Description of the problem	Hyundai tucson engine the vehicle is burning excess amounts of oil. The rate of engine oil loss is over one quart per 500 miles. My mechanic tells me his evaluation is the vehicle's turbo unit causes the engine to run very hot, and the internal seals are breaking down, causing oil to mix with the fuel. The solution is an engine rebuild, which will cost over $3,000. Such a rebuild will result in the same issue arising again after the vehicle is in use for a period of time. The manufacturer has refused to address the issue, as i have corresponded with them about it. The issue is generic to all hyundai tucsons with 1. 6 litre turbocharged engine. My mechanic has researched the issue, and says it occurs in all hyundai tucson vehicles with this engine configuration. There are other issues related to build quality, transmission, and other components, but this issue of the defective engine design is obviously the most important. The dealer that sold me this vehicle knew of this condition and did not disclose it at the time of sale, and represented that the engine was in sound working order. dtjb
