Consumer Description

CONSUMING OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND NO WARNING LIGHT OF LOW OIL PRESSURE SHOWS UP. JUST LUCKY TO HAVE CHECKED THE DIP-STICK DURING MY ROUTINE CHECKUP AND FOUND OIL COMPLETELY DEPLETED. ADDED 5 QUARTS OF SYNTHETIC OIL AGAIN CHECKING IN THREE WEEKS I HAD TO ADD ANOTHER 2 QUARTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY RAMPANT AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLES ENGINE SEIZE. A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NEEDED ASAP. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 62K
