2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER N
Filed Oct 20, 2026
Power steering has been going out intermittently. The first time was about a week ago at a light. One of my mechanics suggested it could be a battery going out, and wouldn’t you know it? My battery went out a couple days later. With my brand new battery in the car, my power steering has still been going out intermittently. So I think they may have been unrelated. Today for the first time I went out while I was actually driving right before a turn. This is extremely dangerous and I’m worried…

Vehicle was checked for Hyundai recall 203 in 2022. Engine suffered a catastrophic failure in March of 2024 at around 94,000 miles due to the improperly heat treated piston rings referenced in Hyundai recall 203. Dealership only replaced the short block after suffering an attempted thrown rod, resulting in debris left in the engine. A teardown of the engine was required this year to unstick the OCV 2 Valve which should have been replaced with a Long Block replacement after the catastrophic rod…

While making a low speed turn (<10mph) the LKA icon (black panel) and failure alert (center screen) appeared on the meter, then immediately after the power steering icon (black panel) and failure alert (center screen) appeared on the meter. The electroninc power steering completely died and I nearly ran into an oncoming car and then I actually ran off the road slightly into the grass after correcting in the other direction. I tried a quick ignition cycle on the side of the road and the issue…
2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER
Filed Sep 14, 2026
The engine/engine management system malfunctioned. The vehicle began repeatedly stalling and shutting off while I was driving and while stopped in traffic. The vehicle is now no longer able to start and run and will need to be towed to a Hyundai dealer. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the engine shut off unexpectedly in active traffic. When the engine stalled, I lost the ability to continue accelerating and had…
2021 HYUNDAI VELOSTER N
Filed Sep 4, 2026
The power steering motor fails at random and without warning, creating an imminent wreck hazard. At any time, the wheel will lose all power steering and simultaneously illuminate a red steering wheel warning on your dashboard. It takes significant force to turn the wheel once this happens. Secondly, when turning, a normal cars steering wheel will naturally unwind after a turn and smoothly straighten back up while driving. During this motor failure, the steering wheel remains stiffly stationary,…

The contact's daughter owns a 2019 Hyundai Veloster N. The contact stated that the brake calipers were leaking brake fluid. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to obtain the parts from an independent parts supplier. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the caliper seals were ordered but were the incorrect part. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage…
2022 HYUNDAI VELOSTER N
Filed Aug 15, 2026
On August 15, 2026, while driving my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N, the electric power steering assist intermittently became noticeably heavier than normal. The vehicle’s steering remained mechanically controllable, but the increased steering effort was noticeable and raised a safety concern because the loss or reduction of steering assist occurred while the vehicle was being driven. I scanned the vehicle and found diagnostic trouble code C129002 in the EPS/MDPS system, described as a torque sensor…

The power steering on my car stopped working entirely right after startup and would not return after multiple restarts. The dealership has replaced the steering torque sensor but the problem returned less than a month later. Without power steering, the car is not safe to drive.
