2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER Complaints

Engine consumes a quart of oil every 1-2 weeks. Burning through oil like crazy in-between oil changes, feels sluggish on low gears, stalls, rattling noise. Mass oil consumption damages rods causing other engine issues such as punctures in n engine block.

I was on the freeway and the car stalled almost causing a major accident took the shop they said I need to replace engine coils and spark plug’s replaced and in a few weeks on the freeway on the way to work it stalled again took back to the shop they checked my spark plugs and engine coils they were burnt and black they said engine failure cylinder 2 it’s been in shop 6 times now they say I need a engine

Car will stop driving in the middle of the highway and it won't shift gears. my car is 2013 Veloster with only 60000 miles

Due to Recall 182. I was driving and without warning my car slowed down to 40 mph from 70 mph and thecheck engine came on. I had the car towed to Midas who informed me of a recall that had caused a pressure build up in the piston which caused the engine to fail. The rate at which the car slowed was unbelievable and almost caused the car behind me to rear-end my car. The dealership refuses to fix the car stating that it is not under warranty. The engine failure happened at 86,000 miles. I got to drive this car for all of 3 months and it has been at the dealership for 5 months.

The engine in these vehicles is well-known for rod bearing failure taking out the entire engine, there is also a recall that states it can cause engine damage. Hyundai has recalled these engines for all years but 2013, and has left these owners out to dry. Dealers are quoting $15,000 to put in a USED engine with no guarantee it will not have the same problem. Hyundai of America refuses to help and tries to escape culpability because they voided the 100,000 mile warranty as I'm not the original ownew who also had a supplementary warranty. Engine failure has the obvious risk of a major safety issue, a dealer verifies the engine is in need of replacement, the engine has failed with no warning.

My engine recently started making knocking noise from the bottom of the block, very indicative of rod bearing knock. This is extremely common with my model year and Hyundai covers this issue with other vehicles my model year. When I contacted both Hyundai and the dealer they told me my vin did not have the coverage of an engine replacement. My car has the same engine as all the others that have this issue and I have seen others get their engine replaced. The dealer told me an engine replacement would cost me 3x the price of the car.

A recall was issued 2019 for engine management control I own the car my sister-in-law bought the car in 2016 it is a 2013 Hyundai Veloster in 2018 the engine blew with 52,000 miles on it the car still sits in front of my house able to start with a blown engine Hyundai refused to fix the issue the engine blew due to the engine management control the car was sitting at Hyundai for about 6 months and they decided to have me pick it up and didn't want to fix anything they also lost my key fob and had to replace that I would like my engine fixed in my Hyundai free of charge I don't think I should fix an engine that has been blown at 52,000 miles with a recall part that made the engine blow please help me with this issue [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

UNKNOWN I'm not sure, I'm only scared what happens if this recalls isn't fixed sooner than expected so I can avoid unexpected issues or expensive repairs...

Engine failed driving down the highway, rod broke witch put a large hole in the engine.

I was driving back home from work.When I began to notice a knocking sound coming from my engine. The car suddenly began to shake and stall, not allowing me to accelerate properly. Right after that the car completely shut off and I had to push it to the side of the road. About a month later I received a notice from Hyundai in which they stated the vehicle had a recall due to failing connecting rod bearing. I contacted my mechanic on what this may caused, and without me going into full detail about my incident he mentioned everything that I went through. I then schedule an appointment at my local Hyundai delearship for the KSDS install, and hoping for a fix under the warranty guidelines given in the notice. Today I received a message notifying me that they would not be fixing the car under the recall notice.
