Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

Oil consumption beyond normal. I have been researching this issue and found a wide problem for Chrysler/Jeep model years up through 2011 with the 3. 8 liter engine. There is a defect with the valve guides and seals that allows oil to be burned at a far greater rate than what the industry standard would say is normal oil consumption. With this issue it uses more than a quart per 1,000 miles. Dealer has said this is normal oil consumption. Since the guides are defective along with the seals this is causing dry start even with low miles! I am meticulous with maintenance on my vehicles, daily driven mostly highway miles approx. 30 miles daily. When the vehicle is started in the mornings you can hear the dry start to the valve train. It goes away as soon as the engine is running and oil is circulating. However you can hear the valve train is noisier than usual. I have been servicing vehicles for over 35 years now both professionally and as a hobbyist. This is clearly a design flaw to this particular engine. I personally know someone who recently had to replace their entire engine because of this issue. Even the simplest of internet searches turns this issue up. I am not the only one complaining about this issue. We would like the dealer to address this.

My 2008 Town & Country burns a lot of oil. There are no leaks or wet spots under the hood or on the ground. I have to add a quart of oil every 100 miles. My research shows that a majority, if not all, of the other owners of this vehicle are experiencing the same issue. Kindly look in to issuing a recall for this problem. Thank you.

Engine extremely burns oil, no leaks have been found. Car has 70mmiles however it has burned oil like this since I bought it at 28m. Miles. I have tried many oils and non have helped. I notice that online there is a ton of complaints with others. What can be done to help me solve this problem. I burn 2 qts every 1500 miles. No blue smoke where is it going?.

I have a 2008 town &country touring minivan for 3 yrs but now at every oil change the mechanic tells me that the car burning oil and it stalling and at high speed it gets little scary. It need a recall the motor should not be burning oil every 3000 miles and I always change my oil at 2900 and cleaning the motor gets expensive every oil change for me goes for over $150. 00 because the motor burning oil have this check before something happens.

Vehicle is burning 3 qts of oil between oil changes, no leaks, very disappointing.

Bought this car used with 64,000 miles. 3. 8 l engine. Car burns approximately 1 quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven. No leaks and no smoke. Pvc valve ok. According to my mechanic who owned the same car there is some issue with cylinders/piston rings seating and a common issue from a bad batch of manufacturing and/or rings. He tore down the engine in his van to investigate, replaced with new rings and hasn't burned a drop since. Chrysler has come out to say 1 quart per 3000 miles is normal but this is not normal.

My 2008 Town & Country is burning oil and I it started who knows when. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the valve cover 3 times now. It needs replaced again but they are waiting to hear from Chrysler. I think the whole van should be recalled. I bought a vehicle that was supposed to be safe and reliable not take it to get fixed every month. I shouldn't have to check the oil every 500 miles. My 1997 chevy blazer was never this much trouble. I don't think I will ever own another Chrysler again unless maybe it's free. Also the key is getting stuck in the ignition after being shut off. I have oil in my driveway and I'm stick of the repairs!.

Reoccuring excessive oil consumption. Had 4 oil consumptions test done. Test on 6/8/12 failed. Burned 3 quarts of oil in 2589 miles. Filed lemon law in Feb 2012 for excessive oil consumption and other issues that have been repaired more than 3x. Chrysler has denied the lawsuit. Seeking further actions against Chrysler at this time. Van is currently at dealership undergoing oil compression and leak down test as advised by Chrysler. Dealership is not returning phone calls and will not tell me results of test. Dealership states they are waiting for further response from Chrysler. I have been provided a rental car per extended warranty coverage. Van has been repaired more than 30 times for multiple issues & recalls since possesion at 176 miles.

Engine burns over 3 quarts of oil between oil changes. It has gotten worse with age. I'm putting almost 4 quarts in every 2000 miles now. Based on the reading I've done, this is a too common problem. The engine design was changed in 2011 due to this known defect. There should be a recall recommended.
