Loud Engine Noise Problems of Volvo S60

The contact owns a 2013 Volvo S60. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was an abnormal noise under the hood of the vehicle. The contact pulled into the driveway where her husband checked the oil levels. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed and the mechanic determined that there was an oil consumption failure. The contact stated that four quarts of oil was added in the vehicle however, the failure recurred. There were no oil leaks visible. Dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The car was consuming oil at a shocking rate - 12 quarts over the course of 2 months and the oil light did not illuminate, even when the engine was completely out of oil! I opened a case with Volvo USA at the time and was told to bring the car to a dealer. The dealer could not find a leak and did not resolve the problem. I returned to the dealer again for the same issue and it was still not resolved. A few weeks after my most recent visit to the dealer, the car made a loud noise while in traffic going about 30 mph. The car was dead in the middle of atlanta traffic. It turns out the engine "threw a rod" and the entire engine would need to be replaced ($11k)! this car has 78k miles on it. I again reached out to Volvo USA and was told that all goodwill repairs were at the discretion of the dealer and the dealer did not feel any assistance was in order in this case. At this time I have a very good looking and expensive boat anchor in my driveway. After reading many similar complaints on this site, I have once again reached out to Volvo USA for assistance. There is obviously a problem with the 2012 S60 t5 engine.
