Engine Burning Oil Problems of Hyundai Sonata - part 2

While driving on TX 1604 highway doing 70 mph my Sonata jolted and lost acceleration and the engine light came on. I attempted to accelerate by putting my foot all the way down on the gas peddle, but my car did not accelerate. I had to put my emergency lights on and exit the highway to avoid being rear ended by other vehicles that maintained speed. This same scenario has occurred on 5 different occassions. Hyundai dealership(s) have given multiple diagnosis and currently doing oil consumption tests. Two of three oil consumption tests confirm that at 1,000 miles my vehicle uses 2 quarts of oil. I have been fortunate to exit the highway safely and not have an accident. My vehicle is at dealer again and waiting to hear further information on what steps the dealer will take to fix issue and safety concerns. I have all dealership documents as evidence. This issue has been ongoing since sept 2019 and it is now Feb 2020. I also have written Hyundai corporate and received a claim #, but they stated they could not help me since the vehicle is not with them to check and they trust their highly trained mechanics to resolve my issues.

Feb 2020 check engine light flickered on and off. Oil change was not due at that time. I stopped off at a local oil shop, they topped off the oil. Then made an appt with Hyundai repair shop. Since February I have completed multiple oil consumption trials. When those failed Hyundai recommended a compression/leakage test on all 4 cylinders. According to Hyundai the car did not meet criteria for passing, but didn't fail either. 1 cylinder failed the leakage test. Hyundai recommended fuel system service with foam cleaner at my cost ($300-400). I redid oil consumption trial, my car started consuming more and more oil as I moved farther away from the cleaning service. I technically didn't fail that oil consumption trial, but by the last 1000 miles I was using 1. 25 quarts. They recommended another oil consumption trial, which failed. Now Hyundai is recommending that I do a tear down to point of failure of my engine to diagnose why it is failing at my cost - another $300-400. The local Hyundai dealership has stated that Hyundai just needs to replace the engine already. They stated not to worry about the mileage of the car because just a few weeks prior Hyundai replaced the engine of a 2013 Sonata at 230,000 miles. Hyundai corporate does not seem concerned about my issues and is quite cavalier about it. Hyundai corporate even closed my case # without checking to see if the issue had been resolved. Not once during the last 5 months has Hyundai warned me about the known issues with this engine that they can lead to catastrophic engine failures and fires. I have 2 young children, would there be enough time to unbuckle them and remove them for the car should my engine catch on fire? Hyundai has a product that is known to fail, they need to do what is right and that is to replace the faulty engines in these cars.

The week of 2/3/20 I reported my vehicle's lose of power at interstate speeds and the illumination & chiming of the check engine light. I took the car to the dealer where they ran engine diagnostics and began an oil consumption test. On 3/2/20 the vehicle again lost power on the interstate. Again I took it to the dealer where they did the t3g campaign. Yesterday 3/17/20 the engine light came on and remained on for 5 starts of the engine. The dealer could not replicate the symptom on 3/18/20. The vehicle failed the oil consumption test by 363 miles and the dealer is submitting a claim for a new engine. This model year car has serious defects and may not be safe to drive.

Engine oil consumption: more than 1 quarter every 1,000 miles but the mechanic did not find any leaking. The vehicle has total 55,000 miles and I drive about 1000 miles/month on freeway and local streets. I also found many reports on the websites and many Hyundai dealers had tested the oil consumption and waiting to the response from Hyundai headquarters.

I took my car in to the hyundia dealership for a recall for heavy oil consumption; they told me the catalytic converter went out because it was clogged, I told them if it was clogged it was due to the oil loss that made it way into the catalytic converter. The hyundia corporation refused to fix the engine or catalytic converter.

I was driving at about 30 mph, I came to a turn and when I slowed down I lost power from the engine. The radio and headlights still functioned for a while after but eventually went out. Engine burns oil faster than any other car I have owned, also since I have been driving this car oil is usually always burnt or black from previous oil change.

Hi NHTSA, I drive a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and followed all the recommended maintenance. I started to notice my oil level was below low after 2000 miles at 47000 on the vehicle. I thought it was not filled correctly and had my mechanic check it. Also, I told my Hyundai dealership in laurel, MD about the finding. I decided to top off my oil and closely monitor the status. On my next oil change, after 2000 miles my oil was low again. I add roughly 1. 5 qts to top it off. I brought my car until Hyundai for an oil consumption test. The mechanic did not note how much oil he started as the baseline; however, the dip stick was over the full mark. After 3000 miles, my oil was at the low level. Per Hyundai owner manual, I can drive 7500 miles between oil changes with non - extreme driving. Hyundai stated my car was not consuming oil, and this is normal.

