| Description of the problem | We have had two ongoing issues with our 2014 subaru forester. We purchased our car when it was two years old have had oil consumption issues and a hard time getting our key out of the ignition after driving. On our last trip to florida from ny and back we had to purchase and use two quarts of oil. We had a oil change just before we left. This has been going on since we purchased the car. In 2019 i never thought i would have to pull over to check and add oil to a car. The dealer says this is normal for the car. We had at least three consumption tests done and they came back negative. I'm currently afraid to take my car anywhere since the key and ignition are unpredictable. I never know if i will be able to get the key out. Very disappointed with our subaru. It is our second subaru. We had no issues with our last car. |
