Problem Reports

Uses a quart of oil every 1200-1300 miles.

I got my 2008 van in 2010. I love the van but for the last year I had to replace the bearings. This is what the loud noise was from. I change my oil routinely because during my sons school year I have to drive him to school five days awake. I usually hit the mileage befor the month to change the oil. For the last year I have been experiencing a loss of oil before the next oil change arrives. This has been happening for about a year now. I have to bring it back to my guys that do my oil change. They are just as baffled about the situation as I'am. There is know oil on the ground where the van sits. Now I think the suspension is going out. I still owe a lot on this van. I thought with the name of chrysler assigned to this van I would have a dependable vehicle. I know it was a rental van. So I knew that it would have to be kept up. I still have to get the recall stuff done on this van but I'm afraid to bring it to the local dealer. I still have a oil problem to this day. I had my oil changed on December 17. And my return date was March 17 or 101,000 miles, give or take a few more miles but my oil change chime is already chiming. My husband and I checked the oil level and the stick was almost dry. Does Chrysler realize that this could severely damage the vans engine and us customers can't afford new cars.

Goes through 1-1.5 quarts of oil every 750-1000 miles. No evidence of leaks or burning oil in the exhaust. Performed oil consumption test to confirm. It's absurd that the dealer tells us this is within factory specs. Dealer recommends the only cure is an engine rebuild! I've owned beaters with 150k-300k miles that didn't use this much oil. So much for 'American-Made' quality!

Oil light came on oil 3/4 of a quart low. Have been doing oil consumption test the last three thousand miles and it burns 3/4 of a quart every 1000 miles. I have owned cars that were 14 years old with over 200 thousand miles on them and never burned 3/4 of a quart in between oil changes. There have been many problems with this vehicle. We purchased new in 2008 with the life time power train warranty, lets see what they are going to do to take care of the situation.

uses 3qts of motor oil between oil changes(3000 miles).No sign of any major leaks and doesn't smoke out of the exhaust like it would be burn it.
