Description of the problem | I have 115000 miles on my 2. 0 engine. Its is always serviced 5-6k synthetic oil. The service man told me 3 months ago something is wrong. All his oil was eaten up in under 5k. He said this engine is faulty nd he has seen this many times on the hyundai. I received a letter 2 weeks ago saying hyundai had engine issues and a recall would happen. My car is bone dry and corporate said not warrantied. I opened a case# 18042071.
