Oil consumption was a known issue before. Dealership only recommended topped off oil. Oil needed to changed every 3 to 4 weeks or around 1000 miles. Engine seized in the middle of driving, nasty sounds and a lot of shaking. Mechanic said the oil completely leaked out and I changed the oil that same day. Dealership wanted around $900 to even submit an application to review for an engine replacement under the recall and wait a couple months for an answer, but I had a wedding, so not really an option. Paid over 7k for a used engine (yes, that is correct and due to bad market I acknowledged). Screw this company and this car. As the car community claim, they are killing it...
Update from May 7, 2023: 7 months in... Replacement engine goes kaputs. Again, screw this company.
