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

My car began making a whistling sound and stopped in traffic. No power just stopped.- I was driving on a feeder road at about 35mph.

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..

Engine failure

- Mount Olive, NC, USA

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.

- Livermore, CA, USA

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.

- Jonesville, NC, USA

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.

- Mona, UT, USA

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.

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.

After coming from work I noticed that my car was shaking and when I accelerated it felt like it was struggling. Next morning I turn on the car and it does the same. While the car remains on I open the hood and I remove the engine cover. I notice that the wiring in the engine harness is partially destroyed and sparking. Some parts start to ignite and I quickly turn off the car and put out the small little flames. If I hadn't noticed I would of caught on fire. My 2013 Hyundai Veloster only has 30,000 miles. This is crazy. I went to the dealership and they told me that my pictures look like the Hyundai Santa Fe's engine car fires!

On December 18 2018, I brought my car to the allen turner Hyundai in pensacola, fl. For an oil change and a check engine light issue. It is now January 26 2019. During the time they have had the car, they first diagnosed a blown head gasket. After repairing that, they determined that the engine had a cracked block. The car has less than 58,00 miles on it. Doing research, I've discovered that this engine is prone to catastrophic engine failures that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge. I even called and E mailed Hyundai usa for help, to no avail. The manufacturer warrantee timed out, but I purchased an after market warrantee from rout 66 in Arkansas.. unfortunately, due to the reporting of issue to the warrantee company by allen turner Hyundai, the warrantee company will not cover the repairs.

- Pensacola, FL, USA

With no warning, at low speed, having travelled only a quarter of a mile fromthe previous location where it had been parked for a couple of hours, the engine locked up in the middle of a busy highway, throwing a rod and multiple chunks of metal, and pouring oil onto the highway. This vehicle had been well-maintained, and had low mileage for its age. If this had happened after the motor really had a chance to heat up, there could have also been a fire. Debris from all of the parts flying out from underneath the car could have also caused injury.
