Consumer Description

IN AUGUST, 2019 I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND WHEN I WEN TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAR SPUTTERED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TIMING CHAINS AND ACTUATORS ($1,416.60). TWO DAYS AGO THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND AND THEN WHILE I WAS IN GEAR (DRIVE) WAITING FOR THE GARAGE TO OPEN, THE CAR STARTED TRYING TO "BUCK" FORWARD WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL WITH LOTS OF MILES (UNDER 70,000) TEND TO BURN OIL. I ADDED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL (NONE ON DIP STICK) AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FINE. WHY IS THIS CAR BURNING SO MUCH OIL? I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR BURN OIL AND TO BE TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT BURNING OIL IS NORMAL IS DISTURBING AS IS THE UNRELIABILITY OF THE CAR. WILL IT BUCK AGAIN OR DIE AGAIN?
