Had all vehicle maintenance and repairs done at dealership. PROBLEM: Oil consumption was progressing (OVER 1 QT between oil changes) dealer said needed new head gasket, oil pan was warped and leaking, and CVT pump gasket needed resealing ....... 3 weeks later got vehicle back. Within 6 months, oil consumption issue started to return, dealer said it was normal, another 6 months our vehicle was going through almost a full quart, another 6 months oil light came on prior to dealer scheduled oil change.
Dealer finally tested vehicle and said we needed a new short block ($6700) and that they were sorry but we would have to pay for it, we just passed the drivetrain mileage warranty. Total for all needed and passed repairs on this vehicle will be over $15,000.
