It was one that they extended the warranty on for a couple of years around 2014. They built them for several years with bad piston rings. The ring coating would break down, causing excessive wear and oil consumption. The oil on her car was low 2 quarts by 4000 miles after an oil change, but they wouldn't replace the engine because it had to happen in the first 2000 miles. If I recall correctly, the system only held 4.5 qts. They still wanted her to change oil every 7K.
