The vehicle started losing acceleration power so we took it in and was told the catalytic converter was bad and needed to be replaced at a total cost of $4,500. I explained to the service manager that the vehicle began consuming excessive amounts of oil. I explained that the vehicle was serviced by them and that I wasn’t paying that amount for a catalytic converter just for it to fail again due to a more deeper issue with the engine.

I would cut your losses now. I ate the negative equity on my Tucson after going through 3 catalytic converters in 6 months.
I purchased a 2019 Tucson the 32,000 miles on it in 2022 I have now went through my third catalytic converter it is back in the shop needless to say and they are saying again they've never seen these error codes.
I hit 213k miles on my 2013 accent today on my commute. Only thing I’ve had to replace other than routine maintenance was a catalytic converter in 2021.
Hyundai cheaps out on the weirdest stuff. Never had another cars cat fail this early.
Catalytic converter. They suck on Hyundai. You’re probably also noticing poor gas mileage or shit acceleration.
