| Description of the problem | The low-oil light has illuminated twice within the first 11,400 miles. Subaru of america has told that this oil consumption is normal. However, we find it excessive and potentially dangerous. We never would have purchased the car if we had known about its oil consumption. Subaru should place a window sticker warning drivers to carry extra oil to prevent getting stranded with a blown engine. |
