Since purchasing my car in 2015, I've had to have the A/C knob replaced 3 times for it melting on the inside and disconnecting, being unable to control the fan. That seems extremely hazardous and ridiculous that nothing has been said about it before. I've searched many forums and it has been a common from problem for many people with this same car. Just so happened that someone who mentioned theirs was smoking inside of the car suggested we can actually report the issue, so I am submitting mine in hopes it's be noticed.

My 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo had no open recalls. On 12/26/21, while stopped at a light, the car stalled, then started smoking, and caught fire almost instantly. There are known fire issues for similar models for which there are open recalls, but my car was not a part of these recalls.

Back in 2015 my dad bought me a brand new Veloster Turbo. Within the first 100 days of ownership my car had multiple electrical power outages. I would be driving at a speed of 55mph (Speed Limit) and all of a sudden the car would stop working. The gas didn-€™t work and all the electrical parts went out. This event happened multiple times but off and on. When I took it to the dealership they didn-€™t experience the issue so they couldn-€™t resolve it. I had a case against Hyundai but they didn-€™t care. From the Whistleblower that just came out against Hyundais safety protocols I have a firm belief Hyundai knew that there engines were faulty and my life was almost taken. Another incident was on the freeway driving the speed limit and all of a sudden everything stops working and turns off. Almost got killed that day due to cars almost hitting my car on the side of the road. I have had so many issues with my car and its been at a dealership for 3 weeks now. Another electrical issue has happened after they installed a new engine. It happened off an on and wouldn-€™t start randomly. The battery was great and everything checked out. The dealership is now looking at my car because they experienced the issue themselves. I am looking for a settlement due to safety protocols being ignored.I have proof from Laguna Niguel Hyundai and the problem should be documented by them. However the dealership seems sketchy and very bad customer service. I have been worried about this ever since the first problem. Its been a roller coaster and has almost cost me my life.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that sometimes the driver-side window would not engage when the button was depressed to roll the window up or down. The contact stated that she had to shake the window for the window to engage when the button was depressed. The contact also stated that due to the window ceasing, the contact was not allowed to open the driver-side door from the inside. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the interior trim, the window regulator, and the trunk latch needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure occurred. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer where it was diagnosed with nothing needing to be replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 57,244.

I have reported an issue to ronnie freeze, service manager at O. B., Ms. Hyundai in April 2015. Less than 3 months after purchase. I had engine and starting failure for 15-25 minutes after a check sensor code popped up. I gave this code to service, and all they could say was, 'well, I never heard of that'. let me know if it happens again. And it did, and I reported it, and... nothing. Same old thing, don't know what that could be. Well after the third time, I began to feel the car running still even when the key was removed. Sounds crazy but I had multiple family members who witnessed this issue. Scary that I reported this also, but nobody knew anything to do. Mr. Freeze at olive branch Hyundai acted like I was crazy. I know when there is an issue and I say that I have had one since I signed papers on 01/23/2015. I am extremely lucky that a fire hasn't started with my vehicle apparently not completely shutting down. I feel that someone has known about the current situation with the engine and I also feel that I purchased a lemon this time with Hyundai. I love my car and truly hate the feeling of not knowing if I will be safe the next time I get in my vehicle to drive anywhere. I feel that a satisfactory response is needed immediately from Hyundai as to what I should expect from them. I need answers right away. It has been too long or Hyundai to decide what the solution will be. I need a response from the company now! I no longer put 100% trust in Hyundai. What could the recall cover" a replacement engine, and replacement rod bearings, and everything else that could be damaged" I feel like Hyundai has failed major by not doing anything to remedy the defect in a reasonable amount of time!! I don't have a safe car to drive anywhere now. I want answers.

Approximately 1 year after purchasing my vehicle (roughly 2017) while driving on the highway my fan control knob started spinning freely, it still worked but concerned I called my dealership who all but dismissed the complaint. A few months later the knob started working intermittently and would on occasion cut off the fan if I were to hit a bump. By the end of 2019 the knob had completely stopped working. I had held off on getting it repaired as it is an expensive fix and after doing quite a lot of research I discovered it is an extremely common issue with my make and model car. It poses a serious hazard as where I live it is extremely humid and cold during the winter months and no amount of wiping and cleaning the windshield gets rid of all of the fog meaning it poses a real threat by limiting visibility.

The A/C knob, when air conditioning is turned on, lights up. This light burns up the inside of the knob and causes the connections to burn out which makes it impossible to change the air speed settings. Currently mine must sit at 3 or it doesnt work at all. I also have an issue with the head unit which blacked out and stopped working out of nowhere.

A/C fan speed control stopped working, only owned the car for 3 yrs. 75000 miles. Pulled HVAC unit from the dash to find melted connectors on the wiring harness and the back of the fan speed controller. A search online has turned up a plethora of others with the same issue in 2012-2015 Velosters. There's simply too much amperage running through the connection for the high speed fan setting with improper materials used in the construction of the parts to handle it. Simply put; this is a straight up fire hazard. The fact that there E been so many complaints, yet no action on Hyundai's part is negligent.

All the sensors are continual registering problem. Electrical system will stop working daily. Cannot have hood shut when key out of the ignition. If so alarm will go off. Suspension is off. It seems like the car is pulling a camper all the time. The problem has been continually getting worse the past 6 months.