Engine has to many recalls did all of them. Engine staring shaking and burning oil and consuming fuel. This vehicle could be a hazard or can stop in middle of highway and provoking accident or death.

Vehicle is burning to much oil over 2 quarts every 3000 miles have car serviced at dealer every 3000 miles no smoke no leaks car only has 58000 miles on it.

Excessive consumption of engine oil. It is not leaking out anywhere. It is burning the oil at a rapid rate.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was taken to hudson Hyundai (977 communipaw Ave, jersey city, NJ 07304) and lynnes Hyundai (401 bloomfield Ave, bloomfield, NJ 07003) where oil consumption tests were performed on the vehicle. The results showed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The dealers informed him that he should add oil every 1,000 miles. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I've been having an oil consumption issue on my vehicle. I've been getting my oil changed on time regularly & the oil seems to burn off extremely faster than it should. Every time I get my oil changed I've been told that there aren't any leaks. Now my check engine light is on & my engine is shaking. Ive only had my car for 3 years & my air bag light came on out of no where. Also my gear shift seems to lock up & wont release from park to drive.

Disappearing oil. For years now my car has been progressively using oil. Now I can't even go a week without putting in more oil and it has fouled spark plugs and left me stranded twice now, and continues to excessively consume oil. I finally got tired of this at 130k miles and took it to reliable Hyundai in springfield, mo. This dealership has been completely useless in offering any help, answers, or solutions. They've already charged me $400 for a �combustion chamber cleaning� - told me I would be reimbursed if it didn't work, then when it was obvious it didn't work they did not refund me. They have made me jump through hoops in hopes I will eventually get a new engine, but repeatedly remind me ultimately that may not happen. In 2 months I have had to go to reliable Hyundai, missing work, 11 times for their oil consumption test when it's obvious nothing is going to change because �that's Hyundai's protocol. I am going to lose my job for attendance and even after that, Hyundai still might not fix the issue. Horrible company, with horrible practices and customer service. Now I'm stuck with a car that has lost a tremendous amount of value, continues to devour oil, and Hyundai doesn't want to do anything about it until after I go there nearly 15 times. Unacceptable. When I bought my car I didn't get a �it'll prolly only make it to 140k miles� discount. Force Hyundai to recall all of their faulty engines for oil consumption as well! if I wasn't so diligent my engine would have seized by now. I shouldn't be punished for making sure my vehicle is properly maintained.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Almost two years ago, the vehicle was taken to mccarthy olathe Hyundai (located at 681 n rawhide, olathe, KS 66061, (913) 324-7200) to be inspected per NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine and engine cooling). At the time of inspection, there was no failure with the engine and the vehicle was released to the contact. Recently, the contact stated that the vehicle began to drive hesitantly. The contact stated that the vehicle was driving hesitantly especially when attempting to traverse a hill. The vehicle was taken to reed Hyundai (located at 7050 w frontage rd, merriam, KS 66203, (913) 642-9600) to have an oil consumption test performed. After 1,000 miles of driving, the engine consumed a quart of oil. The contact was informed that the oil consumption was normal. The vehicle received no further tests and was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

My Hyundai Sonata began increasingly consuming oil rapidly for a couple months until it got to me putting in 1 quart every 200 miles!!! that destroyed the catalytic converter, although the tech at the dealer tried to tell me it was due to fuel. Experts at both the exhaust shop and Ford dealership (where I bought it used), refuted that and told me it was definitely due primarily from the engine consuming way too much oil. Hyundai required me to do 5 oil consumption tests at their delaership before they can verify and document the engine is having problems! but in the meantime my engine could likely blow up/seize up, as the 2011 Hyundai Sonata is notorious for that and they recalled 470,000+ already!! I only have 3 oil consumption tests, and it shows 200 miles per quart!! my cat converter is now clogged and my car lost power. So now in a catch 22 (maybe on purpose?). I can't get 5 tests without replacing my catalytic converter, but since engine is losing 1 quart per 200 miles that oil will soon destroy any new converter I put on within 1 or 2 months, if not less!! so this is ruining the car, and I have started a case number with corporate Hyundai in California. They haven't called me back in several days all the while I don't have a car to use. Engine burning 1 quart per 200 miles or less is terrible. . . . Engine is ruined! and it's not safe!! as I have read so many 2011 Sonata owners telling about their car engines seizing up, locking up while driving 65 mph on the highway in the middle lane!! I hope Hyundai takes responsibility as I still owe $9,000 on this car!.

