2016 Hyundai Veloster

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND UPON STEPPING ON THE GAS, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS MAKING A HUMMING SOUND SIMILAR TO IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I CANNOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY POWER WHEN SHIFTING INTO SPORT MODE GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. IT MAKES AN ODD NOISE. I FELT CAR HICCUP AT FIRST WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS COULD BE A DCT ISSUE AND COULD BE SAFETY ISSUE ALSO. CAR IS AT APPROX 77,000 MILES AT THIS TIME. SIMILAR ACCELERATION ISSUES REPORTED WITH THIS VEHICLE BY MYSELF PRIOR ALTHOUGH NOT THIS SEVERE AND SPORT MODE WAS WORKING FINE. *TR

WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE RPMS GO UP . HAD THIS ISSUE AROUND 9K MILES 16K MILES AND AT 21K MILES CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR REVERSE TO WORK AGAIN. DURING FIRST STARTUP OF CAR IN GARAGE , ONCE TRYING TO REVERSE OUT OF PARKING LOT DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE BUT HAVE 2 DIFFERENT VIDEOS OF TIMES IT DID THIS.

VELOSTER HYUNDAI'S 7-SPEED DCT CONTAINS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) THAT CAUSES, AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, FAILURE TO SHIFT, STALLING, DELAYED ACCELERATION, OR LOSS OF POWER. 'THESE CONDITIONS ARE HAZARDOUS BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND PREVENT DRIVERS FROM ACCELERATING TO MAINTAIN SAFE SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC,'

I WAS SITTING IN A LINE OF CARS TO GET ON THE FREEWAY I MERGE INTO TRAFFIC TO HAVE THE CAR STUMBLE AND JUMP AND WONT GO, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO TAKE OFF LIKE A ROCKET AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2016 AND HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT, I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER, THEY HAD A RECALL AND FIXED IT FOR A WHILE, THEN THIS SAME THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON A DAILY BASIS, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE CAR IS OR ISNT GOING TO DO, WILL IT GO WHEN I NEED IT TO ? OR STALL THATS THE HUGE QUESTION, I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THEY ALL DRIVE LIKE THAT AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT TO DO, I HAVE GOTTEN RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO BECAUSE IM AFRAID IT WILL STALL OR LEAVE ME STRANDED, THIS MORNING IM COMING TO WORK AND STOPPED AT A SIGN, THEN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR I GO WELL NO I DONT BECAUSE THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS STUCK, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT FINALLY CAUGHT AND TOOK OFF, I AM A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVER SO ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IM EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE

UPON TURNING AND GOING OVER ANY KIND OF SIGNIFICANT BUMPS OR UNEVEN SURFACES THE VEHICLE FISH-TALES FROM THE BACK. I HAVE TRIED IT ON DIFFERENT STREETS TO ENSURE ITS THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO A SMALL PATCH OF UNEVEN ROAD. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES OVER THE SAME FREEWAY SPOT TO ENSURE IT WAST JUST MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOT GET THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO WITH MY VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN COMING TO A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP AND THEN PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY, EITHER IT WAITS TO ENGAGE AFTER THE CAR REACHES 4,000 RPM OR JERKS SUDDENLY INTO GEAR BOTH OCCUR ARE ON A DAILY BASIS. ANOTHER KEY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE HAPPENS WHEN TAKING MY FOOT FIRMLY OFF THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ON A HILL, PER THE MANUFACTURER THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO WAIT ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS ON A HILL TO ALLOW ME TIME TO STEP ON THE GAS TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AND PREVENT ROLLBACK INTO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES BEHIND ME HOWEVER IT IS EITHER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY OR DEFECTIVE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER (19,038 MILES). UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. RECENTLY, SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, STALLED, HAD VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP SAYS FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER LED TO LOWER ENGINE FAILURE. REPORTED UNIT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WOULD BE OVER A MONTH TO GET A SHORT BLOCK FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER MODELS WITH EXCESSIVE EXHAUST TEMPS CAUSING FAILURES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO REOCCUR. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILING ON NEW CARS AND CERTAINLY NOT TWICE WITH UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED SATURDAY FEB 16, 2019. CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS PRIMARILY OCCURS WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER WILL GO INTO PLACE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATER. SO FAR THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE RESOLVED BY PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTING IT.

PROBLEMS BEGAN APRIL 2017 WHEN I PLACED MY CAR IN GEAR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN BACK IN GEAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF. I DIDN'T THINK OF REPORTING IT AT THE TIME. OCT 2017, WHILE DECELERATING TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE RPMS SHOT UP TO 6500 AND THEN BACK DOWN. THEN BEGINNING ABOUT FEBRUARY I WOULD PLACE MY VEHICLE IN GEAR (BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVE) AND IT WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I RECORDED THESE, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN MAY THEY REPLACED THE SHIFT ACTUATOR AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT. THEN THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN JUNE SAYING THAT WOULD FIX IT. THEY REPLACED THE TCM AND TAC AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, AND AGAIN I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. I TOOK OFF FROM A PARKING LOT INTENDING TO TUEN LEFT ON TO THE STREET. I WAS CUT OFF BY A TRUCK COMING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES QUICKLY. ONCE THE TRUCK PASSED THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT JUST REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE.THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING MY WAY AS I SAT IN THE STRRET BUT THE VEHICLE FINALLY GOT BACK IN GEAR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR AHEAD STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO BRAKE. WHEN I LOOKED THE CAR WAS IN 3RD GEAR ACCORDING TO THE DASH DISPLAY. THE TRANSMISSION LAGSAND SOMETIMES DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN IF YOU CREEP AT A RED LIGHT. THE RECALL HAS MADE IT WORSE AND NOW THE DEALER REFUSES TO COMMUNICATE OR SET UP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I AM IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HYUNDAI. I WAS SENT A VIDEO BY HYUNDAI SHOWING HOW YOU HAVE TO MODIFY YOUR DRIVING HABITS OF 56 YEARS. I WAS NEVER INSTRUCTED OF THIS AT PURCHASE OR TOLD ABOUT IT. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN VOLUNTARY REPOSESSION.
