NHTSA Complaint #10648281 — 2007 TOYOTA RAV4

MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 STARTED TO CONSUME COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF OIL LEAKAGE AND NO SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. I ALWAYS HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AT A TOYOTA DEALER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. AFTER MY RECENT OIL CHANGE, I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1,500 MILES AND HAD TO PUT IN 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I ASSUMED THIS WAS A FLUKE AND TOYOTA DID NOT FILL THE OIL UP. BUT NOW AGAIN, I DROVE ANOTHER 1,500 MILES AND THIS TIME IT WAS BONE DRY ON THE DIP STICK. I DID NOT RECEIVE A LOW OIL LIGHT. I ADDED ANOTHER 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING IT UP TO THE BOTTOM LINE. *TR