Engine has approximately 60,000 miles and burns between half to one quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Hyundai dealer performed an "oil consumption test" where they recorded oil level after 1,000 miles three times. After the first 1k miles it was down about half a quart of oil, same on second 1k miles, and about 1 quart on third 1k miles. Hyundai advised this is normal oil consumption and would not investigate further unless average use was more than 1 quart after 1k miles. The suggested oil change interval from Hyundai is 7,500 miles. At the rate of oil consumption the vehicle would be out of oil before the recommended service interval for oil changes.

Excessive oil consumption possible engine problem.

My vehicle has approx. 84000 miles, has routine maintenance. Recently upon acceleration, white smoke expels from the exhaust. The engine runs hot and burns oil at an excessive rate. Having to add at least 2 quarts every 2-3 weeks. While driving, the check engine light came on, took car to mechanic immediately who then explained there was so much sludge on the plugs (causing misfires and engine light to come on) from built up oil that all needed to be replaced. After replacing the plugs and oil change, white smoke continues to expell from exhaust. Mechanic advised the engine will not last much longer and will need to be replaced/rebuilt.

I and my husband both own Hyundai's. We both have been having major engine issues with both vehicles consuming an incredible and abnormal amount of oil leaving us to have to put in over more than a gallon or more of oil into each vehicle. This has caused us much lost time in being able to enjoy our vehicle. After both vehicles completing oil consumption test, both vehicles recvd engine block replacements. This has not fixed the problem. Both vehicles have reverted back to doing the same thing. The issues stated back up after about a year. We have had to not drive the cars, put the cars in the shop, rent other vehicles to drive while at the same time have to pay the vehicle monthly payments. This is unfortunate because the manufacturer, Hyundai on purposely selling damaged cars and leaving the thousands of owners of these vehicles to have to deal with the unflux of issues that it has and continue to cause. Both vehicles are now back to square one with both needing to go back into the shop for more engine work whatever that may entail. The dealership has informed us that they do not have any vehicles for us to use or borrow while our vehicles are being maintenance. This is another inconvenience because now we have to pay the car note, rent a vehicle and possibly pay for any maintenance and then have to deal with the same manufacturer to try to get reimbursed. This has been nothing short of a nightmare. We want justice and we want the manufacturer Hyundai to be held accountable for their mischeavous and selfish actions. This has been ongoing but the vehicle went into the shop for new engines in late 2018 and my husband after mine. We could not afford to have both vehicles to be in the shop at the same time.

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. I cannot afford to finance another car. Thank you.

Dealership performed oil consumption test. Added/topped up in excess of 1 litre oil every 1500 kilometres. Abbotsford Hyundai and Hyundai canada state this is normal oil consumption ! the vehicle cannot make it from one oil change (every 6000 kilometres) to next without the engine going dry! this seems unacceptable. Owned many different brands and have never had this issue! also the engine is very load (sounds rattling).

We were driving and the car engine just stopped in motion in the middle of the city street. Everything locked and would not start - looked inside and the oil was black (I just got an oil change, less than a month ago). I spoke to a mechanic and they said this specific model has many issues, specifically excessive oil burning. I had my car towed and need to get it running ASAP. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you.

I received a recall notice in the mail for my car that said the small engine block was recalled because metal shavings were getting into the engine and causing them to stahl while going down highway people are dying because of this. I took my car in and the dealership said it was fine but it's now burning oil and starting to stahl out they then did an oil consumption test and said it was normal to be burning oil. Nothing has happened to me or my family yet but I don't want to give it the chance. What can I do?.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning a large amount of oil. Every 2000 miles, a quart of oil had to be added to the engine. Jenkins Hyundai of ocala (352-815-2533, located at 1602 college rd sw, ocala, FL 34471) refused to finance the repairs and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was called and stated that there was no recall related to the failure and a case worker would call the contact back in a few days. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.

