| Description of the problem | Excessive engine oil use. Oil blows out of the tail pipe. The buildup for oil residue at the tail pipe makes me very concerned about the possibility of a fire. Went through the local dealer was told there was no problem or oil use. Had the local mechanic look at it and he found excessive oil consumption. Now here we are with a defective engine and a complete lack of trust in the car either mechanically or for safety. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
