Consumer Description

Purchased the car with 120,000 miles and noticed it was burning 5 1/2 quarts of oil every 3,500 miles. Thought it was an oil leak and had that repaired but issue continued. Drove another 3,500 miles and had to add another 5 1/2 quarts of oil. Light never went on the last time and oil level was so low that engine now has rod knock. Only recourse is to replace the engine and I cannot afford the repair. Volvo acknowledged that these cars have excessive oil consumption issues but will only pay for repairs for cars less than 10 years old or have under 100,000 miles
