2013 Hyundai Veloster

THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE IN THE ENGINE CAUSED THE OIL TO BURN THROUGH FASTER THAN IT SHOULD, INCREASED PRESSURE AND CAUSED THE CYLINDER TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE. THIS RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE ROUGH AT LOW RPM, AND EVENTUALLY STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR

DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED THE VEHICLE AN HAS STATED THAT NO CODES WERE FOUND IN THE HISTORY SO THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2013, HYUNDAI VELOSTER. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN A LOUD BANGING NOISE STARTED AND THE CAR STARTED TO TURN OFF WITH ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. I COULD HEAR SOMETHING BANGING AROUND INSIDE THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THEN THE BLACK SMOKE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD/EXHAUST SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR OFF OF ROAD AND HAVE IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI WORLDCAR IN LIVE OAK TX. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $5000 FOR A USED ENGINE AND THAT QUOTE INCLUDES THE LABOR COST. HYUNDAI ALSO CONTACTED AND I REPORTED INCIDENT (DEALERSHIP DID NOT CONTACT HYUNDAI TO REPORT) WITH CASE # 16766796. MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 126,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD NO INDICATIONS OF ANYTHING WRONG. IT WAS A TERRIFYING SITUATION AND SO UNEXPECTED, PLUS I HAD ALSO JUST MADE MY LAST CAR PAYMENT, SO NOW I OWN A CAR WITH NO WORKING ENGINE AND I AM BEING MADE TO PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH WORLDCAR ADVERTISES A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I AM THE ONLY OWNER FOR THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. OIL LIGHT FLICKERED ON AND ENGINE MADE LOUD KNOCKING NOISES. TOWED CAR HOME. ENGINE MAKES KNOCKING NOISE UPON ACCELERATION AND OIL LIGHT FLICKERS ON. TOWED TO TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS WAS TOLD THERE WAS BOTTOM ENGINE DAMAGE. ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. QUOTED $5000. MILEAGE 122,000. OIL WAS FULL. IT IS NOT ONLY THE TURBO ENGINES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CLEARLY THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
