With that much oil burning (10-12 qts. per/year), the Catalytic converter(s) & O2 sensors must be in rough shape.

Hey Scotty, can you please answer this question in the next video? My 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport has trouble starting. It blows white smoke while running, I believe I need to replace the piston rings. Has over 200,000 miles on it. When I attempt to start it, it spits and sputters and then eventually cranks up. I believe it’s a fuel injection problem. Do you think it could be anything different?

It's a shame about the oil burning issue on these 2.4L GDI engines. I test drove a 2011 Sonata SEL and an SE when they first came out. I was very impressed with both. Solid cars. From my understanding, the engine issue aside, they're quite reliable. Also, remember Toyota had oil burning issues on various models 15-20yrs ago.

[@pandaant]

You know, something interesting about these cars (that you most likely already knew) is that the GDI pump is mechanical. It’s run off of an extra lobe on the cam shaft, and that lobe pushes a plunger, which allows the gas to be fed to the injectors. Pretty cool!

As you said, if you don't get the right advice, go somewhere else. Good luck in your search of a competent mechanic or shop, my neighbor has a 2010 Altima, yes it's all rusted because of the road salt used here in Montreal, but he drives it, his son and daughter drive it as well. The car is rarely sitting in the driveway. So if the engine and related components are still good than keep it.

[@kuruptzZz]

I don't see what's wrong with that. Sometimes the manufacturer is the only one with the knowledge to diagnose a random issue, or is the only one able to source a part. And not everything there is a ripoff. I used to do all my oil changes at the honda dealer on my old accord. And they would charge me $80, which is a good price for synthetic. But unlike random mechanics, they would also top up all my fluids, do a general inspection and let me know if something is going soon

I'm in the same boat with my Kia Soul. It's not a GDi engine, it gets 35mpg on average, I do highway driving almost exclusively, so my aim is to keep up on the oil changes, monitor for burning oil, and just keep the sucker running.

[@rbiddy5893]

Hey @ScottyKilmer...it is probably worth mentioning that if you are considering a used Hyundai or Kia to at least check the VIN or do some online research to see if it is one that has been recalled for potential engine failure or fire risk. Not saying they all have problems (so chill Hyundai/Kia fans) but just saying given the company's recent history with major engine issues that it is worth taking a couple minutes to check

I drove a v6 Kia Sorento, not the GDi, to deliver food for 3 years. It didn’t burn oil, but it couldn’t handle me turning the car on and shutting the engine off so many times. The flywheel was too worn at 192,000 miles for my car to keep going. I got 117,000 working miles out of it because the flywheel broke before the starter did. After the 120,000 mile mark, it absolutely was not worth keeping. It got very expensive after that.

[@midiaz1319]

I made an appointment for my daughters 2022 Rav first oil change @ 5,200 miles and they told her that it was not due, to wait 10K miles. First oil change @10k, no way. I went to the dealer bought the Toyota original oil and filter and made the Oil change myself. I was doing this since the car was new but I will change it every 5k and document it on the oil receipt from Toyota. Date, miles etc. Can't rely on no one and there are some things that are better off being done by yourself.

@@mcc7762 a-yup. At 5k, I came in and said “I’d like my oil changed now rather than at 10k.” Service rep said “Ok, this one will count as your 10k.” No problem, again, me watching them like a hawk doing it the entire time.

[@WeWuzKangzNsheeet]

@@midiaz1319 huh, odd. My local toyota dealer did it at 5k and 10k and counted it as the 10k and 20k oil change with no issue. Car now has 35k and have been doing my own oil changes AFTER the 10k mark. That was the only time a dealer has ever touched my vehicle outside of warranty work or recalls.

[@WeWuzKangzNsheeet]

@@midiaz1319 Also, no need to buy the OEM ones from the dealer. Walmart (if you’re in NA) has them for wayyyyy cheaper. I buy the oem filter from walmart and then usually wait for good deals on the oil so it’s both with a discount from the store and manufacturer discount. My last oil change on our 2019 Highlander cost me $28 dollars to do. Full synthetic 0-20w Oil and oem toyo filter.

I can't believe that is in spec.

She was driving to the dealership because of it and it stalled on the way there. Incredible that this is found acceptable.

Still I doubt that this car has never gotten any suspension work at 169.000miles that's 271.000km. Here in Germany some MOT tester would have said that struts or anything is worn and unsafe. At least that would be on German roads and working in a dealership usally any suspension work has to be done at 140.000km/86.000miles doesn't really matter which brand I guess.

Do the tail lights work? I swear damn near every Hyundai I see has no brake lights except the 3rd light in the window😂😂

[@miastrong151]

I had a short in one of my taillights (‘12 Sorento) because you have to take the whole taillight assembly out to change the bulb and this degrades the wires. A new harness will fix the short, but a new car is probably a better solution, lol.

