Consumer Description

ENGINE IS BURNING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED 5000 MILE OIL CHANGES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN AUGUST 2014. WHILE DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE DIP STICK TO FIND THAT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. AT THIS TIME I CHECKED FOR LEAKING OIL IN MY GARAGE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY. I ASSUMED THAT POSSIBLY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT PUT ENOUGH OIL IN THE VEHICLE DURING THE LAST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS ON 12/14/14. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I PULLED OVER REALIZED I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR AGAIN. STILL NO LEAKING FOUND IN MY GARAGE. I AM SURE IT HAD ENOUGH OIL IN IT AFTER THE LAST OIL CHANGE WHICH OCCURRED BETWEEN THE TWO INCIDENTS. AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THE VEHICLE TO BE SURE THAT IT HAD ENOUGH AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
