Consumer Description

IN OCTOBER OF 08 MY 05 CADILLAC SRX BEGAN TO BUCK AND HESITATE EXTENSIVELY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD NO OIL IN IT. I PRODUCED MY RECEIPT THAT I HAD THE OIL CHANGED 730 MILES PREVIOUS. CAR HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT AND OUT OF WARRANTY! I HAVE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS (6 AT $800) EACH AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS CAR IS "KNOWN FOR BURNING OIL...WHICH LEADS TO THIS PROBLEM!". I NOW USE THREE QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 6000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES! CAR HAS 81,000 MILES AND COSTS ME ABOUT 2000 EVERY 6 MONTHS IN REPAIRS! *TR
