Consumer Description

I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE 01/20/13 THAT MY RAV4 HAS BEEN LOW ON OIL. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED, AND HAVE CHECKED IT MYSELF, AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE SO LOW IT DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK, AND ONLY AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 1000 MILES. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE HAD TO ADD ANYWHERE FROM 1-3 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET IT TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE ON THE DIPSTICK. THERE ARE NO LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THERE'S NO NOTICEABLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE YEARS OF RAV4 VEHICLES. I AM SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING, WITH HAVING TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE AS I DON'T HAVE A SECOND VEHICLE. I FEEL TOYOTA HAS LEFT ME HOLDING THE BAG FOR A DEFECT THEY WON'T ADMIT IS THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT/ENGINEERING. *TR
