general problems of the 2015 Hyundai Veloster - part 2

I brought in my car to the irvine tuttle-click Hyundai service location because the recall said my car had a possibility of engine fires, and my car has been with this service location for more than four months because the employees at this location inspected my car and confirmed that it needed to be replaced. There were no issues with my car prior to bringing it to this location and no warning lights were appearing on my dash to alert me of any problems. Now that they claim that they have completed replacing my engine, they are claiming that the alternator on my car is now damaged and needs to be replaced for $535. 15, and if I do not replace it my car will not start without a jump start. Before bringing my car into this location there was no problems getting my car to start. The representative I spoke to claimed the part no longer works because the engine is new and the preexisting parts are old so they will most likely be damaged now because they are unable to work with the new engine. Again there were no issues with my car outside of the recall. It was running perfectly with no issues before I brought it to this service center and the only reason I brought it in was because I got the recall notice in the mail. Along with this issue they have had my car for since may 20th and it is now October 1st, because of this new issue they still have my car even though they claim to have completed the recall service. Also throughout the entire four months of my car being at their location they were not communicating with me at all regarding any of the progress with my car. Any communication was from me calling for updates on the services which were met with incomplete answers. Now that they are attempting to charge me for the part that they claim is damaged, the representative I have been working with and the front desk have not been picking up my calls.

I have a Hyundai Veloster 2015 base (dual-clutch transmission) that has 152,000 miles. I’ve regularly kept up with maintenance. Fully synthetic oil changed every ~5k miles. About a month ago it got a brand new battery and a new alternator. I have some issues related to the transmission. My owners manual regarding transmission fluid says: transmission fluid: -checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid: the automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick. Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid. I’ve recently experienced intermittent issues with the transmission failing to engage 1st gear from a stop. I have a code p073f as well as p0420 that’s been intermittent for months. (I know that’s the cat converter) the engine revs but does not accelerate at all from a stop on occasion. It happened three times in the week. Also have issues with clutch (dct) overheating. When this occurs, I will see the current gear that I am in (usually d but it has occurred in all others except p, n, and r) begins to flash (usually three times) with a chime warning noise. Restarting the vehicle resolves the issue occasionally. Then, a few days ago, after coming off of the highway I was no longer to get the car to go faster than around 20 to 30 mph and began to hear a loud clanking/metallic sound seemingly from the engine. The gear indicator began blinking rapidly and continued to blink in every gear in d as well as s and even when I put the vehicle in park. After turning it off and waiting about 10 mins I turned it on and the “p” was no longer blinking. Decided to test driving it through the parking lot and began blinking again pretty much as soon as it shifted gears and began to hear a metallic noise again. I suppose that I assumed it being a closed-circuit or “sealed” transmission meant there wasn’t maintenance to be done on it.

I turned my car on after work and saw my check engine light turn on I went to autozone to have it checked and they gave me a paper stating it was p0441 engine code. Which has something to do with an incorrect purge flow and is harmful to you and eats away at your gas mileage. Don’t know if this is a safety issue.

The engine in my 15 Veloster is going out at only 140,00 miles despite tedious care and up keep. I've had a issue of rough idling, loss of power to the engine including a back fire. The engine makes a distinct ticking noise when the accelerator is pushed down. I have paperwork from a mechanic that reports these problems and them looking at it. They told me to take it to the dealership. I took it to a bachman Hyundai and they said it definitely had connecting rod bearings issues. They were surprised it wasn't under recall. As was I when I saw online from multiple sources, that "2015-2016 Veloster, 2012 santa fe, 2011-2013 sonata hybrid, and 2016 sonata hybrid vehicle" had this recall. My VIN is not applied to this recall however. I have contacted Hyundai customer care and they refuse to give me a explanation of this reasoning. I asked if they were made in different plants. He gave me no straight forward response, and declined my request to speak with a supervisor with more information. The dealership will not replace the engine, and I will not pay over 6,000 to replace a engine that "can increase the risk of a fire or it can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. .

The car began stalling while driving. Took to the Hyundai dealer in idaho falls, id and they changed spark plugs, did not repair the car, the coils, did not repair the car. Next, the car began vibrating and underpowered with the check engine light flashing. Made it to the dealership only to find out the motor suffered internal failure and is irreparable. This fits the exact description of the engine recalls that have impacted the other Veloster models. My car has been serviced regularly, with records of oil changes, tire rotations, and is currently in immaculate condition. The dealership has indicated that it will cost $8,000 to put in an engine from the salvage yard. I am certain that I am victim to the faulty engine.

My 2015 Veloster reflex has been at alan jackson, jackson TN. For 45 days. The vehicle was serviced there for campaigns/recalls. The primary complaint, engine failure while I was driving down highway 70, the engine completely shut off, a defective engine, a product which Hyundai is at fault. The defective engine is consuming 1 quart of oil per 80 miles. I asked the service department to start the oil consumption test, brian the lead technician, responded "you need a new engine. " this safety hazard and economic burden has yet to be resolved. The Veloster is kept and maintained in immaculate condition. While the vehicle is only garage kept, it is now in the elements without protection, remaining on the lot of the service department for over 45 days, which is not in good faith a suitable resolution period. I commute 100 miles round trip for my profession as a university professor in microbiology for the university of tennessee. My 2015 Veloster reflex is my primary mode of transportation to various satellite and main campus obligatory profession duties. I am without transportation due to Hyundai's negalence in properly addressing these chief safety hazardous engine failures/massive oil (synthetic) consumption which is now blowing through my catalytic converter, exiting through my exhaust tips, turning them black and splattering oil along my rear bumper. The original case manager, jose, failed to respond to this safety hazard in the 10 business days which Hyundai has set forth, as well as, when jose would tried to be reached on my behalf, jose was never available, in addition too, his voicemail was always full, which meant I could not leave a message. Again, is this how Hyundai's customer care is really showing through their actions that they do care?.

I have reported an issue to ronnie freeze, service manager at o. B. , ms. Hyundai in April 2015. Less than 3 months after purchase. I had engine and starting failure for 15-25 minutes after a check sensor code popped up. I gave this code to service, and all they could say was, �well, I never heard of that�. Let me know if it happens again. And it did, and I reported it, and. . . Nothing. Same old thing, don't know what that could be. Well after the third time, I began to feel the car running still even when the key was removed. Sounds crazy but I had multiple family members who witnessed this issue. Scary that I reported this also, but nobody knew anything to do. Mr. Freeze at olive branch Hyundai acted like I was crazy. I know when there is an issue and I say that I have had one since I signed papers on 01/23/2015. I am extremely lucky that a fire hasn't started with my vehicle apparently not completely shutting down. I feel that someone has known about the current situation with the engine and I also feel that I purchased a lemon this time with Hyundai. I love my car and truly hate the feeling of not knowing if I will be safe the next time I get in my vehicle to drive anywhere. I feel that a satisfactory response is needed immediately from Hyundai as to what I should expect from them. I need answers right away. It has been too long or Hyundai to decide what the solution will be. I need a response from the company now! I no longer put 100% trust in Hyundai. What could the recall cover? a replacement engine, and replacement rod bearings, and everything else that could be damaged? I feel like Hyundai has failed major by not doing anything to remedy the defect in a reasonable amount of time!! I don't have a safe car to drive anywhere now. I want answers.
