I love my 2016 Veloster Turbo. Had it since new. September 2024, 67,000 miles. I've had a few problems. Constantly have to see the traction light on. Dealer says it is an electrical issue. Car drives fine. I've had my Vt to into limp mode 5 times. Usually sorts itself out after a day. My low beam went out. Hyundai wanted to charge $274 to replace the lights because they "have to drop the bumper." I took my car too my 16 year old niece. Her hands fit and changed out the bulbs. 😂
i've had a 2016 VT since september and I love the crap out of it so far. My only real issue is there's something causing it to idle down very low randomly, and when i give it gas it'll stumble if it's at that low idle before picking back up. Makes my amplifier shut down, my lights dim, and the most annoying part is it makes my belt start squealing. That's more embarrassing than anything, cuz it's such a good looking car, clean, orange, then the belt squeals and EVERYONE is now looking at you. I'm about to slap a 60mm elantra throttle body on it though and then maybe i can do a little light tuning to keep the RPM's steady at idle.
Mine did the same thing all the time especially when I turned on the ac I’m not having problems with my clutch actuator it could have something to do with that.
Your veloster is awesome!! I have exactly the same turbo model and also same color and same year!! Thanks for the video!! right now Im struggling with check engine light I think is because of boost issues and some other sensor that I need to check, I just installed a new turbo and it runs great, is just that here in my country veloster parts are really hard to find, Im also saving money right now for a scanner checkup and a stage 1 setup but the car for the moment runs great thanks for your advise I hope to get my check engine light off soon because I really love my veloster it was love at firts sight!!
Just had my fuel pump go out in my 2016 Turbo as of a few days ago. Was a bit more expensive than i thought it was going to be but it was an easy job at the very least. Great vid btw
Nice ride John. I have 2016 Turbo with the Technology Package and the radio's audio constantly shuts over the slightest bump in the road. The screen will still work fine, but no audio whatsoever. I've checked everything and still no fix. Like you, I've resorted to either earbuds or listening to no music at all. If you ever find a fix, please post!
You have to reset the radio unit. My veloster had thus problem and luckily for me i worked at a tunjng shop and my old boss had a Veloster. There memory gets filled up when using the sat nav and other things as it saves everything. You need a pin to press and hold into the little reset botton nexr to cd player and it resets. I think uou have to hild it for 10+ seconds
I've had a 2016 turbo for 5.5 years, from about 26k to 104k miles. Issues: rear hatch lock replace, rear hatch hydraulic pistons replace, radio/nav head unit replace, code 2261 (it was the solenoid), airbag warning light stayed on (dealer 'reprogrammed'), replace starter, panoramic sunroof track and motor replace. Normal wear and tear: I just replaced the tires I got 5.5 years ago (Michelins, amazing tires), two batteries, brake job, replace trans fluid, and spark plugs, as well as oil changes of course. The sunroof track assembly was the most aggravating as it wasn't covered by manufacturer warranty but I had a 3rd party warranty and it was covered, which is good because it was over $7000. The bad part was the dealer had four redos and the job ultimately took a year to get right! Hyundai eventually had to fly engineers out to set up laser straightening equipment to match the factory specs. I had a loaner car for 5 months in a row, possibly a record. The dealer told me under his breath that the engineers told him basically when you cut a huge hole in the roof, the frame will get distorted. The mounting points for the sunroof assembly had to be bent back into true. So far it's working now (knock on wood).
To my knowledge 2016 actually has stronger connecting rods. Some tuners were having issues with connection rods from 2013 - 2015. So Hyundai reinforced them for 2016. That being said they are usually a bit more reliable.
Thanks for great video I will refer to it later , my problem is that I turned into a parking spot and put my 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo into park and it stayed in reverse but physically in park ! I didn’t know it until I took my foot off the break and my car was still showing back up my camera!📸😮 at first I couldn’t figure it out. my grandson was with me and he’s autistic spectrum disorder so I was not able to concentrate on the car so I put my break on took my foot off the break and was able to shut it off, but I was confused. I was able to put something behind my tire to keep me from rolling back and I had to go in and take care of my business at the store all the while trying to figure out what in the world I was dealing with 65-year-old woman. Trying to figure out what to do in my grandson was all over the place so I had to concentrate on him and Call for help.. I was told it might be a connecting cable that had broken whatever it is it’s the brain to me. I came here, looking for answers.
this scares me lol maybe it's not all velosters but im buying a 2015 one turbo (Ill probably never use turbo so i might not run into the problems you did) but its good to know what to look out for
Thanks I'll take a look at that! My brother in law thinks I might just be pulling too much power from the unit because of the charger I have connected to the cigarette lighter spot
I have a 2016 velsoter turbo i've gone threw 3 engines dealership has replaced each one for free plus a rental. The first time around they tried to dick me around for 4 days so my lawyer sent them and intent to sue since it was covered under the recall so they have since not f'd around plus each time offered me a rental free of charge. The new engine after 3800 kms it gave out code p2261 i brought it back to the dealer they said it's either the cat or knock sensor car had 100,000 to 160,000 so i paid 245$ for a new Knock senior. they refreshed the system and no engine light till 3 days later. I typically only work on my sc300 because it's my baby and i know everything about it and easy to work on lots of space in the hood unlike a Veloster. I check the exhaust and it was the exhaust gasket on the passenger rear side wheel where the pipe is bolted to the exhaust. it was 5mins and 16$ replaced and problem solved. If you want to fix your Veloster Sell it and buy a Honda Crx a by far superior design plus a honda motor proven and true more hp and reliability.
my wife has a 2015 turbo veloster started leaking fuel... Replaced the fuel pump 3 times already to run into the same issue. Car goes in a weird limp mode and shuts off no check engine light or anything
I know this is 8 months ago, but I fixed the radio problem with a grounding kit and cleaning up the grounding points. Some of the cars came with really shit quality cables, or bad contacts with the chassis. You can buy secondary grounding cables that go off the alternator ground location.
okay just a fyi Hyundai/Kia turbos are total garbage everyone has issues with them, My 2013 Veloster is non Turbo, So I want to add 5 issues if you have a non turbo. Mine has 151000 miles on it. 1. clock spring if you detail your car inside you can get stuff into your steering Colum this will mess up your clock spring and both turn and window wiper controls and they are ironized so in the end you have to replace all three. 2. Radio head unite screen will stop working for touch and it just have to get a new one they cost around 250-300 to get the full replacement. 3. Back hatch springs, their seals break easy. 4. Replacing rear main seal on the engine, You have to drop transmission so when you put it all back in you have to put the transmutation in learning mode but watch the park break and make sure the dash light comes on if not it will not go through its learning phase. 5. Catalytic converters suck, Your cat converter by the time you get 150k will crap out on you and you will have to replace it. Make sure to check the country entry code so if it comes out of CA you will have to get a Cat with the CA requirements even if your in say Texas so it wont flip that code.

