Some Hyundai Veloster owners report experiencing significant engine issues, including excessive oil consumption and failures to change gears, despite warranty attempts for resolution. Many owners have noted their engines burning oil rapidly, raising concerns about overall engine health and performance. Additionally, instances of the engine failing to change gears properly suggest potential transmission problems. Some owners have reported substantial oil loss over short distances, prompting warranty claims and, in some cases, extended warranties, such as for the 2016 Veloster, which could allow for a free engine replacement if approved. Oil consumption tests conducted at dealerships have revealed higher than normal oil usage per mile for some vehicles. Unfortunately, even after dealership interventions, some owners continue to face persistent engine issues. These ongoing problems have adversely affected Hyundai's reputation, leading to class action lawsuits and recalls due to the widespread nature of the issues across various models.
