Take it back to the dealer! They are not going to "solve" the problem which would mean an engine redesign or at least redesigning the pistons and rings. The best you can do is hope for an engine that does not use excessive amounts of oil. I am on my 3rd engine and it uses oil but I can live with it (1 quart in 1,500 to 2,000 miles).
