Consumer Description
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ( 1 QT/400 MILES), CAR IS NOW AT 108K MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT 83K (USED ONLY 1/4 QT SO PASSED) AT ROSWELL, ATLANTA. AND I WAS ASKED TO TOP UP OIL DURING OIL CHANGES. NO NOTICE RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA FOR OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. HOW COME THE CAR CONSUMING JUST 1/4 QT/1000 MILES CONSUMING 1 FULL QT/400 MILES NOW? (ASSUMING TEST IS DONE CORRECTLY) I DONT KNOW. BUT FOUND ON INTERNET THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE. I WOKE UP LATE. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE 05/18 FOR ANY FIX. TOYOTA ACTED SO CHEAP BY NOT RECALLING THE CARS HERE DESPITE KNOWING THE ISSUE VERY WELL. I ALWAYS THOUGHT TOYOTA IS KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY BUT NOT ANYMORE.
