2013 Hyundai Veloster Body and structure Problems

“While parked in a parking garage my sunroof exploded. Glass was everywhere. Nothing was even near my car when it happened (thank goodness) after looking at security footage. I hope a recall is done soon because I could not imagine if I had been in the vehicle with children. Hyundai has been semi-helpful but something needs to be done before it happens instead of after”

“After only having the vehicle for a short time, I started to notice on the center of the rear bumper & right rear quarter panel were missing paint. Over time it has only gotten worse. I was told that the parts of the car that are plastic underneath the paint tend to flex and cause the paint to crack.”

“I was driving down the interstate doing 70 MPH when suddenly my sunroof exploded while closed. Considering this model vehicle has an all glass sunroof this is very dangerous. I called Hyundai and was told the 2012 models have a recall for exploding sunroofs but not mine in particular. This is a safety hazard as people with children in the backseat can get cut by falling glass if this happens. The sunroof explodes without warning.”

“The trunk latch had been failing intermittently. I stopped at a dealership who opened the driver's door, and began locking and unlocking the electric door locks. This solved the problem at the time. I asked how playing with the locks would fix the trunk issue. The question was not answered. This solved the problem for a couple of years. However, the trunk latch finally failed permanently. I could not open the trunk via the emergency latch from the in side. I was told by the dealership that the issue was an electrical issue. Hence, the door lock remidey. …”

“As I was driving down the road going about 60 miles per hour my sunroof exploded. I did not hit any bumps nor did any object strike my vehicle. It sounded like a bomb went off in my vehicle. Luckily I had the shade closed so the glass laid on the shade. However, looking in the rear view mirror there was a lot of glass flying around. No one was around me at the time of the explosion. My local Hyundai dealer is fixing the glass for half the cost of the actual repair per Hyundai corporation. I still would like this to be investigated. I'm terrified it'll happen again after it is fixed.”
