NHTSA Complaint #10746427 — 2014 SUBARU FORESTER

CAR ENGINE CONSUMES UNREASONABLE AMOUNTS OF OIL DURING USE REQUIRING CONSTANT MONITORING TO AVOID ENGINE FAILURE. CAR BURNS THROUGH ONE QUART OF OIL PER 2000 MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THE DEALER AND COMPANY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT IT IS "NORMAL" FOR THE CAR TO BURN UP TO ONE QUART PER 1200 MILES. TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, THE CAR HOLDS SEVEN QUARTS OF OIL AND THE MANUFACTURER'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED SPECIFIES CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 7500 MILES. THIS MEANS THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BURN SIX AND A HALF OUT OF SEVEN QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED SERVICES TO MEET CRITERIA.
