Mechanic told me that the most likely reason was that the engine has issues related to failing crankshaft position sensor which triggered the check engine light. He further explained that the engine with this condition will have abnormal oil consumption. My experience is that is exactly what I wondered. No smoke in the exhaust, no oil leaks under the hood and no oil on the parking space at home nor work.  Mechanic recommended I take the car to Hyundai dealer in Folsom.  The service department there diagnosed my car and did not find fault with crankshaft position sensor but did find that there is a problem with timing mechanisms.  They also said that the engine has difficulty starting, which I never experienced in over 50,000 I have driven it, save the time of battery replacement about 2 years ago.  I decided to take my car back to my mechanic where he diagnosed it with timing issues.  The abnormal engine noise was accounted for as a link to timing. In the interim I drive a rental at the rate of about $65.00 /day.  I m in a quandary; if my mechanic repairs the timing issues, which may not be under warranty, does that invalidate the existing engine warranty? If I can get the warranty to cover the ongoing issues, we can save ourselves wasting time and money.  If safety concerns are a priority, which is not, then we cannot sacrifice safety in the interest of celerity.  In the meantime, my family are in the crossroads and I cannot accept that.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"SANTA FE","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
