Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE ENGINE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL IMMEDIATELY AND IT APPEARED TO BE DOWN ABOUT A QUART. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY CONFIRMED THE OIL WAS DOWN ABOUT A QUART AND STARTED AN ENGINE OIL STUDY. I AM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 1200 TO HAVE THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 AND ABOVE SUBARUS. THIS ALL HAPPENED A MONTH OR SO AFTER I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING A BURNT OIL SMELL FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. NOTHING WAS FOUND. *JS
