Consumer Description

This vehicle is consuming large amounts of oil. Up to 3 quarts and 1,000 miles causing the oil light to come on. Hyundai did an oil consumption test with failing results. Due to this they did a deep combustion chamber cleaning. The car still continues to burn excessive amounts of oil. I am told that this does not qualify for the class action lawsuit because it is piston related and not rod bearing related. There is a burning smell coming from the vehicle that does not smell like burning oil. I am highly concerned that the vehicle is going to catch on fire yet Hyundai refuses to do anything about it.
