Description of the problem	I have had excessive oil consumption since the first 3k miles driven on the car. I have gone through a slew of consumption tests, had the short block replaced and i am continuing to have the same issues. Subaru's only offer is to go through more consumption tests and a possible 2 motor replacement. Or, they will upgrade me to a new model. This is a common issue according to the numerous subaru owners that are posting online - and it is frustrating that they were sued for this exact issue, yet continue to manufacturer cars with defective motors, and offer little resolution to the consumer. Why would i want to upgrade to a new subaru to have the same issues i have had since the first 3k miles on the one i have now? I feel they need to refund their customers and discontinue the manufacturing of this motor! It is not normal to burn through oil at an alarming rate (1 quart every 2000-3000 miles) - it isn't just consuming the oil, but the oil in my car is black after just 1200 miles on the new motor that has less than 12k miles on it. I camp and trail in this vehicle, and to be stranded in the middle of no where with an oil light on and no where close by to pick up synthetic oil, or any oil is very bothersome. I should not have to carry oil in my 2015 car that i got brand new! How do they get away with ripping off so many consumers and not issuing a recall?
