Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 I BOUGHT IT ON 06/21/11 USED WITH 51,251 MILES IN EXCELLENT SHAPE IN A HOLLER DEALER I PURCHASED AN EXTRA INSURANCE FROM TOYOTA DEALER WHICH PROMISED FREE OIL CHANGE, ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO I DID A REGULAR CHECK I CHECKED THE OIL TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NO OIL I PUT 2 AND A HALF QUARTS OF OIL IN THE VEHICLE I FIND IT WEIRD OR RARE THIS SITUATION BUT I DID NOTHING AT THE TIME SO ON 11/26/13 I CHECKED IT AGAIN NO OIL AND WHAT'S AMAZING IS THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON LIKE THE FIRST TIME. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TO MY SHOCK I FIND THAT THE TOYOTA RAV4 2006-2008 HAVE A PROBLEM THAT WAS TRACED TO THE PISTON ASSEMBLY AND RINGS. I ALSO FOUND OUT A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH A TOYOTA RAV4 I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND FIX THIS ISSUE I ALSO ASK FOR SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THE TOYOTA DEALER THE TYPE OF OIL THEY USE TO REPLACE THE OIL SINCE ONCE I SMELLED THE OIL FROM THE DIPSTICK IT SMELLED NOT NORMAL LIKE IT SHOULD IN CONCLUSION I ASK THIS ISSUE TO BE HANDLED WITH IMMEDIATELY. *TR
