Description of the problem	I have a 2014 subaru outback with an excessive oil consumption issue. Subaru recently settled the class action for the same issue for several vehicle models but not my vehicle is included. My vehicle has shown the excessive oil consumption issue when i drove about 50k miles. I went to subaru dealership, subaru imports of troy in mi, for the issue but they just refilled the oil when i asked them to check it. At 61,721 miles, the dealership first tested it but i believe they overfilled the oil when testing because the issue came back after the test. Whenever i complained about the issue, the dealership just refilled the oil. But recently when i strongly complained about it by mentioning reporting to nhtsa, the dealership asked me to contact subaru america and to get the approval of extended warranty so that they can fix my car. I contacted subaru america but the customer service said that they can't provide me with the extended warranty because i have passed 5year/60km warranty already. I reported the issue to the subaru dealership before the warranty expired but they cheated me to overfill the engine oil and kept refilling when i went there with the low engine oil warning light on. The fact is that the issue came before the warranty but it was not taken care of in a fairway. Subaru america should take the responsibility of the defective part for my vehicle and compensate my times and stresses because i have had to go to the dealership every other month to refill the oil after 50k miles. I have had several vehicles but subaru has only this issue. And subaru america should check the defective engine parts for other vehicles, which are not included in the settlement for the safety of their customers. I am concerned that the dealership and subaru america keep cheating the customers by not taking care of customer safety. Thanks,

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.
