Description of the problem	I was driving in another city and my car went into limp mode. I had it towed to nearby dealer and they said i was low in oil, after having it changed an month before. They did oil consumption test and found it to be 1 quart per 1000 miles and left there and 2 months later had another consumption test done after seeing my car was one in the class action on engine and bearings. They found this one to be 1. 1 qts per 1000 miles. Dealer said no way will they send info to get a new engine under warranty. A qt a 1000 miles seems very excessive. Dealer said that you need to be at 1. 5 qt per 1000 which would be almost no oil when i go have an oil change. The vehicle is only 3 years old and 100000 miles. This seems like too much oil to be burnt. And they know they have engine issues and will not rectify
