NHTSA Complaint #10723474 — 2008 SCION XB

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP AND SPENT SEVEN HOURS WAITING WHILE THEY "TESTED" THE CAR. FINALLY, AFTER PAYING FOR AN OIL CHANGE WAS TOLD TO LET THE ENGINE RUN AND COME BACK IN WHEN EITHER THE OIL LAMP CAME ON OR IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. LAMP CAME ON BEFORE MILEAGE WAS THROUGH SO WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT OUR CAR "QUALIFIED FOR RECALL PROCEDURE." WAS NOT GIVEN DATES OR ANYTHING, JUST TOLD WE WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE, ENGINE SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE ABOUT TO STALL EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW AND GIRL ON PHONE SAID THAT IF REPAIRS WERE NEEDED BEFORE PARTS CAME IN, IT WOULD BE OUT OF MY POCKET, AND THAT LOANER CAR WOULD ALSO BE AT MY EXPENSE. FINALLY GOT WORD THAT PARTS ARE IN AND NOW SHOULD BE SCHEDULED SOON FOR REPAIRS. WILL NEVER BUY FROM TOYOTA AGAIN.
