Consumer Description
MY VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL IN EXTREME QUANTITIES, A QUART EVERY 800-1000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DENIES TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE TO FILL MY ENGINE WITH THE OIL EVERY 2800 MILES OR SO OR TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. MY ENGINE, I'M AFRAID WILL DEFECT IN DRIVING CAUSING HARM TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME BECAUSE I DON'T FOLLOW MY MILEAGE AND ONLY WAY I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN I'M BRAKING THAT'S THE SIGN THAT I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGE. NOW ITS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL EITHER EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS COMING OUT THEIR EARS ALL THE TIME WHEN THAT MUCH OIL IS BURNED INTO THE AIR AND FUNNY THING IS IT DOESN'T EVEN SMOKE IN TAIL PIPE AND VEHICLE PASSES EVERY EMISSION TEST. HOW??? I DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS THAT MY ENGINE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFAULTED PARTS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE GUY THAT OTHER YEAR TOYOTAS HAVE DIFFERENT PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND I ASSUME IT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR OUR CARS TO RECEIVE THOSE BECAUSE WE PAID FULL AMOUNT FOR THESE CARS AND WE SHOULDN'T RECEIVE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I ASK YOU TO PUSH THIS FOR A RECALL BECAUSE TOYOTA OWNS THIS TO ITS OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR
