Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 VW JETTA 4 CYL. WITH 25,000 MILES ON IT THAT BURNS 1 QT. OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO SOUTH SHORE VOLKSWAGEN WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR ALL OF ITS 5,000-MILE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. ALTHOUGH VW IS TELLING ME THIS IS 'NORMAL' FOR A JETTA I DISAGREE. PER OLKSVWAGEN POLICY I AM NOW DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS WHICH IS ONLY CONFIRMING THAT THE CAR DOES GO THROUGH 1 QT. OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JETTA MODEL THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AT VW'S EXPENSE.*AK
