Okay, I'm going to try my best at explaining what I am experiencing. This is my second Hyundai Accent. The first car I had was a 2004 Accent. The second car I have now is a 2015. Both cars have the same exact problem. And I am not fixing it. This is definitely a manufacturing error. It's so dangerous too, because my engine could just blow up. Anywhoooo, both cars just burn oil like gas. I repeat, burn oil like gas. I need to check the oil every (at the most) 2 weeks because of how badly oil is just burning up. Also, there is a "check engine" code being thrown for something small in the evap system. Same cars, 11 years apart. Same problems!? I don't think that is right whatsoever. I have researched ongoing recalls & expired recalls. To my disappointment, I find nothing. This is a major issue. There is absolutely zero irony in 2 cars, being 11 years apart, newer one being a 6 speed manual, having the same issues exactly. I was so happy to get a newer one, thinking, "OH there can't be possibly anything wrong with this model". Wrong. Absolutely, positively no car should have to dump almost 5 quarts of oil in your car every 1000 miles or less. I constantly need to buy 1 or 2 quarts of oil biweekly for this 2015 Hyundai Accent. I can't just get rid of it, cars are expensive! this is absolutely the manufacturers problem. So I am going above their heads to get this taken care of. Monday, I want to try and call Hyundai, either the one near me, or some "hotline". This is unacceptable. My car will show that "low oil pressure" light and my heart just drops. "I just put oil in it!". I say to myself. Do not get me wrong. I love my car. I want my car taken care of. As, when I bought it, blaise alexander *apparently* didn't know about it. And they flat out lied about the check engine light! I've had numerous people look at it. They hardly have an answer. Its expensive and labor intensive. Please help me solve this problem. I am not the only one. -morgan buerk.

1 year after purchasing car, I had a check engine sensor show up. I took it in and a diagnostic test showed an O2 sensor needed to be replaced. I replaced it and the part was defective, so I took it back and they replaced it again, after which it appeared to be fine. Then less than 6 months later, it began to run poorly and would not accelerate properly and seemed to not be getting fuel or oxygen or something. I took it in again and ended up having a catalytic converter put it for over $500. It ran fine for maybe a month after and the check engine light comes on again, it was running poorly again, losing power almost stalling out when pushing accelerator, it smelled like burnt oil. I had oil checked and changed 3 times during the time this all was happening too because of the smell of burning oil. Each time the oil change was done the service technician said it appeared not o have been changed because it was black and burnt and low, which is not possible, due to how frequently I was having it checked and changed not knowing what else to do!!! ultimately, on my way to my parents house the engine blew and smoke poured out from under it and it would not run again and it appeared to be burning. Upon inspection there was a hole melted into the engine block!!!! I am so disappointed in this vehicles performance. I had the vehicle from 2017 to March of 2020, still owe money on it and cannot drive it or afford to get it fixed. This engine failure was not my fault or due to my failure to properly car for the car. This is a Hyundai issue and it is time someone be made aware that this happened to what could have been a life long consumer, but never again!!!!.
For more than two years I have been complaining to my DC-area Hyundai dealership that my car is burning or leaking oil but they failed to diagnose problem, apparently to avoid fixing it under the warranty. It is extremely dangerous for me to drive my vehicle but Hyundai will not honor its much hyped warranty and fix my car and even the district office insists that I keep driving it for its third and *unnecessary* oil consumption test. Previously my engine failed leaving me stranded in the utah desert following work on my car by two other Hyundai dealers to avoid fixing my car before its first warranty period expired. Hyundai lies about its warranty: it promises the world on tv ads and reneges in private.
