Consumer Description

MY ENGINE HAS NO LEAKS OF OIL YET RAN OUT OF ALL BUT 1 QT, AND CAUSED MY TO GET SPUN BEARINGS, AND NOW ENGINE IS RUINED. THIS IS LESS THAN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS EVER CAME ON SAYING I WAS LOW ON ANYTHING. ALSO JUST HAD MAJOR FLUIDS ALL CHANGED IN CAR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. IT IS OVER THE 100,000 WARRANTY SO NOW I HAVE TO GET A NEW ENGINE. LOOKING TO SEE IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER OWNERS. THE ENGINE IS THE V6 ENGINE, THE SMALLER ENGINE WAS RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, YET MINE WASNT IN THE RECALL.
