Consumer Description

I NOTICED THE OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK WAS AT THE "NEED TO ADD A QUART" MARK AFTER 5,000 MILES. THE 2007 TC ONLY HAS 65K MILES. I NOTICED THAT WAS PRETTY STRANGE GIVEN IN MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER CARS, THEY WILL ONLY NEED ABOUT A QUART OF OIL AT 150K TO 200K PLUS MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS MATTER TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE 65K MILES SERVICE AND OF COURSE THE TYPICAL DEFAULT, TRAINED, CONDITIONED, DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF BURNING OIL. IT IS AFTER I READ OTHER TC OWNER REPORTS THAT WERE FILED WITH NHTSA THAT THIS IS REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO LOOK INTO A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANKS. *TR
