All:
First time poster, but I think it’s important we have a thread on an issue that seems to be percolating with the Palisade. As the title suggests, I have an excessive oil consumption issue.
The problem started approximately 9,000 miles with a check engine light and some misfiring. Took to dealer and they advised me to change oil. Fine, that’s what we did. They also said come back at 14,000 for another change. So, that’s what I did.
At 14,000, I got another oil change and was told it was a little low. But, didn’t seem to be enough to warrant concern and not enough to notate on the file. Fast forward about 3,500 miles.
At 17,500, check engine light, misfires, and stalling out at every stop sign and traffic light. This is a family car with small children/infants that my wife is taking around town. Stalling out at every stop with family in tow is clearly a major problem in our household.
Take it in to dealer. Turns out, it’s 4.5 quarts low after 3,500 miles. Well, that certainly doesn’t seem to be within the band of any reasonable oil burn rate I have ever heard of for anything with a combustion engine on this planet. Nevertheless, the dealer swears theirs hands are tied and they have to start the oil consumption test.
I’m told to bring it back every 1,000 miles for the next 3,000 miles. They will check the level and send the results off to the bean counters at Hyundai corporate so that somebody that doesn’t have their family on the road in a stalling vehicle can determine whether this safety hazard actually has a problem or not.
So, today was the first 1,000 mile. Took it in and it is 3.5 quarts low after only 1,000 miles.
Are they fixing it? No. I’ve still got to go through this corporate protocol. I did call the 1-800 number and open a case file. But, that hasn’t fixed my car yet.
Curious what other similar problems folks have had. This has become an unusable $50K piece of metal at the moment.
