Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A STRANGE SOUND, SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY. THEY DISCOVERED THAT I WAS OUT OF OIL- THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NO OBVIOUS OIL LEAKS, AND THE OIL LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON. DUE TO THIS, EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS FOUND THROUGH OUT THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. *JB
