What owners report
The break light came on. The local garage says I need a new master cylinder, and the dealer I purchesed the car from will not verify an extended warantee item or silent recall. This master cylinder part is all over the the internet as defective on multiple years.
This car burns through gas at an unbelievable rate. I have read that this is a common problem and Hyundai needs to address the problem - and REPAIR it - for all affected owners. I have about 75,000 miles and the problem has been ongoing for over a year. I have to add oil every week and if I forget, it is all burned up within 2 weeks.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION = ENGINE FAILURE + NO WARRANTY HONORER
I have to check my oil every other day. For some reason my car is sucking up all the oil and I donât believe I should be putting oil in it every other day.
Oil consumption is bad and I keep getting an oil change every month and a half
