Consumer Description

MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN 2.4L IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHECK MY OIL AND IT GETS TO 1 QT OR MORE LOW BETWEEN MY 5K OIL CHANGES. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON INDICATING MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY BE BAD. IVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. IT SHOULDN'T NEED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALREADY. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SMOG NEXT MONTH AND I'VE AKREADY HAD TO REPMACE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST SENSORS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OIL ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION BEING DRIVEN. IT IS EATING UP OIL.
