So there are a few issues that need to fixed with this that just randomly stopped working. First the driver side door will not unlock and sometimes it locks with my key fob. Second, My air bag Symbol has also popped up and will not go away. My horn will not honk and the right side on the steering wheel buttons suddenly stopped working. And now my passenger side back door will not open from the inside and out. These are things that shouldn-??t be happening to the car, it-??s not even 10 years old since I-??ve had the car. Please fix these issues which at the dealership charge an arm and a leg to fix these issues. We need recalls for these issue to get fixed that Hyundai couldn-??t do when they released these car types.

The air bag module (codeb1346) is non functioning in 2013 Hyundai Veloster. Manufacturer nor extended warranty will not cover as they deem airbag module part of the seat belt clause. I was informed this can cause airbags to not deploy in event of an accident. Hyundai is non responsive to inquiries about replacement. This is a major safety issue and, upon inquiry to other Veloster owners, this occurs very frequently in Hyundai Velosters.

I have had to have multiple items fixed on my 2013 Veloster turbo, I have had the factory speakers replaced because they have blown, had to have the A/C control job replaced and recently the red air bag light has come on. Mechanically it has been worse, at 72000 miles or so the turbo blew while driving at normal speed on the highway. This was fortunately covered under my warranty. I started having to replace spark plugs frequently as they became covered in oil, then in February my engine gave out. I took it to the dealership and they did a compression test and told me I needed a new engine. I was out of warranty by 5000 miles so I had to buy a used engine and have it replaced, three months later I got a recall letter in the mail saying the engine management system was recalled.
