2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. The contact stated that the spark plugs had melted and made a hole in the piston. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The contact had related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V204000 (Electrical System, Engine). The failure mileage was approximately 145,000. The VIN was not available.

Our car is 9 years old with only 50,636 miles. We are the second owner. The engine started making noise (no warning lights) so we took it to the dealer. They’ve diagnosed damage in cylinder 1 and need to replace the head gasket and cylinder head assembly valve spring seat. I’ve been told by the Hyundai mechanics that this issues sounds very much like the issue that resulted in the recall of 2013/2014 Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe’s. The dealership submitted a warranty request on my behalf despite the fact that the car is beyond the years covered by the warranty. I was told by the dealership that Hyundai knows about this issue with other models not covered by the recall and commonly will replace the engine of other vehicles even despite they’re outside of warranty within reason. I was hopeful but my warranty request was denied. Now I’m looking at over $10,000 in repairs which makes my car close to a complete loss. A couple months prior to the issue we receive a Hyundai notification that was something like we need to install a sensor in the engine that will alert you at the earliest signs of engine trouble. I had just donated a kidney and not in any condition to take the car in for this so that has not been done but what it tells me is that Hyundai knew of issues enough to install a sensor to detect these types of issues early before major damage. Note this was not a recall.

A LOT OF LOOSE MOTION AND CLICKING IN STERRING WHEEL MECHANIC SAID SAFETY HAZARD NEEDS FIXING I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS INCIDENT BUT NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT PLEASE HELP NOW

My engine burns oil. There is no leakage on the ground. I check the oil once a week and have to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil or more every time i check it. My safety is at risk because if I miss one week of checking the oil level and forget to add oil, my engine is going to seize while driving and possible kill me or other drivers. Oil lamp has been on and i've been refilling the oil weekly for approximately one month. Tire company -Midas tires- changed my tires but did not perform an inspection. They informed me of a government recall for a dangerous engine issue that Hyundai will not acknowledge nor fix.

UNKNOWN: 1) was parked and car took longer than normal to start. 2) after starting and shifting gears, car would not move forward or backwards. 3) towed to mechanic and they couldn't find anything wrong. NOTE: all gauges were on and was able to shift as normal.

A few months ago, my ABS and Traction Control lights began to come on and off randomly. Then, new lights would pop up, such as Check Engine and the Brake light. These lights would come on, and then go off very sporadically. In the last week, it had gotten much worse. My tire pressure light and EPS light had came on as well, totaling about 6 or 7 lights that are on and won't go off. Then, my steering wheel became increasingly hard to turn, I' m guessing because the EPS was off. Then, my speedometer completely stopped working, and my gas gauge was jumping up and down after I had filled it to a full tank. I pulled the code, and got code for a wheel speed sensor. I replaced the wheel speed sensor, and no lights went off. I then inspected the fuses, noticed that the ABS fuse was blown, and decided to replace it. I replaced it, and the ABS module (or pump) started to smoke badly. The car had a heavy electrical smoke smell and I didn't think it was safe to drive for a while. Hyundais have had recalls for ABS modules smoking before, but never for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster, and I believe that is something that should be investigated because I believe I could have been injured.

So the vehicle wants to hesitate and buck violently to the point of nearly stalling out while accelerating and prevents the car from being able to merge into highway traffic in a safe manner and the surrounding years make and model are all on a recall due to a E.C.U. required update for a necessary reflashing for the ability to be use the automobile in the way it's designer/designers can make make want h. The severity and frequency of the problems are embarrassing and frustrating to be scared of risking my life being injured in a stalled/stalling vehicle without a power supply to navigate
