Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND DISCOVERED WITHIN 45 MILES OF DRIVING THE CAR THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON NOR DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER I ADDED 4QUARTZ OF OIL AND THE ENGINE QUIETED DOWN THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A NOTIFICATION SAYING TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO PEP BOYS TO SEE A MANAGER ABOUT THEM NOT PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH PEP BOYS ON THE ISSUE FOR OVER A MONTH AND THE MECHANIC I HIRED HAS JUST POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY CAR. APPARENTLY VOLVO HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER COMING ON WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD PEP BOYS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR UNTIL A KNOCKING SOUND HAD STARTED.
