VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR MAKING A LOT OF SOUND WHEN TURNING OFF AND ON IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE ALSO STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WAS TOLD THERE'S A RECALL BUT STILL NOTHING DONE ABOUT IT SCARED TK DRIVE MY OWN CAR THAT I PAY FOR.

PLEASE REFER TO RECALL NUMBER 198 FOR A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER, I AM UNABLE TO SELL MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL.

IT'S MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, IT THE SOUND IT'S COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I GOT MY CAR IN A DEALERSHIP 1MONTH AGO AND IT HAS 34,516 MILES

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN HIGHWAY 195 IN TEXAS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO EUROPE SERVICES IN KILLEEN, TX AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN OUT. WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND A NEW ENGINE ANYWHERE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAD A RECALL WITH PREMATURE ENGINE ISSUES.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND TURNED OUT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS YET

ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE REVERSE NO LONGER WORKED. PUSHED VEHICLE OUT OF PARKING AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD TO GET CAR HOME. WHEN IN DRIVE IT IS JERKY AS GEARS SHIFTS. IT IS TO SLOW TO SHIFT, SLOW TO ENGAGE GEARS, ONCE SHIFT IS COMPLETE HESITATES LOW TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD THEN JERKS FORWARD VERY AGGRESSIVELY.

TL* THE CONTACT 'S SON OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED ON 06/02/20. A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (MAUS NISSAN OF CRYSTAL RIVER 937 S SUNCOAST BLVD, HOMOSASSA, FL 34448 (352) 592-6287). THEY FOUND THREE CODES THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE FUEL INJECTOR, AND THE COILS . THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND THE CONTACT'S SON ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE VEHICLE ON HIS OWN. HE APPLIED A FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER CLEANER AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN ON 09/03/20 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE WHILE TRAVELLING AT 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND THE SON OPENED THE HOOD . SMOKE CAME OUT AND THEN FLAMES BURST FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS SOON ENGULFED AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED DOWN. THE FLAMES WERE PUT OUT BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES THAT REQUIRED TRANSPORT BY AN AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE WRECKAGE WAS TOWED AWAY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THE METAL COMPONENTS OF THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER BLOWER SWITCH MELTS ON THE INSIDE CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.

AIR BAG SENSOR IN CUSHION ON PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. VEHICLE IS EITHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. LIGHT COMES ON FOR A WEEK AND THEN GOES AWAY FOR MONTHS AND COMES BACK AGAIN. MILEAGE SINCE I NOTICE IT WAS 48000. HYUNDAI SAID THE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS MAKES NO SENSE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SEATS IN MY CAR HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED OR REPLACED THEY HAVE THE SAME SEATS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. SO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY. NOTICED IN THE COMPLAINTS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUES SEEMS LIKE IT.
