Consumer Description
I am writing to report a serious issue with my 2017 Hyundai Tucson SEL 2.0 that poses potential safety risks. The vehicle is consuming more than 4 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles, which is far beyond normal and acceptable levels. The car has approximately 166,000 miles on it and has been regularly maintained, including timely oil changes. Despite proper maintenance, this excessive oil consumption leads to frequent low-oil warnings, risking sudden engine failure if not continuously monitored. This creates an unsafe driving condition, particularly on highways or during long trips, as the engine could seize without warning. Additionally, I am aware that many other owners of Hyundai vehicles with similar engines have reported comparable issues. This suggests a widespread defect in the engine design or manufacturing process. I am requesting the NHTSA to investigate this matter further to determine if a recall, warranty extension, or other corrective action is necessary to address this issue. Hyundai should be held accountable for resolving this problem, especially since it compromises the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Vehicle Information: Year: 2017 Make: Hyundai Model: Tucson SEL Engine: 2.0L VIN: [Your Vehicle Identification Number here] Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a prompt investigation and resolution to ensure the safety of all Hyundai Tucson owners.
