Hyundai Engine Oil Consumption

380

Asked by Nashvillesante2013 Jun 15, 2020 at 01:03 PM about the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T Premium AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe 2.0T AWD is consuming oil.  I came across a
Class Action suite against KIA and HMM to provide Life Time Engine
Warranty for certain class Hyundai and Kia owners.  Settlement was
submitted for Class approval on May 7, 2020.  For those that have posted a
question about it here, go to your dealer and ask them to do an Oil
Consumption Test and if your care is burning oil then Hyundai/KIA will
replace your engine.    CASE NO:  8:17-CV-00838-JLS-JDE

My engine will be changed by Hundai July 2020...waiting for engine to come in. HOWEVER...THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING 12,000 OR 12 MONTHS WARRANTY ON THIS SECOND REPLACEMENT ENGINE. Please if you have dealt with Hyundai on this and got a full warranty...please post location. i have argued with service dept on this already and the work hasn't been done yet. Any suggestions.

I have a customer with an excellent oil change record. 113,000 miles and use a quart of oil every 330 miles. Hyundai like lots of other manufactures need to recognize this!!!!

I also see this engine in catastrophic failures. This 2.0 is really a bad design that they are just ignoring!!! They are jumping ship when the manufacture can. Leave the customer holding the bag and let the customer fight us to deal with this design flaw. Hyundai you slants go F--C- your self's.

My 2014 Elantra Sport with the 2.0l is losing a quart every 500 miles. I use synthetic, there is no leaks, and no bluish smoke. I have no idea where it is going.

I have 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport with 2.0 T, every 100 to 150 kilometres, I need to add 1 to 2 litres of oil. The engine only as 120 kilometres. We have the oil change done at Mr Lubes, every time we check the level is at the full mark. Should I be contacting the dealer or manufacture directly?

I have a 2014 Santa Fe Sport AWD and found out through oil consumption testing that I'm going through a quart every 500 miles. I have 113,000 miles on it. I finished the oil consumption testing December 7th and they just told me yesterday that my engine is not covered under the extended warranty. Anyone else have this issue and how did you resolve it?

2016 Sonata SE 2.4 L engine. 122,000 miles on it . Using a quart a week. Hyundai is telling me the extended warranty from the class action suit is cut off at 120,000 miles. They want me to do the oil consumption test at my cost. $130.00 each time and they require two. After that the bottom line if it fails is a new engine at my cost. Which is $5,276.61. That does not include labor, fluids, belts plugs and a few other things the part guy couldn't remember. My third and last Hyundai.

I have the same problem every 2500 miles I have to add oil to the engine 2 quarts since always and I had that problem and noise in the engine when I give gas a knock in the engine

Don't be stupid and wait for it to be 2 quarts low. Never allow the engine to get more than 1/2 quart low.

I have a 2016 Santa Fe 2.0T and it has been consuming oil and I have mentioned this to the service dept. and they give me some BS about Hyundai's standard about it. Since my last oil change I have had to put 5.0 L of oil to keep it above the min. level. I continue to complaint about it without much success. I have a 2008 Mazda 5 close 200,000km and never had this issue. Time to go electric. Lol

Guru91XGZ1 Yes, worry about them not covering it. Look up your VIN number for recalls and see if the recalls have been done and if your engine has a lifetime warranty. If it is not covered by warranty, good luck getting Hyundai to compensate you for this defective engine. My 2015 Santa Fe stalled and locked up without any warning light notices, and because I did not have the recall software installed, which did actually not fix the engine, it simply alerted you of a problem, they have been fighting me to cover my reimbursement for a new engine. The defective engine should not have ever been put into production and installed in the vehicles which puts drivers at risk for stalling or fires. They need to compensate drivers regardless of whether they get a bandaid fix to a serious recall.

On October 28, 2022, a proposed class action was commenced against Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. alleging that certain Hyundai vehicles (the “Affected Vehicles”) have latent design, manufacturing, material, and/or workmanship defects that cause restricted oil flow, increased oil consumption, engine damage, sudden vehicle stalling, catastrophic engine failure, and/or non-Collison engine fires (the “Engine Defect”). Please join this class action in Canada for oil consumption: https://www.mckenzielake.com/hyundai-mpi-engine-class-action/
