ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
From April of 2020 to July of 2021. I have had 3 sets of 3 oil consumption tests for my car at 3 different Hyundai dealerships. I have spent $400-500 dollars on oil changes, oil filter cleaning, and fixing an oil peg that was broke. Which was not brought to my attention right away even though I was going to dealer ships almost every month this year. I just finished the final oil consumption test here in Conroe, Texas. Even though from the latest oil consumption tests, I have burnt .50-1 full quart of oil. They still have denied me an engine replacement. My oil changes does not last 5k miles but barely 1k. The oil is always black, it never is honey gold for long . Because Hyundai is not giving me a new engine to resolve this issue despite all these tests and there being a lawsuit on this make /model. I now have to pay for an oil change every month rather than the average of 2 times a year. I do feel treated unfairly and not heard by Hyundai. It does not feel right to not have this fixed. I understand it is out of warranty . Can I please open an investigation on this matter ? Thank you

Potential Consequences:
I received Hyundai's Recall notice for Recall Campaign 198 regarding premature connecting rod bearings. I scheduled a service appointment at First Hyundai at 270 E Washington St, North Attleborough, MA 02760. (508) 699-4700 for April 29th, 2021. My car's engine started making noises on April 24th, 2021. I stopped the vehicle and had it towed to First Hyundai (listed above). The dealership took more than 7 days to inspect the vehicle and diagnosed it as connecting rod failure requiring a new engine. I contacted Hyundai customer service to arrange for "alternate transportation". Hyundai assigned me a case manager on 5/18/2021, but despite multiple phone calls and messages, I was not able to actually speak to my case manager until 5/25/2021. Hyundai refused to authorize alternate transportation prior to this, and when I spoke to my case manager she would only authorize reimbursements up to $30.00 per day for a Hyundai rental vehicle and $20.00 per day for a non-Hyundai vehicle. I have been unable to secure alternate transportation from Hyundai, as there are no rental vehicles available at the prices Hyundai is willing to reimburse me for. It has now been more than 60 days, and my dealer has notified me that there will be further delays, even though they have received all of the necessary parts to repair my vehicle. I have kept extensive notes of the more than 25 phone calls I have made to both Hyundai and the First Hyundai dealership regarding this issue. At this point, I need assistance forcing Hyundai to honor the recall agreement they made.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The 2016 MY Sonata has been driven all across the state due to business. During a recent trip of a couple hundred miles, upon returning home, the vehicle shuddered and failed the next day. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer, and was to be diagnosed. It took longer than expected, and upon calling back to determine the issue, they said the "engine was gone." They reached out to Hyundai corporate and were told the same thing. There were no other signs or symptoms, and the vehicle operated normally during the long trip home.
