Tech & Safety Across Trims

Common Problem

TL;DR

• Crankshaft position sensor issues are common and can cause the engine to shut off. • Dual-clutch transmission (DCT) problems, including lack of acceleration and shifting issues. • Electrical issues may affect shifting and gear indicators.

Crankshaft Position Sensor

One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the 2017 Hyundai Veloster is the crankshaft position sensor. Symptoms include the engine shutting off unexpectedly, especially when coming to a stop, and difficulty restarting the car. This problem seems to be relatively easy and inexpensive to fix, but it can be quite disruptive if not addressed promptly.

Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) Issues

The dual-clutch transmission in the Veloster has been reported to have several issues, particularly for those who drive in stop-and-go traffic. Drivers have experienced lack of acceleration and difficulty shifting gears, which can feel unsafe. While some updates and fixes have been attempted, these issues seem to persist for many owners.

Electrical Problems

Some users have reported electrical issues that affect the car's ability to shift out of first gear or reverse, often accompanied by a check engine light and blinking shift indicator. These issues might be related to software or firmware problems and can sometimes be resolved by resetting the system.

General Reliability Concerns

While some owners report their Velosters as reliable, others mention various issues such as engine failures and transmission problems. It's worth noting that Hyundai has extended warranties for certain engine problems, which could mitigate some concerns. However, potential buyers should be aware of these issues and consider them when deciding whether to purchase a used Veloster.

Safety and Longevity

Despite the mechanical issues, the Veloster is noted for its safety features. Owners have shared stories of walking away from serious accidents with minor injuries, highlighting the car's structural integrity. For those considering a Veloster, it's recommended to focus on models from 2016 onwards, as they tend to have fewer issues compared to earlier versions.
