NHTSA Complaint #11535644 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The Hyundai Tucson 2017 we own experienced excessive oil burning, due to what appears to be a known Hyundai Engine failure which can cause the bearings to fail. My Hyundai Tucson appears to need new bearings which requires a full engine replacement based on how this car is made. This particular model does not have a recall on it however several other Hyundai models do for the very same known issue. This engine could have seized while driving at higher speeds on the freeway making this a serious safety matter. There does not appear to be a clear indicator of this excessive oil burning.The car was not leaking oil, was not smoking, but for some reason it was burning all oil between oil changes ( 3,000 miles). This 2017 engine should be able to go 5k miles between oil changes, however that was not the case. From reading various posts from other Hyundai Tucson owners, this issue is impacting more drivers than might be realized. The safety concern this kind of failure poses needs to be reviewed and someone needs to have Hyundai do the right thing and issue the recall for repair this known engine failure. People shouldn't have to lose their lives to get the right safety attention on this issue.
