Consumer Description

THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BURNING 1/2 QUART EVERY 1200 MILES & TO KEEP ADDING OIL. THAT THIS USAGE WAS WNL. AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH I FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT BEEN DEALING WITH. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WILL BE RUNNING OUT SOON. I FEEL THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING. I HAVE FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH THE USA COOPERATE OFFICE. *TR
