Veloster 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 88,045 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

2016 Veloster Base model, drove to work, noticed on the highway it got harder to accelerate, and anytime I came to halt, engine felt as if it was about to shut off. soon as I parked engine stalls.. no check engine light on or anything, restarted car, and now revs up to 1k-2k rpms.. then stalls if I attempt to go further and now a noticeable muffled sound coming from the driver side of the engine.. changed spark plugs, coils, oil itself, sound went away but engine still in this limp mode with Check Engine light. Will attempt to take it to a shop to get a proper diagnosis.. but fear no shops will know how to fix a DCT.

Veloster 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

2016 Veloster purchased vehicle new within first 15k miles vehicle loses power, dealership replaces catalytic converters, at 30k miles same thing happens dealer replaces converters and 02 sensors, at approx. 64k miles vehicle loses power once again, dealership claims converter clogged once again and low engine failure. They replace short block and converters, after all this, hoping problem is resolved. At 77k miles vehicle loses power dealership claims converter clogged due to air intake hose missing fix hose replace converter with less than 15k miles on new motor. Car is now consuming oil arguing motor is about to fail once again.
