We've already suffered through premature engine failure. The "fix" was to replace the engine with a refurbished block and install new pistons and other components. The car burned through oil leading up to premature engine failure and continues to burn oil after the fix - even though at a lesser rate. Now I'm getting a P0402 code, bank 1 on the manifold which surely has to do with oil consumption and the catalytic converter. An additional surprise is that the car occasionally won't go into reverse or forward moving gears despite the shift selector moving. The backup camera will engage, the instrument panel indicates a different gear, but the car acts like it's still in neutral.
If Hyundai knows their cars burn oil outside of the normal bounds, shouldn't they cover the replacement of the catalytic converter? I've read in some forums that unplugging the sensor plug from the manifold relieves this issue indicating a problem with the catalytic converter. Others have suggested that it's a bad shift interlock solenoid or wiring issue. In the meantime, the dealership tells me they can't reproduce the issue, they clear the engine light, and send me back home with it. All the while we move closer and closer to the expiration of the extended warranty we purchased through Allstate. Does anyone else have experience with these issues?
