NHTSA Complaint #11045760 — 2013 TOYOTA PRIUS V

1ST - EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION...BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2013, NEVER HAD TO REFILL ENGINE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES OF EVERY 10,000 MILES (SYNTHETIC OIL 0W 20). AT APPX A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK, NO OIL IS REGISTERING. WENT TO A GAS STATION AND PURCHASED 1 QT OF MOBIL 1 0W20 AND AFTER POURING IT IN, STILL NOT SHOWING ANY OIL IN THE DIPSTICK. PURCHASED ANOTHER QUART AND FINALLY SHOWED CLOSED TO HALF ON THE DIPSTICK. I AM NOW AVERAGING APPX 1 QT OF ADD ON OIL EVERY 1200 MILES OR SO, AGAIN USING 0W20. 2ND - POOR MPG...FROM BRAND NEW TILL APPX 70,000 MILES OR SO, WAS AVERAGING 40 - 42 MPG. TOOK THE CAR IN 2015 FOR A SOFTWARE RECALL AND IMMEDIATELY, MPG WENT TO 35 - 36 MPG. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND BLAMES IT ON MY NEWLY PURCHASED ALL SEASON PIRELLI TIRES. WAS TOLD MPG WILL IMPROVE ONCE TIRES HAS MAYBE 1000 MILES OR SO ON IT. ITS BEEN APPX 60,000 MILES NOW AND MPG HAS NOT IMPROVED AT ALL. ALWAYS ON ECO MODE AND GENTLY DRIVES THE CAR JUST LIKE WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW IN PRETTY MUCH SAME PLACES / CONDITION - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. IT SOUNDS LIKE RPM IS TOO HIGH....ITS ALWAYS ON DRIVE AND NOT ON LOWER GEAR (B) AND NO HEAVY LOAD OR TRAILER BESIDES USUAL PASSENGER OF APPX 2 TO 3 (KIDS + ADULT)
