Consumer Description

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FAILING. INTERMITTENTLY BOOT OT ENGAGING INTO R OR D GEAR AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON CONCERN FROM A HIGH NUMBER OF HYUNDAI VELOSTER OWNERS. I CONCIDER IT DANGEROUS AS HOW IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO ACCELERATE, GEAR SLIPPED OUT AND VEHICLE ONLY REVED HIGH AND NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY NO FAST TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORST. THIS HAS HAPPED TWICE AND HYUNDAI HAS YET NOT FOUND A FIX AND TOLD ME THEY CANT FIND PROBLEM AS THERE IS NO TROUBLE CODES REGISTERED IN TRANSMISSION. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST HAPPENED TO ME WAS ABOUT 50K AND SECOND TIME AT 90K. EVERY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN BEEN PERFORMED TO VEHICLE WITH RECORDS.
