2022 HYUNDAI Veloster N Problems & Complaints

The issue involved the electronic power steering (EPS) system on my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N (approx. 70,000 miles). While driving, the EPS stopped providing steering assist and a fault warning appeared on the dash. After checking the engine bay fuse box, I found that the PDM 7.5A micro blade fuse (which powers the EPS circuit) appeared heat-discolored/burned. I replaced it with an identical 7.5A micro blade fuse, and the system later returned to normal operation. The original fuse that appeared damaged is still in my possession and is available for inspection upon request When the fuse failed, I suddenly lost power steering assist and the steering became extremely heavy, especially at low speeds. This made it difficult to turn the wheel for parking, lane changes, and tighter turns. This could have put my safety and others at risk because: •It required much more physical effort to steer, especially in a parking lot and at slower speeds. •In an emergency situation, it would have been harder to quickly avoid obstacles or other vehicles. •A less physically strong driver, or someone caught off guard, might not be able to maintain proper control, increasing the risk of a collision. No. The problem has not been reproduced or formally confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. After I replaced the PDM 7.5A fuse, the EPS warning and heavy steering condition went away and have not returned so far, so the failure has not been actively present for a shop to duplicate. No. The vehicle and the failed fuse have not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, dealer, police, insurance, or any other third party. At this time I have only inspected the fuse visually myself and replaced

While driving, I would randomly get an alert saying “check lane departure assist system” along with my power steering going completely out. If I restart the car, sometimes it fixes the issue until it happens again randomly. Sometimes it wont happen for a week, sometimes it happens multiple times a day. I can’t narrow it down to anything since it happens so randomly.

While driving my 2022 Hyundai Veloster N (around 44,000 miles), the steering system suddenly failed without warning. All lane departure and steering warning lights came on, and the steering wheel locked hard to the left, causing the car to veer into oncoming traffic. I narrowly avoided a collision and was able to regain control, but it was extremely dangerous. The vehicle was later diagnosed by the dealership as needing an entire new steering rack. This is the second time this same issue has happened after it was supposedly repaired, and I no longer feel safe driving this car.

Power steering and lane keep assist died while driving. After leaving the car off for a few minutes, powering it back up they worked again for about 5 minutes before cutting off while driving on the highway

The vehicle intermittently enters a state in which Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) and Power Steering simultaneously fail, indicated by lights and notifications on the cluster and resulting in complete loss of power steering. This malfunction can occur at any point in the vehicle's operation, which includes when the vehicle is parked, and lasts until the vehicle has had the battery disconnected or power has been turned off for at least 15 minutes, after which point the malfunction may still return upon next operation of the vehicle.

After replacing the tires with the same size tires on the OEM wheels the blind spot monitoring system malfunctions. The lights in the side view mirrors flash and the audible blind spot warning alerts nearly every time the blinker is used. I have contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs and they claim there are no reports of issues.

After changing from stock summer tires to all season tires; the Blind Spot Monitoring system malfunctioned and no longer works. There is no dealer fix for this problem.

The blindspot monitor system in the Hyundai Veloster N does not function as well as other Hyundai vehicles do. While driving, the blindspot monitor will randomly go off even if there is no car in my blindspot and it will sometimes not go off when there is a car driving in my blindspot. I took the car to the dealership to fix the issue and after waiting for weeks to get my car back, my local Hyundai dealership was unable to fix it and I was told there would be a recall for it eventually. Many other cars, including Hyundai vehicles, have perfectly working blindspot monitors. The Veloster N does not have the best visibility and I rely on them to help avoid crashing into the car next to me when I am changing lanes.

After changing to tires (michelin pilot sport all season) that can handle lower temperatures than the Pirelli PZero, the BSM system is now giving false alerts, and is unreliable.

While driving on the highway, the dashboard illuminated with power steering & lane departure warnings. Upon this happening, the power steering did fail, and would not come back on regardless of the driving mode (2022 Hyundai Veloster N). Because of my high speed, I was able to navigate to an off ramp and pull off the road without incident. At slow speed, I was barely able to turn the steering wheel at all. Upon turning the car on and off, the issue would prove to be inconsistent. I was able to slowly and carefully get it to a parking lot, where it will remain, as it is not safe to drive. I tried contacting the only two Hyundai dealerships within 50 miles and could not get in touch with the service center (voicemails were left).

