I've read every single forum I can find but haven't found a solution. I bought a new 2022 Ascent and noticed a gas smell in the garage a couple hundred miles into ownership. I narrowed it down to the oil dipstick which reeked of gas and was overfilled by about an inch (all my measurements have been taken cold/overnight in the garage which is level). I continued to watch is rise as we continued to drive it to 600 miles at which point it was at the twisty part of the dipstick. I drained and filled the oil and brought it to a perfectly level with the full mark on the dipstick. I was in contact with the dealer I bought it from at this point. They recommend letting them know if it continued to rise. It did.
I brought it in at about 1,100 miles at the service manager came out and took a look and sniff and said "that's not right" and said he would order and install a High pressure fuel injection pump. They also claimed they had never seen this before.
A month later they gave it back to me and said they don't know what else to do. They said to drive it and monitor oil level...which rises on the dipstick about 1/4 inch ever 100 miles.
I see others have this issue and wonder if there's ANYONE ANYWHERE that has any idea what's going on!
We love the car, but don't feel comfortable driving it cross country or doing longer trips with it. Also, I'm not interested in doing oil changes every 500 miles!
Help!
