Smoke war everywhere!!! when i pressed down on the gas the whole car would shake and vibrate. i pulled over to the side and popped the hood to see wtf!? smoke was comming from the back of the engine and oil was leaking under my car. 5 minutes later i see allll the oil beneath my car. didnt bother to start it up again and called AAA to come pick it up and take it to WESTCO!

will keep you guys posted.
so what happens if you are outside 36k miles with no extended warranty and your car is affected by a recall....in this case oil consumption. Are they still obligated to honor the recall? After how many issues is it considered lemon law? Im going in to haven them check my oil once I reach 900miles, I am positive that I will need a new motor.
