My car 2015 hyundia Veloster has been under recall since 2021 for connecting rod failure in engine and oil leaking around spark plugs that could cause a fire plus what the other recall is. Hyundai corp refuses to repair my car, it has ksds, oil consumption, refuse to do engine inspection, wanting to charge me for items related to a recall. My car as stated with you before eating oil, poor compression stalls knock loses power I recently had to pay 3200. 00 for catalytic converters so I would have a car only to find out it could happen again due to recall number198. I need someone to help me get this resolve. Why should have to replace my engine when it under recall and you can't sell your car due to that? I have been fighting Hyundai corp for two years I had oil around my spark plugs in 2023, black spark plugs 2024.

The car lost power gradually ;when I was driving ; we were on the freeway and I couldn’t continue driving 60 miles per hour , therefore I turned on the turn signals cause I just could drive at 35 miles per hour and the car just start shaking ; I just look for the next exit by the time we were on risk on the emergency lane for along time cause the next exit was to far from there . And the car was too slow ,when we finally got exit I call and I stop my car and call the mechanic to ask for help and he help me plug in the scanner machine to my car and there was a problem with some cylinders and one valve and I decided to called to the dealer to get an appointment:. My vehicule already was checking for Hyundai but they just text me a message ; they said my car needs to replace a motor ,turbo ; some broken valves causing zero pounds of compression on cylinder 4-long block repair-new intake and exhaust manifolds (including turbo)required due to broken valve sending metal through the entire system -quote long block/intake and exhaust manifolds /turbo /all necessary gaskets and fluids for repair : I just was noted my car was consuming too much oil, cause the car board showed me 3 weeks ago and I need to add oil ,and the mechanic plugged in the scanner; but it doesn’t showed something else ;therefore 3 weeks ago I added 1/4 or more ; then was 2 week ago; I added 1/4 of oil again and then just last week I added 1/4 or more oil again ;I just was checking the oil constantly. ; and it should be noted that the car was not leaking oil but I didn’t understand why it was running out so quickly .

A connecting rod bearing failed in the engine leading to catastrophic engine failure with the connecting rod breaking through the wall of the engine block causing a hole and undriveable vehicle. According to my research, this issue has been recalled in adjacent model years (2015-2016) but not in my model year (2013) that has the same engine. This issue has already been confirmed in these engines, but Hyundai states my car is not included in the recall. This was a safety risk because the engine failure breached the engine wall which could have ignited engine oil and caused a fire. The engine may have also failed at a critical driving moment when acceleration was needed and stranded the car in an unsafe position. Yes, the problem was reproduced at the dealer's service center because the failure occurred while they were test driving my vehicle. Since the service center tech was the one driving the car when the incident occured, I do not know if there was a fire or not and the speed they were traveling, etc. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer service center and confirmed that this is the issue that caused the problem. The dealer even suspected this was going to happen as they had foreknowledge of the issue occurring on other vehicles that had already been recalled for this issue. The only prior warning of this issue is that I had some misfires on the engine a few days before which is what prompted me to bring it in for service. The misfires temporarily illuminated the "check engine" light but then the light went back out again. I had no idea this minor issue would result in such a severe, catastrophic failure.

Car hit 100k miles engine is knocking and mechanic says engine is blown. Researched the issue and found many other people having same issue. Hyundai issued a recall for this year's Veloster but is saying my car does not fall under the category even though it is one of the issued problems with vehicle.

As I was driving on the highway I started losing power and a warning of transmission over heating appeared on screen. I let the car sit and cool down and when I started it up again the same issue persisted, I had the car towed home. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk since I was driving and highway speed and car just slowed down during rush hour traffic. The vehicle has not been expected at this time.

