Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE PAST 7 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO GET 3 OIL CHANGES AND TOP OFF THE OIL MANY TIMES IN BETWEEN, WHICH IS MUCH MORE THAN THE MANUAL STATES IS NECESSARY. THIS VEHICLE BURNS THROUGH OR LOSES OIL TOO QUICKLY, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT OFTEN TURNS OFF GOING UP OR DOWN HILL, AND AFTER OR MID TURN (WHAT LITTLE OIL IS REMAINING SHIFTS) ON CITY STREETS. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF ITSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN ITSELF BACK ON. LIKE MENTIONED, THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES SINCE MAY 2018 (PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH 2018). BETWEEN 10/29 AND 10/31, IT OCCURRED 9 TIMES. IF NECESSARY, I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF SERVICE NEEDED.
