Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2014 Subaru Outback

At 70,000 miles (rounded) engine began leaking oil from both cam carriers and the upper oil pan. Oil leaks on exhaust system causing a burning oil smell and can see smoke emitting from under the car. Estimate to repair is $2050 from Subaru dealership. Have heard rumors of other 2. 5i engines having same problem. Very dangerous, can cause engine fire as oil leaks directly on exhaust pipe. Problem (burning smell) is most noticeable first thing in the morning when oil has had chance to leak overnight. More prevalent in cold weather (when metal and gaskets contract from the cold).

My vehicle keeps burning engine oil after 3,000 to 4,000 miles driving. I have had the issue since November 2017 and went to Subaru dealer to check it and they said as long as engine oil is the same level after 1,200 miles, engine oil burning is normal. When I asked Subaru dealer to add the oil, they changed the engine oil and charged me by saying that it is a normal condition. Even Subaru issued technical bulletin for the engine oil burning issue, they treat the complaining customers in a sneaky way. The synthetic oil should run over 5,000 miles without burning in the engine and I had no issues with other brand cars such as Ford. Nhtsa should warn Subaru to manage customer complaints in a proper way. It is related to driver's safety as I find only 1/4 quart oil left after 4,000 miles driving, which I don't think is not a normal condition for the passenger vehicles. Thanks for helping in advance.

I have a 2014 Subaru Outback with an excessive oil consumption issue. Subaru recently settled the class action for the same issue for several vehicle models but not my vehicle is included. My vehicle has shown the excessive oil consumption issue when I drove about 50k miles. I went to Subaru dealership, Subaru imports of troy in mi, for the issue but they just refilled the oil when I asked them to check it. At 61,721 miles, the dealership first tested it but I believe they overfilled the oil when testing because the issue came back after the test. Whenever I complained about the issue, the dealership just refilled the oil. But recently when I strongly complained about it by mentioning reporting to NHTSA, the dealership asked me to contact Subaru America and to get the approval of extended warranty so that they can fix my car. I contacted Subaru America but the customer service said that they can't provide me with the extended warranty because I have passed 5year/60km warranty already. I reported the issue to the Subaru dealership before the warranty expired but they cheated me to overfill the engine oil and kept refilling when I went there with the low engine oil warning light on. The fact is that the issue came before the warranty but it was not taken care of in a fairway. Subaru America should take the responsibility of the defective part for my vehicle and compensate my times and stresses because I have had to go to the dealership every other month to refill the oil after 50k miles. I have had several vehicles but Subaru has only this issue. And Subaru America should check the defective engine parts for other vehicles, which are not included in the settlement for the safety of their customers. I am concerned that the dealership and Subaru America keep cheating the customers by not taking care of customer safety. Thanks,.

At 38,000 miles low-oil light came on while driving. I stopped at a madison WI dealer who indicated the consumption is normal. I argued that I have never had a low-oil light come on in over forty years of driving. Was told they would be glad to conduct an oil consumption test.

I will be calling them on Monday to report this issue.
