problem #1

Apr 172018

Veloster 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,801 miles

So my first episode with this problem at 14,801 miles, I was leaving work and noticed that I was loosing power, by the time I got 2 miles from my office the car was no longer moving, the RPM's would red-line and the car went no where, I had even shifted it into sport mode thinking the transmission was acting up again (Another Compliant) but no the car died, check engine light, full dash lights screaming at me.

Car was towed to the dealership, while at the dealership the service writer got in the car turned it on put it gear (Went no where) but he kept putting his foot into the accelerator and I swore the car was gonna blow, white smoke was blowing out the back end. The catalytic converter was replaced and returned to me the following day.

This has now happened again at 30,000 miles but before the car completely died since I already knew what it was I pulled over and had it towed. the catalytic converter was replaced and returned to me the same day. 2,500 miles later and its starting to have the same issues again.
