NHTSA complaint #11408002, filed 2021-04, 75,000 miles“My 2013 Veloster has 49,000 miles and it appears the rubber fitting inside the steering wheel has deteriorated. The wheel shakes and shudders violently. I'm unhappy that Hyundai has allowed owners of elantras to have their vehicles repaired under a service bulletin, but velosters apparently do not qualify?”
NHTSA complaint #11155588, filed 2018-12, 48,000 miles“2013 Hyundai Veloster with 40,000 miles. I am the original owner. I bought the car in april 2013 and just noticed this problem in january 2020. The steering wheel feels like it has a flat spot and sticks when I turn the wheel to the left or right. This happens regardless of being stationary or driving. The sticking only happens when I initially turn the wheel. And, when I reverse the wheel to drive straight - it has that momentary flat spot feel.”
NHTSA complaint #11309807, filed 2020-02, 40,000 miles“The steering coupler on my vehicle is failing. This is a known problem with Hyundai and kia vehicles and there have been recalls for other models, why has there not been for my Veloster?”
