Consumer Description

EVER SINCE WE GOT OUR VEHICLE IT USES OIL, SINCE MORE MILES HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SAID VEHICLE IT'S USING MORE OIL! OIL ISN'T CHEAP, I PUT MORE OIL IN MY 2015 EQUINOX THAN MY HUSBAND PUTS IN OUR 2004 DODGE RAM AND IT BURNS OIL BUT LESS THAN MY EQUINOX! I'M HAVING TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERYDAY BECAUSE OF THIS, MY HUSBAND AND I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 10/3/2020 AND TODAY 10/5/2020 I'VE HAD TO ADD 1/2 OF A QUART OF OIL! I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING TO BUT I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR FOR QUITE AWHILE AND HONESTLY IT'S NOT WORTH IT AS MUCH OIL AS IT'S USING. NOW I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS OVER OLDER MODELS HAVING A LAWSUIT AGAINST WHOMEVER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION ON THEIRS AND IN ALL HONESTY I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DIRECTION I NEED TO HEAD OR WHAT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!
