"at 103000 miles spare plug broke off and damaged cylinder. hyundai replaced with new engine at 90% i had to play $800"
Anonymous, NY (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""Extremely high oil consumption, oil light coming on due to low oil on board, increased frequency of oil change. Described as a known issue, warranty claim was submitted and honored, engine was replaced.""
Anonymous, (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The engine just gave out while driving on a highway. It needed to be towed to a dealer and the engine replaced under warranty."
Anonymous, MN (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"It was using too much oil - did a consumption service. Hyundai decided to replace engine with minor costs to me."
Anonymous A., IL (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"burnt alot of oil 1 qt per 500 miles"
Anonymous, (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Hyundia had to replace our Engine due to a failure of their part. No cost to me for the replacement"
Anonymous, TX (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""Exhaust valve in turbo engine suddenly failed at 63,000 miles. Car not drivable until repaired. Has been burning more oil this past year. These problems now seem to be associated with the turbo engines at this age/mileage. Repair was covered by the power train warranty. Unfortunately my time and effort to get it to a dealership in another city was not!""
Anonymous, LA (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)""Burning oil, have to add quarts of oil every 3 - 4 weeks""
Anonymous, NY (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"At 70,818 miles (6,431 mi. driven and 8 mo. since prior oil change), there was no oil on dipstick prior to oil change. At next oil change 74,736 mi. (3,918 mi. driven and 4 mo.), engine was about 1 qt. low. At 80,144 mi. (5408 mi. driven and 8 mo.), there was no oil on dipstick. Dealership performed oil consumption test at 85,000 mi. Oil consumption was determined to be 1 1/4 quarts in 1,000 mi. Hyundai regards states normal consumption is up to 1 qt. every 1,000 mi. Because I am not the original owner of this car, the 100,000 mi. powertrain warranty does not apply. My usual mechanic says engines on Hyundais like mine are failing at around 100,000 mi.; this excess oil consumption is a problem Hyundai is aware of. I plan to trade this car in the next few weeks for a used Toyota or Honda."
Anonymous A., MO (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""Engine started consuming a lot of oil over last 6 - 8 months, then it started idling rough, and the engine light came on. I checked the error code and it shows misfire on 2 of the 4 cylinders...presumably this is one of the situations of the Theta engine failures involved in the class action suit.""
Anonymous A., BC (2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Excessive oil consumption resulted in turbo being replaced. Engine still excessively consumes oil after replacing the turbo."

"Rough running and excess oil burn for 2 years. Took over a year for Hyundai to approve engine replacement."
