“Sold a 2014 Hyundai Veloster with grinding brakes, acceleration problem, and vibration issues. I was told everything would be fixed. I returned the car within 24hrs. The car vibrates dangerously at 50mph and above. The car hesitates when taking off, trying to pass, or get on freeway. This is also dangerous because cars already going 70mph could of hit us while trying to get on freeway. Sometimes while giving the car gas it would just rev up the rpms without doing anything. This also scared me into returning the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11220257, filed 2019-06, 110,761 miles“I purchased my 2014 Hyundai Veloster as a CPO back in January of 2018 with approximately 37k miles. Currently it has 95,637 miles. Within the first couple months of ownership, I noticed that the vehicle was sporadically acting up during acceleration (specifically when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear). During this process it acts as if all of its power is shut off momentarily and then comes back on, which can potentially be dangerous when accelerating into high traffic areas, or busy intersections because not only does it lose acceleration power but steering as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #11474805, filed 2022-07“The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. While parked, the vehicle failed to shift into gear. Also, while driving, the transmission would shift out of gear without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 17,000.”
