2020 Hyundai Veloster Other or unknown Problems

“I bought a new 2020 Hyundai Veloster three weeks ago. I have driven it five times. On three of those five occasions, when accelerating in first gear from a stop at an intersection, the car screeched to a halt, as if the wheels were locked. It did not do this every time I stopped at an intersection - it was random and unpredictable. The last incident was on 8/31/20, when the mileage was approximately 350 miles. This is a very dangerous, serious defect.”

“My engine on three separate occasions has stalled out on me on busy roadways. Since then the problem has no been duplicated but the engine light is on and has been unresolved and engine performance is below average.”

“When driving the car, it will intermittingly hesitate and as I press on the pedal the engine revs up but does not increase in speed. This has happened multiple times in the past month and is extremely dangerous. The other day I almost got hit by the car behind me and luckily there was an inlet I was able to pull into, stop and put into park, then when I put it into drive it worked again. As I came to next traffic light, it did it again and I was unable to pull over due to traffic, I put vehicle into neutral and then back into drive and it worked again to get me home. …”

“In the manual car to get in reverse there is a lock out sling that only allows you to go in reverse when you pull up on it. When the manual stick shift goes back to neutral the lock out valve pops closed only allowing gears 1-6 The lock out is not coming down and is sticking so you think you are going into 1st gear but you are still in reverse. Basically imagine you go into reverse in a parking lot, putting it in drive and when you give the car gas it goes backwards. I have had almost 15 incidents in the last 2 weeks after I figured out what was happening. …”

“When I was driving and got up to to the front gates, my car stalled. I knew I didn’t stall my car myself so I was curious what happened and didn’t think much of it so I just turned my car back on. Then the check engine light came on. As I started my car again it would act weird and just start to hesitate kind of. I went to park and as I came back the car would not turn on. It would just keep trying to turn over at really low rpms then shut off. After that it would not turn on what so ever. Hyundai is currently in the process of looking at it.”
