2006 TOYOTA RAV4 Engine Problems

Two days ago my car was driving perfectly on the highway. The oil pressure light turned on I turned off the highway immediately and put more oil in the car. At this point my car is consuming over a quart every week and I don't drive more than a couple of hundred miles every week. I've taken several longer trips with this car. I started the car back up after checking the oil level, started driving and the light didn't come back on. About 10 more miles down the road on the highway the oil pressure light the check engine light vsc light the four-wheel drive light appear. I go to an AutoZone and I get a code p0012. I've done lots of research and I've learned that this is all related to Toyota's well-known defective design and manufacturing of their engines. I have a 2az Fe engine. I bought...

2006 Toyota Rav4 with 2.4 liter engine burning oil rapidly. Burning approximately 4 quarts of oil in 3,000 miles. Vehicle currently has 100,000 miles. Issue persists even though I maintain routine maintenance on the vehicle. Luckily no safety hazards have occurred yet, but there is a high risk for potential safety hazard. Vehicle has been inspected by 3 different mechanics. I have been told by 3 different mechanics that this is a common issue for cars with this year/engine. About 2,800 miles after high synthetic oil change the vehicle begins to sound like it is struggling to accelerate at low speeds and the check engine oil light will briefly turn on at random then go away. Light does not stay lit or continuously flicker.

excessive oil consumption 1 1/2 quart oil every 600 miles

This 2006 Rav4 engine is known for its massive oil consumption due to the faulty piston rings. Always kept oil in it and had regular changes because of this issue. Checked the oil 2 days prior to the engine failure, and all was well. Driving down the hwy going around 70mph, the engine started to lose power and sound funny (high rpm sounds with no power), so I took my foot off the gas and coasted for a few seconds. Down to 50mph, I hit the gas pedal, and then a loud BOOM happened and car shook. Smoke from the engine, and then all the dash lights came on. Lost all power. Looked under the engine and a piston had blown a hole through the bottom of it. Needs new engine now. Mechanic inspected it and they documented with a picture. Thankfully I was not injured as that could have...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING AND EXCESSIVELY BURNING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT COULD CAUSE A POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A WARRANTY RELATED CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE ENGINE HAD BEEN ISSUED HOWEVER, THE TIME-FRAME WAS EXCEEDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL DUE TO BAD PISTON RINGS. I DID SOME DIGGING FOUND THAT THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED THIS WAY.

THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY FILLED UP THE OIL AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 3000 MILES BUT TO NOT FILL THE OIL. HALFWAY IN, THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED. BECAUSE IT HAD NOT BEEN 3000 MILES, I COULD NOT TAKE IT BACK FOR A FIX. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ADD OIL OR THE ENGINE BLOWS. WHEN I DID TAKE IT BACK, I WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSE THAT THE VEHICLE BURNS A NORMAL AMOUNT OF OIL AND I TOLD THEM I HAD TO FILL IT IN BETWEEN TO AVOID THE ENGINE BLOWING. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAD WRITTEN "NORMAL" CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL AT A VERY RAPID RATE AND I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL LIKE MAD. I PURCHASED IT THREE WEEKS AGO AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. I HOOKED MY OBD II SCANNER AND NO CODES POPPED, WHICH MADE ME GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE IT. I HEARD ABOUT THE TOYOTA 2AZ-FE ENGINES HAVING OIL ISSUES, BUT THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. MY MECHANIC CHANGED MY OIL A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO AND NOTIFIED ME THAT I WAS A QUART LOW, BUT FILLED IT FOR ME. HE TOLD ME IF I WAS CONCERNED TO MONITOR IT, WHICH I HAVE. TONIGHT, FEBRUARY 27, 2020, I CHECKED MY OIL WHILE IT'S STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HAS NOT BEEN ON FOR OVER FOUR HOURS AND IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE LOW LEVEL LINE. I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT 163,035 MILES. IT'S NOW LOW AT 163,260 MILES! I'M SCARED AND CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT BECAUSE BEING...

MY CAR HAS BEEN CONSUMING LOTS OF OIL HOWEVER I WAS NEVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE WHEN I WENT TO GET OIL CHANGED THEY INDICATED THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY LEAKS AND THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY ALTHOUGH I RETURNED TO TOYOTA CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS SERVICE ADVISOR ACKNOWLEDGED THAT LEAK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED CLOSER. SERVICE ADVISOR VIEWED OIL EVERYWHERE UNDERNEATH HOOD AND IT AGAIN REQUIRED 2.5 QUARTS ON OIL IN THIS SHORT TIME FRAME. I WAS ADVISED TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1K MILES AND BRING BACK TO DETERMINE WHERE LEAK WAS LOCATED AND THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH REPAIR COSTS HOWEVER I BROUGHT BACK WITHIN 584 MILES AND VEHICLE AGAIN HAD CONSUMED ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF OIL YET NOW ADVISOR AND SERVICE MANAGER INSISTED THEY COULD NOT HELP WITH ANYTHING. ONLY AFTER BEING VISUALLY UPSET ABOUT THE...

