MY CAR IS UNDER OPEN RECALL WITH HYUNDAI COMPAIGN # RECALL 182 OR NHTSA RECALL #19V204000 . I HAVE ENGINE DAMAGE IN CYLINDER NUMBER 2 WHICH IS DUE TO THE MIX OF AIR AND FUEL AND HYUNDAI REFUSE TO COVER MY ENGINE UNDER THIS RECALL EVEN THEY PUT SAFETY RISK OF THIS RECALL IS :ENGINE DAMAGE CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE OR CAUSE AN ENGINE STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. SO HYUNDAI WANT TO DO ONLY SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PREVENT THE SAFETY RISK BUT IT IS TO LATE FOR MY CASE SINCE THE RISK OR THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY HAPPENED TO MY CAR AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE BAD ENGINE THAT I HAVE NOW . NOTE: THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR IS 42000 MILES. THAT IS THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE HYUNDAI FOR THIS RECALL. HTTPS://AUTOSERVICE.HYUNDAIUSA.COM/CAMPAIGNHOME/CAMPAIGN/INDEX.

MY VELOSTER WAS AT 73K MILES WHEN ITS ENGINE WAS BLOWN UP. WHILE I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY ON A FAST-FOOD PARKING LOT, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND METAL CLANG FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR. THE CAR LOST ITS POWER AND THERE WAS SMOKING COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD AS WELL. SO, I WENT TO POP THE HOOD UP. THERE WAS OIL SPLASHED ON THE ENGINE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BLOWN ENGINE ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FOR 2 MONTHS FROM A DEALER. THE DEALER I BOUGHT FROM HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS IN EXCELLENT HEALTH, AND EVERYTHING. I HAD NOT INSTALLED ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS OR TWEAKED ANYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE, BESIDES REPLACING A NEW SET OF TIRES. I REALLY HOPE THAT HYUNDAI WILL PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE SINCE IT WAS BASICALLY ITS PRODUCTION FAULT. I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION, HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR HIGH SPEED. ALSO, I AM NOT THE ONE WITH THAT HYUNDAI HAD LEFT A BAD TASTE IN THE MOUTH WITH ITS ENGINE FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DURING THE WINTER LAST YEAR APPROX. JANUARY AND HAD HALF THE MILES LISTED ABOVE. MY INTERIOR HEAT CONTROL WAS ON FULL BLAST AND IT CUT OUT. I TRIED TO ADJUST AND IT WOULD TURN ON IF THE KNOB WAS PERFECTLY ALIGNED....SLIGHT ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WAS PRESENT. TOOK INTO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE INTERIOR BLOWER SWITCH, THE CONNECTION HAD SCORTCH MARKS ON IT SO THEY REPLACED THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS ALONG WITH THE SWITCH/CONTROL KNOB. 6 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM WAS RECURRING EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS RUNNING AIR CONDITIONING AS THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 36 DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE.... THIS TIME MUCH WORSE. IT SMELT LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. ,,,I TOOK THE COVER PLATE OFF THAT HELD THE HEATER CONTROLS IN PLACE AND THE CONNECTIONS ON IT LITERALLY MELTED OFF INTO MY HAND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, MANY OTHER HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR ME.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER'S SUNROOF EXPLODED VIOLENTLY, WHILE PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT. IT CAUSED DAMAGED TO THE INTERIOR AND TO THE SURROUNDING VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO REVIEWS THIS ISSUE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THE 2012 MODELS, YET MINE IS A 2013. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR ONCE THE MANUFACTURE/DEALERSHIP FIX IT. AND SADLY, I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. *TR

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.

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

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PRIOR TO THIS, THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING COMPLETELY FINE. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 93,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I TOWED MY CAR 20 MILES TO MY LONG TIME AND TRUSTED MECHANIC. HE SAYS MY CAR HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI VELOSTERS, AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ MOST PEOPLE DECIDE TO AVOID THE HEADACHE AND RUNAROUND THAT HYUNDAI GIVES THEM WHEN REPORTING THE ISSUE. THEY INSTEAD OPT TO TRADE THEIR VEHICLES IN. WOULD THIS ISSUE WARRANT A RECALL? GIVEN THE FACT THAT HYUNDAI KNOWS THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE? NOT TO MENTION, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN! MY CAR LITERALLY STALLED ON A HIGHWAY.

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. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS PLUGGED AGAIN. THE PREVIOUS FAILURE (SEPARATE REPORT) IN JUNE 2019 CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE HAD A NEW SHORT BLOCK INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WITH 9000 MILES ON THE NEW SHORT BLOCK AND CAT, THE CAT IS PLUGGED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE HAS A DISTINCTIVE TICKING SOUND THAT WAS PRESENT WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED THE LAST TIME. HYUNDAI HAS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE VEHICLE IS SERVICED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS OR BEFORE. WE USE STANDARD GASOLINE WITH NO AFTERMARKET ADDITIVES.
