“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.”

“Hello, I believe there is an underlying issue with the Veloster 2013 that Hyundai has not addressed properly with their service campaign. I had received the service around 06/01/19 (I am not sure exactly when) and a year later have had the same exact problems this service was supposed to address. I have had engine stalls in the middle of the street near usc on a busy intersection and had to move the car by foot in fear of getting hit by another car. I've also had engine power issues that seem to have persisted. …”

“The 2013 Hyundai Veloster I purchased has had an issue where the car emits a sulfur like smell when accelerating. The safety risk is a faulty engine, and possible exposure to dangerous emissions. Upon seeing the check engine light appear, I took it to the Hyundai dealer for a diagnostic. Hyundai informed me that the codes read p0420 and p0463. They recommended replacing and catalytic converter and fuel sensor but did not assess why the issues have occurred. They refused to cover under warranty, even though I had purchased an extended warranty with the vehicle. …”

“I have a 2013 vitamin c Veloster and I recently looked under my license plate in the rear and noticed a big hole in my bumper from melting, it seems to keep getting worse since last week when I noticed it. I took it into the dealership yesterday and showed the service guys and at that point my bumper and plate mount had fused together from the heat. I fear the bumper starting on fire right next to the gas tank. They took 3.5 hours to look at it and figure out what was going on. They claimed that they have never heard of or seen this issue and when they finished, wouldn't tell me any info. …”
