| Description of the problem | The engine cunsumes oil at a very high rate! Told 1 quart every 1,000 by the dealership! In august 2013 while driving on a highway i had a rod baring snap and shoot metal chips into the oil pan at 52,000, the whole engine locked up and needed replaced. On may 7th 2016, again driving on the highway at 56,000 miles on the new engine, same exact thing rod baring snapped, metal hips into the oil pan, engine locked up and needed replace! The dealership inspected the oil pan and i was told there was absolutely no neglect on my part! I always has the oil changed between 3,000-5,000 miles.. I was told by the dealership this is a common issue. I can not believe this engine has not been totally recalled!! |
