Consumer Description

THE CAR CONSUMES COOLANT AT A RATE OF ABOUT 3-4 QUARTS IN THE 5 MONTHS I'VE OWNED IT. I NOTICED IT WHILE CHANGING THE OIL. I AM AWARE THAT OTHER VINS FROM MY CAR'S MODEL YEAR AND ENGINE STYLE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CATCH FIRE. (RECALL CODE 17V209) I AM UNCLEAR AS TO WHY MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, WHEN IT WAS MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY, WITHIN THE IDENTIFIED TIMEFRAME, WITH THE SAME ENGINE, AND EXHIBITING THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
