Experiencing high engine oil consumption. My 2009 Acura Tsx is around 88k miles. Since around the 75k mile mark I have been experiencing higher than normal oil consumption rates. I regularly change my oil at the 3,000 mi mark and once had the auto shop ask me why I had waited so long to change my oil. I had explained to them that it was at the 3k mi mark and that I was right on time for my service. The auto shop had then gone on to explain to me that I had burned through more than 3qts of oil at that point. Consuming 1 or more quarts of oil per 1,000mi is not acceptable. So I think this experience is unique to me but come to find out Acura has issued a notice of a warranty extension to Acura owners experiencing this issue. After receiving a notice from Acura regarding high engine oil consumption I was directed to take my car into the Acura dealership for an oil consumption test. I paid a premium price to have my oil change completed by the dealer, I had my oil levels marked and was told to bring the car back after 1,000 miles so they could test my oil consumption. After the 1,000 mi mark I returned back to the dealer to be told that I had used over 1 quart of oil in my 1,000 miles driven and that this was considered acceptable to Acura and they would not be extending my warranty or fixing my piston/engine issue. This is completely unacceptable oil consumption rates for an automobile. After each oil change I receive around the 2,000 mi mark my engine makes a very loud noise while changing gears. Once the oil change is completed it goes away until at least the next 2k miles are driven. This needs to be addressed!!! Acura has sets the standard for oil consumption rates at an unrealistic level and is putting Acura owners safety at risk!!!!.

While driving on the freeway with the air conditioner on, a loud noise came from the engine compartment and the air from the air conditioner was no longer cooled. I took it to a mechanic who inspected it and told me that the air conditioner condenser exploded, sending out shards of metal.
