We went back for 3 more oil changes in the next year. Bommarito replaced the pistons at gms cost, on 10/28/18. We took the car back 3 times more before they agreed to change the pistons. Bommarito told us that we should watch the oil and bring it back every 1,000 miles for an oil consumption check if it continued to burn oil quickly. On Jwe took the car to bommarito gmac (located in ellisville, mo). We were told that this had nothing to do with the previous �fixes� and that the dealership nor gm would cover this. The car would require a new engine with a estimated cost of $8,000. They called to let us know that a piston broke and went through the engine for a catastrophic event. The car was towed to elco Chevrolet ($120) the next morning. After several minutes, he tried to turn it back on without success. He immediately pulled over on the side of the road and turned off the car. He heard a pop and what sounded like the engine blew up. On the evening of Jan 27, 2020, we received a call from our son after the car broke down while he was driving, just about a mile from our house. The original factory installed piston assembly has been updated with a newer part to apparently fix the oil consumption issue which tells me that there was a defect in the original factory installed parts and that this is not a problem based on improper care or lack of maintenance by the owner. I just want gm to honor the extended coverage and do the repair on the piston assembly. I have not kept receipts of every time I added oil, I just check the oil periodically when refilling gas and add as necessary. I've been receiving litigation information about a suit and claims for reimbursement for expenses into early 2020, but nothing about how to get the problem fixed if I have never previously filed any claims. Gm now refuses to cover the repair because the "special coverage" timeframe that I was never notified about (120k miles or, whichever is first) has apparently ended and the vehicle had less than 60,000 miles on it at the time the extended coverage ended. 5 qts of oil were added over 2,955 miles of operation. Was told to do an oil consumption test which was completed on Septemto verify that 4. I explained that I have been adding up to 5 quarts of oil between oil changes at 3,500 miles. Took the vehicle to a dealer on 4/4/20 and was told that an extended "special coverage" warranty had expired on. Started receiving some information about some excessive oil problems but that there was still a pending classaction suit in progress and that I didn't need to do anything because my vehicle was involved. I have records.Įxcessive oil consumption starting at between 30-40k miles. I have reached out to the dealer whom sold me the vehicle, recalls dept, etc and I'm not being provided with assistance. At this current time I am having "reduced energy" issues and I just received oil change and I'm being told I needed to add oil, but how when I just got a oil change. Lastly but not least the sensors and other things are being damaged in the process. The vehicle has a very high oil consumption and is bringing about more issues within the vehicle. Supposedly the dealer fixed the issue, not sure if that was true because it continued as time went on. The first signs of trouble started when the car would cut off in the middle of driving in busy traffic. I have had multiple issues with the vehicle in question every since I drove it off the lot.
