Excessive oil consumption no leaks its buring oil.
Car is using an abnormally large amount of oil. I reported to Hyundai. They sent me to a Hyundai dealership for an oil consumption test. They confirmed that I do not have an oil leak under the automobile. The dealer is telling me “it’s completely normal to burn through 1 quart of oil for every 1,000 miles”. That would leave my automobile with only two quarts of oil after driving 3,000 miles. The owner’s manual does not state any of this. Now I am paying a significant amount of money on oil consumption tests of which they are telling me I might need several before they might fix the problem. This 2017 Hyundai Tucson is one of the models and years affected.
Excessive oil consumption causing engine failures. Excessive engine oil consumption, will also shorten the service life of, oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, spark plugs and much more. All which I have had to replace since buying vehicle used in may 2021. This vehicle is not on the vehicle engine replacement recall campaign and I am not sure why. There is obviously a major engine manufacturing problem. Hyundai should be responsible for manufacturing problems and they also should do what it takes to fix the problem. My request: for Hyundai to reimburse me the money I have spent fixing, repairing and money spent on oil to operate this vehicle. As all the information shows, this is a manufacturing issue with the engine and no vehicle should consume/burn this much oil. It has been proven that excessive oil consumption causes engine and parts failures. There are no leaks detected either by the dealership or repair shops. Frequently having an oil change doesn’t change anything. I had an oil change (yes I have all receipts of repairs) less than a month ago and I have already had to put in 2 quarts of oil.
When driving on the highway, driver experienced sudden nudge and white smoke started to show. Once pulled over, driver noticed the car is leaking. The ignition would not go. It was examined and showed that the rod punctured the engine as well as the oil filter, trailing oil for more than a mile. The oil was burning in the punctured engine and caused the smoke. The crank shaft broke in half not allowing starter to go as well.
Hyundai Tucson 1. 6l turbo engine burns oil internally before 3,000 mile oil exchange. Started around 75k miles. The truck hesitates and wants to stall. I have to add quart of oil every 2k miles before oil exchange. There is no visible oil leaks. Ignition coil error code diagnostics point to mis-firing of cylinder 2. Replaced spark plugs and switch known good ignition coil but same error code and engine light. This truck make, year and model is well known at oil exchange service centers for running low on oil because it burns oil unknowingly to it's vehicle owners.
My 2017 Hyundai Tucson consumes more than 3 quarts of oil between filter changes. I noticed the oil consumption around 36k miles. I have taken the car to southtown Hyundai (riverdale, GA) many times for this issue. The dealer did 3 oil consumption test, all failed. I was told nothing can be done at the moment. I even reached out to corporate, with no response back. The vehicle currently has 75k miles on the engine. Please help.
