2009 SCION TC Engine Problems

My scion TC is using an extreme amount of oil to where I am putting 2-3 quarts in the motor per week. The extreme usage of oil can cause the engine to blow up due to lack of oil staying in the engine. My oil light will flash after couple days indicating low oil. A dangerous situation that can happen is the engine stop working while I'm driving on an interstate and possibly cause a serious accident or even an engine fire. There was a Toyota bulletin on this issue back in 2015. My car was bought in 2013. According to Toyota, they claimed they had sent notice to the address listed under this VIN. We received no such notice and even requested Toyota prove they sent it, but they would not. When I asked them about this case in regard to this issue, they have mentioned Toyota would no...

2009 Scion tC consumes to much engine oil due to bad pistons installed by manufacture and needs to be repaired before major engine problems occur. I also found out I’m not the only one having this issue. I’ve just purchased the vehicle.8

THE BOLTS I. THE MOTOR MOUNT WORK THERE WAY OUT AND CAUSES COMPLETE TOTAL OF THE VEHICLE

MY 2009 SCION TC HAS BEEN BURNING THROUGH OIL AT A FAST RATE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO FILL IT UP WITH OIL EVERY WEEK. I STAY PRETTY LOCAL AND RARELY GO OUT OF TOWN WITH MY VEHICLE. IT IS CAUSING A VERY ROUGH IDLE IN MY CAR. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT HAS NOT GONE THROUGH WITH IT. BY THE LOOKS OF MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WITH NO OIL BEING IN A CAR IT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO BLOW UP AND MY CAR IS CONSTANTLY GOING THROUGH OIL BEFORE EVERY 1000 MILES.

HELLO, BACK IN 2016 I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT SAID THAT TOYOTA WAS HAVING THIS OIL PROBLEM WITH ITS VEHICLES BURNING TO MUCH OIL. THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A CERTAIN TEST ON YOUR VEHICLE AND MAKE YOU DRIVE IT 1200 MILES AND IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILED THEY WOULD COVER FIXING THE PISTON ISSUES THAT WERE A MANUFACTURED PROBLEM ON THERE PART. I WENT AND AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS 131,049 MILES ON IT. THEY TOOK IT IN BUT CAME OUT SHORTLY AFTER SAYING MY ENGINE WAS NOT THE ENGINE OF MY VEHICLE MEANING IT HAD BEEN REPLACED. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH A CLEAN TITLE CHECKED THE CAR FAX AND THERE WAS NOTHING ON THIS VEHICLE STATING THAT THE ENGINE HAD ANY WORK ASIDE OF SMALL WORK LIKE OIL CHANGES. MY VEHICLE RAN FINE AND DID NOT BURN OIL AT THAT TIME, NOW IT'S...

HELLO- I RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER AND WAS ADVISED IN THAT LETTER THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK MY CAR AND THE LETTER FOR TOYOTA TO CHECK MY CAR. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS CHECKED UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT MY CAR HAD NO ENGINE OIL. AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS 2K MILES AWAY FROM A NEW OIL CHANGE. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED THAT TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIANS NEVER TESTED OR CHECKED MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY CAR IS SALVAGED.

THE CAR IS USING 8-10 QUARTS OF OIL A YEAR. THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, BUT THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL AND WITHIN SPECIFCIATIONS.

ENGINE BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL. USE A QUART EVERY 500 MILES.

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2009 TOYOTA SCION USING EXCESSIVE OIL. WE HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY 1,200-1,500 MILES AS THE CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP IF IT RUNS OUT OF OIL. THE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WE HAVE PUT OIL IN BUT THE LAST TIME WE CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS LOW AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROGRAM. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WITH 1,200 AND THEY SAID THE CAR PASSED THE PROGRAM. AFTER 1,500 MILES, THE CAR WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO TOYOTA IN SUNNYVALE, CA. THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL AND ADVISED US TO BRING IT BACK IN JANUARY FOR A SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST....

I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE PASSPORT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OIL IN IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT SIMILAR MODELS WERE EXPERIENCING "OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES", AND I SHOULD DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AND RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TESTING. AFTER COMPLETION OF THE TEST, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN FACT BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY BUT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS SELECTED TO BE APART OF THE TOYOTA SERVICE PROGRAM. *TR

THE ENGINE IN MY 2009 SCION TC HAS BEEN BURNING OIL INTERNALLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THE CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL WHICH IT ALMOST DID. TOYOTA CONSTRUCTED THE ENGINE IMPROPERLY AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT WHICH INVOLVES REPLACING THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE ENGINE SUCH AS THE RINGS AND PISTONS. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, TOYOTA REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM BUT OFFERED TO REBUILD MY ENGINE AT FULL COST. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT EVERYONE WHO PURCHASED A CAR MADE BY TOYOTA WITH THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR WEEKLY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. OTHERS WHO HAVE CARS...

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA REPORTS A TSB REGARDING A PISTON ISSUE. MY ENGINE COULD BE AT RISK ON BREAKDOWN. TOYOTA WAS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE 2007 BUT CONTINUED TO SELL VEHICLES WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 23, 2012, MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED WHAT WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE ENGINE FAILURE. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE MY VEHICLE OVER TO A HIGHWAY SHOULDER AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ENGINE TYPE (2AZ-FE) 2.4 L PRODUCED BY TOYOTA, ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ENGINE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
