I was in a car accident (car total loss), my air bags did NOT deploy and a light came on after the crash to say the airbags malfunctioned.

My car began making a knocking noise and lost power. I was not expecting to be out of oil as I recently had my oil changed. This happened several times while traveling before I realized the engine was burning through oil. My solution has been temporary, frequently checking the oil level and adding oil after an estimated 500 miles. I do not take my vehicle on trips more than 30 minutes and recently rented a vehicle to attend a meeting. I spoke with the service department of Herb Chevrolet and was told my vehicle is not under recall, but what the issue has been found to be is a need to reseal or replace the pistons.
