Description of the problem | Excessive oil consumption. Used 1and 1/2 quarts of oil at 3250 miles(which was added by the dealer service dept. Today 1/2/18) was bought as a new vehicle 9/17 with only 12 miles on odometer.(12/25/17) first the check engine light lit, they said it was the gas cap. One week later the check oil level alarm lit . They checked it said no external leaks, they added the 1 1/2 quart oil , said to keep an eye on the level. I am scared to take this car on any trips with this car. Also the coolant level was at the minimum level, the service open the cap and the level did rise, but why is that? |
