went in for a routine oil change on vehicle at bob king hyundai in Winston salem, NC. Left home a few days later and home is 4hrs away roughly. When i got back home my Oil pressure light came on so i parked and checked the situation. There was no oil on my dipstick at all. Called dealer and asked why i'm empty if they just put oil in vehicle and they said they put in the right amount but my suv was saying another story. I literally had to fight with them to get a oil consumption test done free of charge for them to tell me what i already knew it was consuming or leaking, however they failed to tell me where it was going. Didn't want to honor the warranty that i bought into after i brought up the issues before it ran out and they denied my claim. i'm losing 1.5 - 2 qtrs. a week this is unacceptable by the manufacture to put bad equipment in or mess up a service and not take responsibility for their own actions! I had a trash bag full of empty oil jugs and i have had to make multiple trips to get my oil changed in that first week of not knowing why my motor was going through oil. My pressure light comes on during crank up to start and then goes away after i reach i certain speed on the rd and will come back off on on during rides. I also field multiple cases with BBB.

I am the second owner of the car bought Oct of 2023. Car was burning through oil thought I needed an oil change and did this ( should not have needed it since it was done just before buying) and days later check engine light came on Hyundai said it was a knock sensor. They replaced it and exactly a month later check engine light came on again. Now they are saying engine is shot and will cost $20,000 to fix. Car had great maintenance records. These cars are not safe as the engine can blow or the car will come to a stop at any minute while driving down the road putting not only the vehicle occupants in danger but also anyone driving near them. First started December of 2023 and sencond problems was January of 2024. I will be uploading all the files I have related to all the times it has been looked over.

My engine ceased without warning. I had to purchase a used engine for 16K and it just ceased without warning exactly the same way.

Engine oil consumption test at 1,000 miles after oil change. All oil gone. Happened for two oil changes. Engine light came on. I paid 5k in repairs for catalytic converter/manifold. Dealer contacted Hyundai to do combustion cleaning they said no. Dealer told me keep checking oil as my engine will seize on me. I'm terrified and this is dangerous to me and others. Hyundai knows of this oil engine problem still no recall.

I bought this vehicle back in 2022 hearing how great Hyundai is wanting to make a long time purchase with a for my family. I’ve had different models vehicles but I wanted something reliable. Now hearing this is possibly a fire hazard I need all this taking care of immediately . I am dependent on my car to get to work, for food, and I take my kids to school an to practice and just everyday life. I will take my vehicle to the dealership immediately to attempt to get this taking care of this week an hopes this company can make it right. Thanks for your time
