Accent GS/GLS Dohc Gdi Gamma

  • Automatic transmission

This is becoming more of a pain in the ass and is costing me 4 quarts of oil a month

problem #2

Accent SE 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 94,000 miles

My car started consuming oil, I thought my car was just getting old. That is until now when I realized that there were a lot of cars with the same engine having the same problems. This consumption of oil caused catalytic converter failure, leading to fuel in my oil. Hyundai will not help due to me being past warranty and not in the safety recall. I'm beyond pissed by now.

Accent 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 128,227 miles

Customer complaint of high oil consumption about 1 quart per 300 miles. Problem was found to be ring lands clogged with carbon deposits. Intake valves were also covered in deposits. Valve seals and piston rings replaced fixed the issue.
