NHTSA Complaint #11152481 — 2012 VOLVO S60

LIKE MANY OF THE COMPLAINS LISTED FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, MY 2012 VOLVO S60 IS CONSUMING OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WITH NO WARNING LIGHT OF LOW OIL PRESSURE SHOWING UP. THERE IS NO SMOKE OR PUDDLES INDICATING BURNING OIL OR AN OIL LEAK. WE TRY TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE OIL BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID SINCE IT'S A TURBO IT NEEDS EXTRA OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE OIL TRAP WAS CHANGED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. RECENTLY, THE CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, LIKE IT NEEDED SPARK PLUGS,(THOUGH IT WAS NOT TIME) THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE FOUND OUT THE 5TH CYLINDER STOPPED FIRING AND I HAVE A WARPED HEAD NOW BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE GETTING TOO HOT. THE WEEK BEFORE, I COULD SMELL THE CAR WAS BURNING RICH, NOW I REALIZE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE 5TH CYLINDER AND VERY LIKELY THE 'GUNK' FROM THE STOPPED UP OIL TRAP. EVERYTHING LEADS BACK TO THE OIL ISSUE.
