Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR LOT. I KEEP ALL MAINTENANCE UP ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I WORK AS A LUBE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST RATE. NOT EVEN 2000 MILES INTO MY MAINTENANCE INTERVAL THE ENGINE IS DRY. THE OIL LAMP TURNS ON. THERE IS NO LEAKS FROM THE ENGINE. I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE A PROBLEM TO FIX AND I KNEW IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I JUST BASICALLY CHANGED MY OIL MORE OFTEN. I WAS DRIVING IT FROM WORK AND THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND IT STARTED STUTTERING REAL BAD. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME A CYLINDER IS BLOWN AND IT COULD POSSIBLY NEED A NEW ENGINE. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS!! AND I'M DEALING WITH HAVING TO REPLACE AND ENGINE ON A 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA I HAVE KEPT VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS CAR HAS ONLY TRAVELED IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN YORBA LINDA CALIFORNIA. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN SHOP NOT EVEN TOUCHED YET BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS POSSIBLE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE.
