NHTSA Complaint #11511230 — 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

Vehicle started flashing oil light during turns or bumps. The vehicle was not at mileage for oil change, but brought it in anyway. Turned out the oil was being burned at an access rate which was luckily caught before there was no oil in the vehicle. Vehicle is regularly maintained with documentation to prove. Followed protocols through hyundai by performing an oil consumption test and a combustion engine clean out. Hyundai service coordinator said my engine needs to be replaced but hyundai corporate declined the coverage. Even though many of these vehicles are having this exact same problem. He acknowledged this is a problem with their vehicles and stated they see at least 4 of these a day in their service shop. They told me that I did nothing wrong; that their engines are defective. The only thing he could do is help me price out a new engine. My Santa Fe sport was seen for this problem starting at 70,357miles. Previous oil change was at 66869.
