ENGINE MAKING A PINGING & TAPPING SOUND UPON ACCELERATION & A REGULAR BURNT OIL ODOR ENGULFING THE INTERIOR CABIN OF VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. IT IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL BETWEEN 3,000 MILE OIL CHANGES.

HYUNDAI INSTALLED FAULTY OIL FEED PIPE TO THE TURBO IN HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 2.0T, THE PIPE LEAKS AND RESULTS IN LOW OIL IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSES ENGINE FAILURE. I SAW THE OIL LEAKS ON THE PARKING SPOT. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE PIPE WAS AT FAULT, MY ENGINE OIL WAS AT CRITICAL LEVEL, PROVIDED THAT I HAD IT CHANGED ABOUT 1000 MILES.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER UNDER CAMPAIGN NOTICE 15V-568. TO DATE, NO WORD FROM DEALER REGARDING NECESSARY, CALLED FOR INSPECTION.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE ENGINE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED THE ENGINE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART (ENGINE). THEY SAID THE CAR DOESN'T MET THE REQUIREMENT FOR FIX OR REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, THEY INCREASED THE OIL AMOUNT FROM 4.5 QUARTS TO 5.5 AND CHANGE THE OIL DIP STICK WITHOUT EXPLANATION WHEN I ASKED WHY.

PLEASE HELP OR ADVISE!

I HAVE A 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA. MY ENGINE IS REALLY LOUD WHEN STARTING AND WHEN IDLING. WHEN I START MY CAR FROM THE REMOTE START SOMETIMES IT WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF AFTER 2 MINS AND WILL CUT BACK ON AND CUT OFF AGAIN. THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINE WAS MADE AWARE IN SEPTEMBER 2015 IT'S NOW JANUARY 2016, I KNOW MY ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED AND THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. EVERY TIME I GET A REGULAR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE I'M TOLD THAT THE OIL IS VERY CHUNKY AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DISTRIBUTING THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. IT'S TAKING THE MANUFACTURER WAY TOO LONG TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS RECALL WITH THE ENGINE IS VERY SERIOUS AND I DON'T WANT TO BE INJURED OR DIE FROM THIS RECALL AND WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THINGS TOGETHER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A CHILD AND I'M...
