Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE AFTER FINALLY FINDING A BETTER DEALER (TOWNE TOYOTA, LEDGEWOOD NJ BAD, TOYOTA OF MORRISTOWN GOOD) I HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PERFORMED. I FAILED (DUH, BEEN ADDING EXTRA OIL BETWEEN CHANGES FOR TWO YEARS WITH NO LEAKS ON THE DRIVEWAY). I WAS A MONTH OUT OF "EXTENDED COVERAGE" FOR VEHICLES 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE. FRIENDLY DEALER SAID TO CALL HQ AND PLEAD MY CASE. I DID AND AFTER SOME FRIENDLY CUST SERV REP, WAS STILL TOLD SOL. I HOPE SOMEONE GETS A CLASS ACTION GOING. I WILL BE GETTING THIS REPAIRED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN. (EVEN MY BRZ SICKENS ME A BIT SINCE TOYOTA HAD A HAND IN IT).
