Consumer Description

The engine is burning over 5 quarts of oil between 600 and 1000 miles. The engine is the 2.4 litre and it is doing the same as the 2014 and previous model. It is also known that the 2016 has the same issue. Hyundai refuses to replace the motor or cover any cost. They are saying that the car is out of warranty when it has been in the shop for oil consumption pre-mileage but they said it was normal to be a quart or 2 low. Now the motor will be empty by 600 to 1000 miles. The dealers wants to put chemicals in the motor at a cost of 200 plus with now promise of resolving the issue. In addition it has been proven that these quick fixes are catastrophic and will cost more than an engine maybe a life in traffic.
