Engine burns too much oil and needs oil replenishment every 2 weeks while driving only 100-200 miles. This is extremely hazardous cause on highway the car can stall anytime which has happened in the past. The engine has been fixed for leaks before but still is burning oil and no mechanic will touch it saying it is a common issue of hyundai. Why is this model no part of the class action lawsuit?

When headlights are on auto they can spontaneously turn off. This is accompanied by the headlight selector display in the middle of the instrument panel changing to the parking light symbol. The lights typically switch back to auto and come back on within a few seconds but it can be longer. Most often, but not always this seems to be associated with using the turn signal and being in the middle of a 90 turn. However it has happened at other times as well. Losing headlights and visibility while driving at night, particularly while turning is a hazard. Two dealerships have said they cannot reproduce the problem. It has been going on for multiple years. However is primarily a problem when it starts getting dark early. The issue can be avoided by leaving the lights in the on position all the time.
