Consumer Description
"BURNING OIL" WE PURCHASED THE CAR AT THURSTON AUTO IN UKIAH CA. IT HAS BURNED EXCESSIVE OIL FROM DAY ONE. IT BURNS 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES. HONDA TOLD ME THAT IS COMMON FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINES. THURSTON CONDUCTED THEIR OWN TEST AND DID FIND THE ENGINE WAS BURNING 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THEY SAID THE WOULD PUT A NEW ENGINE IN BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF. THIS WAS MY DAUGHTERS FIRST CAR PURCHASE AND FEELS SHE WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. SHE WENT ON HER OWN TO PURCHASE THE CAR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. SHE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO SAVE THE MONEY FOR A NEW ENGINE.
