Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY VEHICLE, WHEN I FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED MAKING SOME NOISES AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS , UNTIL I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS LOW ON OIL, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND THE FEE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 YEARS AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS ASTRONOMICAL, SEEMS LIKE I HAVE TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 2 MONTHS AND I HAVE TO ADD OIL SEEMS LIVE EVERY 1000 MILES, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, WITH THE 2011 GMC TERRAIN AND I THINK THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR FIX THE PROBLEM, I JUST GO AN OIL CHANGE 11/2017 AND WAS LOW ON OIL 12/2017, SO I HAD TO ADD OIL AGAIN, UNTIL IT IS TIME TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGE. NOW MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL AND SO I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAMSHAFTS FIXED 2 TIMES, THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM NOT RICH, BUT I HAVE TO INCUR THE CHARGE. I STILL HAVE 5 YEARS LEFT TO PAY THIS CAR OFF. I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY CONCERN WITH THIS VEHICLE.
