Consumer Description

This is the third time after 3 “repairs” that I have had my car at the dealer in less than a year. Car went into “limp” mode while driving down the highway causing car to stall and not go over 20 mph. First time they said it was a technical update needing done. Second time said low battery power causing issue so I purchased $300 battery from dealer and now showing cylinder 4 misfire and recommend replacing spark plugs and oil combustion testing due to having to add 3 quarts of oil every 230 miles due to excessive oil consumption. Dealer said this will not fix the issue however so why would I pay to have it done if it won’t fix the issue. Luckily these three incidents of engine power loss hasn’t caused me to have an accident but what If in 3 months and my engine loses power without warning for the 4th time in a year it dies cause an accident. I have a case open with Hyundai but am getting nowhere. I feel like a measly engine replacement would cost less than it will cost if this causes a major accident soon.
