Excessive Oil Consumption
Good Afternoon, the other day my husband checked the oil on my 2011 Chevy Equinox only to find it with just 2 qts of oil remaining, there doesn't seem to be a noticable leak, and the oil was just changed 2 months, and 3000 miles ago. He went ahead and changed the oil again. The following day the Equinox popped a code, P0014 Cam Shaft Position. After further research on NHTSA.gov, it seems as though this could be related to excessive oil consumption. Today, March 22, 2016, I dropped the vehicle off at Tim Lally Chevrolet for repair. Per the technician, a dye was placed in the oil to detect a leak, and I am required to return every 500 miles to have it evaluated. I'm not quite sure, but to me, this seems like a pretty cut and dry thing to repair, with having a known issue, and having the extended warranty bulletins addressing "said" issues. My family is scheduled to leave for vacation on Monday, March 28th, is this vehicle safe to continue driving? Should the repair not take place? I'm confused and frustrated.
