Two problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 2014 Subaru Impreza. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Subaru Impreza based on all problems reported for the 2014 Impreza.
Check oil light first came on at 5000 miles. After checking the oil, it was determined that I was down two quarts of oil. I got a complete oil change with synthetic oil which is not cheap. Oil light again came back on after another 2500 miles. Had to add another quart of oil. Dealership said this rate of oil consumption was normal, however I insisted on an oil consumption test. Having to add oil three times in 9000 miles for a brand new car is not normal no matter what the dealership says. I had a 2011 Subaru Impreza sport and the same thing happened. I actually ran myself out of oil and the car stalled going 45 miles an hour down the freeway. I limped it to the dealership and they said I must have had a major oil leak. My garage was and is clean of any signs of an oil leak. I was not even due for an oil change when the car stalled and was out of oil. I traded the 2011 Impreza sport for a 2014 Impreza sport because I thought the 2011 must have been a lemon. It is expensive to keep having to add synthetic oil to a brand new car between oil changes to keep it running, and I traded in a car with no car payment to get another car with the same issue. Yet, I see there is still no recall for either the 2011 or 2014. Someone else is going to have to stall at high speeds and crash before anything is done by Subaru to address and correct the problem, apparently.
Check oil light first came on at 2500 miles, had to add a quart of oil and also got a complete oil change. Had to add another 1/2 quart of oil at 6000 and another one again at 9000 due to check engine light coming on. At 2500, dealership said this oil consumption rate was normal. At 9000, during another minor service, was again told my current rate of oil consumption was normal. However, having to add oil three times in 9000 miles for a brand new car doesn't seem safe.
