Steering column clicking because of worn steering wheel coupler. This could cause steering wheel to lock. Hyundai had agreed to cover the Elantra and sonata for up to 10 years but not other models. This is same problem for other models. They should fix as steering column could be harmed and accidents could occur.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while her husband was driving approximately 20-25 mph, he heard an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle started to shake with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated her husband was able to pull to the side of the road, where he noticed that smoke was coming from under the hood. Additionally, there was oil leaking from the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that there was a large hole in the cylinder block. The fire was started due to a mixture of fuel and oil. The contact was informed by the mechanic that the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 19V204000 (Electrical System, Engine) however, the recall repair was already completed on the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the failure was not related to the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that she was responsible for the cost of repair since the vehicle was out of warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 69,204.

Electrical issues & engine issues. 2013 Hyundai Veloster. - purchased brand new and September 2013. CENTEREACH HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. Since day one I’ve had many issues. So I’m having multiple repairs and replacement of AC /Heat blower,switches, Resistors,-Blower head unit, radio,Control head ( Internally shorting.Recall #948 ( canister cracked).report to dealer sells of exhaust coming in car.

This time driver side window goes down by itself and will not stay up, I have to manually open passenger side door lock and once again the blower does not work. Lights on my dash all lit oil light had been flickering, tire pressure light stays on and airbag light is lit. Just recently I have been driving in the car and had thought in the middle of driving that the transmission had went the car mediately pulled back and did not move I was lucky enough to have guided it over to the side of the road. NHTSA # 19V204000 ( Hyundai recall #182) 2013 Hyundai Veloster - although it states four”TURBO ENGINE” only I am having the same exact problems. Let’s not wait until the engine goes on fire or causes a serious accident ! I am more than concerned and worried about this for I have no other transportation. I have contacted Hyundai customer care service. Both emailed and called. Hyundai Consumer Affairs

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated after getting an oil change, two days later the air bag warning light was illuminated on the control panel.

I have had to replace the turbo and radiator. I have replaced the coil packs and spark plugs 3 times since I received the car and now the transmission is acting up. I bought the car Dec 2020 and it has left me stranded on the side of the road 4 times already from the engine malfunctioning.

Ac control knob, electrical wiring started smoking and would have caught fire if i had not turned off ac the cat could have possibly caught fire, not yet it is scheduled to be inspected 06/19/2021, no warning signals were presented the ac would only blow on lower settings at the onset of thw problem. The problem first appeared on 6/16/2021.

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.

Replaced the manual climate control on my 2013 hyundai veloster. The connector to the unit is melted.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Veloster. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle and became aware that the intake manifold was fractured into two pieces. The vehicle was driven to the residence.

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.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DON'T WORK AT ALL, AND CLICKING SOUND COME FROM THE FRONT WHEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT, THAT'S SOUND IS CONSTANTLY ALL TIME, I SEE A LOT OF POST AND SAME CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI DON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS, I SEND THE CAR TO REPLACE THE CV AXLES AND SAME PROBLEM SOUND.

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, USED FROM CARMAX, THE LIGHTING ON THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED TURNING ON AND WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND WHILE TURNING. . IT NO LONGER COMES ON AT ALL AND NONE OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS WORK ANYMORE EITHER, NOR DOES MY HORN.

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MAIN HARNESS WHERE CLIPS IN IS BURNT AN IS MELTING MY SWITCH OUT AFTER BEING CHANGED AN USED FOR FEW HOURS IT THEN BURNS OUT. THE CAR SMELLS LIKE IT'S MELTING THREW THE VENT OF PLASTIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V204000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER HYUNDAI ALBUQUERQUE (9820 COORS BLVD NW, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87114) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ENGINE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,379.

MY AIRBAG WARNS LIGHT CAME ON

ENGINE KNOCKING . USING A LOT OF OIL BUT NOT LEAKING

VEHICLE HESITANT TO PUT POWER, STALLS, LOOSING POWER WHEN PRESING GAS AND CHECK ENGINE COMES ON, CODE FOR MISFIRE. CHANGED PLUGS AND COILS STILL DOES THE SAME ISSUE LIKE THE ONE FOR THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V204000 BUT MY VIN IS NOT UNDER THE LIST!

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 I

THE ENGINE RODS ARE KNOCKING, EVEN THOUGH I'VE KEPT OIL IN THE CAR. AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE ENGINE OIL ALWAYS HAS TO BE FILLED AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS EVENTHOUGH THERE IS NO OIL LEAKS. NOW THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE SAME THING FOR THIS CAR JUST NOT ON MINE SPECIFICALLY. NOTICED IT TODAY WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND HEARD THE KNOCKING NOISE. THIS CAR COMPANY HAS A HISTORY OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON MULTIPLE CARS

MY SECOND HVAC CONTROL UNIT HAS MELTED. THE PLUG IS BURNT. THUS IS A RIDICULOUSLY NORMAL ISSUE, YOU KNOW WHEN IT FAIL BECAUSE YOU SMELL THE BURNING PLASTIC BEFORE THE HEAT SHUTS OFF.

HET LEAKING OIL TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD , CAN CAUSE FIREEAD GASK

IVE REPLACED THE ENGINE THREE TIME DUE TO FAILURE. THE FAILURE OF THE GDI MOTORS IS IMMINENT. ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, THE CLIMATE CONTROL KNOB HEATS UP AND BURNS OUT THE METAL STRIP BEHIND THE KNOB WHICH CAUSES THE KNOB TO EVENTUALLY BECOME USELESS.

