Consumer Description

We have been told by our local Hyundai dealership that the car is burning oil and is unsafe to drive. The dealership recommended a full engine replacement and put in the request to Hyundai HQ who denied the request. The dealership then told us that we need to drive the car for at least 4,000 miles and bring the car in for 24hr - 48hr testing every 1,000 miles. This is our primary family car and we have been told by our own mechanic and the dealership service center that the car is not safe to drive and could be a fire risk. Yet, Hyundai HQ is insisting that we do this oil consumption test and risk our lives and the lives of our children.