This vehicle is burning a qt of oil every 500 miles! I have had the engine recall done with no issues but oil is still disappearing. There are no puddles nor any on the outside of the engine. There are numerous complaints about this same issue and after all the recalls and repairs I've dumped into this car, I wish I hadn't bought it.

My engine is knocking and consuming oil. It worsens with increased rpm. Something sounds wrong in the engine and it has a high oil consumption rate yet there is no evidence of oil leak under vehicle. The dealer does all service, its under warranty and yet they have not taken care of the problem though they have been notified of this issue several times and inspected the vehicle. I am afraid I will have a total engine failure and put my safety at risk either from a crash or being stranded in a deserted area. . . . . Also Hyundai charged me last year to replace a coupling in the steering which was causing the issue and yet there has been a recall on this coupling. Bentley Hyundai of huntsville, al. They keep charging me money for repairs or inspections that should be covered under warranty. . . . . Please help!.

I'm not even sure what all recalls are there anymore however this is the car I love to hate. . . Break wires keep melting car is now burning oil apparently and there is no reason or leak the engine is knocking now. . . Absolutely love my car but I believe she will leave me stranded soon on top of what ever happened with the break light staying on randomly reduced my driving speed nearly causing me an accident.

I have had this car for a little over a year and it has been full of recalls, some I have been told of, some I have not. This is a recent event, I got my oil changed at the usual shop and about 1000 miles before I was due (I get it every 3-4,000 miles) I was completely out of oil. I than took it to my local shop and they couldn't find any leaks or issues but warned me there is a recall for my car burning oil, which I was not told by Hyundai. I took it too the dealership where my warranty is through and they did an oil change for me and told me to come back in 1000 miles. I went to the beach, was about 300 miles from my 1000 mile goal and I was again completely out of oil. I put a quart in and took it back to them and I was even out than but they refused to fix it because I had added oil on my own (so my engine wouldn't run with no oil). They are still unsure of what has caused this oil burning or how much oil my car is burning.

My steering wheel is cluncking & rattling very bad as if I am going to lose control. I have also ben burning oil like crazy for months.

I was told I need a need engine because of sludge indicating that I hadn't had regular oil changes. The car is two years old and I've had five oil changes. They won't pay for the engine but I've seen that this is an on going problem for these cars. Not my car is smoking even worst. They did three of the oil changes and another company that's now out of business did the others and I can't prove it because it was independently owned. . . There is no way to check the records. They completed an oil consumption test because we were losing oil. The car didn't start smoking until June 2017. We had been complaining since we had the car because it always seemed at this it didn't have any get up and go. They said that was because there are three different car modes; economy (which we always drive in), normal and sport. We never believed that. A police stopped my husband yesterday and said we can't drive the car with all that smoke pouring out the back. What am I to do? the car is only two years old! it had a little over 4k miles when we first purchased it. They said an oil change was completed prior to us purchasing the car. We never had any warning light that our oil was low.

I have taken my vehicle in recently because my car stalled a week ago while on the highway driving 55 miles an hour. After the inspection completed at Hyundai dealership, I was advised everything is okay to drive the car and we would like to complete an oil consumption test because they wanted to test out the engines consumption for what they think could be a safety recall incident. I drove the car for the first time on the interstate highway for about 85 miles since it was last in the shop, for what was said that everything was safe to drive, and I noticed today that my car started to rattle at a 65 miles an hour on i95 north in maryland- went I had to exit the highway because my car had caught on fire underneath the hood and engine of car and the scar stalled. Smooth entered cabin of car and fire department was called. Car was not able to be driven and was very unsafe after I was told I was okay to drive it.

2013 Hyundai Sonata burning oil. At 83,000 miles went in for oil change (before it was due) alerted to the fact that there were only drops left on oil dipstick. ( no warning light came on) agreed to have full synthetic oil placed. At the same time that occurred I noted difficulty getting the car out of park. Driver had to use the manual override to get the car out of park mode and into drive. Car was stationary at 84,660 miles went back to have oil checked again. Oil was down 1. 5 quarts.

At 124,000 miles (4000 miles after the warranty ran out), my car started burning about one quart after each 1000 miles driven. I have changed my oil religiously after every 3,000 - 5,000 miles. My mechanic told me that the car had burned most of its oil at a 3,000 mile oil change. He also said that there were metal shavings in the oil. This is consistent with a problem that has been widely reported on this engine.
