Connecting rod failure. A test was ran on my car and this code came up even though my check engine light was off. There is a rattling when accelerating and a decrease in speed when accelerating. The rattling began a little less than a year ago so I took it to a shop but they said it couldn-€™t be fixed because the engine is enclosed. Basically to fix this issue I would need an entire new engine and it is already causing major issues on my vehicle. This is a safety issue because the engine could just fail.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while her husband was driving approximately 20-25 mph, he heard an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle started to shake with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated her husband was able to pull to the side of the road, where he noticed that smoke was coming from under the hood. Additionally, there was oil leaking from the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that there was a large hole in the cylinder block. The fire was started due to a mixture of fuel and oil. The contact was informed by the mechanic that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 19V204000 (Electrical System, Engine) however, the recall repair was already completed on the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the failure was not related to the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that she was responsible for the cost of repair since the vehicle was out of warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 69,204.

I have had to replace the turbo and radiator. I have replaced the coil packs and spark plugs 3 times since I received the car and now the transmission is acting up. I bought the car Dec 2020 and it has left me stranded on the side of the road 4 times already from the engine malfunctioning.

Hyundai denied my claim for reimbursement for an engine issue. They stated that the VIN is not included in the recall. However, my mechanic is the one who bought the issue to my attention. He believes this recall should also apply to this vehicle. He said he is willing to discuss the repair with any interested parties. My mechanic is Auto Accents located in Lakewood NJ. His name is Nick and he can be reached at 732-905-5088. I only ask that review the attached receipt, speak with my mechanic, and consider adding this VIN to the recall.

On five separate occasions the vehicle engine has shut off completely while driving in traffic. Fortunately my wife was able to coast to the side of the road, but in all instances a serious road hazard and danger to safety for both us as well as the public was created. We are now no longer driving the vehicle out of fear of our safety. We have contacted the Hyundai dealership where all the prior 4+ years of service has been done, as well as Hyundai USA. Both have said they will not investigate. After the first two occurrences, I was told the original engine needed to be replaced due to metal shavings in the internal components. This is the exact same reason for the recent global recall, however Hyundai said our model was not covered under the warranty even though it was the same issue. We had the Hyundai Dealership replace the engine and within one month it happened again. This time they said the catalytic converter/exhaust manifold had failed again (this was the third catalytic converter). Since then, the engine has shut off two more times while driving. A local certified mechanic has inspected it and said he has seen several similar problems with other Hyundai vehicles. Hyundai USA refuses to address the issue.

While driving at 65+ mph on a major highway, car suddenly lost all power. I pulled over and all lights on cluster popped on at the same time (check engine, low oil, low tire pressure, low battery, etc), and then lights turned off. There were no error codes when read with a obd scanner. Car still ran, but would not move, all power was lost. After having it towed, it was found that the catalytic converter had clogged, and for some reason did not throw an error code. This happened on a busy highway with no warning, and could have been very dangerous if I hadn't been able to pull over.

Engine knocking. Using a lot of oil but not leaking

- Hazel Green, AL, USA

Vehicle hesitant to put power, stalls, loosing power when presing gas and check engine comes on, code for misfire. Changed plugs and coils still does the same issue like the one for the recall NHTSA campaign number: 19V204000 but my VIN is not under the list!

Hello, I believe there is an underlying issue with the Veloster 2013 that Hyundai has not addressed properly with their service campaign. I had received the service around 06/01/19 (I am not sure exactly when) and a year later have had the same exact problems this service was supposed to address. I have had engine stalls in the middle of the street near usc on a busy intersection and had to move the car by foot in fear of getting hit by another car. I've also had engine power issues that seem to have persisted. When this happened I took it into a mechanic to address the issue, their diagnosis was a bad coil pack for which they did a tune up (spark plugs, coil packs, oil filter). Shortly after the tune-up I had problems of the same misfiring issue where there would be no power to the engine and a slight knocking noise. I then took my car to hundai keyes mission hills to diagnose the problem this time and they said the same thing, bad coil pack. There have been known engine failures due to the ECU, and have read many anecdotal evidence that there is an issue with the ECU. I also believe this issue has caused my catalytic converter to fail prematurely as the misfires would send unburned fuel into the catalytic converter. I initially got in contact with a service manager at Hyundai Consumer Affairs on Feb 15th and he has finally called me today 03/15/19 after weeks of trying to get updates. The supervisor has deemed that this was out of warranty and that I would have to pay for it even after expressing my concerns that there might be an underlying issue that has not been resolved by the service campaign. This is a dangerous problem for other Veloster owners. And I fear that my engine will fail in the future. Here is the service campaign. Report receipt date: Mar 14, 2019 NHTSA campaign: 19V204000

The engine rods are knocking, even though I've kept oil in the car. And had regular oil changes. The engine oil always has to be filled after a couple weeks eventhough there is no oil leaks. Now the motor has to be replaced. There are multiple recalls on the same thing for this car just not on mine specifically. Noticed it today when I turned the car on and heard the knocking noise. This car company has a history of this same issue on multiple cars

Het leaking oil to the exhaust manifold, can cause fireead gask

Ive replaced the engine three time due to failure. The failure of the gdi motors is imminent. On a different note, the climate control knob heats up and burns out the metal strip behind the knob which causes the knob to eventually become useless.

Brakes lose of brake pressure when bumps are hit. Reapply brakes to regain pressure engine burning oil issues and overheating issues. This has resulted in my 1.6 L having engine failure and it is not on the recall list as the 2.0's and up are. Being that they are the same motor other than the size of pistons and turbo confuses

My 2013 Hyundai Veloster was under a recall in June last year for an engine problem that could result, if not fixed, in serious engine failure and damage while operating. I took the car to my local Hyundai dealership to fix the problem, but on 9/10/20 while driving on interstate 26 near columbia, SC, the car's speed suddenly dropped to no more than about 40 mph and wouldn't go any faster. That put me in extreme danger of getting struck from the rear by other faster-moving vehicles, so I rode the next approximately 5 miles on interstate shoulders to avoid danger. I was eventually able to drive the car that day to a repair shop in columbia, which determined that my car sustained serious engine failure and damage, and believed it was directly related to the 2019 recall, attaching a recall notice to the repair invoice. I called my local Hyundai dealership but was informed my car was not presently under recall. The bottom line is that the dealership either didn't do the 2019 repair at all or improperly did it, or more seriously for the thousands of other drivers nationwide of similar Hyundai Velosters, the software fix offered by Hyundai was not adequate, putting their lives in danger if their engines suffer serious engine failure and damage while traveling at high speeds. In my case, because the engine was ruined, I sold the car to a local junkyard. I've attached documentation verifying everything I've written. The 2019 documentation is under my wife's name; my name is on the latest records.
