Consumer Description

AFTER HAVING THE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR REPLACED DUE TO THE RECALL, I NOTICED MY CAR WAS BURNING A LOT OF OIL BUT THERE WAS NO LEAK. MY CAR WOULD BE OUT OF OIL 1,800 MILE PRIOR TO ME NEXT OIL CHANGE AND I WOULD NEED TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO MY CAR. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OIL SEEPAGE IN THE TIMING CHAIN AREA WHICH IS A $3,500 REPAIR. THE MORE I RESEARCH, THE MORE I'M FINDING THAT PEOPLE ARE STATING THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL PERFORMED.
