Description of the problem	I was driving into work in the morning and as i entered the parking area i noticed my oil light come on. I parked the car and checked the oil, and to my surprise there was nothing on the stick. I had just changed the oil less than 2000 miles prior to this and i was concerned. I proceeded to check for leaks and found none. I took the car in to the dealer and was informed that my engine is a quart low on motor oil (0w20), and that this is normal because 2. 0i fb engines burn a quart of oil every 1200 miles at the most. This is absurd, i am a former ase certified mechanic and this was not something i thought to be normal. This cars is rated to go 7500 miles between oil changes, and if i am burning a qrt of oil every 1200 mile then i am essentially changing the oil in between oil changes. To call this a common/normal occurrence is like saying that they care nothing about there customers. The dealer essentially toped off my oil, put a sticker in the window and said in 1200 mile come back and we will start an oil consumption test, but not at the cost of the dealer or subaru. This initial cost would be charged to me the customer at a cost of almost $100. 00 dollars which i find ridiculous since the car is under warranty and this is a diagnostic of a failure not a normal oil change. When i contacted subaru of north america i still got the run around, and i feel as if they are hiding the fact that they have a whole fleet of vehicles out on the road ready to blow engines and they are going to do the same thing they did in the past with the 2. 5 and blame the customer.

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.
