This is a well known problem. The only thing GM will do is replace the oil ring(s) in the engine, at no charge, which requires a major engine overhaul. You need to have an oil consumption test, you need to be burning more than one quart every 500 miles (that's the actual limit), and you need to have at least 4000 (some say 5000) miles on your car. The parts are very scarce. I've been waiting about 6 weeks for the parts, which are supposedly due in at my dealer in another 2 weeks or so (but they've already missed two promised dates for delivering the parts).
Reason is simple: Escalate the issue to the district manager, threaten to force them to buy back your car (by suing if necessary). They will contact GM. GM should authorize the parts. The dealer doesn't pay anything, and in fact gets paid to do a repair.

c4c5 is correct. Allow me to elaborate a bit.

Hi there all,
I can absolutely confirm that the oil consumption issues will be fixed for the 02 model year, as was announced by senior engineers at the plant.
Best to all, c4c5
