Crankcase (pcv) Problems of Hyundai Palisade

I am reporting severe and recurring oil consumption in my 2020 Hyundai Palisade that could cause engine damage, engine seizure, stalling, or a sudden loss of power while driving. On April 14, 2026, at approximately 89,950 miles, an authorized Hyundai dealership documented that the engine had consumed approximately 1. 3 quarts of oil in only 1,275 miles, equivalent to approximately one quart every 982 miles. The vehicle failed Hyundai’s initial oil-consumption test. Hyundai then authorized a combustion-chamber cleaning. On may 12, 2026, at 91,087 miles, the dealership completed the follow-up test and stated that the vehicle passed at that time. On September 14, 2026, at 95,512 miles, I returned to the dealership because the engine again had no measurable oil remaining. Only 4,425 miles had elapsed since the may oil change. The dealership’s repair order states that the vehicle “has no oil again. ” I also reported that the vehicle had begun stuttering and rattling when pressing the brake and coming to a stop, creating concern that the engine may already have sustained damage from insufficient lubrication. The dealership initiated another oil-consumption test and instructed me to return after 1,000 miles. However, the earlier combustion-chamber cleaning did not correct the underlying problem. I am concerned that the vehicle may again consume its oil without adequate warning and could stall, seize, or lose power while being driven, placing the occupants and other motorists at risk. Hyundai should investigate the cause of the recurring oil loss and determine whether 2020 Hyundai Palisade vehicles have defective piston rings, cylinders, valve components, pcv systems, or other engine components causing excessive oil consumption. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this potentially dangerous engine defect.
