Consumer Description

I HAD A 2001 CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. IT USED 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES. AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER AND GM I WAS FORCED TO FILE A LAWSUIT WHICH WAS HEARD BY AN ARBITRAITOR. I WAS AWARDED FULL MSRP VAULE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE GM MAINTAINED THEIR POSITION THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG EVEN AFTER FAILING THEIR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I NOW HAVE A 2002 2500 SUBURBAN WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE IN THE 2001 1500 SUBURBAN HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM !!! DEALER STILL REFUSES TO REFUND EXTENDED WARRANTY MONIES . *JB
