  • 10,500 miles
Had been losing mpg for about six months (went down from average 28 to 21) and dealer said could not do anything for me. Finally, engine light went on and brought car back to dealer who diagnosed a faulty oxygen sensor. Dealer ordered part and replaced sensor couple days ago. Engine light is off but it will take several months to check the mpg. Improvement.

Blown head gasket on 2010 Hyundai Elantra with 18,000 miles, no warnings, first smelled something burning then noticed engine covered with oil and oil dripping to the ground, did not overheat.
