Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The vacuum pump had an internal mechanical failure, resulting in complete failure of the airbag control module, electronic stability control system, power steering, ABS, and speedometer. 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. In the event of turning across traffic, my steering could have failed and I could have crashed. Due to the speedometer malfunction, I could have been going too fast and put myself and others at risk for high-speed collision. This problem has been confirmed and repaired by a Hyundai Dealership. The repairs would have been covered under warranty, but the vehicle is no longer under warranty. The dealership specified that there was nothing I could have done to prevent this failure. Occurred at 78,000 miles on March 18, 2022.
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. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS ON A CITY STREET WITH STOP LIGHTS. AVERAGE SPEED 35-45 .
