I'm unable to make a determination if anyone was at fault with information provided. I'm not too sure that the late model turbo 4 engines are junk but the jury is still out.
If I were you I'd call the local dealer and ask if they can help out with it. The clue that something was going on (and not being resolved) was the ck engine light staying on like it was. What was the code that turned it on (the actual description, not the P number)? If they can't help and you have full coverage insurance I'd get the insurance company involved.

This is from dealer "verify check engine light on connect sds scan for codes found fault with oil pump valve perform guided test actuate valve voltage is supposed to fluctuate with cycle of pump valve actuation found no change in voltage found test failed recommend replacement oil pump valve and internal sub harness. Guest declined repairs at this time."
Dealer didnt say oil pump failure, more on the valve. They drained it 10d ago as part of Service B. These guys wanted to resue it but accidentally dumped it, so used new oil.
The code was P06DA00-The actuation of the valve of the oil pump in the combustion engine has an electrical fault or open circuit.
I think Geico covers new cars with mechanical breakdown insurance. They do not provide for 3+ years. So how do you think insurance may cover this?
