Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF IT, I WAS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 5K WITH FULL SYNTHETIC. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "REDUCE SPEED OR SHIFT UP", AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ULTIMATELY DUE TO THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION I HAD A BENT VALUE AND NO COMPRESSION OUT OF THE 4TH CYLINDER. VOLVO DID NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS OR ACKNOWLEDGE ANY MANUFACTURING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT REGULARLY SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 MONTHS EARLIER.
