment:. My Vehicule already was checking for Hyundai but they just text me a message ; they said my car needs to replace a motor ,turbo ; some broken valves causing zero pounds of compression on cylinder 4-long block repair-new intake and exhaust manifolds (including turbo)required due to broken valve sending metal through the entire system -quote long block/intake and exhaust manifolds /turbo /all necessary gaskets and fluids for repair : I just was noted my car was consuming too much oil, cause the car board showed me 3 weeks ago and I need to add oil ,and the mechanic plugged in the scanner; but it doesn’t showed something else ;therefore 3 weeks ago I added 1/4 or more ; then was 2 week ago; I added 1/4 of oil again and then just last week I added 1/4 or more oil again ;I just was checking the oil constantly.; and it should be noted that the car was not leaking oil but I didn’t understand why it was running out so quickly .

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH ON A TEXAS HIGHWAY, THE TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WITH NO CAUSE, THE TIRES HAVE NEVER HIT A CURB, PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 29K MILES AND HAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, ORIGINAL NEXEN TIRES. THESE TIRES NEED RECALLED, THEY CAR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. THE CAR NOW HAS ALL PIRELLI TIRES AS THE CAR WOULD BE A HAZARD WITH NEXEN
