Consumer Description

JEEP IS BURNING OIL AND COOLANT BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NEED TO ADD OIL AT LEAST EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEK AND COOLANT MONTHLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE EVER COME ON INDICATION THE VEHICLE IS LOW, IT HAS NOT OVER HEATED. HAVE FOUND JEEP TO BE UPTO 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND NO COOLANT IN RESERVOIR. NO SIGNS OF LEAKING OF ANY KIND. HAVE NOTICED A DISTINCT SMELL OF BURNT OIL AFTER LONG DRIVES. WHEN ADDING OIL AND COOLANT TODAY I FOUND A PINK FROTHY RESIDUE ON ALL THE HOUSE JOINTS FOR THE COOLANT. WHY AM I NOT GETTING ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND WHERE ARE THESE FLUIDS GOING TO. THERE IS DISTINCT METAL SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING NOW. I ADDRESSED THE OIL ISSUE WITH THE DEAL THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN AND I WAS TOLD I JUST NEED TO ADD OIL PERIODICALLY THAT "ALL VEHICLES" PERIODICALLY NEED OIL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I OWNED.