Shortly after finishing major repairs at my local dealer, I started to expirience, what I believe, now, to be a "low-end engine knock". Engine knock can usually occur due to oil starvation, where the connecting rod bearings are worn and debris enters the engine. So, I brought my car back to the dealer to ask them what this strange noise was I was hearing; I asked them if it could be the brand new clutch, or their equipment they left in the engine bay for me. They gave me an answer and it was to not drive the car anymore. One employee of the dealer even suggested "wrapping it around a telephone pole". . . They told me what the repairs would cost and I had not qualified for a warranty extention so I left. I acquired a definitive diagnostic elsewhere and was shown the gravity of the situation. My oil filter had caught pieces of the engine and it was dubbed an engine knock. This incident took me completely by surprise. I regularly changed my oil and never saw my levels get so low that they would be considered empty. I have only owned the car for 5 years and it being only 8 years old, I was hoping to enjoy the driving expirience for years to come. That sensation has been replaced with apprehension and possible engine fire. . . How do I afford to buy a new car every 5 years if I can't drive the one I have now??.

On may 13, 2024 my car had it's motor replaced. This was done at no charge by Hyundai of wesley chapel (not where I bought it). The motor was replaced because of a recall (product improvement campaign 966/ knock sensor detection system). On July 28, 2024 my car engine ( the new one they had given me 10 weeks earlier) overheated and broke down. We had the car towed back to Hyundai of wesley chapel. They were unable to determine the cause of the engine breaking down, other than that is was leaking coolant. Hyundai is asking me to pay for a diagnostic test, estimated at between $3,000 and $4,000 to determine the cause. We do not want to do that and don't believe we should be held responsible for this cost. We have not been provided with a loaner car. This is a big inconvenience that we need resolved.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop light, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that no failures were found after the vehicle was inspected. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to autozone, where diagnostic test codes indicated a timing chain failure and other diagnostic test codes were retrieved. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed due to low engine oil, and the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that 2 quarts of oil was added to the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the engine was overfilled with oil. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the failure was related to the knock sensor. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, great lakes Hyundai of dublin (2441 billingsley rd, columbus, OH 43235), where it was diagnosed. The dealer informed the contact that no engine failure was found; however, the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power, went into limp mode, and failed to exceed 5 mph. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving 35-40 mph. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle had become undrivable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they relied on the dealer’ assessment. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Vehicle is burning through oil without having oil light engaged. Vehicle is going through two quart + of oil every 3 weeks. Just added 2 quarts of oil 3 weeks ago when the car would not accelerate past 5mph and rough idled (this turned out to be caused by a different issue still being diagnosed), I added the oil as dip stick showed no oil on the stick. Light did not come on. Took to independent mechanic this week who stated I had no oil in the vehicle. Can not go 3 month/3000 miles for an oil change or the engine would be damaged. Have taken the vehicle several times to valvoline who indicate no oil with no oil pressure light on, each time. This has been constant for 2 years. Each mechanic shop states the gdi engines are burning through oil. No oil leaks have been detected. This issue could result in serious engine damage.

While driving the vehicle has stalled/engine shuts off at different speeds and also while the vehicle's steering wheel is turned to move it into a different direction (for example making a right turn at a perpendicular street/road). There is a concern for the operator's safety and others operating around a stalling vehicle especially at higher velocity/speeds and when traffic is heavy. The dealership has recommended an engine replacement, not sure if the dealer has been able to reproduce the problem. Currently, the vehicle has only been inspected by a dealership. The flashing engine light first appeared on 06/07/2024, this would be the second time the vehicle stalled (engine shut off) on the same day.

Rod knocking noise engine.

One night I was driving on the highway and my check engine light came on. At first I thought it was weird because I had just gotten the car from a dealership three weeks prior. I pulled into a gas station and checked my oil which was low so I added some oil that I had bought. As I was driving home the car suddenly developed a tick and started to lose power. The turbo stopped working. I was pretty concerned about this so the next morning I decided to top off the oil and I decided to take the car into a shop. The first shop heard the engine knock and told me that my crankshaft might be going bad but I wanted a second opinion so I took it to a trusted shop who heard the engine knock and told me the engine would need to be replaced. I called the warranty company and they inspected it at the shop and said the engine would need to be torn down for diagnosis. I had to agree to pay for the shop to tear down the engine if it would not be covered. The shop found metal shavings in the oil pan. Once the engine was apart, they said that the rod bearing was bad. The car and engine are available for inspection.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle lost motive power and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle started to shake. The contact stated that after shifting into gear the vehicle became difficult to drive. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the vehicle was diagnosed with a passenger’s air bag fault. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 172,000.

