NHTSA Complaint #11523855 — 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

Changed the oil in my 2017 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport in Dec of 2022. Two months later my check engine light came on. I took it in for service and found out I was completely out of oil. Three months later I ran into the same issue and received another oil change. I contacted Hyundai who told me there was nothing they can do and no explanation for the burning of oil. Please note that I work from home so vehicle usage was and has not been a concern. 6 weeks after my second oil change in five months, my oil was once again below the L level almost non-visible. Went back to Hyundai and was told once more that there was nothing they can do and to potentially consider getting a new vehicle. They wanted me to pay out of pocket for a fuel consumption test that I’ve technically been running myself already for the last 6 months. Three oil changes and a top off. There is clearly an issue and I am fearful for my safety and others while driving my vehicle on the highways and streets. As we are transitioning back to the office in a couple of weeks I am in need of reliable transportation.
