Consumer Description

MY ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND CONSUMING OIL. IT WORSENS WITH INCREASED RPM. SOMETHING SOUNDS WRONG IN THE ENGINE AND IT HAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION RATE YET THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAK UNDER VEHICLE. THE DEALER DOES ALL SERVICE, ITS UNDER WARRANTY AND YET THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AND PUT MY SAFETY AT RISK EITHER FROM A CRASH OR BEING STRANDED IN A DESERTED AREA.....ALSO HYUNDAI CHARGED ME LAST YEAR TO REPLACE A COUPLING IN THE STEERING WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND YET THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS COUPLING. BENTLEY HYUNDAI OF HUNTSVILLE, AL. THEY KEEP CHARGING ME MONEY FOR REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.....PLEASE HELP!
