The ac controller quit working so I looked and the wires had burned behind the dash also melted the switch seen online it seems to be a very common issue with thiscar
I bought a 2013hyundai Veloster in April of 2019 with in the first 2 days of having car it stopping accelerating an left me on the side of road. I had to car towed back to the dealer where the car was bought. After them looking in to the problem they ended up replacing the catalytic converter. The car ran fine for about another 5 to 6 months. Then one day bad rough idel rpms dropping when under acceleration after putting on code reader it turned out to be a misfire I then replace coil pack and spark plugs. The Veloster ran fine for about 3 to 4 months this time. Now we are back to the car having issues today 7/11/20 loss of power under acceleration, rough idel, knocking sound coming from engine. I have contacted Hyundai in the past on the 2013 ECU recall they did not want to honor there recall saying in order to look in to the problem I'd need to get it diagnosed through the dealer when I can simply use my owe code reader. It has been nothing but issues with this vehicle I bought with only 63000 miles this is frustrating is there anything that can be done for Hyundai to honor there recall thank you.
My car stalled at a red light. Even though the engine was running and there were no mechanical lights on, the car wouldn't go when I pressed the gas. After turning the car off and on several times, it wouldn't move. It had to be pushed out of the street and after 20 minutes of resting, it worked again.

The air/fuel mixture in the engine caused the oil to burn through faster than it should, increased pressure and caused the cylinder to damage the engine. This resulted in me having to replace the engine. The electrical system caused the vehicle to idle rough at low RPM, and eventually stalled at an intersection on a busy highway.
I bought my car May 2016 it had an odd smell once I started using my ac unit but couldn't figure it out. In August I lost level 1 and 2 on my blower knob, and in October 2018 I lost all heat and the blower knob no longer worked. I oreder an oem dash control unit and had a co-worker install it for me. Sept. 2019 I again lost level 1 and 2 of the fan blower. I contacted the supplier and was told this is only under warranty if it was installed at a certified shop and only if I put on 12K miles and under 1 year. I wasn't able to use my warranty due to I had my co-worker in stall. Feb 14th 2020 remote started my car as it is very cold in wi. When I got to my car I thought it was on fire due to the smell inside my car. I saw no smoke or flames. I drove home from work and the smell was horrible I had to crack the window it was so strong and drove in the slow lane in case my car burst in to flames so I could get out. Feb. 16th my while driving my car the smell of burning plastic was overwhelming and then suddenly I lost total heat and the knob for the blower no longer worked. Feb. 17th I bought another heater from the same oem online store. I brought it to work when it arrived on the 20th. The same C-worker went to install it and he said he wouldn't install it because he didn't want me to die from my car starting on fire as the cable harness connector is melted. I launched a complaint with Hyundai the same day. I was given a case number and told to wait to hear back within 24 hours due to the fire issue/safety concern. I did hear from roberta from corporate and I went over the details, she said they would pay for towing and car rental. I took my car in to a Hyundai dealership and am being told that I have to pay $136 because they need to rule out that it's not my remote starter causing the issue that I had installed at best buy. This is a known issue of that component melting
While driving in the highway I had a burn wire smell when my air conditioner was set at blower speed 4 and it stop working at that setting. I was doing dome research and found the controller has a tendency to get burn indide due to be unable to hold the blower electrical load. I think this can turn into a fire hazard. Found info in forums, youtube videos etc. Lot of people is dealing with this to the point they replace the part with an original one and the new one gets burn again. The controller pn: 97250-2V010-bpd
The knob on to the ac and heat in the vehicle burned out and doesnt work. According to main websites, this issue happens alot and continues to be an issue for many even after it's been replaced.
The fan switch for the HVAC quit working, so I took the climate control module off to see what the problem was and noticed the switch itself was melted and burned, as if there was a fire and/or the voltage is too high. This is a severe fire hazard and should be looked into immediately. I am not the only person having this issue.
The heating control unit knob does not set on the various settings (1-4) and does not blow heat or air correctly. Many people have had this issue and end up having to replace the unit themselves. The issue is the contacts get burned out and no longer work. This is a serious fire hazard and I dont know why a recall hasnt been issued. If you search online you will see numerous examples of what I am referring to. If I replace this myself I have to risk damaging my car or electrocuting myself and paying for an expensive part. The other option is have a mechanic do it and end up spending over 500$ for something that should not be malfunctioning. Please investigate this serious issue and do the right thing.
The temperature control keeps melting I have read they are a lot of compliments about this fire hazard I have replaced it 3 times but the wording harness is burnt
Fan blower switch no longer functions on setting 1 or 2. setting 3 and 4 work for now. A faint electrical smell was detected shortly after I changed the fan speed.
The climate control/fan speed selector knob melts and burns out, causing a potential fire hazard. Voltage is too high for the material they are using and thus causes it to melt and burn out.
The ac fan control switch on the dash melts on the back of it and causes the switch to only work on speed 1 and in some cases not at all. Now ive researched this multiple times and many many people have had the same issue that im having and some have even had their while car catch fire. So to better explain im adding a youtube link that explains what has happened. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=1ckrhib7xnu&feature=share
