Description of the problem	I have had this car for a little over a year and it has been full of recalls, some i have been told of, some i have not. This is a recent event, i got my oil changed at the usual shop and about 1000 miles before i was due (i get it every 3-4,000 miles) i was completely out of oil. I than took it to my local shop and they couldn't find any leaks or issues but warned me there is a recall for my car burning oil, which i was not told by hyundai. I took it too the dealership where my warranty is through and they did an oil change for me and told me to come back in 1000 miles. I went to the beach, was about 300 miles from my 1000 mile goal and i was again completely out of oil. I put a quart in and took it back to them and i was even out than but they refused to fix it because i had added oil on my own (so my engine wouldn't run with no oil). They are still unsure of what has caused this oil burning or how much oil my car is burning.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
