Consumer Description

This unresolved issue has created serious safety risks. On two separate occasions, my vehicle lost power while crossing the Leo Frigo Bridge in Green Bay—an extremely dangerous scenario for both my family and other drivers. Most recently, within just ~40 miles of picking up the vehicle from service, the issue recurred. The service department reported finding oil on the ignition coils—symptoms consistent with known and documented warranty concerns such as: Valve cover gasket leaks Spark plug tube seal failure High-pressure fuel pump gasket leaks The vehicle has been brought multiple times to a certified Hyundai dealership for recurring problems including power loss, poor engine performance, and excessive oil consumption. Despite these repeated service visits, the underlying issue has not been properly addressed. I have now been informed that I am responsible for diagnostic charges—even though the vehicle is covered under the TXXM Engine Warranty Extension / Powertrain Limited Warranty due to known oil consumption-related defects.
