2013 Hyundai Veloster

THE HEAD LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES, AND THE 'BRAIN' OF THE CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES (WITH A REFURBISHED ONES, (NOT NEW). I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MAKE AND YEAR OF MY CAR FOR THE SOFTWARE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT LISTED. MY CAR IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!!

I BOUGHT A 2013HYUNDAI VELOSTER IN APRIL OF 2019 WITH IN THE FIRST 2 DAYS OF HAVING CAR IT STOPPING ACCELERATING AN LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. I HAD TO CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT . AFTER THEM LOOKING IN TO THE PROBLEM THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 5 TO 6 MONTHS. THEN ONE DAY BAD ROUGH IDEL RPMS DROPPING WHEN UNDER ACCELERATION AFTER PUTTING ON CODE READER IT TURNED OUT TO BE A MISFIRE I THEN REPLACE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUGS. THE VELOSTER RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 MONTHS THIS TIME. NOW WE ARE BACK TO THE CAR HAVING ISSUES TODAY 7/11/20 LOSS OF POWER UNDER ACCELERATION,ROUGH IDEL,KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI IN THE PAST ON THE 2013 ECU RECALL THEY DID NOT WANT TO HONOR THERE RECALL SAYING IN ORDER TO LOOK IN TO THE PROBLEM I'D NEED TO GET IT DIAGNOSED THROUGH THE DEALER WHEN I CAN SIMPLY USE MY OWE CODE READER. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE I BOUGHT WITH ONLY 63000 MILES THIS IS FRUSTRATING IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR HYUNDAI TO HONOR THERE RECALL THANK YOU .

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

I BOUGHT MY CAR MAY 2016 IT HAD AN ODD SMELL ONCE I STARTED USING MY AC UNIT BUT COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IN AUGUST I LOST LEVEL 1 AND 2 ON MY BLOWER KNOB, AND IN OCTOBER 2018 I LOST ALL HEAT AND THE BLOWER KNOB NO LONGER WORKED. I OREDER AN OEM DASH CONTROL UNIT AND HAD A CO-WORKER INSTALL IT FOR ME. SEPT. 2019 I AGAIN LOST LEVEL 1 AND 2 OF THE FAN BLOWER. I CONTACTED THE SUPPLIER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY IF IT WAS INSTALLED AT A CERTIFIED SHOP AND ONLY IF I PUT ON 12K MILES AND UNDER 1 YEAR. I WASN'T ABLE TO USE MY WARRANTY DUE TO I HAD MY CO-WORKER IN STALL. FEB 14TH 2020 REMOTE STARTED MY CAR AS IT IS VERY COLD IN WI. WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR I THOUGHT IT WAS ON FIRE DUE TO THE SMELL INSIDE MY CAR. I SAW NO SMOKE OR FLAMES. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND THE SMELL WAS HORRIBLE I HAD TO CRACK THE WINDOW IT WAS SO STRONG AND DROVE IN THE SLOW LANE IN CASE MY CAR BURST IN TO FLAMES SO I COULD GET OUT. FEB. 16TH MY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC WAS OVERWHELMING AND THEN SUDDENLY I LOST TOTAL HEAT AND THE KNOB FOR THE BLOWER NO LONGER WORKED. FEB. 17TH I BOUGHT ANOTHER HEATER FROM THE SAME OEM ONLINE STORE. I BROUGHT IT TO WORK WHEN IT ARRIVED ON THE 20TH. THE SAME C-WORKER WENT TO INSTALL IT AND HE SAID HE WOULDN'T INSTALL IT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO DIE FROM MY CAR STARTING ON FIRE AS THE CABLE HARNESS CONNECTOR IS MELTED. I LAUNCHED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI THE SAME DAY. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD TO WAIT TO HEAR BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS DUE TO THE FIRE ISSUE/SAFETY CONCERN. I DID HEAR FROM ROBERTA FROM CORPORATE AND I WENT OVER THE DETAILS, SHE SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR TOWING AND CAR RENTAL. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND AM BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY $136 BECAUSE THEY NEED TO RULE OUT THAT IT'S NOT MY REMOTE STARTER CAUSING THE ISSUE THAT I HAD INSTALLED AT BEST BUY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THAT COMPONENT MELTING
