Description of the problem	To make a very long story short, i was driving to work and my car suddenly exploded and oil spewed out towards the rear. I had to get my engine replaced in late 2017 due to the engine throwing a rod. It took 3 months to repair because the dealership was behind due to other people having engine malfunctions. It took weeks to get a rental which was hectic because me and my husband both worked and commuted with a 2-year old. After my husband drove my car off the lot, my car was sounding a little funny, almost like a sucking nose that we ended up having to take back to the dealership to have them tell me that i needed to pay a diagnostic charge even though my car was well under warranty limit. I ended up speaking with the manager and he had the technician look at it to only be told it was nothing engine related even though my engine light was on! A few months after that, my car started losing power and was inoperable. I had it towed to the same dealership only to be told that i needed another engine replacement! The dealership told me that i would be responsible to pay since they already took care of it the first time. The cost to repair would have been over what the value of my car is. Me and my husband had to leave my car at the dealership since it was not drive-able and they ended up selling the vehicle at auction for $1700 in february 2019. I recently just found out that my car is under recall for the same reasons it was in the shop the first 3 times. Hyundai concludes that the 2013 veloster were having engine and mechanical issues. I have a recall number and have spoke to 3 different departments to see what i can do to resolve the balance i have left to pay on the car of $8710. I knew there must have been an issue since the last few times i
