VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SMART JUNCTION BOX WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY DUE TO A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS. IN ADDITION TO THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDING TO BE REPAIRED, THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY.
MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES DESCRIBING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RECALL, THE ENGINE IS LOUDER THAN WHEN I GO OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE KNOCKING NOISE AND I JUST GOT IT IN SEPTEMBER. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEBODY ABOUT THIS SINCE IT'S NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL
THE SUNROOF SHATTERED VIOLENTLY IN AN UPWARDS DIRECTION, SENDING SOME GLASS DOWN INSIDE THE CAR AND THE REST ALL OVER THE EXTERIOR. AFTER GOOGLING I FOUND OUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER VELOSTER OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD IDENTICAL INSTANCES WHERE THEIR SUNROOFS SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY.THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSES IT, BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT WITH HYUNDAI. THEY HAVE ANOTHER SUNROOF ON ORDER, BUT AM WORRIED I MAY HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR THIS COMPONENT. *TT
