NHTSA Complaint #11487243 — 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA

The GDI 2.0L and 2.4L engines consume outrageous amounts of oil. Oil has to be added to the vehicle five times between Full Synthetic oil changes totaling almost $100 for just oil to refill the engine. For those who don’t check their oil level often, the dipstick will appear empty. That can lead to engine seizing, an overall decrease in power, and the breaking down of parts due to metal-on-metal impact. The engine also goes through several spark plugs at once. The amount of carbon deposit on the spark plugs is outrageous as well. The electrodes were completely burnt as if they had never been replaced since manufacturing.
