HYUNDAI/NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR 2015-2016 VELOSTER 1.6 ENGINES FOR CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURES, AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING AND KNOWN FOR YEARS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO 2011-2018 1.6L GDI MOTORS USED IN HYUNDAI AND KIA VEHICLES, WHICH ALL HAVE ISSUES WITH ROD BEARING FAILURES. THE ROD BEARING IS GOING OUT ON MY VELOSTER THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR RECALL FOR THE MOTOR IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE GOING ON ON ALL MODEL YEARS. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE RUNNING ENGINE WITH THE ROD BEARING NOISE BUT IT EXCEEDS THE FILE LIMIT SIZE. THE LINK IS THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I UPLOADED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE MADE CLICKING NOISES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST DIED. ALSO, WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE. I WAS ADVISED BY A MECHANIC THAT THE ROD BEARINGS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE ROD BEARINGS BUT ONLY FOR 2015 AND 2016.

THIS CARS ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT'S IN DRIVE ETC. MY HUSBAND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR FLAT DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WENT FORWARD CRUSHING HIM AGAINST THE HOUSE. I PULLED THE CAR BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IT SAID IT WAS IN PARK TO FREE HIM. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE. WILL BE CONTACTED A LAWYER BECAUSE THIS WAS CAUGHT ON VIDEO FROM MY RING DOORBELL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHERE IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ON 3XS BEFORE IT WILL GO INTO GEAR. HYUNDAI DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

THIS ISSUE HAPPENED TWO DAY IN A ROW.. I START MY CAR UP TO GO TO WORK, PUT IT IN GEAR AND CANT MOVE BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES ARE STUCK, MY CAR IS STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY CAUSING ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK, I CALLED MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR 4,490 VELOSTER THAT YEAR.. IF MY CAR DOESNT QUALIFY BECAUSE OF SOME SILLY VIN NUMBER BUT HAS THE RECALL ISSUES.. SHOULDNT IT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL?

I PURCHASED THIS CAR 3/2012 DEC 2013 MY CAR HAD TO BE TAKEN IN FOR THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS , SUNROOF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, TOOK IT IN TO KENDALL HYUNDAI, CAR WAS OK BUT HAD LOW POWER. FEB 2016 CAR HAD TO GO BACK IN MY TRUNK LOCK WOULD NOT RELEASE. OCT 2016, ENGINE HAD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AFTER OIL CHANGE & SERVICE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP, I HAD TO HAVE AN ENGINE CHANGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. AS RECENT AS MAY 26, 2017 MY CAR FAILED , OIL LIGHT FLICKERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON JUN 22, 2017 AFTER ANOTHER ENGINE CHANGE. THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND WILL TAKE THE CAR . THE DEALERSHIP HAS SCHEDULED THIS TUESDAY & THAT THEY WILL KEEP THE CAR AGAIN FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY CAR HAS NOW HAD 2 ENGINE CHANGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I HAVE LOST THE VALUE IN THE CAR AND IT IS & WAS LEMON CAR. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR SELLING FAULTY CARS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT EACH ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS ON HAND.

FROM 9/8/2015 TO 11/14/15 I HAVE HAD THREE TIRES NEEDING REPLACEMENT DUE TO THEIR SENSITIVITY OF MINIMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND GETTING DAMAGED. EACH TIME I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE, SMALL ENOUGH TO WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS A DIP IN THE ROAD AS I CAME UPON IT. BUT ONCE THERE I COULDN'T SAFELY MANEUVER AROUND IT TO AVOID IT. THE STYLE OF THESE TIRES ARE 18" WHEELS WHICH LEAVES NO ROOM FOR CUSHION. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SPORTS CARS, SO I DIDN'T THINK TO ASK ABOUT TIRE ISSUES WHEN I PURCHASED THIS ONE. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3 WEEKS, SO ON 11/18/15 I HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO PURCHASE A FULL SET OF TIRES THAT WILL HOPEFULLY NOT BLOW OUT AT ANY BUMP OR TWIG IN THE ROAD. THE ROADS I TRAVEL ARE CITY ROADS AND AREN'T EVEN HAZARDOUS ROADS WITH ULTIMATELY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY 2015, AND TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS. MY PAPERWORK IS ALL THROUGH DISCOUNT TIRE IN AUBURN HILLS, MICHIGAN.