Thanks! Appreciate it!
Good video. I’ve just bought a 2014 turbo SR. This video helps with what to look out for. Also yours is clean look

That sounds super strange. Haven't heard of anyone else dealing with that. Let me know how that throttle body works out!
Mine did the same thing all the time especially when I turned on the ac I’m not having problems with my clutch actuator it could have something to do with that.
The lag could be MAP sensor PCV valve PCV sensor. All very cheap and relatively easy fixes.
My crankshaft position sensor went bad and this happened to me it doesn’t throw a code because the ecu gets confused apparently
Great video thanks. FYI never show license plate on your future videos👍🙏

what do you think of the 2016 model i just got 1 yesterday i love itttttttt
Congrats! Not so sure the differences between those years, other than the guages and suspension stiffness

What are the specs on your wheels and tires?

Loved the vid man, got my own manual turbo!
hey! im looking at a 2017 r-spec and was curious to know about turbo problems in the 2nd gens? or things the 17s are known for?
Where did you buy the part?
I heard the 2013 Turbo isn't good cause is the first model, although 2014 is amazing
@@PabloSolis-fw7le fair enough! I was worried about that when buying, but it was the only VT available in 100 miles of me at the time!
im probably a little late but with the radio it might be audio 2 or multimedia fuse i had a similar issue
Thanks I'll take a look at that! My brother in law thinks I might just be pulling too much power from the unit because of the charger I have connected to the cigarette lighter spot
Hey man I have a 2012 veloster and my ac just stopped working, some people say it’s the ac knob but wanted to ask another veloster driver 🙏

hopefully ur oil cooler gasket doesn't go. youll have to buy the entire assembly cuz hyundai doesn't sell the gasket. very annoying lol
Oof! No thank you. That's kind of like the positive lead for the battery. Hyundai will only sell you the whole cable... for like $370 🙃
