At this time there were still no warning lights on the dash, the car slowed down to roughly 30/35mph presenting a significant danger to myself and other traffic as this was on a major highway with heavy amounts of traffic.

airbags 3 complaints shown
My accident the air bag did not deploy hitting another vehicle it deployed after hitting a curb which would have been 2 nd impact to deploy it should have come out then, the bar in the head rest came out which cut my head and I received staples in my head. What the other metal things that flew out of the steering I don't know but they cut and burned my arm very bad. I was going straight on a two lane street. When the car backed into to the intersection it did not come from my right or my left. I was 3/4 of the way across the intersection when this car appeared backing up. I could not stop in time and hit it in the rear of their car.*dt
The Airbag warning light came on soon after I bought the car and I took it to the dealership. They said it was sensor under passenger seat and repaired. A week later, did it again. Said it was probably another bad sensor under seat. It intermittently goes off and on now every few months. I have no idea if the airbag would work if I were in an accident. I haven’t continued to keep taking it back for more new sensors anymore. (I don’t believe every single new sensor they put in has gone bad.) So I’m at a loss what to do.

powertrain 3 complaints shown
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.
Vehicle makes a loud noise when shifting and sometimes will not shift at all.
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.

steering 1 complaint shown
I purchased a new 2017 veloster in may 2018. Beginning in mid august I started to have problems with the car not stopping and the steering wheel locking when attempting to stop. It happened on 3 different occasions. Escalating each time. The first time it happened I almost hit someone in the back. The second time I almost ended up in oncoming traffic going through the stop light. The third time I got into an accident while trying to make a turn and the wheel and brakes did the same thing again...making my car not driveable currently. My car has about 3000 miles on it. Each time this occurred I was on a city street with stop lights. Average speed 35-45 .
