MY 2013 SUBARU CROSSTREK XV HAS BEEN BURNING OIL SINCE NEW. THE DEALER, AND SUBARU, HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP FIX THE ISSUE. CURRENTLY ITS BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000-3500 MILES. THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT BUT SUBARU TELL ME THAT IT IS OK FOR THE CAR TO "CONSUME" A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. *TR
MY 2013 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK IS BURNING OIL. AT THE TIME THAT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR HAD 43,675 MILES ON IT. I JUST READ WHERE SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 2 YEARS AGO AND FEEL THAT A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL.
ENGINE OIL LEAK CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOW OIL LEVELS BETWEEN REASONABLE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE MILEAGE (BURNING 3 QUARTS IN 1200 MILES). LOW OIL LIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS ILLUMINATE, CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD OF BLOWING MOTOR DUE TO UNREASONABLY FAST OIL CONSUMPTION AND OWNER NOT BEING AWARE OF PROBLEM. CAR HAS 42000 MILES ON IT AND THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT DEALERSHIP/SUBARU ARE NEGLECTING TO PROPERLY FIX.

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON, THE BRAKES VIBRATED. *JB
