Description of the problem	Check oil light first came on at 5000 miles. After checking the oil, it was determined that i was down two quarts of oil. I got a complete oil change with synthetic oil which is not cheap. Oil light again came back on after another 2500 miles. Had to add another quart of oil. Dealership said this rate of oil consumption was normal, however i insisted on an oil consumption test. Having to add oil three times in 9000 miles for a brand new car is not normal no matter what the dealership says. I had a 2011 subaru impreza sport and the same thing happened. I actually ran myself out of oil and the car stalled going 45 miles an hour down the freeway. I limped it to the dealership and they said i must have had a major oil leak. My garage was and is clean of any signs of an oil leak. I was not even due for an oil change when the car stalled and was out of oil. I traded the 2011 impreza sport for a 2014 impreza sport because i thought the 2011 must have been a lemon. It is expensive to keep having to add synthetic oil to a brand new car between oil changes to keep it running, and i traded in a car with no car payment to get another car with the same issue. Yet, i see there is still no recall for either the 2011 or 2014. Someone else is going to have to stall at high speeds and crash before anything is done by subaru to address and correct the problem, apparently.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