Driving the vehicle when arriving to my destination going a speed below 10 mph, the steering became extremely heavy and an alert showed on the cluster screen stating "power steering failed". I had to exert substantial physical effort to maneuver the vehicle to a safe location to investigate the issue. At that moment the Check Engine Light (CEL) did not illuminate, but I suspect there must have been at least a passive fault code stored in the computer regarding the malfunction. I turned off the vehicle, waited a while, and restarted it, at which point the issue was gone, still no CEL present. And, no cluster screen alert anymore either. Fortunately, this occurrence was at a point of the drive going low speeds, otherwise I would have worried for my own and my passengers' safety. I am aware of this issue affecting several owners of 2019 - 2022 Hyundai Veloster N vehicles many of whom may have reported the issue like I am at this time. This must be escalated and a safety recall be issued in accordance with regulations ASAP.

This problem has happened sporadically since the first instance described below. I was driving in the left lane at 65mph on the highway during a bend in the road. The steering when extremely stiff, which is extremely alarming on the highway. The car chimed and produced the messages, "check power steering" and "check lane departure warning system". From that point until I was able to stop somewhere safely, the vehicle had no power steering. Turning the car off and on is a short term remedy about half of the time, and the problem returns either immediately, or days later.

While driving the Electric Power Steering turned off along with any services that relied on it, like the Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist. When this happened the power steering went out and it was almost impossible to turn the steering wheel presenting a safety risk.

Vehicle stalled after misfire in cylinder 4. No signs of problems prior to failure of injector number 4 at 14000 miles. Upon investigating prior history of vehicle owner, customer reported misfire on cylinder 2, and 4 at 3 thousand miles. Technician replaced injector 2 only. Months after, my vehicle stalled due to misfire in cylinder 1, which was corrected by restarting car. Injector number one was replaced. at the moment with only 24000 miles on vehicle, 3 out of 4 injectors have prematurely failed. After doing hpfp recall update on ECM, Dual clutch transmission was rough shifting from first to second at random intervals. This shift sounded very metallic and un-lubricated. Eventually, the banging sound went away after happening for 3 months. Vehicle does not run the same after update on ECM “Check lane assist system” warning randomly shows up on dash at different times before going away. FRONT VIEW CAMERA code is being reported by ECM along with C1642-02

3 separate injectors have misfired, causing very low power to the acceleration of the vehicle, and creating a safety hazard to drive. There is a misfire engine light. The dealership has inspected these injectors and determined that the OEM parts are prone to misfire. This is a very common issue among, they point out, model year '22 Hyundai cars.

There have been two instances of fuel injector failures on the 2022 Veloster in within 20,000 miles. The first instance (cylinder 2) occurred at approximately 7,000 miles. The car experienced a sudden loss of power, followed by misfires and smoke from the tailpipe and the check engine light coming on during failure. The second instance (cylinder 1) occurred at approximately 19,000 miles. The car experienced a sudden loss of power, followed by misfires and smoke from the tailpipe and the check engine light coming on during failure. Both instances were repaired by the dealership under warranty. However this was a safety risk due to the immediate loss of power in the car and the inability to accelerate. Instances of fuel injector failures have been wide spread among owners of the Hyundai Veloster N and Hyundai Elantra N with 2.0T engines. There were no warning that the car would fail, prior to the actual failure. This is an important safety concern due to immediate loss of power while driving.

July 26th 2023 at around noon CDT, when I ran into a relatively heavy downpour. I was traveling at 65mph on a hwy before the rain, then slowed down to almost 50mph due to the rain. There was a vehicle behind me when all of sudden the my cars CEL started flashing, and the car lost power. I was unable to accelerate or maintain speed, and was almost rear ended as I tried to quickly pull off the road. Took it to the dealership the following day, to have the car checked out. With the car out of limp mode they couldn't do anything about it. So I took it to the car wash to see if the problem would come back, and it did. Car was in limp mode, and returned it back to the dealership where they looked it over talked there tech line, and reported there was no remedy for the problem I was experiencing. As of today, the vehicle still goes into limp mode going through car washes or heavy rains with no remedy on their end.
