| Description of the problem | Oil consumption. I continue to have a problem with this car. Consumes a quart of full synthetic oil every 3000 miles. I received paperwork about a clas action lawsuit which outlines the problem. It's ridiculous; they expect me to produce every receipt for the oil i've purchased over the last 3 years if i want to be reimbursed! Dealer still says it's "normal"; i have never had any car burn a quart of oil every 3000 miles regardless of make, age or condition. Naturally, every time this happens i'm on the road any from home so i have to add oil to ensure that i get home ok. Really getting perturbed with the lack of action from the dealer. Noticed you have info about the problem on your site but i have never heard anything about a recall from my dealer. |
