2013 Hyundai Veloster

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 78000 MILES THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A PLASTIC PIECE THAT NEEDS REPLACING BUT THE COST IS OVER $300.00 DUE TO THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REMOVED. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE ELANTRA'S FOR THE VERY SAME THING BUT NOT THE VELOSTER. 1ST MAJOR CONCERN WITH VEHICLE BUT NOT PLEASED THAT HYUNDIA WONT OWN UP TO THIS BRAND PROBLEM. MY COUSIN HAS A 2-DOOR GENESIS AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM AT 30K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SEATED IN THE VEHICLE AND SLIDING BACK THE INSIDE LINER TO THE SUN ROOF, THE SUN ROOF GLASS EXPLODED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS GLASS THREE FEET FROM THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM CLICK HYUNDAI (6420 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85710) AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR, THERE WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ON THIS MODEL WE ARE EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKE STARTS WHEN THE CAR REACHES AROUND 40 MPH. THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD MY MECHANIC INSPECT THE ISSUE AND AS SOON AS HE SAT DOWN A MOVED THE STEERING LEFT AND RIGHT HE KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HE SAID THE PROBLEM IS A PLASTIC BUSHING LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. HE SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT IN HYUNDAI CARS INCLUDING THE SONATA. HE HAS ALREADY REPLACED 4 IN LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. I AM 10K MILES OVER MY 60K WARRANTY AND HYUNDAI SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IT IS NOW GOING TO COST ME AROUND $400 TO REPLACE A $3 PART. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR COMPLAINT WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE STATING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MY MECHANIC THAT IF THAT PLASTIC BUSHING WEARS OUT ANYMORE AND THE PLASTIC "TEETH" ON THE BUSHING WEAR OUT ANYMORE THAT WE COULD LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. WE CANNOT EVEN DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE STEERING SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE SINCE. I'M CURRENTLY HAVING THE ISSUE REPAIRED BY MY MECHANIC BECAUSE HYUNDAI WILL NOT WARRANTY THE ISSUE AS THEY STATE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I TYPED IT IN GOOGLE AND FOUND MORE CASES ON THIS ISSUE THAN I CAN COUNT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF FRACTURED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER (ETTLESON HYUNDAI, 5631 SOUTH LA GRANGE ROAD, COUNTRYSIDE, IL 60525, (708) 491-0200) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT CHECK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE12027 (VISIBILITY) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V051000 (VISIBILITY) AND 12V568000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND HEARD A LOUD POP ALOMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT, NEXT THING I KNOW GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME, ON MY SEATS AND FLOORS. I LOOKED UP AND SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED, NOTHING CAUSED IT TO SHATTER NOTHING HIT IT. BUT OBVIOUSLY BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS AND HYUNDAI IT'S A DEFECT AND HYUNDAI ISN'T DOING FIX THE PROBLEM OR RECALL CAR

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER TURBO WITH A 1.6 LITER TURBO ENGINE THAT THREW A ROD THRU THE ENGINE BLOCK.HYUNDAI ISSUED RECALLS ON THE SONATA AND THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING DEFECTIVE 1.6 LITER TURBO ENGINES FOR SOME VELOSTERS AND NOT OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING IDENTICAL PROBLEMS.THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL ALL OF THEM.I HAD A TICKING SOUND FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A LIFTER TICK.AFTER DOING A LOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH EVERYONE SAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT WAS CARBON BUILD UP ON THE INTAKE VALVES .I AM AN ASE MASTER TECH WITH OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD A ROD MAKE A TICKING SOUND LIKE THIS.THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THEM.YES THEY DO OFFER A 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND ONLY A 5 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY TO THE SECOND OWNER.I HAD TO HAVE THE STANDARD TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES BY HYUNDAI FOR A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION CASE CAUSING THE SEAL TO LEAK,BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ENGINE BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY WOULD REPLACE IT.I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL AND FILTER EVERY 3 TO 4,000 MILES AND MY CAR IS PAMPERED BY ME .WHEN IT THREW THE ROD I WAS PULLING FROM A STOP SIGH AT LESS THAN 5 MPH AND LESS THAN 1,000 RPMS AND IT DIED AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY.

REAR BRAKE CALIPERS STICK CAUSING THE TIRES NOT TO TURN SINCE THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED THIS IS DUE TO THE CALIPER BEING. STUCK. THE DEALER FIXED MINE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 63280 MILES ON IT (3280) OUT OF WARRANTY. THE 2012 MODEL OF THIS CAR HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM AND WAS RECALLED BUT HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX MY 2013 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY. LOOK UP "VELOSTER STICKING BRAKES" ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI KNOWS ABOUT IT (2012) BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE LATER MODELS WITH THE PROBLEM LIKE MINE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE THE BRAKES ON ONE OF THEM STICK AND CAUSE A WRECK. MY CAR HAS TWO HUGE WORN OUT SPOTS (MUST REPLACE) ON THE TIRE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED DUE TO INVOLUNTARY STUCK BRAKES.
