2017 Hyundai SANTA FE SPORT - POWER TRAIN Failure Complaint (#b0b0dc)

2017 Hyundai SANTA FE SPORT

  • Date of Incident: Mar-18, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-26, 2024
  • Failed components: POWER TRAIN

I was pulling onto i75 at 6:00am when my car started shuttering, making a clicking/ knocking noise and slowing way down. Thankfully i was able to make it onto the shoulder before causing an accident. I was unable to accelerate enough to go anywhere so i called a tow truck. My car is burning oil at an extremely fast rate. I have to get my oil refilled about every 7-10 days with the only warning of low oil being a flicker of my oil light. Continue to be shut down by hyundai when we mention it. Everyone i know with this engine has had to have it replaced or get a new car. But hyundai doesn’t want to do anything about mine. Currently sitting in their lot and they said it would be about a month before they would even look at it.
