Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 EQUINOX IT'S GOT 146,000 MILES . I AM FAITHFUL WITH OIL CHANGES AND LAST WEEK WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHANGED I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE HAD NO OIL. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED ON THE DAY PRIOR. I WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ANY LEAKS. SO AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FIND THERE IS A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, HOWEVER SINCE MY MILES ARE I'VE 120,000 I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! MY CAR COULD HAVE BURNT UP BECAUSE MY LIGHT NEVER INDICATED A PROBLEM AND GM NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF HE ISSUES!
