Business ProfileforMcCarthy Blue Springs Hyundai

I recently purchased a Hyundai Tucson for my daughter to drive back and forth to college. The vehicle had a little over 80k miles when we purchased it over the summer. Over the next 6 months we have had the car in the shop 6x all for the same reason, the engine is burning oil at an excessive rate (it’s completely out of oil in less than 1000 miles). Shame on us for not doing more homework but apparently this is a very well known issue with Hyundai and Kia engines and they have had to go to the extreme of complete engine replacements under warranty in many cases. Check for yourself with a simple google search. If that’s not bad enough, they make you repair all of the downstream problems caused by the engine issues (eg oil consumption tests, clogged catalytic converter, clean injectors, etc) to the tune of thousands of dollars before the mfg or the dealer will do anything to stand behind their product. Our car has now been in the shop for 3 weeks and we’ve made 0 progress towards resolving the engine issue and have been told there’s nothing else they can do. My recommendation, do your homework and don’t buy a Hyundai! You will be glad you didn’t make the same mistake as me.
