Consumer Description

I purchased my car used in December 2021 it is a 2016 with 97k miles. 2 weeks after I purchased the car I called to set up service because my cars engine was making horrible sounds. with me putting less than 900 miles on the car (it took 2 weeks to get it in for service) I had a in near perfect condition car with a blown engine. The car still runs and drives fine but it is using almost a qt of oil a week. The dealer is Autonation Hyundai of North Richland Hills, Tx knows the history that these engines are junk. But rather than be stuck with this issue they told me my valve covers were leaking and that was my issue. Keep in mind I have no oil leaking from anywhere and not a drop is on my car or on the ground. This car has an oil consumption problem along with thousands of other Hyundais and neither Autonation or Hyundai are willing to do anything about it because I am the second owner even though I bought the car in this condition from the dealer. The engine is failing because it is consuming oil. The engine is making noises and could at any time while driving could lock up and cause a dangerous situation on the roadways. This is a very well known issue and even a current class action lawsuit. The dealer is refusing to inspect the vehicle because I am the second owner and have no warranty. The only sign is low oil. The car is using oil at a rapid pace and I have to check and add oil weekly. This is a 5 year old car with 100k mikes on it.
