Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA 3.5L LS WITH APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES IN OCTOBER 2009. BETWEEN OIL CHANGES MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING OUT OIL 2-3 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES). I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS ISSUES CORRECTED. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A CLOGGED SENSOR AND CHANGED IT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL BURNING BETWEEN 2 - 3 QUARTS. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3K MILES. THE OIL LIGHT DOES COME ON TO ALERT ME WHEN I AM LOW. I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE IS GOING TO SEIZE UP. I WANT TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN BUT THE LAST 3 TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT THERE THEY HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FINDING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER WITH THIS DEALERSHIP FOR APPROXIMATELY 17 YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY OTHER GM PRODUCTS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. *TR
