Equus

  • 28,000 miles
2016 Hyundai Equus - black soot being emitted from engine through exhaust system. Very heavy deposits on rear of vehicle, sufficient to blacken clothes, discolor the vehicle, does not wipe off after a few days and chemicals must be used to remove. Manufacturer says: "this is a normal byproduct of the gdi engine". see (pics) multiplying the number of Hyundai vehicles in the U.S. by what I am seeing on my car, this could be a serious air pollution issue.
