What owners say
Engine burning oil extremely fast after oil change
This car overconsumes oil rapidly. I have always taken it for oil changes when due. I put hardly any miles on my car (10k or less annually) and every time I take it for an oil change they say it is extremely low. The oil light never comes on to alert me that it is low. About a week or two ago it started making a clicking noise and it was due for an oil change so I took it for one and the technician said that this is a common issue with Hyundai cars and that there is permanent engine damage due to the overconsumption of oil. I am only halfway through paying this car off and it will cost as much as it is worth to repair it.
I am writing to bring to your attention a critical safety concern regarding the 2019 Hyundai Accent, specifically regarding the persistent issue of oil burning in the engine. This problem has affected my vehicle, as well as numerous other owners of the same model year. Despite being well within the warranty period, when I brought my 2019 Hyundai Accent with approximately 50,000 miles to the dealership for repairs due to excessive oil consumption, I was met with refusal to address the issue under warranty. Upon further inquiry, it has come to my attention that this problem is widespread among Hyundai engines, with many owners experiencing similar issues. The consequences of this oil burning problem are not only financially burdensome for owners who are forced to continuously add oil between changes, but also pose a significant safety risk. Engine failure due to oil deprivation can result in sudden loss of power, leading to potentially hazardous situations, including accidents and injury. Despite numerous complaints and reports from Hyundai Accent owners, it appears that Hyundai has failed to take appropriate action to rectify this issue and ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicles. Therefore, I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this matter thoroughly and take necessary actions to hold Hyundai accountable for their failure to address this widespread and potentially dangerous defect in their vehicles. Owners like myself deserve a prompt and effective resolution to this issue to ensure the safety and integrity of our vehicles. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the oil warning light frequently blinked on the instrument panel. The contact called an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle. The mechanic discovered that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where an oil consumption test was performed, and an engine cleaning was performed to correct the failure. Despite the repair, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
The engine has been consuming excessive amounts of oil since the vehicle was purchased used in Aug 2022. Eventually during normal highway driving the engine made a loud knock, lost all power, and all of the oil began spilling out of the engine creating a large oil slick on the highway. The sudden lose of engine power led to difficulty steering and braking to move the vehicle to the shoulder of the road.
