Me and my who is currently pregnant was driving at a highway running 40mph when my car suddenly stalled. The engine died and my car is like on neutral. Thank god i was able to maneuver it to the sidelane and no one was injured. There were no warning lights whatsoever. I had to call a tow truck to bring it to my house. And since im very scared to use it again. And up to now the car is still not working, i wonder if its the engine or the alternator that caused the engine to die.
The plug behind the ac control panel (the blower motor switch) has melted because the current isn't being conducted properly. This issue started months ago when I noticed the ac control knob was getting stuck & stopped working on the numbers. This last week I smelt smoke coming from the ac control panel, which is what led me to remove the console to see behind. Apparently, this iis a very common complaint of the 2012-2016 Velosters & some people have had their dash set on fire before. I fear for my safety if the car were ever to set fire because of this design flaw & I were driving. I, & other people, could die from this. Hyundai has never issued a recall or addressed this issue.
I have had 4 HVAC control heads burn out between a 2012 Veloster and my current 2016 Veloster I purchased after the 2012 was totalled. The part is burning out because it overheats and is a matter of time before it causes even greater damage and risk of injury in the future if not addressed.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that the vehicle's rearview camera was alerting her to check the surroundings and emitted a humming noise indicating the camera was active while the vehicle was in drive. The rearview camera was only meant to be operable while the vehicle was in reverse. The screen that the camera displayed the vehicle's surroundings on was the same screen where the radio was located. During the failure, the radio was not able to turn off until the vehicle was turned off for approximately ten minutes. Also, the bluetooth that operated from the same computer system failed to turn off. The contact stated that all the electrical issues occurred without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 19,500....updated 11/12/17/ consumer stated rear camera turns on in drive showing red lines. Also, not reported - sound coming from radio/ or near radio when starting car or when I get in car in am or when getting our of car. Sounds like a "buzzing" or humming sound which could be related to camera/ on screen issue. Updated 7/25/18
My 2016 Hyundai Veloster will unlock randomly while it is in motion. It more commonly unlocks at 45mph or higher. Even after it unlocks it continues to try and unlock so I am constantly hearing the click it makes when it unlocks
