2012 VOLVO S60 Engine Problems

MY 2012 S60 HAS LESS THAN 63K MILES AND IT IS BURNING OIL. I'VE NOT SEEN ANY LEAKS OR EXHAUST SMOKE, SO I ASSUMED ALL WAS WELL. DEALER SHIP ADVISED IT'S NORMAL FOR A VOLVO TO LOSS 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. RECENTLY THE ENGINE FAILED WITH NO WARNING, AND WARRANTY IS OUT. CAN'T BELIEVE A 2012 VEH. WOULD HAVE SUCH ENGINE PROBLEMS AND VOLVO CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM.

THE CAR IS USING OIL LIKE CRAZY. GOING THRU 3-4 QUARTS EVERY 2000 MILES. STARTED AT 40541 WHEN SERVICED, THEY NOTED IT WAS A QUART LOW. I AM NOW AT 79000. & THE PROBLEM HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE. I SPOKE TO DEALER ABOUT THIS & THEY ACTED AS IF THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE OR WHY. THEY AGREED TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (THEY SAID WAS THE NEXT STEP IN PROTOCOL) WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD READ THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM & I HAD COPY OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED. THEY EVEN TOLD ME MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED, THAT THE T6 MODELS WERE THE ONES WITH THE ISSUE. THAT IS NOT TRUE. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AFTER 2000 MILES & I WAS BARELY SHOWING ANY OIL ON THE DIPSTICK BUT THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN & NOT TO...

2012 VOLVO S60. VEHICLE IS AT 64,114 MILES. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT A RUBBER DIAPHRAGM IN THE OIL TRAP HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ON FULL VACUUM AND IN-TAKE TOO MUCH AIR AND OIL. IN FACT, IT WAS TAKING IN SO MUCH OIL THAT THE OIL WAS NEARLY DEPLETED. HE STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR ISSUES WITH VOLVOS IN THE PAST. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL SERVICE. AT THAT TIME, HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE'S OIL WAS ALMOST DEPLETED. I'M NOW BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THAT THE BROKEN DIAPHRAGM IS RELATED TO THAT ISSUE AS WELL. I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING DEPLETED OIL (AND THE LACK OF A DRIVER...
