2019 Hyundai Veloster Problems

Engine locked on me during driving almost caused a car rear ending me during rush hour. Called AAA and they printed out a recall form for over heated piston that may cause engine damage. Towed to Tito Auto care and then printed out the same information for recall details NHTSA Campaign Number 21V301000. Advised me to take to Hyundai dealership to repair for free. Hyundai states the vendor number is not pulling up for a recall. Both AAA and Tito Autocare stated they would fight this. I am requesting you order the Hyundai Manufaturer to repair. I believe there were missed vin numbers in the recall including my vin number.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH with his two-year-old daughter in the vehicle, the automatic emergency braking system erroneously engaged and caused the vehicle to come to a stop, which almost caused a crash. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent, and the message "Collision Avoidance - Stop" was displayed while there was no obstacle or vehicle in front of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and contacted the local dealer, who called and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stopped driving the vehicle due to safety concerns. The failure mileage was 100,391.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving 76 MPH, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode and decelerated to 30 MPH. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle experienced intermittent, unintended acceleration. The contact shifted the transmission to neutral(N), but the vehicle failed to stop. The contact then pressed the shift lock release button, and the vehicle was able to stop. The steering wheel also inadvertently turned left or right while driving, and the Lane Keep Assist System was not activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that fuel and oil were leaking into the exhaust pipe, allowing smoke into the cabin. The dealer replaced the alternator, battery, and spark plugs, but the failure persisted. The dealer notified the manufacturer about the failure. The vehicle was then taken to Tarr Hyundai (5524 W Andrew Johnson Hwy, Morristown, TN 37814); however, the dealer was initially unable to duplicate the failure. When Tarr Hyundai was able to duplicate the failure, the failure information was forwarded to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and several cases were opened. The final case was resolved through arbitration, and the manufacturer was ordered to buy back the vehicle; however, the contact declined the buyback offer. The failure mileage was approximately 141.

When you put the car in DRIVE it will go in REVERSE. Happened several times and on the last time caused us to back into a pole and mess up the back bumper. We were trying to go forward but went in reverse. We have video proof but I can't load the video in this document.

Passenger side door will not latch or lock. Door remains opened while driving.

While driving the vehicle has stalled/engine shuts off at different speeds and also while the vehicle's steering wheel is turned to move it into a different direction (for example making a right turn at a perpendicular street/road). There is a concern for the operator's safety and others operating around a stalling vehicle especially at higher velocity/speeds and when traffic is heavy. The dealership has recommended an engine replacement, not sure if the dealer has been able to reproduce the problem. Currently, the vehicle has only been inspected by a dealership. The flashing engine light first appeared on 06/07/2024, this would be the second time the vehicle stalled (engine shut off) on the same day.

I had cruise control enabled while driving down the highway. When entering a sweeper turn, the steering wheel locked up completely and could only be moved about 1cm either direction. If this had happened on any mild turn this would have resulted in a crash. The steering wheel locked up entirely at 50mph. I was able to slowly get the car to the side of the road utilizing the 1cm of freeplay in the steering wheel. Steering would not return until I restarted the car. No lights appeared on the dash before, during, or after the incident. Component that failed was 56320-K9000 Power Pack Assembly. Dealer replaced this under warranty after the ECU revealed the component had failed. The component is no longer available for inspection.

I started to hear a grinding sound when breaking and I took it into a Meineke dealer to see about getting it fixed. During a general diagnostic they discovered that 3 of the four brakes were not working and the calipers needed replaced. I was told this was due to a manufacturer issue and that there will be a recall on these parts soon but no ETA. They informed me that they have seen this similar issue on many 2019 Hyundai Velosters and there would be a recall soon but I have no ETA and I cannot drive my vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that it sounded as if the engine was revving without the accelerator pedal being depressed. The contact stated that the RPM revved between 5,000-7,000 RPMs but the vehicle was losing motive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle was still losing motive power. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times however, the vehicle failed to respond while shifting into drive(D). The contact stated the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and advised the contact that clutch packs 1 and 2 showed DTC codes: P090173 and P090B73. The contact was informed that the clutch packs 1 and 2 along with the clutch actuator and the front brake pads, rotors, and fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,307.

My rpm’s were running very low after putting gas to the point the car felt like it would turn off when at idle. I was stopped on a highway at a light when the car revved low and shut off completely. The light was green and I had to sit and try to get it back on, it started right up. Brought it to the dealer and they found no issue with the car. Rpm’s have still been low to the point the car seems like it wants to stall & I’m not sure what to do. It doesn’t make me feel safe driving it.

ON MAY 7TH MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT ON ON THE PARK LOT OF MY WORK. WOULDN'T TURN ON, NO LIGHTS, DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN OR CLOSE. CAR WAS JUMPED BY THE TOW DRIVER AND WHEN GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM NOR COULD HYUNDAI. THE TOW DRIVER TOLD THEM THE CAR WAS COMPLETE DEAD AND STILL THEY GAVE ME BACK THE CAR SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. BUT A ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE CAR STALLED AND WENT COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY 95 IN MIAMI, FL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUMAN WHILE SIFTING GEARS BUT NOW I KNOW IT WASN'T. BUT AFTER EXPERIENCING IT A SECOND TIME I KNOW FOR SURE IT WASN'T HUMAN ERROR. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND HYUNDAI HAVE NOT BEEN GABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT. AT THE EVENT AT THE HIGHWAY I WAS ONLY ABLE TO BRING THE CAR BACK RUNNING BY SNAPPING THE CLUTCH AND THE GAS. IF IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC CAR FOR SURE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT. AFTER THE LAST TIME THE CAR DIED IT TOOK HALF A TANK OF GAS TO DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MILES. HYUNDAI, IS SENDING THE CAR HOME TO ME EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH YET. THEY ARE PUTTING A "BLACK BOX" FOR ME TO RECORD THE CAR ENGINE ACTIVITIES AS IT HAPPENS. I FEEL SCARED AND UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. IT IS SUCH A SERIOUS MATTER THAT I WANT TO SHARE IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE EXPERIENCES THAT SAME THING AND I WAN TO MAKE SURE MY STRUGGLE WITH THIS CAR IS WELL KNOWN AND HOPEFULLY WILL INSPIRE SOME MORE INVESTIGATION.

THE VEHICLE CLUTCH DISC DELAMINATED AND EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE PRESSURE PLATE, CLUTCH CYLINDER AND SEVERAL HYDRAULIC PARTS WERE ALSO DAMAGED. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE BRAKES TO STOP WORKING SINCE THE CLUTCH AND BRAKES SHARE A RESERVOIR.

MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HIT IN THE FRONT END. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS (21 THOUSAND IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END).
