Consumer Description

My car is burning oil between oil changes. Oil changed regularly every 3,000 miles for the past 11 years. Worried about motor blowing up and being stranded somewhere due to the oil consumption.Oil life still showing 42% on panel and burnt oil on the crossing part on oil stick only.. Contacted Dealership about a Class Action Settlement which I was unaware of cause I didn't get a notice of settlement it was to late and expired..told me my warranty for this was over and they couldn't help me unless I pay 3,500.00 for new piston's. No warning light nor messages, car over heated and engine smoking..Had to put more oil in to get by..6 months ago when it all started.
