2013 Hyundai Accent: excessive oil consumption

Filed Oct 17, 2025 · Engine · MO

My 2013 Hyundai Accent with 130K miles is experiencing excessive oil consumption. I'm replacing 1.5+ quarts per month to keep it at the full mark on the dipstick. After some research, it appears that lawsuits and Technical Service Bulletins have been issued to address the concerns, but the dealer says my vehicle does not qualify for these warranty/goodwill repairs. TSB 23-EM-008H, as an example, seems to apply to my vehicle. Can this be investigated please? I believe this vehicle qualifies for warranty/goodwill repairs and/or engine replacement.

I was driving my vehicle on the highway and all of the sudden I got a low oil light, check engine light, and the vehicle shut down in the middle of moving traffic. It turns out my vehicle has the same oil consumption issue as the other vehicles listed in the Engine II Class Action settlement. Please make them issue a recall and add Accents to the model list.

Oil consumption and engine failure

Filed Sep 16, 2022 · Engine · CA

Engine consumes oil which if left unchecked could lead to engine failure. It is well documented that many Hyundai models are experiencing excessive oil consumption. My daughter's vehicle fortunately warned through the oil pressure light that there was an issue. Back in Dec 2021, she took the Accent for an oil change at which point the technician was shocked there was no oil in the oil pan. This could have led to serious engine failure. My daughter lives in Los Angeles where she travels often on multi-lane highways. This was brought to a Hyundai dealership for inspection. After conducting oil consumption tests (4x), it was determined the engine is consuming over 2 qts/1,000 miles. About a week ago, Dealer submitted for approval of engine replacement under goodwill as the warranty expired already. Hyundai denied it. I wrote to corporate to appeal and they denied it again stating the car is out of warranty. This is unacceptable. Their engines are defective. My research shows many Hyundai models suffer from the same issue. No recalls have been done. A class action lawsuit is now in play against Hyundai. the federal safety agency should force Hyundai to repair all affected engines. Furthermore, Hyundai is compelling consumers to go through arbitration which is unacceptable.

Was driving down the interstate and went to get off on an exit and pressed the brake to slow down and pressed the clutch in to start gearing down and as soon as I pressed the clutch something broke in the clutch and it would not engage anymore. I coasted over to the side of the off ramp and cut the car off. Roadside assistance came out and towed my car to hyundai of decatur. My car sat for three days before they would even pull it in. When they finally did, they didn't even get permission from the owner to tear the engine down. All he did was take off the valve cover and automatically tried to blame the engine being locked up on it having low oil which it did not considering it had an oil change on the 20th of june and the car broke down on the 29th. The mechanic did not even look at where the problem originated. Oh, and no check engine light or low oil light came on so that tells me that it has nothing to do with the oil. It tells me that there was faulty parts in the clutch and now they are trying every way they possibly can to get out of repairing my car under the warranty. So if you could please do all you can to get this out there that hyundai of decatur are hateful and treat their customers like trash and don't abide by their warranties. I advise anyone to never purchase a car from them ever.
