Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES MY GMC STALLS WHILE IN MOVEMENT. DOES IT WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS DRIVING SLOW SPEEDS OR BACKING UP. MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE ALMOST BEING HIT. BIG PROBLEM I AM HAVING AS WELL IS THAT OIL SEEMS TO BURN FAST. I GET MY OIL CHANGES REGULARLY BUT HAVE TO GO BACK INTO SHOP BETWEEN OIL CHANGES FOR THEM TO PUT MORE OIL IN AS ITS BURNING OUT SO QUICKLY. I AM NOT LEAKING OIL AT ALL!! THESE TWO THINGS HAVE BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM BEING A MOM I AM SCARED TO HAVE M UH KIDS IN THE CAR THAT IT MAY MALFUNCTION WHILE THEY ARE IN IT AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. RECALLS SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS THEY ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
