Consumer Description

My 2014 Equinox is going through engine oil so frequently. I have to put at least a quart in every time I fuel up. My oil light that indicates when I am low on oil never comes on. It never warns me that I am low and I first figured it out after my engine started to make a clicking noise when I had my engine oil changed only 3 weeks before that and I had no oil left in my vehicles engine. It does not leak the oil as I never have a puddle under my car. It does not burn it out the exhaust. This is a huge issue and safety concern as it can potentially damage my engine causing more money worth of damage than the vehicle itself is worth and leaving me stranded on the side of the road and without a vehicle is not okay, especially with children potentially being stranded. If my car were to break down due to this issue then I am a sitting duck on the side of the Highway/freeway for other cars to potentially hit me.
