Hello!
I'm in a long, knock-down, drag-out fight with Subaru re: my 2018 Subaru Forester 6MT.
When I bought the car I specifically asked if the previous well-documented oil consumption issues had been resolved, and I was assured that this was no longer any concern. Unfortunately (for me, anyway - Subaru doesn't seem to mind...), this appears to not be the case. My new 2018 Subaru Forester consumes oil like an old Vega; it can use up to a quart of oil in ~1600 miles. Doesn't seem too resolved to me...!
In any event, my position is that the oil consumption issue still exists and that Subaru was not truthful with me when I asked about oil consumption. Their position is that the oil consumption issue does not exist any longer, and that this is just an isolated failure and as such is simply a warranty issue. Of course, that's probably what they said just before the previous class action lawsuit about this very issue.
So, my question to all of you is: Do any of you have a post-2015 Forester (the 2015 and earlier Foresters have already been identified in a Subaru TSB # 02-157-14R) that consumes engine oil during normal operation?
If you have a 2016 to 2018 Subaru Forester that consume oil, please identify your year, transmission and oil consumption rate.
Thanks!!
