“I have had 3 tire blowouts on my 2012 Hyundai Veloster. All for the original Hyundai tires. 3 of the 4 tires have been replaced. The car only has 25,000 to date. I have never had any other vehicle with such consistent issues..”

NHTSA complaint #10587587, filed 2014-05, 23,000 miles

“Rolled backwards while parked in my driveway twice and vehicle was found out in the road by my neighbors. I was driving it a week ago and my RPM's were tacking really high but could not accelerate speed and I was in 6th gear and it was telling me to shift to 6th then 5th back and forth. Had it checked out at dealership and they said my clutch had abnormal wear and tear but wasn't covered under warranty. They did not check the parking break to see if it was what caused the malfunction of the clutch. …”

NHTSA complaint #10810172, filed 2015-12, 25,000 miles

“From 9/8/2015 to 11/14/15 I have had three tires needing replacement due to their sensitivity of minimal road conditions and getting damaged. Each time I hit a small pot hole, small enough to where I thought it was a dip in the road as I came upon it. But once there I couldn't safely maneuver around it to avoid it. The style of these tires are 18 wheels which leaves no room for cushion. I have never had a problem with my sports cars, so I didn't think to ask about tire issues when I purchased this one. …”

NHTSA complaint #10567047, filed 2014-03, 14,000 miles

“The low rider rear tires were making loud noises - rear left went flat - cheap tires because the belts were showing through the tire - got towed to bangor, maine to nearest dealership - they replaced the faulty tire and told me the left one was also showing through the belts. So every 27685 miles I'll need to pay $390.00 ?? That's right, they charged me that much for two tires and no this is not an escalade, (free towing from perry me) 120 miles to bangor woweee !!! Told them the air bag notification light came on they turned it off, it was off for a short time - its back on.”
