Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata

This vehicle and model have a defective engine; I have made several attempts since I purchased this vehicle from the dealership to have this issue corrected, and nothing has been done. This is a very common issue with this particular engine, and it is a well-known problem; there are several class action suits regarding this engine, and the manufacturers still have no resolution for it. The vehicle requires constant new oil in between oil changes and has been like that since new. The engine burns oil, and it is not going anywhere, nooen seems to know.

I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue affecting my 2016 Hyundai Sonata 4 door sedan, that warrants investigation and public awareness. Hyundai cars are currently plagued by engine oil consumption problems that ultimately lead to engine failure, due to there being no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. This is a concerning issue that remains largely unknown to most customers. When these issues arise, car owners such as myself, are often left with uncooperative dealerships that either deny the problem or offer minimal assistance. Even Hyundai corporate and extended warranties fail to provide adequate support, frequently citing owner negligence as a reason for denial. This occurs despite the fact that engine sludge buildup is inevitable, even with consistent car maintenance. Furthermore, I am forced to endure long waiting times for my 2016 Hyundai Sonata 4 door sedan, that has been inspected and, then denied for an engine replacement, and face additional months of delay for them to explain why. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of loaner vehicles and no assurance of rental reimbursement. This leaves countless individuals burdened with repair payments for stranded vehicles. My personal experience has been with ourisman Hyundai, and many others have voiced similar grievances. Numerous complaints have been filed with the better business bureau (bbb) and the national highway traffic safety administration (nhsta), yet little action has been taken to aid the thousands of people who are experiencing the same problems to rectify this issue. It is imperative that attention is drawn to this matter as Hyundai's approach to selling cars with hidden engine issues puts customers at safety risk and places them in dire and deadly harm. I implore all news media outlets to conduct an investigation into these concerns and help shed light on a situation that demands immediate attention.

Started oil consumption testing in Aug 2021 through Hyundai due to the vehicle taking in at least 1. 5 qts of oil every 1,000 miles. After multiple tests, Hyundai completed a combustion cleaning in Jan 2022. No changes. After an additional oil consumption test in March 2022, Hyundai has advised this is normal consumption. No action to be taken from dealer/corp until engine blows a rod. Manufacturer &/or dealer prefers for my family to suffer a dangerous and potentially catastrophic event before addressing what is to be a known issue with this year/make/model.

I went to start my car on may 3, 2021 to go home and my car was sputtering and the check engine light was on. The dealership can't get to my car for 2 weeks. My car burns oil and doesn't make it from oil changes. I have had my spark plugs replaced when it did this the last time.

I am starting to have issues with my car burning oil with no leaks. I haven't even been a month (1,000) miles and my car literally had no oil. I only have 60,000 mile on the car. The engine at times has shook with the check engine light one but I had turned off the car and started it back up and it stopped. It only happens on occasion but now I'm burning and after reading these comments I see it is an overall issue with multiple cars. A recall should be put in effect as it's the same issue.

My coil packs keep going out. I just changed them in August now here it is November and my check engine light is back on and my car is jerking. My car is burning through oil like crazy. I can get my oil changed and in about 500 miles the oil change light is back on. I do not have an oil leak so I don't know where my oil is going.

My engin is burning oil it smokes I had it checked for leaks by a mechanic shop and no leaka are found I waa informed that is a known problem with Hyundai and it will eventually need to be replaced.

In oct. . 2020 my Sonata was at pep-boys auto for a synthetic-oil change. Pep-boys called me to advise can't service the car for the oil change.

They saw this several times in the last year with 2. 0 engine, they want no responsibility and said take your car to the dealer & open case the engine has a serious flaw, it burns the oil with the gasoline. They said a recall? documents attached. I went totexan Hyundai, put my car through a series of tests every 1000 miles. I was told the engine can be replaced you in the 10 yrs, however you over the 100k miles,will not b covered, a Hyundai motors would cover 50% . Was told engines last 250-300k miles. I spent over 2k for ext. Warranty. It ran out at 100k. Hyundai has not backed up their car. Sonata hybrid was sold to me being dependable & lasting years. It failed terribly, I maintained my car always and now need NHTSA please help. On Hyundai forums many2. 0 have same situation with oil disappearing.

All miles r highway to and from, katy to brenham college has no hills all straight run since day bought. These engines should last, there is a failure in design? not dependable car. Very defective 2. 0 engine. Last 2 yr's I would smell burning oil in my car, I would open the window since no lights on dash. No oil in the engine, no dash light? pep-boys said those lights never were lit on the defective cars. If light would have taken to the dealer for service. My records which show this car was properly maintained. Hyundai should fix 2. 0 engines, folks like me are in a hard situation. Thank you for hearing my situation.

It initially started around a couple of months ago. I was driving and my oil light came on. I took it to the dealership thinking it was not topped off correctly since the last oil change 2,700 miles prior to the light turning on. The dealership says "there was no oil on the dipstick. " performed an oil consumption test. The most recent report showed that my "oil was 3 quarts low". The dealer advised me to trade the car in since I do not have the warranty on my car anymore to fix it. I just bought the car last April. I have maintained the car with it's recommended services and use full synthetic oil. I drive a lot of highway miles, but I take care of my car since it is an investment.
