Consumer Description

I NOTICED MY OIL L WAS LEAKING SEVERELY. I HAD TO ADD OIL BETWEEN CHANGES EVEN. ENDED UP HAVING BOTH SEALS REPLACED LESS THE 2 MONTHS AGO. IT IS STILL LEAKING. I HAVE TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 2 WEEKS AND ADD 2-5 QUARTS BETWEEN CHANGES. JUST PUT MY 2015 TERRAIN BACK IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE PISTON RINGS IN PREVIOUS MODELS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM? I JUST SPENT ALMOST $3000 2 MONTHS AGO AND AM PROBABLY LOOKING AT THAT MUCH AGAIN TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER VEHICLE. I LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTY SO IT'S A COMBINATION OR HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. I DO NOT DRIVE CRAZY OR HARD. I ROUTINELY TAKE CARE OF ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REASON I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE.
