Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCT, 2015. AROUND DEC 2016 I NOTICED THE CAR WAS BURNING OIL AT AN UNUSUAL RATE. APRIL OF 2017 I REPLACED THE GASKETS AND A WEEK LATER AT ONLY 850 MILES THE ENGINE WAS BONE DRY, NO OIL AT ALL. THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON IT WILL ONY FLICKER FOR A SECOND. I HAVE ALMOST BLOWN MY ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO PULL INTO GAS STATIONS TO PUT OIL IN JUST TO MAKE IT HOME. TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE CONSUMERS. THIS WILL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX IF WE EVERY FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALREADY SPENT $160 AND THE NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES.
