| Description of the problem | The vehicle is burning oil. There are no leaks anywhere on the engine components or on my garage floor. I have always checked my oil faithfully on all my vehicles as i go out of town once a month. When i got the vehicle brand new i immediately checked the fluid levels. The oil level was half way between the hash marks on the dip stick. Within a month and a half i noticed a decrease in the oil level. I have had the vehicle for 5 months and the oil level is barely above where the hash marks start. This is unacceptable. I reported this when they replaced my transmission valve body due to another issue. I was told the oil is within the hash marks and it is fine. It is not fine when a new vehicle is burning this much oil. I have read reports of the vehicle stalling being low on oil. I cannot have this happen to me going out of town. I have scheduled an appointment to have this addressed again because they did not document anything when i reported it to the dealer the first time. *dt updated 12/11/18*jb |
