2021 Hyundai Palisade Engine

This vehicle is still using the defective style piston rings causing oil consumption of 1.5qts in 1000miles, With only 100,000miles. This has been ongoing since we purchased the vehicle with 94,000 miles. This needs to be issued as a recall to replace piston rings or the engine entirely. My valuemax level 4 extended warranty is refusing to repair the issue stating hyundai/kia has carbon buildup on the piston rings. This engine could run low on oil and cause a fire, or a engine shut down causing a crash.

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING. PLASTIC PART IS WARPED AND DOES NOT ALLOW FILTER TO SEAL. LEAKING OIL IS A FIRE HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.

The engine is burning oil at a rapid rate. It's burning one liter every 70 miles.

Engine burning 6qts in less than 3k miles of driving. Aside from that, the engine light does not always illuminate to tell me it is low. Now i watch monthly and add oil as needed

I bought my vehicle almost 2 years ago with 30K miles on it. In December 2025, the car started stalling and wouldn’t run properly. I took it into the dealership and they stated that the engine was burning oil. This was at 90K miles. Hyundai refuses to fix the motor issue because I’m not the original owner. This issue would have started even before the 90K miles because the vehicle had almost used all its oil in between the normal oil change interval. They did a sludge clean and we checked the oil again after 1500 miles and it had already used over a quart of oil.

Oil filter housing leak. Does not impact oil levels but more notable during cold weather as the ring tends to shrink.

The engine failed due to excessive oil consumption/internal oil loss. The engine is currently installed in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. The issue began while the vehicle was under warranty and has progressed to the point where engine replacement has been recommended. Ongoing oil loss and engine malfunction created a risk of sudden engine failure or loss of power while driving, which could lead to stalling or reduced ability to safely control the vehicle. This presents a safety risk to the occupants and other motorists, especially at highway speeds. Yes. The issue was confirmed by an authorized Hyundai dealership through oil consumption monitoring, diagnostic testing, and inspection after the check engine light illuminated. Hyundai has acknowledged the problem by authorizing testing, attempting repairs, and recommending engine replacement. Yes. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealership, and the issue has been reviewed by Hyundai Motor America through warranty and goodwill claims submitted by the dealer. es. The first symptom was unexplained oil loss beginning at approximately 66,000 miles, with no visible external leak. Later, the check engine light illuminated, prompting further inspection and leading to the recommendation for engine replacement.

I started smelling coolant fumes in my vehicle. Upon inspecting the coolant reservoir, I noticed it was empty. Upon inspecting the radiator itself, I noticed that some of the coolant was leaking. Fumes associated with the leaked liquid touching hot parts in the engine were entering the vehicle cabin. I noticed there was a technical bulletin regarding this issue for Hyundai Palisades. I informed the dealer as well as Hyundai corporate. Despite the technical bulletin, both entities ignored my issue and said it was not covered under warranty. In addition to potentially impacting the engine (if the coolant runs out), I believe the fumes are toxic and pose a serious health risk to passengers. As this seems to be a well known problem, I believe it needs to result in a recall (and not a technical bulletin).

Engine consuming way to much oil. Did oil consumption test and it is going through a quart and half every 800 miles. Dealership is dragging there feet on getting this taken care. They put a solution in to see if that would fix it. Now it is eating oil more I have to put two quarts of oil in every week. There is no low oil indicator on this vehicle which is terrible so you have to check it or pay attention to the noise. The car runs so rough when it is low a quart and sometimes the engine stutters.

While driving after owning the car for only 2 months and before the next oil change was dure the car started surging and then died when turning a corner. No check engine light or any warning or error lights triggered on the car. The car was restarted and limped home slowly about 2 min from where I'd shut off. The hood was opened and oil lipstick checked to find no oil in the vehicle. Not oil leaks anywhere, no check oil or engine light and no error codes found by dealership. The dealership confirmed no oil leak and consumption issue, oil change done and have to return in another month to jump through hoops to get engine repaired as this is a consumption issue not a leak issue. Dealership is playing games with us around this and trying to get out of repairing the car. But internal engine issue was confirmed. Vehicle returned to us unrepaired to drive for 1000 miles and return for further review even though the issue was confirmed. This is a safety risk to me, and others on the road. Hyundai of Union County is the dealership playing games in getting this repaired. ,

We have brought the vehicle to Potamkin Hyundai on three separate occasions, [XXX] [XX], and [XXX], and [XXX] due to the engine stalling unexpectedly while driving. This issue has placed our family, including our children, in serious danger and has not been resolved. At our initial visits, we were informed that the engine was consuming excessive oil. However, during our most recent visit on August 5, 2025, we were told that the engine was full of oil and functioning properly, and that no error codes were present. Because they were unable to duplicate the issue, we were told we would need to pay out of pocket to tear down an already faulty engine which is unacceptable. Despite this, the vehicle shut off once again while driving, creating a hazardous situation that is completely unacceptable and life-threatening.

