Description of the problem	My veloster was at 73k miles when its engine was blown up. While i was driving slowly on a fast-food parking lot, i heard a loud bang, and metal clang from the hood of my car. The car lost its power and there was smoking coming out from the hood as well. So, i went to pop the hood up. There was oil splashed on the engine. I had to get the car towed to hyundai dealer to see what was going on. I was told it was a blown engine issue. I can't believe that this happened to me. I had just bought the car for 2 months from a dealer. The dealer i bought from had the car inspected and verified that it was in excellent health, and everything. I had not installed any aftermarket parts or tweaked anything on this vehicle, besides replacing a new set of tires. I really hope that hyundai will provide a remedy for this type of issue since it was basically its production fault. I would have been in a much worse situation, had i been driving on the highway or high speed. Also, i am not the one with that hyundai had left a bad taste in the mouth with its engine failure.
