Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2006 CADILLAC CTS INTO A GM DEALER FOR A RECALL. THEY ALSO CHANGED THE OIL. EVER SINCE THEY CHANGED THE OIL, MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. I HAD TO PUT A QUART OF OIL OR MORE ABOUT EVERY 500 MILES. I PUT IN 1 1/2 QUARTS ON A WEDNESDAY AND ON A MONDAY MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. GM WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME AND NOW MY CAR PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. I HAVE BABIED THE CAR AND THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. OIL IS IN THE CAR AT ALL TIMES AND IT SHOULD NOT THROW A ROD WITH OIL. *TR
