Your engine is misfiring, which means one or more cylinders aren't firing properly. A fuel injector may be stuck open, spraying too much fuel into that cylinder and washing fuel into your engine oil. This could lead to cylinder damage and compression loss if left unaddressed. The repair will likely involve replacing the faulty fuel injector and checking the cylinder condition.

FOR A WEEK (JULY 4-11, 2015) I RENTED A SANTA FE SPORT SUV FROM NATIONAL AT HOBBY AIRPORT IN HOUSTON, TX. ONLY AFTER DRIVING IT DURING THE WEEK DID I DISCOVER THE WORST PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR ' IT HAD A PREDOMINANT TENDENCY TO HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY WHEN A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WAS TO BE EXECUTED AT THE SAME TIME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH A REAL POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
