2016 Hyundai Sonata limited was purchased in 2017 with approximately 100 miles on it. Car did okay until it approached 100k miles. Then the car just started burning oil like mad. Took it in for consistent oil changes about every 2,500 miles and added about a quart of oil every two weeks. The problem just continued to get worse. Took to the Hyundai dealership and they said it was over 100k miles I was SOL. Just continued to do regular maintenance and oil changes/feedings.
I had visited dealerships and inquired about the problem 4 different times. Never was I told that this problem could lead to engine failure and that is exactly what happened. Went out of town for a couple of hours. Before hitting the road, I stopped by my oil lube center and had all of the fluids topped off including the quart of oil. Traveled 30 minutes out of town with no problems. When returning back, I was traveling on the turnpike at 85 mph when all of a sudden, the engine light started flashing and within two minutes of this happening the car just died, and I had to carefully cruise over to the shoulder. Had the car towed to my mechanic. They said the car needs a new engine which is an expense that far exceeds the value of the car.
Will never purchase another Hyundai and am going to file complaints in every corner of the world until Hyundai takes responsibility. They are fully aware that there is a problem with the 2016 Sonatas and continue to ignore the problem. We need more complaints placed on platforms that are going to get results and more unhappy customers that are driving one of these lemons to step up and file class action lawsuits. There should have been a recall on these vehicles engines years ago. I'm completely baffles that there isn't one. When the car broke down this week and I started researching the problem more in depth, there are so many people dealing with the same thing and it's absolutely not acceptable.
