| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 chevy tahoe with 5. 3 liter engine. The motor has consumed 2 quarts oil since its last oil change. The vehicle currently has 83000 miles. It is serviced regularly. Chevrolet is well aware of this problem and needs to address it immediately. I am told by my local chevrolet dealership that it has repaired numerous vehicles because of the oil consumption issue. The cost to repair is between 300 and 3000 dollars. It might need new pistons and rings because of the faulty inexpensive part. Epic fail by chevy not to alert their customers of this problem. |
