What owners report

2025-10-27, Engine
The engine consumes an excessive amount of oil, requiring the addition of about one quart every few hundred miles. There are no visible external leaks, and the issue appears to be due to internal engine components such as piston rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. This poses a risk of engine damage and loss of power. The problem has been observed consistently and confirmed by a repair shop. No crash or safety incident has occurred, but the vehicle's reliability and safety are compromised.

Engine oil consumption issue. It was a known issue. Completed the recommended repair of the piston and rings. Have had constant issues since the repair. Looking for reimbursement for the repair. My engine fell under the guidelines to have the repair covered.

Volvo cars from 2014-2016 has oil consumption due to the bad piston rings design and the manufacturer don’t want to issue a recall for this problem, it’s a serious problem with these models

My Volvo has a known by Volvo defect of consuming too much oil resulting in me needing to top off oil roughly every 6 weeks. Volvo will not cover the repairs in full, I believe this is a safety issue as it could result in a catastrophic failure.
