| Description of the problem | I have had my 2013 subaru impreza for about a year when i started enduring multiple visits to the dealer for low oil. I am being told by the service manager that my oil issue is normal. I have never owned a brand new vehicle that had to be take to the dealer as much as my subaru. I am having my oil changes done every 3-4 months and having to take it in 1-2 times in between to have oil added. Every time i show up for the oil consumption test i am about 1-1/2 qts low on oil. I purchased a subaru because they talked about how efficient and reliable they are. Now, i was told that i just need to carry oil in my car at all times. I could understand if this was a used car off of a lot, this was not. This has been the biggest pain of a car and i will be trading it in and never buying another subaru. |
