Consumer Description

ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. EVERY 1,000 MILES THERE WILL BE NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. NO WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON STATING MY OIL IS LOW. I COULD HAVE BLOWN MY ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES IF I DIDN'T CHECK MY OIL REGULARLY. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP 5 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE ALREADY HAD TO GET 3 OIL CHANGES BC OF THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL LOSS PLUS HAVE HAD TO ADD OIL IN BETWEEN.
