Consumer Description

My 2016 Sonata, has 111,500 miles on it and burns excessive oil (4+ quarts every 1500 miles). I have taken it to a local mechanic who has seen this issue with similiar Sonata's. He believes the engine needs to be replaced. I have opened a matter with Hyundai Customer Care (that got me absolutely no where). I have to wait two weeks to get it into my dealership, meanwhile I am afraid to drive it out of safety concerns. I see similiar posts here and see Hyundai doing nothing to take care of its customers.
