Description of the problem	Ever since we bought this vehicle, about every 2,000 miles the engine oil seems to vanish, and i have to add about a quart. I run through about 7 quarts a year. When i bought the car, i asked the dealer why the oil dipstick indicated the oil level was way above the full level. The dealer just said it must have been filled too much in the last oil change. I think it was over filled so i wouldn't notice it leaking out until a few months after i bought the car. I have to keep a spare quart in the car at all times. If the dashboard warning light ever fails, i'm worried i could seize the engine.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
