NHTSA Complaint #11625791 — 2017 HYUNDAI ACCENT

I had two different mechanics I trust tell me that this car has a particular engine that had an error in manufacturing, but Hyundai didn't correct it, because it would cost them too much. The error is heavy oil burning, such that it destroys the catalytic converter. I am now on my third catalytic converter in this car, and the check-engine light is beginning to flicker. Mechanic recommended contacting Hyundai corporate to file a complaint. He knows of others with this same engine, and dealers in New Hampshire have been able to get new engine replacements. I tried to call Hyundai corporate, but they refuse to take any information from me and tell me I would have to buy a new engine if I want to replace it. Mechanics have said that the cost would be heavy for Hyundai if they admitted the problem. But they must be aware of the problem, since they have replaced some engines for people who have the time and money to chase them around. The problem developed well before the 100,000 mile warrantee expired. The car is now over that limit, but the issue was first reported before that limit was reached.
