2022 Hyundai Veloster — reported problems and evidence

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 64 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

Owner complaints (2,686 records, model years 2012–2022) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and steering.
Manufacturer communications (1,453 records, model years 2012–2022) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
