Engine is burning too much oil.Tested for leaks.none. Had combustion cleaning,valve cover gasket replaced and oil changed as per Advantage Hyundai instructions.still burning oil too fast.Hyundai is hiding behind the fact that my vehicle is out of warranty because its close to 100,00 miles.This is obviously a defect in the engine and they should stand by their work and replace it with no cost to me.There are all kinds of class action suits against them because of this issue.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low engine oil warning light illuminated, prompting the contact to inspect the dipstick. After a visual inspection, the contact observed that the oil was abnormally low, though the vehicle had been serviced less than a month prior. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed an engine oil consumption test and found that the vehicle consumed one quart of engine oil in 360 miles. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 103,000.

I am the current owner a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. While I was driving my SUV on the highway at highway speeds at 60mph, the oil pressure and the check engine warning light illuminated all of sudden after around 1 hour of smooth ride. In the meantime, suddenly the vehicle lost motive power, the steering wheel seized and smoke came immediately. Losing motive power in running conditions and smoke coming out during failure could have endangered our lives. The smoke came out due to leakage of engine oil probably. The vehicle was stuck in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to the residence and then after Hyundai Dealership. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,245 only. Before reporting to NHSTA I have seen numerous complaints about high oil consumption and burnt valves on Theta II engines around 2017 santafe sport model and very similar occurrence of events happening to all while driving the vehicle on highways. Hyundai must need to provide support to this year model and make vehicles.

The contact drove back to the residence and checked the oil level on the dipstick and became aware that there was no oil in the engine. The contact added 4 quarts of engine oil and drove the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer initiated an oil consumption test. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer three more times before the dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact stated that the engine had been replaced two years prior due to excessive oil consumption. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power after the engine made an abnormal sound. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where DTC: P1326 was retrieved, and the vehicle was diagnosed with knock sensor signal range error, metal shavings into the engine, and other unknown failures.

I am unsure what component of the engine caused the issue. There was chance of engine failure while driving. While idle the engine was stuttering and the RPN dial was fluctuating. Engine persisted to stutter and jerk at random intervals when accelerating. The engine light came on flashing ~1 hour after the first sign of the issue. Immediately after the engine light came on the vehicle was moved off of the road and a tow truck was contacted to transport the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership. The vehicle was inspected at a manufacturer's dealership and the problem was resolved with a technician stating that the vehicle needed a "system update". There is also an ongoing issue with the vehicle excessively consuming oil.

I have had this car since Sept 2023, it had about 85,000 miles when I got it. Before I had even owned it for a year and before it had 100,000 miles it was burning oil at an alarming rate! I took it to my dealership which did a consumption test and told me to bring it to Hyundai. Hyundai did their own oil consumption test which results proved my car was burning 3 quarts of oil in under 1,000 miles. Hyundai refused to do anything about it as well as the dealership I bought the car from (they say it is a Hyundai problem) I have spoken to corporate who refuse to fix it because I bought it out of warranty, which I was unaware of at the time I bought it. I am a single mother who has to work full time to support my family, my car has died numerous times and I am buying oil about once a week, I have had to call out of work due to it dying and it has died with my children in the car as well. I am afraid to drive it because I know it will die and I will be stranded but unfortunately I have no other options. It is a complete safety hazard and I can not trade or refinance because even tho I havent had it 2 years, I owe more than it is worth in value.
