1 Engine Burning Oil problem of the 2016 Buick Encore

Failure Date: 09/18/2019

My awd went out on 3 occasions, each time I was told they found nothing. One day I lost acceleration power and then the engine light came on. The dealership said my pistons were not firing and had to be replaced with the turbo. All was covered, however two weeks later my red oil alarm came on, I was out of oil. The car went back to dealer, all oil was burned up and so was my turbo. I had taken my car in previously for large amount of smoke coming out the back-end. I was told nothing was found to be wrong?.

3 Engine Burning Oil problem of the 2015 Buick Encore

Failure Date: 06/07/2016

Had an oil change at dealer (typical 15,000 mile check). On the return trip to home, engine started to miss, smoke was coming from back of car like oil was being burned and the engine "check engine light" came on and the car was stopped. Called dealer who had car towed to their location. While waiting for tow, I checked oil level (it was over filled by at least a quart (maybe more), dip stick was not seated properly to check oil level. When the tow truck drive arrived and hooked the car up to tow, he indicated that the passenger side bolt that holds the engine to the frame was missing. He indicated that he would tell the dealer (colman Buick) about the problem. Later on the second day at the dealer, they said they were working on the car all day and were in process of replacing all fuel injector (don't know how they could go bad in 13k miles) and the smoking of the car has been reduced (somehow oil is getting past the rings and is being burned. Two days and still no car.
