Consumer Description

VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW WAS MAKING LEFT, LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE WANTED TO STALL. I CALLED IN TO DEALER TO DISCUSS SINCE I WAS ALREADY BRINGING IT IN FOR A PASSIVE ENTRY LIGHT ON DASH WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID BRING IT IN RIGHT AWAY. MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS OVER 1000 MILES AWAY FROM BEING DUE & THEY SAID IT WAS DOWN 2 QUARTS. I DROVE 250 MILES UNTIL MY NEXT APPOINTMENT FOR THE OTHER REPAIR PROBLEM 2 WEEKS LATER AND THERE WAS LESS THAN 1/2 NOTCH LEFT OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THE ENGINE WAS GIVEN A FRESH OIL CHANGE AND NOW MUST BE CHECKED EVERY 500 MILES TO DETERMINE IF IT'S AN ENGINE CONSUMPTION CASE. MY OTHER 2 OIL CHANGES WERE FREE TO USE WITHIN 1 YEAR SO IN ORDER TO NOT LOOSE THEM MY OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED WELL BEFORE THEY WERE DUE.
