So ibought. my volster oct 11th 2018 not qiutea yr ago. and im driving my car all of a sudden i hear a very odd nois i thouvht my turbo was going out .i takeit to dealership they and i asked for a loaner car while they were checking it out .it was some what drivable rpm reved up high i could. only go 30 maybe miles a hour the check engine light on stated on. they said they didnt have a loaner car . so i drive my car home well i had to go to work so of course im having to drive mt car like this it starts pooring billowing out white thik smoke from back n engine temps goes sky high. i ened up having my car towed to hyundai dealership. its there now i think my car engine has seized or block is cracked .
Engine was making increased noise and loss of gas mileage. dealer assured vehicle checked out ok. less than 2,000 miles later at 101,000 engine 'threw a rod' while being driven on neighborhood roads. hyundai refuses to cover reconditioned engine replacement. offered less than half of cost.
The car as i would describe it stalls randomly while driving under 40 mph, the engine doesn't shut off but i lose drive power and the rpm shoot up. the dealership has not been able to reproduce the issue and no engine lights come on when the problem happens. i fear this will end up causing me to get rear ended.
I haven't had many troubles with steering like others have however i have had problems where the car doesn't immediately go into gear. i can start the car and it takes up to a minute to go into gear and every once in awhile i have that problem when switching over neutral (ie. going from park or reverse to drive or vice versa) another problem i'm having troubles with is the electronics. when i go to back up the rear camera appears for 1 or 2 seconds then goes to the radio. its nearly an everyday thing. sometime the radio, discs, or media player will play music but will be silenced and i have to change the mode and switch it back before it will play. has nothing to do with the volume i have tried that. also recently my clock has started to reset every time i turn the car on. it resets to 11:10. everything except the clock has been happening for months and i cant get anything done unless i pay. which i refuse because it shouldn't be my problem.
I purchased my 2014 veloster turbo right off of the showroom floor. when i was driving home , 90 miles from the dealership, i noticed it was really hard to keep my car straight in the road. i physically have to force my car to stay straight on the straightest highways. i took it to the dealership the next day and it was found to be out of alignment . they aligned it, only to experience the same issue driving back home. i have now had my vehicle in to 3 different hyundai dealerships and have records of the adjustments. it is still not aligned making it very difficult to drive safely . at 5k miles we were driving on a road trip and had been driving all day. we were getting back on the interstate and my check engine light started flashing and my car started slowing down even though i was trying to accelerate . it cleared up and i drove a few more miles when it acted up again, this at 65 mph. same issues flashing lights, slowing from 65 to 30 as my car felt it was not getting any power. i was able to report it to my bluelink, although it did not show on their end. this has been checked several times by hyundai , although they are not able to detect or duplicate the issue. it continues to happen to me. i am to the point where i am frightened to drive it anymore. not only for my safety but for others as well. i have a total of 7 service records with no answers except , if it happens again come right in and hopefully the computer will tell us. the alignment was done 5 times and took in 6, although it is still all over the road. the answer i get for the alignment now is, " customer may also not be used to electronic steering system". i am a 43 year old man that has been driving for almost 30 years. i have another vehicle with electronic steering that drives straight on the same roads. thanks for your time... *tr
