The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal before the vehicle surged forward. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the DTC scanner determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. Prior to the transmission failure, the engine and exhaust system were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle.

Today the vehicle was hesitant to start but did. After two stops I turned car off, went into a business. When I came out the car would start but would not go forward or backwards but rev up. I nearly slammed into a curb in the process. I have a video of this.

My vehicle has a defective transmission that slips at times and won't always go into gear. This is a serious safety issue that happens randomly mostly during the summer months. The problem has occured about four times during the year that I have owned it. It a very scary thing to deal with when you're out in traffic and trying to drive safely. The dealer service department says that they have to duplicate the problem in order to take action at all. Since this is an intermittent problem that happens in the summer months, I can't even get it repaired, or replaced until the weather warms up. This is a dangerous problem that Hyundai is aware of, I was told by Hyundai that the Hyundai tuscon has the same problem only worse. As of now they have not issued a recall on any of these vehicles for this particular problem. The service manager told me that the problem is with the clutch pacs and that a verified problem vehicle gets those clutch pacs replaced as long as the vehicle is still under warranty. My vehicle has 54879 miles on it and is under warranty through 100,000 miles unless this causes an accident.

While driving, the car loses power, as if the transmission stops working and then the engine revs up very high, but the car stops pulling. This happens while driving on straight a ways, has happened when crossing in front of traffic, doing turns. You have to let off of the gas and wait a few seconds and then when you press the has, the power suddenly returns. It just stalls out. There is currently a class action that includes this issue because so many experience it and Hyundai says they can't find anything wrong.

I was traveling in a snowstorm on the highway. The engine began revving and the tachometer went way up. No traction control light went on and I began slowing down with vehicles behind me. I pulled through the traffic and got to the shoulder. The car was still in drive but the wheels wouldn't turn. I called the dealership and they said to have it towed. I shut the engine off, opened the door and tried again. Nothing. No forward movement. After 10 minutes I tried again and it worked, I began moving forward. This happened ever half mile or so until I got to the dealership, 8 miles away. The engine light came on. They tested it and the service tech said the wheels must have been spinning and I should get snow tires. I assured him that the wheels did not spin. He stated that the computer didn't receive an error so there is not a problem. They reset the engine light and I left. It hasn't happened since, but now I am scared to drive if it snows again. You literally lose all forward motion on the highway and slow way down as you attempt to move to the shoulder around other vehicles. I sent an email to Hyundai who said to take it to a different dealership. I originally took it to nashua Hyundai in nh.
