Consumer Description

I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF OIL. PERIOD BEFORE 3,000 MILES. NO "RED" OIL LIGHT. IT JUST RUNS OUT OF OIL. I TOOK IT FOR TOYOTA OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND IT PASSED. SO I GO FOR A SECOND TEST. NO. THE 10 YEAR 150,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. SO I AM NOW STUCK PUTTING OIL IN THIS VEHICLE WEEKLY UNTIL IT ULTIMATELY FAILS. IT RUNS ROUGH AND I EXPECT IT TO FAIL. SHAME ON NTSB AND TOYOTA FOR NOT RECALLING THIS MOTOR. I GET A 10 YEAR WARRANTY THAT STARTS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST USED - NOT WHEN I'M NOTIFIED. VERY SHADY AND UNETHICAL. I ALSO HAVE RESERVATIONS THAT THE TEST WAS PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED.
