Consumer Description

AROUND 40,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME 1 QUART PER 750 MILES! THAT IS INSANE. THAT SAID, CHRYSLER GUIDELINE FOR CARS IS 1 QUART PER 2000 MILES FOR CARS BELOW 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY ENGINE. I CAN'T EVEN GO 2500 MILES ON AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT MY CAR SEIZING UP, STALLING, HAVING ERRORS CODES (LOW OIL PRESSURE, OIL LIGHT COMES ON, ELECTRICAL ERROR), WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH NO WARNING! VERY DANGEROUS ON A FREEWAY! EVEN THE GUIDELINE FOR CARS OVER 50,000 MILES THE GUIDELINE BEING THE CAR CAN BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE OWNED OLDER MODELS THAT NEVER DID THAT. IS THIS A NEW CAR THING? NEW CARS JUST BURN RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL? TO WHAT END?
