In Dec of last year my cars dash lights started flashing no matter which gear I tried the gear would flash on the dash,when I called my extended warranty "car shield ",they recommended that I take it to a repair shop in nearby city and have a diagnostic test performed. I did so,in which after testing they said it was something on side of transmission and they weren't equipped to perform the repairs and needed to be taken to dealership instead. I picked up the vehicle and same issue was present of course, so I had it towed to a dealership and then was contacted by them that they could not do a diagnostic test until the battery was replaced because it was not starting, so I brought a battery and put it on in the place of my old one.I made sure that the vehicle was going to start before leaving and it did with no problem, so I turned it off and was contacted by the dealership saying that it was extensive damage, and car shield had to send out their own personal investigator and they refused to fix any issues and would not pay for diagnostic services or the $10,000 to cover the repairs due to unknown circumstances causing the fuse box next to battery to melt as well as damage to my wiring harness and the wiring harness for the alternator somehow. Now I have a vehicle that I paid for less than a year ago and a no good extended warranty paid for as well and a vehicle with less than 100000 miles that's useless.

I have issues with past recalls, but they are not showing up in this list. I had a Body Throttle recall and 5 minutes after it was fixed it broke down and then again a week after and a month after altogether until the body throttle had to be replaced. I had the knock sensor recall done and now it went off code P-1326 is showing with a check engine light and it only drives 62mph. I mean the engine is bad and may catch on fire, and need to be replaced. Yes, the dealer knows and is waiting for my car to be put on the engine replacement list, which has been over 4 months now. There is a lawsuit to change it but Hyundai is not doing it.

Car was taken to the dealership for two active recalls. The dealership began with 966 Engine Monitoring Logic Recall. An error code was received after the computer was updated during the Recall. The display panel now displays all gears as E, and now when the dealership drives it the car has a stall. The dealership states the transmission must be replaced. From my understanding it all is related to software. It is still with the dealership, Hyundai is refusing to cover this since the car is out of warranty. This defect is directly from the recall.

. When I bought it it had 98,000 km on it. Still under warranty and I had all the recalls from a few years ago done to bring it all up to date. I religiously changed the oil, rotated tires, fluids updated, new battery, etc. In 6 years I have put 8000km on the car since I bought it and while driving home from my daughters a few weeks ago it kept popping out of fourth gear? This happened the one time and no lights came on? Then last thursday I went to my daughters house to help out with the unpacking and on the drive home my car got stuck in 3rd gear! I couldn't get it out of third gear until I once popped the clutch and out it came. Shifting went back to normal, for a while then I could not get it to go into any gear! I am on my way home in rush our traffic and the car will not go into any gear but seems to be stuck in 5th or 6th gear? By reving up the engine to about 4000 and letting the clutch out slowly while reving it would slowly start going and eventually it would be going ok stuck in whatever gear but there were traffic lights!! I had to pull over once and had the police pull in behind me. When I explained to her what was happening she said she understood her brother had the same problem? I was finally able to get it home in the scariest ride ever (through 2 red lights and a stop sign) and it was smoking and stinking! Now I have a car with insurance ($1200 yr.) on it and 1.5 years left on the loan ($288.00) a month. 50% of my income goes to rent. I live cheque to cheque. My most important lifeline is my car and now I cannot afford to fix it and it won't drive. Is there not enough problems with this same thing on the same car and same year it should be a recall. 6,000km over the warranty and the transmission goes? I drove it 8000km in 6 years and the transmission goes? What kind of grace do you give on km over 100km warranties.

Hyundai/the federal safety agency 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.
