Engine Burning Oil Problems of Chevrolet Impala

As many other 5. 3 liter gm vehicles during this period, my car has been burning oil, fouling spark plugs, and throwing check engine lights for many years due to this all-too common issue. It is a safety hazard, and all gm vehicles with this motor issue should be recalled and fixed. It poses a serious hazard when you attempt to pull out into the road and the car sputters and misfires and you have no power because oil is seaping past the rings.

I have a 2001 Impala dies going down the road. The electrical gas gauge security light oil light tempture gauge do not work now. You can go to the store. Come out car won't start and some times it won't start for days or weeks. Sometimes I smell oil burning. If the buzzer goes off in the car the car won't start you can go down the road if you hear the sick sounding door buzzer go off be prepared to stop. Took it to the shop they can't figure out what it is. Most the time its running fine when they get it.

My vehicle has the 3. 9 l ltz package. It uses 2 to 3 quarts of oil per oil change. I am currently working with the dealership to monitor my oil consumption every 1,000 miles. So far we have used 1/2 quart in 2,000 miles. The dealership does not seemed concerned but frankly my car should not be using any oil. Gm should do something. We have a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. I hope gm doesn't try to squeak out of fixing this issue.

Excessive wear on my rear tires. I have been told that the suspension is faulty and that excessive repair work had to be done to remedy this. I had to call aaa on one occassion because one of my rear tires blew out because of this problem. No injuries and I was lucky that I was driving in the city when this happened. On the highway, I could have cause great damage to myself and possibly to others around me. My car burns thru oil so super fast. It burns a quart of oil approximately every 750 miles.

Excessive oil consumption; 1 qt every 1500 miles. Impala 2006 ss. 5. 3l. Dealer claims this is normal.

Engine is consuming over a quart of oil approx. Every 1800-2000 miles. I was shown a bulletin that said that there was a problem with oil consumption at the dealership. I brought the car in twice to them each time the low oil light came on and each time they told me there was nothing that could be done but to check it every day or two and keep track then come in with my notes to see what was happening. I brought the car to my regular garage the next time the oil was low and 4 mechanics informed me that the rate of oil consumption was not regular and that there is a problem if it is not making it passed 2000 miles before it loses over a quart of oil.

My "low oil level" light came on after 2000 miles. I had the oil changed, it was a quart low. I was told that new vehicles sometimes "absorb" oil the first time. The light came on again at 5000 miles, the oil was over a quart low. It was implied that I was not resetting the change oil light properly. The engine oil light came on at 9000 miles. At this point I paid for an oil change and an oil consumption test was done. The low oil light came on again at 10,000 miles. The dealership made a service appointment, topping off the oil since it was a quart low and I shouldn't go four days with the oil a quart low. When I returned for the service appointment my oil level was only 1/2 quart low. They had forgotten that they topped it off. I had to pay for another oil change and another oil consumption (dye test) was started. I was shown a notice that was sent to the dealership regarding defective gaskets or seals on 2004 Impalas. To date I have had four oil changes, all of which the oil level was over a quart low. I would think that there was enogh evidence to warrant the repair to my vehicle without having to pay for another oil change and wait 2000 miles. I am concerned that if oil is being consumed it has to effect other parts of the engine. The oil has to go somewhere. Again, I was told that it would not cause any effect to any other part of the vehicle.

When in park the vehicle shakes and smells of oil burning. The dealer says they cannot find the problem.
