Consumer Description
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED LAST APRIL. LESS THAN 30 DAYS LATER I REALIZED IT WAS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK SOME SPARK PLUGS AND IT WOULD BE FINE. FEW DAYS AFTER HE "FIXED THE PROBLEM" I HAD TO ADD MORE MORE OIL. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO HIM HE SAID THAT 2006 RAV 4 TOYOTA RAV 4S ARE KNOWN TO BURN EXCESSIVE OIL. HE SAID HE WOULD PROVIDE ME WITH CAR TO TRADE AT NO COST. ALMOST ONE YEAR HAS GONE BY AND THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. I FEEL THAT HE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK BUT I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
