Clunk and lag in the steering caused by worn rubber coupler mdps - after 48000 miles - appears to be a known issue with no recall/warranty
I purchased my 2014 veloster turbo right off of the showroom floor. When I was driving home , 90 miles from the dealership, I noticed it was really hard to keep my car straight in the road. I physically have to force my car to stay straight on the straightest highways. I took it to the dealership the next day and it was found to be out of alignment . They aligned it, only to experience the same issue driving back home. I have now had my vehicle in to 3 different Hyundai dealerships and have records of the adjustments. It is still not aligned making it very difficult to drive safely . At 5k miles we were driving on a road trip and had been driving all day. We were getting back on the interstate and my check engine light started flashing and my car started slowing down even though I was tr
Out of the blue my steering wheel seem to become loose and starting making a click sound when turned turned to the right or left. Although other Hyundai vehicles have recalls for the same problem, my veloster is not. It is a known problem for this car maker and they will not cover the huge bill to repair it unless you are still under a warranty. It is not safe!
My steering wheel was dramatically clunking whenever I turned it. After taking it to a mechanic, he informed me that it was the steering coupler issue, which is apparently a problem on multiple vehicles which are being covered under an extended warranty, but not mine. I don't understand why this part, which has obviously failed in the past, is being covered under warranty on other vehicles. I have provided a picture of the part once it was removed. It is quite clearly a safety issue which could have had fatal consequences. After being charged roughly $250 in labor, I found out the part was $1.53. It is sickening that a 2014 veloster with 56,000 miles on it should have this problem.
Clacking noise within steering wheel (defective coupler) vehicle makes noise while in motion during any traffic situation and including turning.

The second cylinder is not firing. The car stalled when on highway.
Vehicle stopped driving under its own power after driving for several miles on a couple occasions. Usually after driving at about 60mph for 30 miles or more. It either bogs down giving time to pull of the road or stops completely after trying to accelerate after a complete stop. Vehicle is giving a p420 error code but exhaust technicians say it is not the catalytic converter. Vehicle will drive after exhaust system has been given time to cool. Compression is bein lost in one cylinder as determined by Hyundai dealership. Dealership claims a new engine and converter is required. Results appear to be the same conditions as listed in sc176 for the Kia soul 1.6l gdi engine. High exhaust gas temperatures may damage the catalytic converter, possibly resulting in abnormal engine combustion and dam

Took car to dealership and verified the block had cracked. I asked why, the car only had 65800 miles on it. They said my last oil change looked good, they have no idea. Not covered under warranty.

They said sometimes they just don't know why. My mom and I were stranded on the freew

The ac/heater blower motor controller in this vehicle and every model that shares the same style knob has a serious defect. Along with the fire hazard this presents it also effects the use of defrost which can be a serious issue in some climates and the switch may fail completely rendering the defrost functionally unusable. Attached you will see images of the inside and outside of the switch in question as well as the connector for the switch which have suffered serious heat damage. This is a fire hazard. Hyundai chose to use the switch itself as the current passing conductor instead of a relay as used by most manufacturers. This decision is clearly reflected as a negligent one with regards to the structure of the switch and incorrect gauge of the wiring used for said switch. With normal u

On 09/23/2017 I was driving on the highway on a sunny day, around 80 degrees with my sunroof closed, and the sunroof cover open to allow the sunlight in. While driving on the highway about a mile from my exit, I heard a loud bang that startled me (sounded like gunshot), all of a sudden I felt stuff hitting my head, face, and shoulders. I look up and saw my sunroof exploded with shattered glass flying all over my car and realized glass is what was hitting me face and body. Luckily, the sound of the sunroof exploding and glass flying all over the place, I was able to still keep control of my car. I slowed down to exit the highway and pull into a parking so I could get out of the vehicle and look it over. I never saw anything fly up at my car, or at my car when this happened. There were no