[@RedEyeC]

I guess I am the sole person ALIVE in this country that has had 4 (yes FOUR) Korean cars in the last 20 YEARS (Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul+, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Kona) - stretching from 2002 until now - WITH ZERO (0) PROBLEMS / Issues. Each car I bought new - drove over 120K (except for the '21 Kona that we still own with 37K on the odometer) - the latter 3 cars each had 1 (one) car battery, one (1) set of tires and scheduled maintenance by the book. IN 20 YEARS I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER - AT ALL. Oh, I forgot to mention, I did have to replace a rear turn signal bulb on the Forte - that set me back $1.50.

[@jp1087]

I've had 3 myself, all purchased brand new. 2007 Entourage, 2008 Elantra, now a 2020 Santa Fe. The Entourage had the most issues, with 1 warranty issue for body mounts, and 1 mechanical repair for the front valve cover gasket & alt replacement. I sold that after 14 years with 170k on the odo, and it was still smooth. The Elantra had zero issues, and the Santa Fe has zero issues. The thing with Hyundai is you can buy a lifetime powertrain warranty and lifetime bumper-bumper warranty for pretty cheap. And the warranties cover a lot more than you would expect.

[@davidphillips4706]

I've been buying Hyundai/Kia since 2002, and not a single issue. There have been a few recalls that were covered items. I have a 2020 Tucson Ultimate, it's my retirement car. No issues to date

@@RedEyeC You want to see just how good they can get?? Find yourself a Genesis dealer (sometimes they are with Hyundai) and take a look at the GV70.....it is one outstanding SUV, priced right and beats it's competitors easily, the kicker is that it's $20,000 less than most of it's competitors.

Hey Scotty great content I’ve been watching for years, I was looking into buying a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with about 79,000 miles it’s a Sport 2.0T with a 4 cylinder turbo engine. Is the car overall reliable? And, is the engine reliable?

[@The_Hyundai_Guy]

I have a 2011 Sonata with the 2.4L. Bought it for $3,000 with 122,000 miles. It has 250,000 miles now. The original engine finally went at 218,000. I put a used engine in for $3,000. Still has the original transmission that operates perfectly. There were times I had to put two or more quarts of oil in the original engine, and it STILL wouldn’t stop running. The only reason I had to put an engine in it was the tip of spark plug #2 had broken off somehow and put a hole in the piston. These are great cars. I’ll get another one when I drive the wheels off of this one.

[@Tommyboy11594]

I'm surprised that engine even made it that far without blowing up. Those 2.4 motors are well known for blowing up much earlier then that. My mom's 2014 Kia Sportage just started knocking at 92k miles and it never even burned oil. But warranty will get her a new motor free of charge hopefully.

[@rogervigulaboy]

Sell it as soon as you get the new engine since you will get a lot for it.

[@Dierr0r]

Lucky

[@pandaant]

The replacement motors are better. It also depends on where the engine was made. If it was built in Korea, like I suspect this one was, it will definitely last longer.

[@Dierr0r]

My 2.4L Theta II GDI (Sonata GLS 2011) does NOT burn oil (or if it does, it is so little that I do not notice between oil changes). I use CRC Valve cleaner, I change the oil every 6000 miles w synthetic, nothing else.

Whats your opinion on the 2019 kia Sorento?, Anyone can answer, please give useful information mainly on major issues

[@SilverCello]

Hi Scotty! I've been a Hyundai owner for years-mainly because of affordability. I went from Accemts to Sonatas. I currently own a 2018 Sonata that has been a basic well-functioning car EXCEPT for two recent tune-ups in the past two years. The last tune-up I had done at Mavis for $800! I did not want to risk driving the car to a garage at my job's location for fear of doing damage to the engine. With car prices so high I'm going to try to stick with this until the bubble bursts. Hopefully I can make it to the end of my loan with only two years left. As you say, it's an oil burner but I try to keep a vigilant eye on the oil.

[@ethanhoff7772]

How much oil do you burn

[@SilverCello]

@@ethanhoff7772 I certainly cannot make every 3k miles. I have to check the oil once a week. In 5 days I can go through a quart of oil.

It’s supposed to be free under extended lifetime warranty??? Because of the lawsuit settlement.

[@Lord_Mecca]

@@zabryant01 I'm the second owner so the powertrain warranty does not transfer to a second only the 5-year 60 transfers to a second owner

[@zabryant01]

@@Lord_Mecca the lifetime warranty lawsuit settlement has nothing to do with being a second owner and not the original neither does the mileage. As long as the product improvement campaign recall was done which all it is a computer update and programming a upgraded knock sensor which theoretically is supposed to kick the car into limp mode so you can limp it to a dealer for repair. Usually doesn’t happen that way it blows up. There’s many people that have bought their Hyundai and Kia’s used and it not be a certified pre-owned car and they still get covered because it’s a lawsuit settlement Hyundai and Kia agreed to in the courts so long that recall has been done then those engines have an extended lifetime warranty for rod bearing failure specifically (which is the failure that almost always happens).
