2013 Hyundai Veloster

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH and the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal remained floored and the vehicle did not slow down as intended. The vehicle was parked and the contact observed condensation under the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

A few months ago, my ABS and Traction Control lights began to come on and off randomly. Then, new lights would pop up, such as Check Engine and the Brake light. These lights would come on, and then go off very sporadically. In the last week, it had gotten much worse. My tire pressure light and EPS light had came on as well, totaling about 6 or 7 lights that are on and won't go off. Then, my steering wheel became increasingly hard to turn, I' m guessing because the EPS was off. Then, my speedometer completely stopped working, and my gas gauge was jumping up and down after I had filled it to a full tank. I pulled the code, and got code for a wheel speed sensor. I replaced the wheel speed sensor, and no lights went off. I then inspected the fuses, noticed that the ABS fuse was blown, and decided to replace it. I replaced it, and the ABS module (or pump) started to smoke badly. The car had a heavy electrical smoke smell and I didn't think it was safe to drive for a while. Hyundais have had recalls for ABS modules smoking before, but never for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, and I believe that is something that should be investigated because I believe I could have been injured.

BRAKES LOSE OF BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN BUMPS ARE HIT. REAPPLY BRAKES TO REGAIN PRESSURE ENGINE BURNING OIL ISSUES AND OVERHEATING ISSUES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MY 1.6 L HAVING ENGINE FAILURE AND IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AS THE 2.0'S AND UP ARE. BEING THAT THEY ARE THE SAME MOTOR OTHER THAN THE SIZE OF PISTONS AND TURBO CONFUSES ME

I BOUGHT MY 2013 VELOSTER IN SEPTEMBER 2012. SOMETIME BETWEEN 2016 AND 2017(NOT QUITE SURE), MY PARKING BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE PARKED. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI WANTED $900 PLUS TO REPAIR. MY CAR WAS PASS THE 60K WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, WHO REPAIRED THE BRAKES BUT THEY NEVER WORKED. SO I DECIDED TO JUST DRIVE WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES UNTIL LAST YEAR, 2019 WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COPIED AND PASTED THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT POSTED BY ANOTHER HYUNDAI OWNER ON THIS SITE: 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. I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME THING, BUT MORE. LAST YEAR, 2019 MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING BUT SINCE I KNEW I HAD NO PARKING BRAKES, I DECIDED TO HAVE MY BRAKES CHECKED. BF GOODRICH CHECKED MY BRAKES AND REPAIRED MY REAR BRAKES BUT INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKES. IT COST ME ABOUT $900 AGAIN. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THESE REPAIRS, BUT I AM UNABLE TO SCAN AND UPLOAD THEM NOW. PLEASE PROVIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN SEND THEM,

2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER NON TURBO 39,000 MILES CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE AND ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A RURAL ROAD, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR LOST POWER. I NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENGINE HAD A LOUD TICKING SOUND THAT IT DID NOT HAVE PRIOR TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH COST SHARE FROM HYUNDAI. THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE ISSUE AND HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE KIA SOUL WITH THE 1.6L ENGINE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN FULL BY THE MANUFACTURER.

I HAVE A HYUNDAI VELOSTER 2013, I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH ON MONDAY BUT WENT OFF. TUESDAY MORNING WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT THE DRIVE WAY MY CAR GOT STUCK IN REVERSE. THE CAR THAT WAS COMING ALMOST HIT ME HE HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. HE THEN GOT OUT THE CAR AND HELPED ME GET IT BACK IN TO PARK. IT TOOK US ABOUT 15 MINS TO GET IT. I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIX IT HE TOLD ME TO GO HOME AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A CALL IF THEY GET A APT OPEN. SO ON MY WAY HOME MY CAR WAS JERKING I PULLED OVER AT THE STORE AND GOT STUCK MY CAR WOULDN'T GOT INTO PARK, SO I WAS SITTING THERE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK FOR ABOUT 30 MINS UNTIL I GOT IT TO PARK. I HAVE CALLED CORPORATE OFFICE AND NOTHING STILL HAS HAPPENED I AM ABOUT TO RETURN THIS DANG CAR. *TR

DURING MODERATE BRAKING ON ROUGH ROADS THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD BANG. AT THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THIS VEHICLE SUFFERED FOUR FLAT TIRES DURING THE 2013/2014 WINTER IN MICHIGAN DUE TO POT HOLES. TWO OF THE WHEELS HAD TO BE REPLACE DURING ONE INCIDENT. TIRE PROFILE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ROADS IN THIS AREA. DEALER HAD VEHICLE FOR A WEEK BUT DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM. *TR
