Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL THUS A RECALL TO CONDUCT TESTING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE TO TEST THE OIL CONSUMPTION. HOWEVER, THEY SCREWED THE TEST RESULTS BY OVERFILLING THE OIL TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THERE WAS NO OIL BURNING ONCE THE TEST WAS COMPLETED. THEY WANTED ME TO DRIVE BETWEEN 1200-1400 MILES THEN LOOK AT THE DIP STICK. BUT THEY OVERFILLED THE OIL ON PURPOSE TO EFFECT THE RESULTS. *TR
