| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Burning too much oil with absolutely no warning. my check oil light has never come on. have taken it for 3,000 mile oil changes a couple times to find no oil and no trace of oil in it, though i had filled it to where the dipstick registered full within the last seventy miles. i can't make a decent stab at estimating how much it burns because it seems to be fine and then be empty. it doesn't leak anywhere and it doesn't smell like it's burning it, but it's just gone. i have to stay on top of this all of the time; it's a drag. i'm going to go check it now while i'm thinking about it. i am wondering if whatever this defect is affecting my mileage because i only get 16 mpg. my mechanics say the only thing i can do is get the engine rebuilt. i do wish isuzu would help out here. i like the vehicle and am not in a position to have the engine rebuilt or buy another car. i would also feel badly selling this to someone knowing the engine could lock-up with no notice. and if i tell them, who would buy it? *nm |
