My car stalls, lags and shuts off while driving and has a strong scent of exhaust and uses an awful amount of oil but there are no visible oil leaks. There are no check engine lights on. I have taken it to the muffler shop who states no exhaust leaks are found. My local gateway and mike morgan hyuandi says it throws no codes when put on the diagnostic machine so I cant find out the issue. From research I see this is a common issue with this model cars and I feel this should be looked into because it is a hazard especially when it kills in the midst of traffic.
