| Description of the problem | Our vehicle is consuming an entire tank of oil under 1,000 miles of driving. The engine must have something wrong with it, but the dealership insists the engine is normal. They agree the problem is bad but take no responsibility for the engine. The suv runs weaker than normal with less power than when we bought it 2 years ago now. It is driven less than 40 miles a day for work commute and consumes oil at an astounding rate. While i know there is some type of engine recall for this model and year i am confused as to why our vehicle is not being taken care of as it should be. |
