NHTSA Complaint #10817768 — 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER

DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING. WHEN TURNING KEY IN IGNITION, USUALLY IN COLDER WEATHER IN THE MORNINGS, VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THERE IS JUST A 1-CLICK SOUND PER IGNITION CYCLE, BUT NO IGNITION OCCURS. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, RADIO TURNS ON, ETC. REPLACED BATTERY DUE TO FAILED BATTERY TEST, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE STARTER PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE STARTER ASSEMBLY IS STARTING TO FAIL BUT THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY UNHELPFUL. I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK, ESPECIALLY TO REMOTE AREAS, AND I'M GOING TO GET STRANDED EVENTUALLY WITHOUT ANY CELL SERVICE.
