2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2021

My car was excessively burning oil. It required multiple oil changes and I wasn't notified of the low oil until the oil was nearly empty. Volvo performed tests to confirm I had an oil consumption issue that cost over $500. The initial repair was to replace the piston rings. Now they've told me the pistons are scored from the lack of oil/consumption and I require a new engine. The lack of notifications of low oil and the damage to my engine pose a safety risk. I know this issue is occurring across a wide range of Volvos.
