Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Approximately 1 year after purchasing my vehicle (roughly 2017) while driving on the highway my fan control knob started spinning freely, it still worked but concerned I called my dealership who all but dismissed the complaint. A few months later the knob started working intermittently and would on occasion cut off the fan if I were to hit a bump. By the end of 2019 the knob had completely stopped working. I had held off on getting it repaired as it is an expensive fix and after doing quite a lot of research I discovered it is an extremely common issue with my make and model car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11396575, filed 2021-02, 49,000 miles“The A/C knob, when air conditioning is turned on, lights up. This light burns up the inside of the knob and causes the connections to burn out which makes it impossible to change the air speed settings. Currently mine must sit at 3 or it doesnt work at all. I also have an issue with the head unit which blacked out and stopped working out of nowhere.”
NHTSA complaint #11354640, filed 2020-09, 87,596 miles“HVAC system wiring is melted, only works intermittently between knob #3-4. check engine light comes off and on for Wheel Speed Sensor (all 4) Invalid/No Signal. Fuses consistently blow. Multiple complains have been made by other 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo owners. In addition to these issues being a HUGE fire risk, there was a new fire risk safety recall issued in sept 2023 with no resolution. Hyundais only current resolution for this is to “park away from structures in the meantime”, and will send a letter out once resolved. The HVAC system has been replaced once prior.”
NHTSA complaint #11567090, filed 2024-01, 104,631 miles“A/c fan speed control stopped working, only owned the car for 3 yrs. 75000 miles. Pulled HVAC unit from the dash to find melted connectors on the wiring harness and the back of the fan speed controller. A search online has turned up a plethora of others with the same issue in 2012-2015 velosters. There's simply too much amperage running through the connection for the high speed fan setting with improper materials used in the construction of the parts to handle it. Simply put; this is a straight up fire hazard. …”
NHTSA complaint #11241615, filed 2019-08, 75,000 miles“The connection to my AC control knob burned up and my AC only works between 2 & 3. This could have easily caused a fire as the connection and the knob are melted and burned. How has there not been a recall for this issue as there are many complaints that have been reported on this issue. This is a safety hazard!”
