Consumer Description
MY CAR COMPLETELY RUNS OUT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. WHAT THIS THEN DOES, IS CAUSE THE LIMP MODE TO COME ON AND STALL MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED IN INTERSECTIONS, AND ON THE HIGHWAY, BEFORE I MYSELF FIGURED OUT MY CAR HAD NO OIL. MY ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. I HAD LESS THAN A QUART. I HAD ENGINE CODES BEING THROWN NONE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH OIL. NO OIL LIGHT ON. NOTHING. I DEDUCED MYSELF ONLINE THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL, THOUGH I WAS STILL ONE WEEK OUT FROM NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE PER THE VEHICLE SPECS (THE OIL CHANGE NOTIFICATION FROM THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD NOT COME ON YET). SURE ENOUGH, DIPSTICK WAS BONE DRY. I HAD IT RECTIFIED. I HAD IT VERIFIED THAT I HAVE NO OIL LEAK. AND EVERY TIME I AM ALMOST DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE MY VEHICLE STALLS. ANY AND EVERY WHERE. AND THEN I GO GET AN OIL CHANGE WITH MORE OIL. ALL OVER MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS HAPPENS TO PEOPLE. 2017'S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. 2019'S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS. WHY IN GOD'S NAME HAS 2018 NOT BEEN RECALLED OVER THIS. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S DANGEROUS. I WAS ALMOST HIT HEAD ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY 3K MILES FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE.
