Description of the problem	I purchased my 2013 hyundai veloster in fall of 2015 as second owner from world hyundai in matteson, il. It had roughly 32,000 on the odometer. After two decent years of relatively trouble free ownership the "electrical gremlins" attacked the trunk release, then the reverse camera, then the climate control knob. I was reluctant to take the car in again because i had spent more money on diagnostic charges than i had on items that were covered. I liked the vehicle and meticulously maintained it to spec as well. On one of the coldest days in winter of 2019, i went out to start up my veloster and was terrified by a loud metal ticking followed by rattling in the motor. I immediately shut down the car. I waited a bit then tried to start it again. It was very bad. I took the car to the closest hyundai dealership in which i described all the issues with the car. At this point the vehicle has roughly 92000 miles on the odometer and of course the tell me there is nothing they can do but, replace the motor for around $4500 , sell me a new one, or buy it in trade. Once again i paid over $430 in diagnostic fees with no coverage or help. Looked around on line and found that these vehicles has had all of the above issues and no clear solutions to any. I've also noticed that all of the issues i have had with my vehicle many others have posted on youtube, google etc., but not many have filed official complaint. Come on people! Get on board!
