Hyundai owners across the U.S. are raising concerns about excessive oil consumption in several models, with some reporting that their cars require quarts of oil every 800 to 1,000 miles.
Although Hyundai’s standard 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty covers many initial owners, subsequent buyers face costly repairs when issues arise.
Zhenya Rozinskiy, a Hyundai owner, discovered his 2017 Santa Fe had consumed all its oil after just 2,000 miles post-purchase, leading to a recommendation for an $8,000 engine replacement.
Hyundai eventually replaced the engine as a goodwill gesture, but many owners find themselves paying out-of-pocket for similar repairs due to warranty limitations.
Despite mounting complaints of Hyundai oil consumption issues, the company reportedly has yet to issue a recall, stating that customer satisfaction remains a priority. Experts advise that drivers consistently document maintenance and report concerns promptly.
