Engine was consuming oil badly. Engine has 98000 miles on it. Then driving one day, lost most power. So I got it home and ran codes and was having multiple cylinder misfire. Had it towed into dealership, and then did a diagnostic and claimed there is bad cylinder head damage and I would need a whole new engine. Which they said would not be covered under warranty. Which seems odd since these engines have a lifetime warranty because of a class action lawsuit. So I started a case with hyundai corporate, and they said they weren't going to cover it under their 5 year 60k warranty. But that isn't the warranty that should cover it. So, I am in the process of having the BBB dispute this for me. Because I cannot afford the huge amount to have them put a new engine in. This has been the biggest pain and I have been out a car for months with no loaner or anything.

I am concerned about the length of time this recall is taking. My dealership made an appointment for March 15, 2023 and told me it is just to look at it and decide if they need to order the part. This does not sound safe. If something happens between now and then can I hold them responsible. I have made the effort. Can I go to a regular mechanic to have this fixed

My engine has low compression in the third cylinder (20 lbs) and has been using about a quart of oil for every 500 miles. The engine failure puts owners and commuting traffic in danger due to the vehicle running rough then eventually stalling. I had to keep one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake to keep the vehicle running until I was able to get it to the dealership. My vehicle has been well maintained and only has 130,977 miles on it. It is a 2017 Santa Fe Sport with the 3.0 liter engine. The engine has been inspected by the dealership and they recommend a new engine.

Since July my vehicle has been consuming oil at a very high rate. Had an oil change done on 7/8/22 at approximately 56,000 miles. In late September/early October, my engine oil light would randomly go on and off at approximately 59,000 miles. Took the car to my mechanic on 10/13/22, thinking it was a sensor gone bad but I was extremely low on oil at 59,262 miles. Took my vehicle to my mechanic on 11/9/22 to have the oil checked since at the 10/13/22 visit he informed me that there was an issue with my vehicle model burning through oil. After putting only 861 miles on the vehicle since the oil change on 10/13/22, I had burned through 3 quarts of oil. I now have to check my oil every 500-1000 miles to make sure that I don't run out of oil and my engine seizes up. The Hyundai dealer informed there is nothing they can do about it unless Hyundai will approve a oil consumption test and that is not guaranteed even though I informed them that this is a known issue with the certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles to the point that a class action suit was filed in April of 2022 over the issue in California.