FAN SPEEDS FOR HEAT AND A/C NO LONGER WORK WHEN THE DIAL IS PLACED ON THE NUMBER FOR THE SPEED OF THE FAN. TO GET SPEED #2 TO BLOW, THE DIAL IS ACTUALLY SOMEWHERE AROUND POSITION 2.5. TO GET SPEED #3 TO BLOW, THE DIAL NEEDS TO BE AT ABOUT 3.5, WILL NOT WORK WITH DIAL PLACED ON THE NUMBER 3 LIKE IT SHOULD. SAME ISSUE WITH FAN SPEED #4. AFTER REMOVING DASH PANELS TO INSPECT, WIRES AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE GETTING SO HOT TO THE POINT THAT THEY MELT. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.

BRAKES LOSE OF BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN BUMPS ARE HIT. REAPPLY BRAKES TO REGAIN PRESSURE ENGINE BURNING OIL ISSUES AND OVERHEATING ISSUES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MY 1.6 L HAVING ENGINE FAILURE AND IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AS THE 2.0'S AND UP ARE. BEING THAT THEY ARE THE SAME MOTOR OTHER THAN THE SIZE OF PISTONS AND TURBO CONFUSES ME

SMELLED A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL AND LATER REALIZED THAT SETTING #4 ON HVAC FAN NO LONGER WORKED. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME.

ENGINE FAILURE AT LOW LOAD, 84K MILES. PROBABLY RELATED TO PREVIOUS RECALL WHICH DIDN'T FIX IT

THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOSE WITH LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN TURN ON WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE CLICKING LOSE STEERING HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR DRIVING. CRUISE CONTROL STOCKS WHEN DRIVING. THIS STARTED 3 YEARS AGO. STOPPED USING CRUISE CONTROL. TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI FOR BOTH. CLICKING/LOOSE STEERING IS A FAULTY PART THAT IS KNOW BY HYUNDAI AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVETAL OTHER HYUNDAI. BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE VELOSTER

ENGINE BLEW WITH 116K I BARELY DROVE THIS CAR ABOUT 6 MINUTE DAILY

MOST OF NOT ALL OWNERS OF HYUNDAI/KIA VEHICLES EXPERIENCE A SHORT IN THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT. THIS FAULT NOT ONLY CREATES A VISIBILITY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN ADVERSE WEATHER. BUT MAY ALSO CAUSE SPARK FIRE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL KNOB.

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.

THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND DRIVE WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR TURNS COMPLETELY OFF.

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 LAT

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.

WHEN STOPPIBG OR COMING TO FULL COMPLETE STOP CAR SEEMS TO FEEL LIKE IT IS GOIBG TO STALL OUT AND KIND OF SHIMMERY AND SHAKES A LITTLE RIGHT BEFORE STOPPING ALSO WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP IT ALOT OF THE TIME FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT AS WELL. THERE IS ALOT OF ENGINE NOISE AS WELL THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS A GOOD THING.

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!!!

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.

THE AC CONTROLLER QUIT WORKING SO I LOOKED AND THE WIRES HAD BURNED BEHIND THE DASH ALSO MELTED THE SWITCH SEEN ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THISCAR

MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STREERING COUPLING REPLACEMENT AT 50 THOUSAND MILES, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAIS AND VELOSTER IS NOT COVERED. CLUNKING SOUND IN THE WHEEL AND LOOSE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FLEW UNDER MY CAR AND SUDDENLY STARTED SMOKING AND A FLAME CAME OUT. THERE WAS LOUD BANGING UNDER THE HOOD: LIKE A BOOM. WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED AND IT CAUGHT SPARKS. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PHOTOS SINCE THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A FLEXIBLE RUBBER COUPLING WHICH MAY WEAR OVER TIME RESULTING IN A SLIGHT 'CLICKING' OR 'THUD' TYPE NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TOGETHER WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF DEAD PLAY MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. THERE'S A RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HYUNDAI USA FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR OTHER MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR THIS ONE.

TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT, I HAD TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED IN LATE 2017 DUE TO THE ENGINE THROWING A ROD. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS BEHIND DUE TO OTHER PEOPLE HAVING ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER MY HUSBAND DROVE MY CAR OFF THE LOT, MY CAR WAS SOUNDING A LITTLE FUNNY, ALMOST LIKE A SUCKING NOSE THAT WE ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS WELL UNDER WARRANTY LIMIT. I ENDED UP SPEAKING WITH THE MANAGER AND HE HAD THE TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT TO ONLY BE TOLD IT WAS NOTHING ENGINE RELATED EVEN THOUGH MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON! A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT, MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND WAS INOPERABLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER ENGINE REPLACEMENT DUE TO LOW PRESSURE IN ONE CYLINDER! THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY SINCE THEY ALREADY TOOK CARE OF IT THE FIRST TIME. WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THROUGH OUR ADVISOR AT THE SERVICE CENTER DEALERSHIP THAT SHE HAS AN EMAIL STATING THAT FAULTY PARTS WERE USED DURING THE FIRST ENGINE 'REPAIR'. ME AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS NOT DRIVE-ABLE AND THEY ENDED UP SELLING THE VEHICLE AT AUCTION FOR $1700 IN FEBRUARY 2019. DURING THE SAME MONTH A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A RECALL NUMBER AND HAVE SPOKE TO 3 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THE BALANCE I HAVE LEFT TO PAY ON THE CAR OF $8710.

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE IN MOTION AND CLICKING WHEN IS STATIONARY WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN THE WHEEL
