Santa Fe Sport Sport 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

Daily driving at moderate speeds between 40 and 55 miles a hours. Consumes approximately 1 quart of oil per every 800 miles. No smoke comes from the exhaust and car has no oil leak issues that can be found or seen. I am familiar there is a class action lawsuit in process for this. This does seem to be a concerning issue.

I bought this Hyundai from a local dealer not knowing that it had a oil consumption problem. It is using about 1qt. of oil every 700 to 800 mile. From what I have be reading on the internet from the Hyundai dealers that this is normal. I don't believe that for a moment. If that were the case the only thing you would have to change every 3000 to 4000 miles on a oil change is the filter. I hope someone can fix this problem. By the way I like this car a lot!

Santa Fe Sport 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

When I bought the car I noticed it would be down a quart of oil every 3000 miles. Now that I have had the car for about a year and a half. I've noticed that it has gotten worse. I'm now at about a quart of oil every 1300 miles and Hyundai tells me to not fill the motor back up with oil so they can see how much oil I'm losing over 5000 miles and they want me to do this 3x so they can figure out where I'm losing oil. But I won’t do this as I will be out of oil before oil change is due and I'm not going to blow my motor just so they can get a ton of money out of me.
