Tl the contact owns a 2013 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated while driving various speeds, the oil level warning light illuminated after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 18v772000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was taken to Subaru of jacksonville (10800 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, FL 32225, (904) 641-6455) and diagnosed that the timing cover needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact was informed that there were no oil leaks found. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to same dealer and the contact was informed that the timing cover needed to be adjusted. The contact stated that oil warning light was illuminated. The oil level was topped off. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where an oil consumption test was performed and it was determined that the engine consumed a quart of oil and that the short block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 95,224.

The car broke down Nov. 2018 while my wife was driving on interstate highway. Dealer replaced valve body. Car was using a lot of oil between changes. When asked about it, dealer service dept said "just keep adding oil. " car started putting out blue cloud from exhaust when started. Asked dealer service dept, they said "subarus do that. Just keep adding oil. " had recall work done March 2019: valve spring replacement. Again asked about oil consumption. Service dept. Recommended adding oil between oil changes. Labor day 2019 car broke down again with same dash indicators flashing as in Nov. 2018. Car was in drive and moving forward at 35 miles per hour on a city street 150 miles from home. Dealer service dept said timing chain had jumped, engine failed. According to dealer service department, engine had excessive oil consumption, and said "engine is oil deprived. " car now needs a new engine. Dealer had promised to fix if issue from 2018 returned. The dealer did not honor the promise.

Excessive oil consumption. Vehicle needs to have entire oil reservoir refilled every 3 or so days. When on highway, vehicles seizes up. The car slows way down by itself and the hill assist indicator light comes on as well as the check engine light. It loses control and the car starts shaking. I have seen too many people with this same exact issue and Subaru refuses to help. This is an ongoing Subaru problem and should be recalled!.

I have had a problem with the car burning oil since I bought the car. My oil light comes on after every 1000. 00 miles and it is down at least a quart and a half each time . I change the oil every 3000 miles but I still have to put oil in in between. I ordered this car from a dealership rt from the factory. The oil consumption has been a problem since day one. I have brought it to the dealerships over 5-7 times. They will not acknowledge the problem .

There have been repeated and reoccurring issues related to oil consumption as well as a faulty cvt transmission. Subaru has issued an extended 100,000 mile warranty, but this information was not provided directly to me. I found out about the extended warranty when I took the car in to a mechanic and they had knowledge of the extended warranty. The mechanic recommended I take it to a Subaru service center to try and get it covered under warranty. The car had 94,000 miles at the time I was made aware of this on 6/22/18. Since 6/22/18-11/2/19, I have repeatedly had reoccurring issues with both oil consumption and the cvt transmission. The service department has claimed to have repaired issues, but I have never had resolve of any of them. Instead I feel as though I have been told each item has been repaired. If similar issues have occurred, like the oil light illuminating after the short block replacement, I been given the explanation that it is due to software issues that need updating. These excuses have been given repeatedly until the 12 month warranty of the parts in question has then passed. This same thing has occurred with the slipping cvt transmission that I reported on 6/22/18, and now I am being told the transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $8,000 out of pocket. The car is not even valued at $8,000 anymore. I would strongly advise research into these faulty parts and the consumer deceit that has occurred to myself and millions of other Subaru owners. Deceiving consumers until extended warranty periods pass, and requiring consumers to pay out of pocket should be illegal. I see now why Subaru opted for this extended warranty for both of these issues rather than admitting fault and providing a recall. This allows the deceit and Subaru taking financial responsibility of repairs to occur by looping in the service department into this scam. Do not buysubaru.

Vechile burning oil at a rate of a quart every 1500 miles,Subaru stated that this is normal, mechanics told me this is not normal. . I have had old clunkers with high millage that did not burn this much oil.

The contact owns a 2013 Subaru Impreza. Ever since the vehicle was purchased, it started to consume an extreme amount of oil, more than approximately a quarter every 1,200 miles. At approximately 5,500 miles, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil and a test needed to be performed at 30,000 miles. Per the dealer, the vehicle had to be taken every 1,200 miles for an oil consumption test. After the seventh test, it was determined by the dealer that the small block needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

I have had my 2013 Subaru Impreza for about a year when I started enduring multiple visits to the dealer for low oil. I am being told by the service manager that my oil issue is normal. I have never owned a brand new vehicle that had to be take to the dealer as much as my Subaru. I am having my oil changes done every 3-4 months and having to take it in 1-2 times in between to have oil added. Every time I show up for the oil consumption test I am about 1-1/2 qts low on oil. I purchased a Subaru because they talked about how efficient and reliable they are. Now, I was told that I just need to carry oil in my car at all times. I could understand if this was a used car off of a lot, this was not. This has been the biggest pain of a car and I will be trading it in and never buying another Subaru.

After 3,000-5,000 miles engine oil light came on. I went to a mechanic and they said it was down 1 quart of oil. I asked surprisingly, " how can this be?" " I just had my oil changed and it's a new car. " after adding a quart (and keeping an eye on) the same thing happened again 3,000 miles after my next oil change. This can't be right. I have never owned a car that burns that much oil, unless there is a problem. I believe that this is the case, and Subaru is covering their tail by stating that its normal for the automobile to "consume" that amount of oil. " just look in your users manual. " I don't believe so. I think they need to address this issue if they are to continue claiming customer satisfaction. I am one who is far from it!.

First at 10,496 then at approximately 17,163; 19,031; and 21,182 miles the low oil light illuminated in my car. Between 19,031 and 21,182 miles I added approximately 4. 0 quarts of oil to my engine. This oil consumption is excessive.

I was driving into work in the morning and as I entered the parking area I noticed my oil light come on. I parked the car and checked the oil, and to my surprise there was nothing on the stick. I had just changed the oil less than 2000 miles prior to this and I was concerned. I proceeded to check for leaks and found none. I took the car in to the dealer and was informed that my engine is a quart low on motor oil (0w20), and that this is normal because 2. 0i fb engines burn a quart of oil every 1200 miles at the most. This is absurd, I am a former ase certified mechanic and this was not something I thought to be normal. This cars is rated to go 7500 miles between oil changes, and if I am burning a qrt of oil every 1200 mile then I am essentially changing the oil in between oil changes. To call this a common/normal occurrence is like saying that they care nothing about there customers. The dealer essentially toped off my oil, put a sticker in the window and said in 1200 mile come back and we will start an oil consumption test, but not at the cost of the dealer or Subaru. This initial cost would be charged to me the customer at a cost of almost $100. 00 dollars which I find ridiculous since the car is under warranty and this is a diagnostic of a failure not a normal oil change. When I contacted Subaru of north America I still got the run around, and I feel as if they are hiding the fact that they have a whole fleet of vehicles out on the road ready to blow engines and they are going to do the same thing they did in the past with the 2. 5 and blame the customer.

I bought my 2013 Subaru Impreza and with approx 10,000 miles I got a low oil light on. I found out my Subaru burns a quart of oil every 2500-3000 miles. That is unacceptable for a brand new car. Subaru is selling a lemon.
