Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2012 Subaru Impreza

At 150,000 miles I noticed that in the mornings on cold start up I will get a large cloud of bluish smoke that smells like it's burning, I understand that this is indicative of burning oil. I only knew till recently there was a campaign to fix this issue and that it is now closed but at 150,000 miles it seems like it may be pretty excessive.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and was towed to west houston Subaru (17109 katy fwy, houston, TX 77094). The dealer diagnosed that the oil consumption was high and the vehicle exceeded the mileage for the extended warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 175,000.

My engine burns through oil rapidly every 800 to 1300 miles I need an oil change. This issue is exasperated when the weather is warm. I once burned through a while quart of oil after 600 miles when traveling. Subaru defines an engine issue if it is under 2000 miles. But they will not fix the issue. They told me that my engine failed the test and that they had ordered parts. When I called back to see when parts would be in because I had gone in twice in the span of 2 months for oil top offs they told me that I was no longer getting the parts and that we had to redo the test. We redo the test and my oil light comes on at 800 miles, and they told my my issue was a sensor and that the history of my vehicle was invalid. I am now afraid that my engine is going to blow up.

Purchased the car use at 28000 miles. Checked oil at time of purchase and it was full. Drove the car for approximately 1200 miles before a low oil light came on. Sought the help of Subaru and got an oil consumption test. Oil light came on again at 700 miles burning 16. 5 quarts. Highly unacceptable. Car was oil changed and replacement short block ordered. Replaced short block and currently breaking in new block.

2012 Subaru Impreza has been needing an average of 1 quart of oil for every 1,000 miles driven since may of 2013. Oil consumption text started at north country Subaru in queensbury, NY on August 5, 2014 when the car had 26586 miles on it. New oil float switch was put into the car on September 24, 2014 at 28654 miles. Car continues to need 1 quart of oil for every 1,000 miles.

I have been having continuous issues with oil consumption in my 2012 Impreza 2. 0i. I have only driven 2500 miles since my oil change and my low oil light is on. This is the third time I've had to top up the oil and the problem is only getting worse!.

The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that he the vehicle exhibited excessive oil consumption. The contact added one quart of oil to the vehicle, which only lasted approximately 900 miles. The vehicle was inspected. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 7,500 updated 01/14/14.

Since oil change number 1, the engine oil was down a little over a quart. This vehicle requires full synthetic oil 0/20. At every oil change the oil is a quart or more low. A few times the oil light has gone on well before the next oil change. A new car should not be burning oil, especially full synthetic oil.

My Subaru imprera's low engine oil light has been on multiple times since April of this year and has been brought to the attention of Subaru dealer to no avail. Though the oil consumption rate is abnormal and the problem appears to be common among certain Subaru models, Subaru of America has been asserting that it is normal for an automobile to consume a quart of oil about every thousand miles.

Low oil warning light on dash. Brought to dealer. No action. Oil warning light on 3 times since then. Still no action taken by dealer. Subaru dealer does not deny oil is being burned but states that this is normal for a new car. We have begun an oil consumption test but the car continues to burn oil. We will have to drive another 2400 miles to get the results of the test. The car only has 17,000 miles but oil warning light comes on indicating low oil every 1,200 to 1,500 miles. Still awaiting response from Subaru.

I purchased my 2012 Subaru Impreza sport premium on 12/24/2011. It had less than 100 miles when purchased from the dealer. At 1200 miles, the oil light came on. I checked the oil level and it was very low. I called broadway Subaru in oakland,CA about the problem. I explained, how can a brand new car have low oil? they said this is common and to add oil. Added oil and the light went off. Today, the light appeared again at 5560 miles. Oil again is low but within normal levels. I called broadway Subaru and told them the problem. Again, the guy explained this is normal for all cars to burn oil, whether it's an american car, japanese, or anything else. Is he serious? I hondas for close to 20 years and never ever did an oil light come on, let alone on a new engine which is not due for its first oil change until 7500 miles. I made an appt for 8/24/2012.

This Subaru takes synthetic oil, which should last a minimum of 6000 miles between oil changes. Every oil change I have had on this car (I change it every 7500 miles), I have had to add an extra quart of oil by about 3000 miles into an oil change. This has done this from the very beginning of ownership. A brand new car should not burn up oil so quickly. This can has been so many headaches from the moment I purchased it. Electrical failures, passenger airbags not working, gps system failure, brakes not responding as they should. . . The list goes on.

Ordered & purchased car 2012 began sending complaints to dealer & manufacture about the vehicle wandering over the road, brakes grabbing, tires losing air, poor transmission response, bad battery and many more. After my complaints were neglected I had to save the money to replace faulty factory yokohama avid tires @ 24k miles & purchased warrantee direct extended warranty to address complications (like starter) this car has well under 40k miles now but have had to replace the battery & the car will not stay aligned. This car always uses coolant & brake fluid, as well as a strange engine oil situation (presently different than the class action oil consumption problem). I have complained about the non-responsive transmission & poor acceleration. I'm already disabled from job-related spinal injuries & have done my darnedest to drive as safely as possible to avoid driving during rush traffic, check tire pressures & oil use so I keep my perfect driving record for insurance & health purpose. I thought that buying a new car keeps one from many purchases yet, I have spent more money on this new car than any used car. What more can I do to protect myself? with all the problems I'd like to know which files are best to send?.

I purchased this car brand new from the dealership in January 2012 and have consistently added 1 quart +/- approximately every 1,200 miles, more often and increased added oil volume during extended driving times. I have spoken directly with Subaru dealers/service managers in 3 different California cities whom have been alerted to this oil consumption issue and have casually explained the consumption of 3-5 quarts of oil between changes as normal. Research seems to show that some Subaru dealers have begun to replace the short block of the engines that are consuming too much oil, but only for those with documented oil loss. Those people that visit the dealer exclusively for their service are likely the ones who will have their engines replaced without cost, leaving the rest of us out to dry. Subaru needs to rectify this problem, not sweep the issue under the rug and force the Subaru customer base to pay too much for an engine that was not meant to last.
