Consumer Description

THE OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILUMINATED. I STOPPED AND ADDED OIL. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WHICH IS CAUSING ME TO ADD A QUART OF OIL ONCE PER WEEK. THE DEALER HAS A FIX BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I'LL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING MANY CARS. THE COST, FOR ME, WILL BE IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
