NHTSA Complaint #11414736 — 2016 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID

IN OCT..2020 MY SONATA WAS AT PEP-BOYS AUTO FOR A SYNTHETIC-OIL CHANGE. PEP-BOYS CALLED ME TO ADVISE CAN'T SERVICE THE CAR FOR THE OIL CHANGE. SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE 6K MILES AGO THEIR WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THEY SAW THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR WITH 2.0 ENGINE, THEY WANT NO RESPONSIBILITY AND SAID TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE DEALER & OPEN CASE THE ENGINE HAS A SERIOUS FLAW, IT BURNS THE OIL WITH THE GASOLINE. THEY SAID A RECALL? DOCUMENTS ATTACHED. I WENT TOTEXAN HYUNDAI, PUT MY CAR THROUGH A SERIES OF TESTS EVERY 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE CAN BE REPLACED YOU IN THE 10 YRS, HOWEVER YOU OVER THE 100K MILES,WILL NOT B COVERED, A HYUNDAI MOTORS WOULD COVER 50% . WAS TOLD ENGINES LAST 250-300K MILES. I SPENT OVER 2K FOR EXT. WARRANTY. IT RAN OUT AT 100K. HYUNDAI HAS NOT BACKED UP THEIR CAR. SONATA HYBRID WAS SOLD TO ME BEING DEPENDABLE & LASTING YEARS. IT FAILED TERRIBLY, I MAINTAINED MY CAR ALWAYS AND NOW NEED NHTSA PLEASE HELP. ON HYUNDAI FORUMS MANY2.0 HAVE SAME SITUATION WITH OIL DISAPPEARING. I PREPAID ON CREDIT CARD $3531.00, TEXAN HYUNDAI PLACED ORDER FOR A NEW ENGINE. BACK ORDERED. DATE TO FIX WILL BE IN DURING THE MONTH OF JULY2021. ALL MILES R HIGHWAY TO AND FROM, KATY TO BRENHAM COLLEGE HAS NO HILLS ALL STRAIGHT RUN SINCE DAY BOUGHT. THESE ENGINES SHOULD LAST, THERE IS A FAILURE IN DESIGN? NOT DEPENDABLE CAR. VERY DEFECTIVE 2.0 ENGINE. LAST 2 YR'S I WOULD SMELL BURNING OIL IN MY CAR, I WOULD OPEN THE WINDOW SINCE NO LIGHTS ON DASH. NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, NO DASH LIGHT? PEP-BOYS SAID THOSE LIGHTS NEVER WERE LIT ON THE DEFECTIVE CARS. IF LIGHT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. MY RECORDS WHICH SHOW THIS CAR WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. HYUNDAI SHOULD FIX 2.0 ENGINES, FOLKS LIKE ME ARE IN A HARD SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY SITUATION.
