2017 Hyundai Veloster problems

“The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while her sister was driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The driver pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but made an abnormal knocking sound. The check engine warning light was flashing. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer was contacted and informed that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed to confirm whether it was covered under warranty. The dealer informed the contact that towing assistance would be provided; however, the dealer drove the vehicle to the repair center, where it was diagnosed, and metal debris was found in the oil control solenoid.

I brought the vehicle to Hyundai service center and all that was recommended was a coolant flush and Dual Clutch Transmission service, which I paid to have done. I am not…”

“VEHICLE STALLS WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. WON'T PROPERLY DRIVE”

“Today the vehicle was hesitant to start but did. After two stops I turned car off, went into a business. When I came out the car would start but would not go forward or backwards but rev up. I nearly slammed into a curb in the process. I have a video of this.”
