27K miles and the engine blew. All services and maintenance have been done on time. Full synthetic oil change every 3K miles. Never abused or beat on. Left a stop light, normal cruising then smoke, grinding noises and loud clunking. Engine leaked out coolant and oil. Engine block is split.
Driving on interstate, all lights flashed on, engine light remained on and my car stalled and would not accelerate. I had to take it out of drive, put it in sport mode and then back to drive. It would shake violently if I went above 45 miles an hour, I was 130 miles from home. This is not first time this has happened, have made previous complaints
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and smoke appeared from the rear of the vehicle. The contact heard an abnormal grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle as if pieces of the engine were falling out of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and a large hole was found in the engine block. The vehicle was towed to webb highland Hyundai (9236 South indianapolis blvd, highland, in 46322, (219) 923-2277) where the vehicle was awaiting service. The contact had not received word on the diagnosis due to the upcoming holiday weekend. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
We took the car to hondai before this recall about 3 month ago left it there for 3 days they did a deep check up on the electricity since the car won't drive no results were found and the car still not working.
So my motor started making this ticking noise coming from the engine and I brought it to the dealership and they said I need a new motor due to the fact I just bought the not even a month from the small dealership which they don't offer warranty. I though it would still have warranty cause it still under 100K and it still under 10yrs warranty I thought they would cover it but instead it wat to the previous owner only now gonna cost me $11000 for new motor

I have a Hyundai Veloster 2013. On the hwy home from work my car suddenly lost power, I was able to make it to the side of the road where it completely died. Upon initial inspection it seemed to be in part due to the battery. We replaced the battery and. Switched out the alternator to test it and took it in to the dealership where they charged us 150 to suggest factory parts in order to diagnose it. I refused and put the old alternator back on after it tested clear and hecked the fuses. The multi fuse for the alternator had blown so we replaced that (making it driveable) and brought it in to a different Hyundai service dept. They didnt charge me to tell me that it had blown a rod and I needed a new engine. Hyundai is refusing to do anything however did call the sexist jerks from the originally Hyundai dealership and used that interacton as basis to say my car is fine...
I was driving down the street and the engine just started smoking. I was able to pull over and I got it towed to the mechanic and they said it was due to too much pressure on the cylinders that caused the engine to blow.. apparently this is a recall now.. recall 182. I can no longer move the car because the engine is blown as well as its about $5000 to fix..
'takata recall' my Veloster has been stalling since I leased it there's always a problem when speeding up and has been taken to the dealership for service more than 3 times for the same problem and has been out of service for more than 35 days this has happened to me on highway, stationary and on streets it's U just that I have to pay for a vehicle like this when I should be getting my moneys worth
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. While driving approximately 30 mph, the temperature warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle started to overheat and smoke appeared under the hood. The vehicle was taken to dublin Hyundai (located at 6015 scarlett ct, dublin, ca 94568, (925) 803-7700) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. However, the cooling fan was replaced. The contact stated that the cooling fan was inoperable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.
Mileage 114,000. A loud grinding and "whistle" noise began suddenly while driving in stop/go traffic. The car also started smoking and generating a very pungent smell. The noise has gotten worse. Turbo failure, $2000 repair. Hyundai can simply say I didn't maintain appropriate oil change records and deny any warranty repairs. Researching the issue revealed the turbo failing as a very common issue with the 2013 Veloster.
Lag upon acceleration. Multiple cylinder misfires. All replaced and continue to misfire. To much oil being expelled through exhaust, regular oil change records and drive efficiency. Potentially ruining turbo as well as motor. Depleting mpg.
57, xxx miles. Was driving on highway approximately 70mph, all of a sudden engine lost power and check light engine came on. Immediately pulled over and listened to car. Loud engine knocking noise. Not sure exactly what is wrong but calling dealership. Took to local mechanic who said they will have to tear down engine to specifically identify problem. Sounds like a common problem, and now with the recall, sounds even more like a problem.
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. While the contact's son was driving 60 mph, the vehicle shook violently. Additionally, oil and smoke emerged from the engine compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to columbia Hyundai (10981 montgomery rd, cincinnati, oh 45249, (513) 878-1980) where it was diagnosed that the connecting rod block was damaged and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was similar to NHTSA campaign number: 19V204000 (electrical system, engine). The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 15648836. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 64,802.
Hard to start, concerned about engine damage check engine light illuminated with code that gives false indication because I have replaced the alleged component many times.
I purchased my 2013 Hyundai Veloster in fall of 2015 as second owner from world Hyundai in matteson, il. It had roughly 32,000 on the odometer. After two decent years of relatively trouble free ownership the "electrical gremlins" attacked the trunk release, then the reverse camera, then the climate control knob. I was reluctant to take the car in again because I had spent more money on diagnostic charges than I had on items that were covered. I liked the vehicle and meticulously maintained it to spec as well. On one of the coldest days in winter of 2019, I went out to start up my Veloster and was terrified by a loud metal ticking followed by rattling in the motor. I immediately shut down the car. I waited a bit then tried to start it again. It was very bad. I took the car to the closest Hyundai dealership in which I described all the issues with the car. At this point the vehicle has roughly 92000 miles on the odometer and of course the tell me there is nothing they can do but, replace the motor for around $4500, sell me a new one, or buy it in trade. Once again I paid over $430 in diagnostic fees with no coverage or help. Looked around on line and found that these vehicles has had all of the above issues and no clear solutions to any. I've also noticed that all of the issues I have had with my vehicle many others have posted on youtube, google etc., but not many have filed official complaint. Come on people! get on board!
Stopped at a red light waiting for green. When green was up, I started to travel down the next road and there was a huge banging noise and my check engine light was on and the car engine stopped. There was smoke coming from the hood and pieces of metal banging from underneath the car and oil spewing out from behind me while I rolled to a stop. After stopping, I powered off the car due to smoke starting in the hood, opened up the hood and put out the small fire that started. Upon further examination, there was a hole in the side of my engine block. The driver behind me pulled over to help me out and we recovered pieces of metal being engine block, broken in half piston rod, piston rod pipe that connects to the engine rod, and a few other pieces of metal. I was less than 100 feet away from the stop when I started traveling. And less than 2 miles from where I left when I started driving. It was a residential street with a top mph of 40 mph. I wasn't even going above 15 mph when it blew. I was making a left turn onto the intersecting street when it broke loose.
