I thought this may be related to a turbocharger as I've never had a turbo charged engine? is this a defect?
And it gives me a "low oil" warning every 2000 miles so I have to add a quart of oil. What does this mean? I asked the dealer they claim the oil consumption is normal and that it is NOT covered by scheduled maintenance since its not an oil "CHANGE". I have never owned a car that ever told me the oil was "LOW" before a regularly scheduled oil change so this does not seem right.

I have only had to top up on oil twice in 14,500 miles. Its not uncommon to have top off the oil every several thousand miles, even more so that the car is turbo charged.
The tractor sound you describe is likely due to the engine technology - Direct Injection - my truck which has direct injection makes this clattering/diesel like sound as well. This is considered normal operation.
