1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2017

The engine loses 1% of its oil every 20 driven miles. Gm knows about this excessive oil consumption and refuses to resolve the cause. I bought this as a new car, with 2059 miles on it. Right now my oil gauge reads 96%, or a 4 % oil loss, after 80 driven miles. I am deathly afraid to take this car out on a interstate highway with high speed traffic because this will really stress the engine. The 1st 80 driven miles was on city streets in orlando, fla. What I don't understand is that NHTSA has known about this gm engine problem since 2014, so why hasn't something been done to get gm to put safe, reliable engines in their cars? their opel cars have excellent reputation for engines which do not lose oil between oil changes. I also am aware the daewoo block has been re-worked and gm wants to get its investment back, using ultra cheap korean labor, where the engine is made. What I don't know, and can't find out is if these engines have a small turbo to boost power, which in turn would be a reason for a small increase oil consumption, butt, definitely not as drastic as the 1% every 20 driven miles I am currently experiencing. I expect auto nation Chevrolet in orlando to demand that gm send them a 2018 made engine to install in my car to see if the oil consumption issue has been resolved. What I demand is a total recall of these Spark engines and replace them with new reliable engines which other gm subsidiaries like opel make. How many people have to die in an accident before this unsafe engine is replaced,.
