 The engine has a problem with surging and hesitation. When you need to accelerate or merge on to the freeway, the Veloster will take off about one-third of the time. The rest of the time you press the accelerator, the Veloster will slowly speed up at best. Hyundai tells me the hesitation and surging are normal, and cannot fix the issue. The interior started to have problems after 2 months of ownership. Carpet coming up, floor mats falling apart, leather peeling off steering wheel and shifter, and a few loose plastic roof parts. After 3 weeks I had so many problems with the car I asked if I could return it. The Veloster and Hyundai have been horrible from the day I purchased it.
