Consumer Description

OIL CONSUMPTION. VOLKSWAGEN SAYS "YOUR OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES" WELL I HAVE A JETTA AND HAVE RUN OUT OF OIL COMPLETELY EMPTY 3 TIMES UNDER 3000. I AM CURRENTLY UNDERGOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION WITH VOLKSWAGON. AT THIS POINT I AM AT 3000 MILES AND I AM 2 1/2 QUARTS LOW AND STILL HAVE 2000 MILES TILL I HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, NO OIL ON THE ENGINE. IT IS BASICALLY JUST DISAPPEARING ON ME. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT ON TO THIS, I COULD HAVE BLOWN THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAULT. ONCE VOLKSWAGON STUDIES MY OIL CONSUPTION STUDY THEY WILL DETERMINE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE HAD IT WITH VOLKSWAGON. I FEEL AS IF I LIVE THERE. I AM THERE MORE THAN I AM AT HOME WITH ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. (SLAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION, FEELS AS IF BREAKS WON'T CATCH TO STOP, BROKEN CONSULT, RIP IN SEAT SEAMS, REPLACEMENT OF SIDE DOOR PANELS BECAUSE OF PEELING, BROKEN BACK ASHTRAY, PIECE OF SUN ROOF BROKEN OFF HIT ME IN HEAD). *AK
