Consumer Description

My vehicle has been burning oil and no oil light ever comes on. My vehicle then overheated post 1 week after an oil change and the safety mechanism turned on and shut my vehicle down. The sensor never detected the vehicle was overheating. It went from a "please lower RPM" to shutting down within seconds on the interstate. There are similar recalls on other years of this make and model. It has been burning oil since I bought the vehicle brand new. There is currently 80,000 miles on the car and has never missed an oil change or any service. My safety was put at risk by driving on the interstate and the vehicle completely shutting down going full speed. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone but the people who have completely oil changes, etc. Never been in an accident. There were no previous warning lights prior to the shut down and overheating. The vehicle had started bogging down before the initial reduce RPM alert came on followed by the shut down seconds later.