This has happened on 4 different occasions. I'm on the highway and my speedometer slams to zero and everything involving the brakes lights up in my dash. The car continues to drive but it's pretty worrisome as I drive 70mph around alot of traffic. I have been able to pull over every time but it's still beyond unacceptable. I've had my Veloster a little under a year and I don't know if the other recall involving the motor being replaced was taken care of. It was a recall associated with my VIN. I have a video of it happening but for some reason I try to upload it on the app and it won't allow me to. It is the proper format.

My car is recall for connecting rod bearing failure Hyundai gave us a extended warranty for this 15 years or 150,00 miles plus I have 20 year 200,00 mile warranty too my engine has oil consumption a quart every 2- 3 weeks been in the Hyundai shop October 2023 for oil around spark plugs jerking engine trying to stall I had my car tow they did a tune up charge me for towing and spark plugs said it was part of engine failure. Next in 04/24 engine light came on compression has been getting worse over two years car tow was told catalytic converters were clogged which is not covered so there another bill on me which I think at 124 plus mileage was due to engine problems but Hyundai corp denied this of course. They want me to drive the car until the engine light flashes in middle of nowhere all I want is my recall engine fixed so I will feel safe in my car there was a lawsuit on the connecting rod bearing failure recently nothing has been done I can't afford another car at my age.

Nothing has been done for the recall engine, Hyundai recall 198 which states damage engine can increase the risk of fire or engine stall increasing the risk of a crash. Why is Hyundai selling cars that are recall for engines . As stated before oil consumption, jerks, no compression, going up hills is rough, cabin gets warmer than usual Hyundai corp told me that the clogged catalytic converters were no cause by engine failure is this correct I have to pay for them. I have the recall for the brakes finally making a appt can you help me my engine is getting worse I'm afraid to drive it.

Abs component and or fuse is causing pre ignition in the motor thus causing abnormal rpm’s when idling or driving thus further causing damage to the vehicle itself.

After noticing a significant shortage of oil, I took my 2016 Hyundai Veloster turbo to get an oil change. There continued to be persistent low oil in my vehicle even after an oil change. I put things under my car to make sure there was no leak and the vehicle maintenance advisor informed me there is no external leak present when getting the oil change. I drove a week and my oil dipstick was already showing significantly low oil in the engine. After contacting Hyundai about this issue, they said I would need to go through the same process with them and they would not be held responsible for billing. This comes at a time where technical service bulletin #23-em-007h was recently released in December 2023 applying to 4-cylinder gasoline engines. I’m concerned about the safety of myself and others due to the probability of a fire, however I have already paid out of pocket for maintenance that had diagnosed the issue.

I was on the highway and looked at my speedometer and the mph was at 0. The abs and the brake light warnings came on and I couldn't accelerate and hardly brake. I pulled to the shoulder immediately. Took a couple hundred feet to finally stop. It was a very scary moment thinking my brakes have gone. I put it in park waited a moment turned it off. . . Waited about 5 mins and it turned over just wanted to get it home.

I noticed the engine was losing oil constantly and the exhaust was emitting black smoke often, I had to refill the oil about once a month, eventually the car broke down and took it to a Hyundai dealership. They said they needed to perform a leakdown/compression test on the car, and $585 to perform a diagnostic. Then they said the leak down/compression test showed the exhaust valves had broken and they would need to do a long block replacement. Also mentioned they needed to have Hyundai allow them to release that long block as it is part of a recall on other vehicles. Later was told Hyundai did not approve it under the warranty.

