2015 Hyundai Sonata - ENGINE and UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#b0c6be)

2015 Hyundai Sonata

  • Date of Incident: Apr-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-25, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My Sonata is experiencing Engine failure due to excessive and irregular oil consumption. The Hyundai dealership conducted an oil consumption test in which it was discovered that the car is excessively using oil. My Safety and the safety of others were put at risk as the engine slow and stalls without prior warning and the check engine light does not come on until the vehicle slows and stalls. The vehicle was inspected at a Hyundai dealership and submitted to Hyundai for all or partial financial assistance for a new Engine and in turn was declined by Hyundai even though they have a know issue of their Engines consuming an unusually high rate of oil.
