Consumer Description

After taking my vehicle for an oil change, I had to fill the engine with 1 1/2 quarts of oil less than a month after. I took a trip that was less than 1000 miles and had to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil. I took my vehicle into the dealership and explained the issue which turned out that there was a recall. They put me into a loaner because I refuse to drive a vehicle that could potentially cause harm to myself or my family. I then called Hyundai. The acknowledged the recall and provided me with a case number {18373693}. Was told someone would call me in 10 days. To date no one has called me. Was told I had a case manager which turned out to not be true. I am beyond livid! I'm paying for a vehicle I cannot even drive. Something needs to be done.