Engine started knocking at 117,xxx miles with oil changes less then 5,000 miles. Dealership acknowledged and confirmed that the rod bearings were bad. If requested could remove the rod bearings. Dealership and corporate Hyundai acknowledged the problem, but would not help cover any of the costs. The vehicle was also losing around 1 quart for every 1,000 miles which was not addressed by the dealer. This is a huge safety risk, if the bearing completely failed the vehicle would have stalled on the interstate. No check engine light is present or was present. The issues with the Veloster turbo is well know and document from 2012-2017 regarding the failure of rod bearings prematurely. Other kia and Hyundai vehicles have recalls for this same problem, unfortunately the Veloster does not.

15 warranty repairs with less than 60k mileage that were discovered for the vehicle’s history. To date I have replaced: catalytic converter (discovered this is a common issue with the vehicle) infotainment front struts rear shocks motor mounts driver side window motor (previously repaired by Hyundai replaced by Hyundai 1/7/2020 at 56k miles, malfunction a 2nd time) windshield wiper motor (previously repaired by Hyundai replaced by Hyundai 10/7/2019 at 54k miles, malfunction a 2nd time) a/c motor blower oxygen sensor fuel injectors (common issue) driver side/passenger side control arms windshield wiper hoses due to dry rot all 4 ignition coils battery leads.

Purchased the vehicle and a few weeks late received a recall letter (23v651000) about their abs issue. They never did send us the recall letter regarding the known engine issue. Months later the engine completely seized up. We took it to a mechanic who told us to call hyudai since the engine was well beyond repair. We called the hyudai dealership in town and they explicitly told us their were no active recalls for this car. After finding out a replacement engine would cost over $10k we had no other option but to salvage the vehicle. Fast forward about a month and we received recall letter (service campaign 966) about a recall active since March 2021 regarding engine sensor malfunction that could result in total engine loss if not addressed. Hyundai is refusing to take responsibility for not informing us about this recall during few months we owned the car. They also are not taking responsibility at the dealership level for telling us there were no active recalls (there are two active recalls that were present when we called. ) is there anything that NHTSA will or can help with regarding this issue. Hyundai very clearly dropped the ball on this issue and are refusing to be helpful or take responsibility. This could have been a very dangerous situation if the car was driving at speed - luckily the engine broke down when pulling out of the driveway. . .

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle started to decelerate independently, and there was a ticking sound coming from the engine. The contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 20v746000 (engine). The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The recall repair was not performed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

Engine runs too lean had t/b and104898 mass airflow and O2 sensors replaced less than a year ago still same problem also consuming too much oil,.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to autozone, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure, glow relay short circuit, and abs failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed of Hyundai campaign numbers: 989 (underbody corrosion preventative service) and 993 (inspect & anti-theft software upgrade). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,220.

There is a recall for 2016 Velosters that is for the engine rods failing. The 2015 to 2016 Hyundai Veloster has been recalled for connecting-rod bearings in the engine that could wear out prematurely and damage the engine1. The 2016 Hyundai Veloster has had several engine-related issues, including excessive oil consumption, going into limp mode, hesitating at acceleration, knocking sound in the engine, poor acceleration, stalling, failure in the timing chain tensioner, rough idling, and oil leaks. Which is exactly what is happening to my car currently. Told me I was not eligible. But I'm not understanding why.

Knocking on engine. All service necessary for the vehicle has been up to date. Hyundai dealer has said to wait for a recall. Rod bearing recall has happened and my vehicle was never recalled.

The rods are going bad , and Hyundai doesn’t want to admit that they did a horrible job with the engine and they don’t want to replace the engine , unless the car is a 2013 or 2016 which is ridiculous. They don’t want to honor their word.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, he heard an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the connecting rod bearings. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 20v746000 (engine) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 130,000.

When I make short trips and then turn car off for a few minutes before trying to start it again, sometimes it doesn’t restart. I have to sit there for 5-15 minutes before it will start again. Once, it died at a 4-way stop then started right back up. Today, the motor cut off while I was accelerating at 35 mph right in the middle of the road. After 10 minutes it started right back up. This is my daily driver and I know there’s a campaign for this abs/electrical issue but I need a solution immediately before I’m left up a creek without a paddle. That was so scary that I’m afraid to even get on the interstate to take it to the dealership!.
