Engine started knocking at 117,xxx miles with oil changes less then 5,000 miles. Dealership acknowledged and confirmed that the rod bearings were bad. If requested could remove the rod bearings. Dealership and corporate Hyundai acknowledged the problem, but would not help cover any of the costs. The vehicle was also losing around 1 quart for every 1,000 miles which was not addressed by the dealer. This is a huge safety risk, if the bearing completely failed the vehicle would have stalled on the interstate. No check engine light is present or was present. The issues with the Veloster Turbo is well know and document from 2012-2017 regarding the failure of rod bearings prematurely. Other Kia and Hyundai vehicles have recalls for this same problem, unfortunately the Veloster does not.

Vehicle was in 5th gear when massive decelleration occured (55 mph to 20 mph).Engine started to stall out. Downshifted to 4th, 3rd, etc. Was able to pull over to breakdown lane. No warning lights in the months prior. Car seviced regularly. Had just passed state inspection two months prior (no codes in log), Hyundai dealer had addressed Campaign 966 a month prior (no codes in log), and then catastrophic failure of catalytic converter. Vehicle required tow to mechanic who stated "I've never seen anything like it. The cat was completely slagged out, like it must have been cherry red hot. Thank god it was freezing last night or the car could have caught fire." No CEL warnings at all on that night or any time prior. Believe this is directly tied to CAMP 966 ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC issue.

The first issue was the clutch. I was driving in charlotte, nc city traffic and the clutch stuck to the floor and made my car stall. I was able to pull it up with my foot and restart the car. I had no indication that the clutch was bad. It wasn't slipping at all and I had no difficulty shifting gears prior to this happening. The next issue was the engine. I was driving on the highway and it lost power. It wouldn"t accelerate properly. I took it to the dealer and they said the turbo went first and then metal from the turbo went into the engine and ruined the engine. They said the clutch needed replacing. The car doesn't even have 71,000 miles on it. I wouldn't expect an engine to be ruined at less than 71,000 miles. I was terrified being in traffic in this unsafe vehicle wondering if I was going to be hit. The entrance below asks for a specific date, here are the occurrences and dates: june 2019 clutch sticks to the floor and stalls in traffic several times. Take to aaa auto services as soon as it happens and they can find nothing wrong. Continues to happen approx. Once a week.

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.
