Consumer Description

THE CAR USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 45,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND HAS SENT ME A TSB. UNDER THE TSB THEY WILL TOP OFF YOUR OIL, SEAL UP ANY WAY THAT OIL GOES IN OR OUT AND YOU DRIVE 1000 MILES AND THEY MEASURE THE OIL TO SEE IF YOU HAVE LOST A FULL QUART. I HAVE NEVER IN MY 40 YEARS OF DRIVING HAD A CAR THAT LOST THAT MUCH OIL. TOYOTA IS AVOIDING TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX IT. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BAD PISTONS.
