This car overconsumes oil rapidly. I have always taken it for oil changes when due. I put hardly any miles on my car (10k or less annually) and every time I take it for an oil change they say it is extremely low. The oil light never comes on to alert me that it is low. About a week or two ago it started making a clicking noise and it was due for an oil change so I took it for one and the technician said that this is a common issue with Hyundai cars and that there is permanent engine damage due to the overconsumption of oil. I am only halfway through paying this car off and it will cost as much as it is worth to repair it.

I am writing to you as the owner of a 2019 Hyundai Accent, which has recently experienced severe engine issues including low compression in three cylinders, sludge build-up, and eventual engine failure. It has come to my attention that these issues are not isolated incidents but are rather indicative of a systemic problem with Hyundai Accent models of this year. As you are undoubtedly aware, numerous reports and complaints have surfaced regarding similar engine failures and defects in the 2019 Hyundai Accent. These issues have not only caused significant inconvenience and financial burden to individual owners like myself, but they also pose serious safety concerns. Given the widespread nature of these problems, it is evident that they are not mere anomalies but rather result from inherent flaws in the design or manufacturing process of the vehicles. As such, I am firmly of the belief that these issues should be addressed as part of a Hyundai class action lawsuit.
