Consumer Description

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP ON 12/05/15 (NHSTSA ID 10808561) - PROBLEM ON CHECK ENGINE OIL AROUND 1,500 MILES BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. REPORTED TO SUBARU AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION STUDY, BASICALLY BRINGING THE CAR TO A SUBARU DEALER AT 1,200 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. ASKED THE TECHNICIAN AT DEALER WHAT THEY DID. I WAS TOLD THEY JUST LOOKED AT THE OIL DIP STICK LEVEL - HOW VERY SCIENTIFIC. SO, HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THAT WAS IT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN PUTTING A QUART OF OIL AROUND 1,300 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. MILEAGE OF MY CAR IS NOW OVER 58,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT 60,000 MILES, THE WARRANTY WILL BE OVER AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AS THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES. SUBARU STILL CLAIMS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. PREVIOUS CARS I OWNED NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. WHY IS SUBARU NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT?
