“I purchased a new 2017 Veloster in may 2018. Beginning in mid august I started to have problems with the car not stopping and the steering wheel locking when attempting to stop. It happened on 3 different occasions. Escalating each time. The first time it happened I almost hit someone in the back. The second time I almost ended up in oncoming traffic going through the stop light. The third time I got into an accident while trying to make a turn and the wheel and brakes did the same thing again...making my car not driveable currently. My car has about 3000 miles on it. …”

These were all shown as warning lights on the dashboard, starting with the ESC, then sporadic airbag light, sporadic steering light, etc.. In the event of a crash, the airbags would not have deployed. In the event of low-traction conditions, the car would not have been able to maintain control and I could have crashed. …”
