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.

So the vehicle wants to hesitate and buck violently to the point of nearly stalling out while accelerating and prevents the car from being able to merge into highway traffic in a safe manner and the surrounding years make and model are all on a recall due to a E.C.U. required update for a necessary reflashing for the ability to be use the automobile in the way it's designer/designers can make make want h. The severity and frequency of the problems are embarrassing and frustrating to be scared of risking my life being injured in a stalled/stalling vehicle without a power supply to navigate

I bought the 2013 Base Version Veloster w/ 80,000 miles on it back in 2021, beginning of January having no problems with the vehicle. Halfway through the month my Veloster started having on and off transmission problems, then at the end of the month, not even a month into owning the vehicle, my car won-??t go into gear and my gear light is blinking on my dashboard. I do my research and see ALOT of Velosters have this problem, but don-??t know the reason for it. So I proceed to take it to a trusted mechanic that does a diagnoses and determines I need a new TMC module, and also determined nothing else was wrong with the car. I had to wait 8 months to get the part from the Hyundai dealership and finally when they get it fixed, they tell me to take it to the Hyundai dealership to get it reprogram, because the car was put into limp mode after the new module was put in. After I picked up my vehicle, I took it to the dealership. I left them with all the information and insist that I only want to reprogram my TCM Module. They proceed to do a diagnosis on my car and call me the same day, saying They have a recall on the rode bearings and also that I need a new transmission, and will replace it for 7,100$. I was mortified. The vehicle is only 80,000, and I already have to replace the transmission after buying the vehicle, I feel scammed. If I see that thousands of people are having this same problem, I believe it needs to be address.

Driving on the interstate back from work going 60+ mph. The Vehicle TURNS OFF AND I LOST POWER, my RPMS DROPPED TO 0 and it was no longer accelerating. It-??s AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I had to cruise my way off to the side and get my car towed to a shop. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED

Replaced the manual climate control on my 2013 hyundai veloster. The connector to the unit is melted.

- Hamilton , OH, USA

Shortly after I purchased the vehicle, used from carmax, the lighting on the steering wheel stopped turning on and would randomly come on while driving, usually after about 10-15 minutes and while turning.. it no longer comes on at all and none of the steering wheel buttons work anymore either, nor does my horn.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

The climate control switch has been replaced multiple times. The main harness where clips in is burnt an is melting my switch out after being changed an used for few hours it then burns out. The car smells like it's melting threw the vent of plastic.

- Gouldsboro, PA, USA

My second HVAC control unit has melted. The plug is burnt. Thus is a ridiculously normal issue, you know when it fail because you smell the burning plastic before the heat shuts off.

- Findlay, OH, USA

Ive replaced the engine three time due to failure. The failure of the gdi motors is imminent. On a different note, the climate control knob heats up and burns out the metal strip behind the knob which causes the knob to eventually become useless.

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

Fan speeds for heat and A/C no longer work when the dial is placed on the number for the speed of the fan. To get speed #2 to blow, the dial is actually somewhere around position 2.5. to get speed #3 to blow, the dial needs to be at about 3.5, will not work with dial placed on the number 3 like it should. Same issue with fan speed #4. after removing dash panels to inspect, wires and electrical connections are getting so hot to the point that they melt. This is a fire hazard.

- Littleton, CO, USA

Smelled a burning plastic smell and later realized that setting #4 on HVAC fan no longer worked. Vehicle was in motion on a highway at the time.

- Clear Spring, MD, USA

Most of not all owners of Hyundai/Kia vehicles experience a short in the climate control unit. This fault not only creates a visibility issue while driving the car in adverse weather. But may also cause spark fire associated with the climate control knob.

- New Milford, CT, USA

The head light bulbs have been replaced 6 times, and the 'brain' of the car has been replaced 2 times (with a refurbished ones, (not new). I understand there was a recall for make and year of my car for the software replacement because of electrical issues. I don't understand why my particular car was not listed. My car is having electrical issues!!!
