Consumer Description

CAR HAS BURNT 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN 6000 MILES. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS IS A "RING PROBLEM" AND HAS YET TO ISSUE A REVISION PART TO CORRECT PROBLEM. HAS SENT ME HOME WITH A CASE OF OIL TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE ALREADY WAITING OVER 3 MONTHS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE CHEVY TO ISSUE REVISION PART. CAR IS RUNNING TERRIBLY. DEALER SAYS THIS IS B/C BURNT OIL RESIDUE IS LANDING ON PISTONS CAUSING CAR TO PERFORM POORLY. THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP ME.*AK
