The engine is burning oil after couple days of change engine oil. The oil engine light will flash after a week or two after changing the oil. Thank you

Engine consumes a quart of oil every 1-2 weeks. Burning through oil like crazy in-between oil changes, feels sluggish on low gears, stalls, rattling noise. Mass oil consumption damages rods causing other engine issues such as punctures in n engine block.

My engine burns oil. There is no leakage on the ground. I check the oil once a week and have to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil or more every time i check it. My safety is at risk because if I miss one week of checking the oil level and forget to add oil, my engine is going to seize while driving and possible kill me or other drivers. Oil lamp has been on and i've been refilling the oil weekly for approximately one month. Tire company -Midas tires- changed my tires but did not perform an inspection. They informed me of a government recall for a dangerous engine issue that Hyundai will not acknowledge nor fix.

Brakes lose of brake pressure when bumps are hit. Reapply brakes to regain pressure engine burning oil issues and overheating issues. This has resulted in my 1.6 l having engine failure and it is not on the recall list as the 2.0's and up are. Being that they are the same motor other than the size of pistons and turbo confuses me

While on the highway my car slowed down and would not accelerate. Prior to this, the car had been running completely fine. My car has about 93,000 miles on it currently. I towed my car 20 miles to my long time and trusted mechanic. He says my car has an oil consumption problem. Apparently this is a very common issue with hyundai velosters, and from what I've read most people decide to avoid the headache and runaround that hyundai gives them when reporting the issue. They instead opt to trade their vehicles in. Would this issue warrant a recall? Given the fact that hyundai knows this is a recurring problem in this vehicle? Not to mention, this is a huge safety concern! My car literally stalled on a highway.

My veloster turbo consumes between 3-4 quarts of oil between oil change. I have the 100,000 mile warranty on the power train but they will not look at the engine until we preform a oil consumption test which requires me to bring the car to the dealership every 1000 miles in order for them to look at the engine. I've brought it to two different dealerships and keep getting different excuses as to why this problem exist. The shop manager explained the issue this last time, so they know what the problem is, they just will not fix it or look at it, until we perform this "test". If we continue at this pace my car will be over 100,000 miles and the warranty will be voided. I have performed all of my oil changes on time. Hyundai will not honor their warranty on the power train.
