Description of the problem	January 17, 2020, i am still under the excessive oil consumption testing. I went to the dealership as they told me to on dec. 30 2019, i met my 1000 miles, it was down 1 qt. Of oil. The dipstick is 'sealed' to the electric harness, they claim it will not catch on fire. Hopefully it won't. So far with the testing, the oil is down 1 quart every 1000 miles, the engine only holds abt. 5 1/4 quarts of oil. The manufacturer recommends oil change every 7500 miles. The service tech said they are having excessive oil consumption problems with the 2. 0 and 2. 4 engines, i have a 2. 4 engine. This vehicle is scary, i feel unsafe driving it, it may catch on fire. Service tech told me it will take a total of 4 sealed dipstick testing, i have two more to go.
