Engine has been burning through oil. Started the Engine oil consumption test at one dealership. That dealership has now closed leaving me to go to another dealership. They want me to start the process over again. I have had two oil changes, failed the second test and was scheduled to bring my car back for the next step in the diagnostic process. Not only do they want me to pay out of pocket again for an oil change but my car is driving worse. It didn't start the other day and it drives horribly. The safety concern I have is that the engine will seize while driving, causing an accident.

Won't start by model year
What owners say
Intermittent starting problem. Sometimes it won't start at all after as many as 12 attempts. Sometimes, it starts after several attempts. The weather does not seem to affect the problem. The EPB light has come on an stayed on after a non-starting episode but it goes off again too. It is not safe to drive because I get stranded. After it gets towed, it ends up starting at the mechanic's shop. No one, including and especially Hyundai will try to isolate and diagnose the issue. The issue is mentioned often on Hyundai owner's posts on internet forums but definite solutions are not mentioned.
My engine has been losing oil with no leak. 1st shut down was 02sensors crank shaft , check engine light still on took it fixed it not sure how. Brought it in for upgrade in security took it out and a week later didn't start. Now entire exhaust is gone it's still burning oil I called ciorperate because he would not acknowledge the burning oil. So we will start this every 1000 kile test x3 so it may be diagnosed but they still want ne to pay 2600 fix exhaust that is directly linked to sludge and burning oil!? I do nit know what to do but I have already put 1000s in fir service rental tow I literally cannot pay 2600 to get car back to prove the problem and eat it it isn't fair well jotting is but this has got to be illegal so ehow... I hope
While on the road, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson Value dashboard warning lights lit up and stated to check the Lane Keeping Assist and the Forward Collision Assist. The engine light, anti-skid light and power steering light came on as well as the car began to decelerate while in the middle of traffic. I pulled over and turned the car off. When trying to turn back on, the car would not start again until I began pumping the gas with my foot for a few seconds then it started; however, now the engine light was on although it drove normally after that. This has happened to me a few times now, but is very scary because it gives no warning and when I take it to the dealership they can never find anything wrong with it.
I have had vehicle since june 5th, 2020 and have had 4 dozens times where it will not start. It has been in the service department twice, getting ready to go back for the 3rd time. The first time they could not find anything, the 2nd time, which it had to be towed, I was told that it was because the oil filter was not a hyundai oil filter and I had to pay $118.00 even through I have a warranty. Now this morning even with the hyundai oil filter, it will not start again.
Vehicle was in motion on i88 westbound in il. Vehicle electrical power cut off completely in the middle of the busy interstate. Acceleration slowed until vehicle died and all error lights appeared and flashed on dash with a "service now" alert. Pulled over and placed the vehicle in park, and turned the switch to see if it would crank again. Vehicle does not start and gives the same "service now" light. Vehicle will not start when jumped by il state police. Called tow truck, currently waiting.