Engine is consuming too much oil causing oil light to come on and it continues to happen.

The engine failed due to oil consumption. The engine burns to much oil. It burns more oil than it holds during normal intervals between changes. It also did NOT give any oil lights or engine lights on the dash (not one indicator came on). When we took it in the service advisor told us the computer had indicated a problem, but that was for the technician.

Oil Consumption- Oil is being consumed at a rapid rate. Even when there is no oil in the vehicle, there are no lights that show up to signify low/empty oil. Once the oil is run dry, the car begins to make noises, can not accelerate, and jolts while driving. Oil must be checked every 2,000 miles.

This car is consuming oil rapidly.I checked oil level to and had no oil on dip stick The car has not bee inspected yet. No warning lamps came on to warn me of low oil.

My 2021 Hyundai Palisade has had some issues relating to the engine recently. We take extremely good care of our cars, and are early when due for our oil changes. A couple of months ago, my husband checked my Palisade's oil before a trip. There was NO oil showing on the dip stick! I had just gotten an oil change 2000 miles before. He added 6 quarts of oil, and it was still only showing half full. We brought it up to the dealer, and they did an oil change and $900 worth of replacing things that were not covered on the extended warranty. Last month, I drove it, and the engine light went on AGAIN. We brought it in, and they said there was no oil? We told them it is not leaking anywhere, but it might be burning off or slipping somewhere else. They did an oil change (which we had to pay for even though there was no oil) and told us to come back in 1,000 miles. We went back and they said it was burning over a half quart after 1,000 miles, but Hyundai won't do anything unless it burns more than 1 quart in that time. Then, 3 days later, my engine light comes back on, and here we are again. NO oil, not even 1,500 miles, and at the dealership again A WEEK LATER! This time, they are doing a combustion chamber cleaning? I understand there are procedures that need to happen, but this does not fix that my engine is burning my oil. 3 of my coworkers have had their engines replaced due to this issue of oil consumption and where it goes. This can cause my car to die on the side of the road, immediately, and combust! My family is at risk of being in the car, and so are others who drive around me if this happens. Why is Hyundai waiting for this to happen? This is completely negligent on their end!

My vehicle is using too much oil. I was between oil changes and my car did a safety shut down while I was driving on the busy highway with my grandchildren and left me like a sitting duck. I was finally able to get it off the middle of the highway by restarting the vehicle. My engine light was lit up. I parked it for 15 minutes and then restarted it and traveled the 40miles to home. The next day I took it to our local mechanic and he ran the code and it shut down for safety due to no oil in the vehicle. He added 4 quarts for me. 96033 was the mileage showing on my sticker for when the next oil change was due. My current mileage showed 94743 showing I still had 1290 miles before my next oil change was due. I have always used Swope Hyundai in Elizabethtown, KY for my vehicle service. I called and scheduled an oil consumption test. I did what they said and they said that it was an acceptable amount of oil loss per Hyundai standards. I am still over 1000 miles away from needing my oil change and my husband has been checking my oil for me about every 1000 miles. He stated that he has put in 5 quarts of oil in my vehicle since my last oil change. If he had not done this then I would have been left in a terrible situation again out on the road endangered of being crushed by semi trucks etc. when my vehicle would have shut down again for safety reasons to protect the engine. Why am I paying over 800 per month on a vehicle that is burning oil, I cannot trust and I work out of town 80 mile round trip and mane numerous trips to town for my grandchildren's activities. I need answers to this problem with immediate solutions. I love my vehicle but I do not love this oil consumption issue. I have researched and I do see that many of this type of vehicles both Hyundai and Kia have had issues.

Based upon Big Star Hyundai Repair Department’s assessment the engine failed because there was a miss fire in cylinder 6. They have been waiting on a new engine since July 2024. Our car has been at the dealership since 2024.

I've had several instances where the car didn't turn over and all technology screens began glitching, clicking and stating the key wasn't in the car. After a few tries, it would start up. Ice also experienced engine failure WHILE driving. The first time was at a stop light and the engine completely shut off and I had to park, and restart it. This has happened twice. When it did, all of the screens were glitching, flashing, lights came on/off, and then went black. The next time it happened, I was on the highway and it started to sputter, jerk (like it was running out of gas but I had over 1/4 tank).
