2013 Hyundai Veloster

On October 17, 2024, owner was leaving Denver, CO on the highway and had to stop for traffic and vehicle wouldn't move. Was in drive but vehicle would not drive and pulled to side of road. Had insurance tow to nearest Hyundai dealership. Check engine light was on and dealership checked vehicle and needed to have the crankshaft position sensor replaced. Fixed the problem thank God and I was on my road shortly there after. My Veloster is 2013 with 47,000 miles at time of incident.

Vehicle is burning through oil without having oil light engaged. Vehicle is going through two quart + of oil every 3 weeks. Just added 2 quarts of oil 3 weeks ago when the car would not accelerate past 5mph and rough idled (this turned out to be caused by a different issue still being diagnosed), I added the oil as dip stick showed no oil on the stick. Light did not come on. Took to independent mechanic this week who stated I had no oil in the vehicle. Can not go 3 month/3000 miles for an oil change or the engine would be damaged. Have taken the vehicle several times to Valvoline who indicate no oil with no oil pressure light on, each time. This has been constant for 2 years. Each mechanic shop states the GDI engines are burning through oil. No oil leaks have been detected. This issue could result in serious engine damage.

First the turbo stopped working n smoking. Took it to the dealer n they had it for a month.. Get it back one day later had to have it towed . Vehicle was there for another 2 weeks got it back and it started to smoke. I pressed on the gas pedal n the car wouldn’t move! The first time the turbo was supposed to be replaced I believe ever since it was sent there to be replaced it was never the same. I still have the car and it will not start. The turbo n engine are filled with oils .

The Plug that connects to the AC control Unit is burned and damaged. In fact, When I replaced it its smells like smoke. It is the third time since 2018 that I changed the unit. I decided to officially make a complaint because I saw that this vehicles and exact models from 2014-2016 where included but My year not ( 2013). I called the Hyundai and they told me that I needed to buy the unit and go fix it in a dealer. I found it unfair because is a defect of the car not something People can make to the car. The campaing nunber is: 16-01-070 from december 2016 ( and my car where not included) The problem is not the unit is the plug that cames from the car that connects to the unit that melts and gets burned.( but the unit is damaged due to this)

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming 3 quarts of oil every 3,500 miles. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal sound and pulled to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon inspecting the engine oil level, there was no oil on the dipstick. The contact stated that the low oil pressure warning light failed to illuminate. The contact then pulled into the nearest gas station, where oil was added to the engine. The contact stated that the low oil pressure warning light had failed to illuminate while the engine oil level was low on several occasions. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the low oil pressure warning was designed to illuminate when the oil level was 2 quarts low; however, the contact stated that the warning light had failed to illuminate. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for an oil consumption test. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

This complaint is regarding safety recall #23V651000 related to my 2013 Hyundai Veloster. In September of 2023, a potential problem with the ABS module was identified which could cause an engine compartment fire while driving or parked. It is now February, 2024, 5 months later and there is still no resolution. This is unacceptable. I am driving a vehicle which could result in personal property damage and/or personal injury or death. Being told to park the vehicle outdoors and away from structures is not a long term solution until the recall remedy is completed. How much longer am I, and others going to have to wait for a resolution to this issue?

I am concerned with the notice of a recall which I received June 2023 concerning a possible electrical fault in the ABS module which could cause a fire in the engine compartment. There is NO fix available . I called my local Hyundai garage and the Hyundai corp office and they both told me the same thing and that is they do not have a fix and do not know when one will be available' I find this unacceptable and stalling by the Hyundai Company I am told that I should park the car away from the house as it might catch fire wether the car is running or not. After 8 months i can only suppose the Hyundai Company is ignoring the problem because it will cost them money I would be most grateful if you could light a fire under Hyundai, so to speak, so that they will solve this problem [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the HVAC system was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the wiring to the HVAC control switch was burned. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V393000 (Equipment). The vehicle was diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,358.

Climate control switch melted and caused a small fire. I had to pull my dash apart very quicky to put it out. The Hyundai dealership would not help me even though a 2014 Elantra and Veloster has had technical service bulletins regarding this issue. They charged me 200$ dollars to tell me the switch melted even though I had already pulled it apart and showed them the issue. I spoke to Hyundai USA about it and they did not help me either. I bought the part and replaced it myself after the dealer tried to tell me it was almost 700$ for the repair. My son was in a panic because the cab of the car was filling with smoke as we were driving. No warnings or anything.
