Description of the problem	In october of 2013, i purchased by way of lease, a brand new 2014 subaru forester. Right after purchasing a 2014 subaru forester i began to have issues with the oil consumption in my vehicle. In example, before my first oil change of 3,000 miles, i had to have my car assessed by the oil technicians as the oil light kept coming on. The oil technicians would ? Top? Off my fluids and along i went. Sadly, after having my 3,000 mile oil change, i continued to have issues with oil consumption. I think i paid a visit to the oil technicians at least once every 6 weeks or so; so much so that the oil technicians were tired of seeing my vehicle. I practically developed a personal relationship with the oil technicians. If they did not know me by name, they were at least familiar with my vehicle. To make a long story longer, this month (september) or better stated less than a year of having a 2014 in my possession, while still being in the year 2014 with 3 months left to go in this year, i had some major work done to my vehicle. Up to and including a replacement of the engine. Please see the attached invoice to see all the items that were replaced. Now you are problem asking well how many miles are on the car? There are only 7,600 miles on the vehicle. In other words i put maybe 760 miles on my vehicle per month in less than a year. Opportunity: clearly, i was sold a high priced lemon; a dud. In order to improve on customer satisfaction, it is in my opinion that subaru should provide me with a 2014 subaru forester that is not defective or one that does not have design flaws. No vehicle with less than 8,000 miles and less than a year old should require an engine replacement. Please be advised that after the work was done now the car has a vibration and feels as if it is going to shut off.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
