2017 HYUNDAI SONATA- Mays Landing , NJ
The car has been experiencing oil consumption issues for the past 15k miles and it's getting worse hyundai says .y vin isn't under recall and they can't help me. My mechanic says my oil consumption is high and is concerned about potential engine failure. I have to add oil every 500 miles. The 2.4l engine has had major issues but Hyundai will not expand the recall. My mechanic has seen issues like this but Hyundai won't do anything. I have friends with engine failures in similar Hyundai models. This has been going on for about a year when I had mileages in the 77k range. I now have 99k and the oil consumption is getting worse. I am very easy on this car and always do full synthetic changes at the Hyundai recommended intervals for the severe driving schedule. I've never had a car costume anything close to the amount of oil I am using including two other Hyundai I have owned.

2017 HYUNDAI SONATA- Conyers, GA
The engine is losing oil at a much higher rate, causing a knocking sound. Not accelerating at it should without the sound getting louder and hesitating. This vehicle has been inspected by a licensing mechanic ( Goodyear). The check engine lights and multiple codes have appeared while driving for about the last 4-5 months.

2017 HYUNDAI SONATA- West Allis, WI
In early June 2024 while driving 65 MPH vehicle started shaking, engine and oil light came on, losing power, noisy and only would go 50 MPH max. When destination reached, checked oil level (was low) added oil.Took the vehicle to auto repair shop. Review showed a misfire in cylinder #2 with plug oil fouled and recommended new engine. The car was taken to the Hyundai dealer who performed various diag. procedures via communicating with their Techline who ended up rejecting the request to replace the engine due to the milage (136K) being out of warranty. They would replace engine if the connecting rod bearings had wear or damage. Hyundai national consumer affairs contact given for the case refuses to listen to any information given and only states vehicle is out of warranty. Hyundai knows this engine has manufacturing issues causing them to wear out prematurely including excessive oil consumption. They should extend the warranty to at least 150K. Afraid to drive car as engine may suddenly stop or catch fire causing accident/injury to occupants. Please help!
