Consumer Description

THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO WEEKS SAYING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE BUT ADD OIL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SINCE 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. I ADD A QUART OF OIL EACH TIME AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO GET CHECKED I WAS TOLD THIS CAR WAS CHECKED FOR THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO LEAKS THAT THE CAR IS JUST BURNING OIL. THEY GAVE NO VALID REASON. THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED TWICE FOR THIS OIL PROBLEM AND NO RESULTS. WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY A MONTH AGO THE CAR LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID TURN OFF VEHICLE NOW. NO WARNING OTHER THAN ADD OIL CAR IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AND TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE I WAS IN PARK. ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-10 MPH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO RESTART A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. I WENT HOME AND ADDED OIL TO IT YET AGAIN. I NEED TO ADD OIL WHEN'RE THE LIGHT COMES ON AS TO NOT HAVE IT SHUT OFF ON ME.
