| Description of the problem | Vehicle while driven made an alert ping when making left and right hand turns with no other indicator. Following day vehicle completely shut down while driving on the interstate at 55 mph with oil pressure indicator illuminated as well as multiple errors about placing vehicle in drive and shifting (although vehicle is an automatic). Dealership contacted and vehicle brought in for inspection. Dealer concluded that engine had no oil, although internal indicators failed to advise and showed vehicle had 17% oil life remaining and 300 miles until scheduled oil change. Dealer advised that vehicle is known to burn oil at a rate of 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles, however, this was not consistent with when the previous oil change had occurred, when asked why vehicle burns oil at such a rate, was advised it is normal and not to worry about it. Several other people have complained and reaction from dealership varied from it was normal to may be an issue with the engine. |
