Consumer Description
Back in 2015 my dad bought me a brand new Veloster Turbo. Within the first 100 days of ownership my car had multiple electrical power outages. I would be driving at a speed of 55mph (Speed Limit) and all of a sudden the car would stop working. The gas didn’t work and all the electrical parts went out. This event happened multiple times but off and on. When I took it to the dealership they didn’t experience the issue so they couldn’t resolve it. I had a case against Hyundai but they didn’t care. From the Whistleblower that just came out against Hyundais safety protocols I have a firm belief Hyundai knew that there engines were faulty and my life was almost taken. Another incident was on the freeway driving the speed limit and all of a sudden everything stops working and turns off. Almost got killed that day due to cars almost hitting my car on the side of the road. I have had so many issues with my car and its been at a dealership for 3 weeks now. Another electrical issue has happened after they installed a new engine. It happened off an on and wouldn’t start randomly. The battery was great and everything checked out. The dealership is now looking at my car because they experienced the issue themselves. I am looking for a settlement due to safety protocols being ignored.I have proof from Laguna Niguel Hyundai and the problem should be documented by them. However the dealership seems sketchy and very bad customer service. I have been worried about this ever since the first problem. Its been a roller coaster and has almost cost me my life.
