Consumer Description

MY MONTANA HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED AT A CERTIFIED GM USED CAR LOT AT LINDSEY CHEVEROLET. IT HAS BEEN BURING THROUGH AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL OR MORE WITH-IN LESS THEN 700 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED FOR LEAKS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY. THERE IS NO SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE OR TAIL PIPE. THERE IS NO LEAKS ON THE ENGINE ANYWHERE OR AT THE OIL PAN. THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE BROWSED THE WEB AND HAVE FOUND OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2000 PONTIAC MONTANA. I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ON OIL LIKE IT IS GOING OUT OF STYLE. IS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM OR CAN ANYONE ELSE HELP ME.
