Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2006 RAV4 LIMITED FROM TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH CITY IN NC. THIS RAV4 IS NICE AND RUNS WELL, HOWEVER IT CONSUMES ABOUT 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WHOM INFORMED ME THAT HE EXPRESSED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE TRADED THIS VEHICLE IN AT. THE DEALER FAILED TO LET US KNOW ABOUT THIS EXTENSIVE TSB RELATING TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT IS NOT NICE TO SELL A VEHICLE WITH A WELL KNOWN ACTIVE TSB. IT IS FURTHER UNACCEPTABLE FOR TOYOTA TO NOT HAVE A ALL OUT RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE.
