Description of the problem	I have a 2013 hyundai veloster turbo with a 1. 6 liter turbo engine that threw a rod thru the engine block. Hyundai issued recalls on the sonata and they have been replacing defective 1. 6 liter turbo engines for some velosters and not others that are having identical problems. They should have to recall all of them. I had a ticking sound for approximately one month and it sounded like a lifter tick. After doing a lot of online research everyone said to continue driving it because it was carbon build up on the intake valves . I am an ase master tech with over 40 years experience and i have never heard a rod make a ticking sound like this. There are lots of complaints on line concerning this issue and hyundai has not recognized them. Yes they do offer a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty to the original purchaser and only a 5 year 60,000 mile warranty to the second owner. I had to have the standard transmission replaced at approximately 28,000 miles by hyundai for a design flaw in the transmission case causing the seal to leak,but they will not do anything about the engine because i am the second owner. If i was the original owner they would replace it. I have changed my oil and filter every 3 to 4,000 miles and my car is pampered by me . When it threw the rod i was pulling from a stop sigh at less than 5 mph and less than 1,000 rpms and it died as i was turning onto the highway.
