Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AS USUAL AND NOTICED RED ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I BRAKE FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHEN I GOT HOME AND REALIZED THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK AT ALL! I ENDED UP PUTTING IN ABOUT 2 QTS OF OIL TO RETURN IT TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. AFTER RESEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND BASICALLY THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA HASN'T BEEN HONEST ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS POTENTIAL PROBLEMS LATELY. PLEASE PRESSURE TOYOTA TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. OTHERWISE I WILL NEVER BUY ANY TOYOTA PRODUCT AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME, I RECALLED MY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE FROM, HAD PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED THAT OIL PAN COULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING OIL. I WENT UNDER THE CAR, AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE AT ALL! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS KNEW ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND WAS TRYING TO MISGUIDE ME! *TR
