AS I CONTINUED TO TO HAVE ISSUES WITH MY ENGINE BURNING TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL, I WAS GIVEN A CASEWORKER FROM HYUNDAI CORPORATE THAT WILL NO LONGER RETURN MY CALLS. I HAVE WENT THROUGH ALL THREE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND THEY HAVE SEEN THAT EVERY 1,000 MILES MY ENGINE NO LONGER HAS ANY OIL. THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON FOR SOME REASON. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD OKAY NOW JUST WAIT UNTIL IT MAKES A NOISE AND THE LIGHT COMES ON.

I WAS TOLD BY A DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVE THAT AFTER THE THIRD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, IF MY ENGINE WAS UNDER THE RECALL GUIDELINES THEN IT WOULD BE REPLACED.
