Consumer Description

My 2015 Sonata has been going through at least a quart to a quart and a half of oil every thousand miles. I researched this and found out that the 2015 sonatas have a very common problem where the engine needs to be replaced. There was huge class action suit against Hyundai and I'm worried that this is going to lead to bigger problems for me. I have gone to the dealer for 5 times and they keep telling me I'm not burning enough oil to justify the engine replacement but I'm not comfortable with their report.
