We had a customer park his truck on the other side of highway from Dealership with signs all over it about Toyota not honouring their warranty
even though he was out of warranty parameters. He sat there for about 3 weeks, manager even went and talked to him, would not move. Finally got the cops
involved as he was disrupting traffic. He moved but came back daily until he got what he wanted. Front wheel bearings. Was a happy customer after that.
weird Duck.

It was consuming around a quart per 1,000 miles which apparently was within their specs. I ended up giving up getting them to acknowledge the problem, and got a surprisingly good price from the used car team at the same dealer LOL. That’s the end of our VW experience.

I have a ‘13 Kia Optima 2.0 Turbo for my daily. Overall it’s been a good car, but I did get the engine replaced under warranty a few years back. No issue at all with the warranty since you could hear the rods knocking and Kia had a massive recall around the issue. Neither engine had an oil consumption issue, but there are still a handful of outstanding recalls I need to take it in for.

Echoes of the original Rabbits. VW had the Nerve to put in the 1978 owners manual that 500 miles a quart should be considered normal oil use. They were eventually forced to pay for new valve guides and head R & R
