On March 8, 2023, I was waiting at a red light and since the weather was really nice, it was cloudy and not too cold I decided to open my sunroof and when all of the sudden I felt glass raining all over me, my sunroof exploded! I got little cuts over my face and arms because of the glass, and my back and arms felt itchy because of the tiny little pieces of glass. I was on my way to pick up the girls from daycare, I'm so grateful they were not with me at the incident moment and that the car was not on motion. Now, they are charging me over $1000 dlls on repairs. I just got this car less than 2 months ago, I barely pay my first payment and this happens!?

Driving on cruise control on interstate, the 2014 Hyundai Veloster felt like it lost power.The engine light flashed a few times. White smoke came out of rear as started to merge it made a low clank noise from the engine compartment. Pulled over off of interstate and popped hood to check the engine and realized there was fire coming from all over the engine. 2014 Hyundai Veloster financed not even made the first payment either. Had 120,043 miles on it. Dealership claimed that they did a recon on it before they turned it over to us. We did take it back in because the engine turned off as he was idling at stop lights. It was harder and harder to get started, it got to the point where it would stop running while moving. The dealership could not Replicate the problem and therefore turned it back over to us. Codes P0302 and P0335 came on. There were no recalls on the 2014 models but the year before and after. Doesn-??t make sense, since they all had engine problems, catching on fire.

Car spontaneously loses power to engine while in motion. When starting the vehicle, the engine sometimes struggles to turn over and does not correctly read RPM as this dial will read 0 RPM even while in motion. When this occurs it is accompanied by difficulty accelerating uphill and bucking. On 2/24/2021, while driving up a small hill on a city street, the engine shut off and the no key detected light turned on. The engine turned back on about 1 second later and dash read 0 RPM even though the vehicle was accelerating. On 2/25/2021 while pulling forward in a drive thru restaurant line, the vehicle's engine shut off and the no key light, battery light and check oil lights came on. I took a picture of the dash at this time. I turned the vehicle completely off and restarted it. Dash continued to read 0 RPM but was able to accelerate. I turned the vehicle off again and then restarted it a second time and the vehicle then seemed to be functioning properly for the remainder of the drive.

Passenger rear door fails to open (from the inside or outside) resulting from defective door actuator mechanism. This problem is an obvious safety concern as passengers cannot exit the vehicle in case of an emergency.

The first issue was the clutch. I was driving in charlotte, nc city traffic and the clutch stuck to the floor and made my car stall. I was able to pull it up with my foot and restart the car. I had no indication that the clutch was bad. It wasn't slipping at all and I had no difficulty shifting gears prior to this happening. The next issue was the engine. I was driving on the highway and it lost power. It wouldn"T accelerate properly. I took it to the dealer and they said the turbo went first and then metal from the turbo went into the engine and ruined the engine. They said the clutch needed replacing. The car doesn't even have 71,000 miles on it. I wouldn't expect an engine to be ruined at less than 71,000 miles. I was terrified being in traffic in this unsafe vehicle wondering if I was going to be hit. The entrance below asks for a specific date, here are the occurrences and dates: June 2019 clutch sticks to the floor and stalls in traffic several times. Take to aaa auto services as soon as it happens and they can find nothing wrong. Continues to happen approx. Once a week. Sept 12 the engine starts whining, revving and losing power all at the same time when the gas pedal is pressed while in traffic on the highway Sept 13 check engine light comes on and nav screen stopped responding and doesn't have much power Sept 14 even further power loss, smoke coming from exhaust, car stalls and stops while in charlotte city traffic. Take to dealer. Diagnosed with stated above.
