Used 2014 Hyundai Veloster Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Cannot wait to get rid of this car
I am single-handedly keeping my local mechanic in business. Every month there is a different issue. Have spent over 5000 on repairs this year. Do not recommend.
Car on Fire 🔥
I, along with my Sister, my niece and my friend drove 14 miles to the beach from my mother’s residence. After, we decided to drive back to my mothers residence. While driving on the freeway with my sister, my niece and my friend, going 70mph I started to smell smoke, shortly after that I heard a clunking sound followed by a popping sound come from underneath my car. Then my check engine light along with my engine oil pressure light began to flash. Shortly, a burnt smell completely filled the inside of my car. As I began to pull over the brake peddle locked in the up position and was not able to be pressed down to the floor. After, I pulled the emergency brake causing my car to spin in an 180 degree angle. My friend and I got out of my car, leaving all of our personal belongings and pushed the car to the shoulder of the nearest exit. When I attempted to open the hood white smoke and flames shot from underneath. My sister immediately grabbed my niece and after that we all ran to a safe distance incase of an explosion. An off duty officer immediately called Highway Patrol after witnessing the entire incident. The fire department came and put out the fire. Next, Highway Patrol came, they did not write an incident report but they ensured our safety. Then finally the tow truck came and took my completely burnt vehicle to the tow yard.

No dealer support
For over three years I have had intermittent starting problems with my 2014 Veloster. I have had it back to the dealership numerous times and been charge a diagnostic fee for finding nothing. I replaced the battery (at my cost) which didn't solve the problem. When it took it back they have replaced the alternator, fuse box computer, & corroded wires, had the vehicle for at least a week at a time and are telling me it's my fault because 1. I don't shut it off properly. 2. I "play" with the fuse switch. 3. I don't drive it enough. Now they are telling me there are NO cranking amps in the battery and it needs to be replaced at my cost AGAIN. They have completely ignored me when I tell them that the CD player has stayed on all night. The dash display stays on all night or won't come on at start up. The radio re-sets the stations, the clock re-sets to 12:00 every time it is shut off, sometimes the dash display works sometimes not and it will often start after trying to crank it three or four times but only if the dash display energizes. It also on occasion decides to lock me out completely and not recognize the key fob. I can drive it for a half an hour, do my shopping and come out to find it dead. I can put the battery on a trickle charge for 48 hours and it reads charged, but the car won't start the first time. After two or three tries it might start. Otherwise a quick boost and it starts immediately, no waiting for it to charge up. The dealership couldn't care less even though it did the same thing to the service technician the second last time it took it there. The car was warm and driven for 40 min. but it wouldn't start for him first time. Took three or four tries, yet now I get this it needs a new battery jive. I'm feed up with the attitude that I'm some stupid woman who doesn't know the difference between a dead battery and a dead short to ground that is causing all these electrical problems. I will take the battery back to where I bought it and have it tested.

Veloster No
I own a 2014 hyundai veloster & after owning previously two other reliable hyundai cars, I have to admit this is a reliable car but it is also really annoying! My friends and i have complained that the door is too heavy ( it is the weight heavier than a truck door!) and when you swing it open if it is too pushed hard-it hits other cars or slams too wide, and when opened with normal verocity ( it swings back for a bit then squishes your leg), a lot of people i know have complained! Secondly, the car is TOO WIDE- it is impossible to park in a small compact space, even though this car looks compact and small. The designers and makers of this car were clearly not smart.
Only on small problem in ten years,the cd
Outstanding fuel mileage, super easy to Drive,great value vs cost
