Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE IS BURNING 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THOROUGHLY, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE CITY. I VERY RARELY TAKE IT ON AN INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ON MY DRIVEWAY, PARKING SPOT AT WORK, OR ON THE UNDERNEATH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
