2013 Hyundai Veloster

No lamp messages, however the front and rear windshield wipers will not stop when put in the off position. Windshield sprayers will not activate. I've had to pull the fuses to the wipers, though now the wipers work when turned on, but will not seat themselves nor does the sprayer mechanism work still. In neither situation of fuses in or not, I have no intermittent on options for either front or back windshield wipers. When driving, if I get spashed with snow/slush, I lose all visibility; and can only blindly pull over use a spray bottle and hand towel to clean my windows. I have been finding that this is a problem with not just my vehicle, but that it is a repeat problem for multiple people with the same car make and model. I hope nobody is ran over because a driver can't see due to faulty windshield wiper controls.

THE CONTACT CLEANED OUT THE SHATTERED GLASS AND DROVE HOME AFTER EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH WILSON PREMIER HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (450 STEED RD, RIDGELAND, MS 39157) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,128.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROL FAN SWITCH MELTED, WHICH AFFECTED THE FAN SPEED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED DUELL'S EVANSVILLE HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 4400 E DIVISION ST, EVANSVILLE, IN 47715, (812) 473-4400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL FAN SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY WIFE HAS A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER TURBO AND THE HVAC SYSTEM HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE MATTER I DISCOVERED A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. THE POWER WIRE LEADING TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR AND DESTROYED THE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE. THIS COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE IMMEDIATELY TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE AND SO THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR COSTS FULLY. I ALSO INFORMED THEM OF TWO OTHER ISSUES, ONE, THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND TWO, ONE OF THE LED LIGHTS IN THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT IS OUT. I RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER FROM THEM, #15272744. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT LANCASTER HYUNDAI LOCATED ON MAIN STREET IN EAST PETERSBURG PA AND DROPPED THE CAR OFF. I ALSO INFORMED THEM OF ALL THE ISSUES AND MY FINDINGS (THIS WAS YESTERDAY 1/18/19). THIS MORNING (1/19/19) I RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM SERVICE ADVISOR DAVID COREY WHO LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL STATING THAT HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND TELLING ME TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. SINCE THEN I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE TO NO AVAIL. THIS ISSUE WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND THERE HAS EVEN BEEN A RECALL FOR IT ISSUED BY HYUNDAI BUT FOR SOME REASON MY WIFE'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE UPLOADED PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGED CONNECTOR AND WIRING HARNESS AS WELL AS A PHOTO FROM ANOTHER HYUNDAI VELOSTER OWNER WHICH SHOWS THE RECALL FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE. I AM THANKFUL TO GOD THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH FIRE SINCE MY WIFE AND TWO YEAR OLD SON TRAVEL IN IT EVERY DAY. I JUST WANT HYUNDAI TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND COVER THE COSTS TO REPAIR THIS FACTORY DEFECT.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SENT GLASS FLYING INTO AND AROUND CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING NEARBY THAT COULD HAVE HIT AND DAMAGED THE SUNROOF SO VIOLENTLY, AND THE INCIDENT SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS 2012 HYUNDAI MODELS COVERED IN THE RECALL. THE CAR IS A 2013 TURBO MODEL THOUGH, SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF I WASN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IN ADVANCE SO I COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND REACT ACCORDINGLY. HYUNDAI WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM SINCE ITS OUTSIDE OF THE INITIAL WARRANTY DESPITE THE FACT THAT ITS CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER SUNROOF RECALL. OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDE HAVING TO HAVE A CLUTCH REPLACED AT 45000 DUE TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER DEFECT (CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR), AND NEEDING AN ENGINE REPLACED AT 60000 FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW (DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH 12 MILES ON ODOMETER) AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, DONE BY THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. SO FAR THE CAR IS GIVING ME MORE PROBLEMS THE LONGER I OWN IT.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE SUNROOF VIOLENTLY EXPLODE AND THE COVER STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN DROPPING GLASS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN GOING OFF INSIDE THE CAR. I REALLY STARTLED AND LUCKILY GOT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LIKE MOST I HAVE READ THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. WITH SUCH HIGH MILAGE OF COURSE THE WARRANTY IS OUT ON IT. SO I WILL BE STUCK OUT OF POCKET FOR FIXING IT