2.4 ENGINE BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL. APPARENTLY, OTHER TOYOTA MODELS WITH THE SAME 2.4 ENGINE HAVE HAD FREE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR THE 2.4 ENGINE IN MY 2006 RAV4 TO STOP THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING. IT NOW BURNS ONE QUART FOR EVERY 500-600 MILES.

LOSING OIL ENGINE MAKING NOISE NO POWER

TAMARA RECALL ENGINE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE IT'S AN RECALL BUT, IT HAS NOW EXPIRED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE. I NEED HELP FROM AN ATTORNEY ON THIS MATTER. BECAUSE THIS ISN'T RIGHT. CAN YOU RECOMMEND AN ATTORNEY? THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY DO NEW RINGS AND NEW PISTONS BACK THEN BUT NOW TOYOTA WILL NOT EVEN DO THAT. SO NOW I JUST HAVE A 5,000 BILL FOR A NEW ENGINE.

OIL LIGHT CAME ON SECONDS BEFORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD. ENGINE REQUIRED FOUR (4) QUARTS OF OIL. NO WARNING OF LOW OIL!! I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT THIS TIME!

EVER SINCE MY VEHICLE HIT 100,000 MILES, IT HAS BEEN BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY AT THE RATE OF ABOUT 2-3 QUARTS EVERY 800-1000 MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 116,000 MILES ON IT. PRIOR TO REACHING 100,000 MILES, IT WAS TESTED BY TOYOTA VIA A SERVICE "BULLETIN", NOT A "RECALL" FOR THIS ISSUE, AND PASSED. BUT, AFTER REACHING 100,000 MILES IT WAS TESTED AGAIN, AND FAILED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE, MAKING REPAIRS FINANCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE

IT WAS RECALLED FOR MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION. BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE IT FORBPERSONAL REASONS. RECALL EXPIRED IT CAN NOT BE FIXED. NOW CAR IS CONSUMING ALOT OF OIL. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

BURNING ENGINE OIL, TURNS OUT NEED TO FILL ENGINE OIL VERY FREQUENTLY. SEARCH ONLINE, IT'S A RECALL. BUT IT'S EXPIRED FOR ME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 50 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KERRY TOYOTA (6050 HOPEFUL CHURCH RD, FLORENCE, KY 41042, 859-371-3939) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS USING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. ADDITIONALLY, A QUART OF OIL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE WEEKLY AND THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (TOYOTA OF YORK, 1885 WHITEFORD ROAD, YORK, PA 17402, (717) 755-2961), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE CONTACT DECLINED TO PAY THE FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

TOYOTA OIL CONSUMPTION. WHEN CHANGING THE OIL, THE OIL PAN ONLY DRAINS ROUGHLY 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF THE CAR AND THERE WAS. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN TYPING IN THE VIN IT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLE. BUT IT DID MATCHED EXACTLY WHAT THE SYMPTOMS OF THAT RECALL WAS. I CALLED THE 1-800 CUSTOMER HELP LINE AND THEY WERE UNHELPFUL. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXPIRED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT TAKE ACTION WITH THE RECALL. THIS CAN BE A HUGE ROAD SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL DUE TO THE PISTONS RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

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

2AZ-FE OIL BURNING PROBLEM. CURRENTLY BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES

TWICE IN THE LAST 24 HOURS THERE HAS BEEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING FOR A STOP.

BURNING OIL. I HAVE TO PUT OIL ALL THE TIME. MECHANICS SAID CAR CAN'T FIX BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY CHANGE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEMS. THE CAR BURN GAS AS WELL.

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.

PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 159,000 MILES. NOTICED IT USED AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF OIL. ENGINE SIEZED UP AND FAILED AT 165,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA RAV4. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BURNED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 1801053296. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

NOTICED AT ABOUT 98,000 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS USING MORE OIL THAN EXPECTED. I NOW FIND AFTER A DEALER TEST THAT THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL AT THE RATE OF 2 QUARTS PER 1200 MILES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS EXCESSIVE AND IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD WHICH WAS MOSTLY KEPT QUIET BY TOYOTA I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE REPAIRS FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO ALLOW ALL THE ONES INCLUDING MYSELF AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE REPAIRS. TEST WAS DONE ON 12/22/2017.

2006 TOYOTA RAV4 WITH 51,000 MILES: MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH AND CAR DIED, LEFT MY DAUGHTER STRANDED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. HAD IT TOWED AND IT WAS AN ENGINE FAILURE. YES, ENGINE FAILED AT 51,000 MILES. OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOYOTA WON'T DO A THING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA RAV4. WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITHOUT WARNING. AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE TWO QUARTS OF OIL LOST WITHIN 1,100 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JONES TOYOTA (1508 BELAIR ROAD, BELAIR, MD 21014) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,900.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THREE WEEKS AGO, AUGUST 2017, AT 100,000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO ADD 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY OTHER WEEK.

THE CAR STARTED KNOCKING, WENT STRAIGHT TO A SHOP AND IT TURNS OUT IT HAD NO OIL IN IT. WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE BUT NOT TO THE POINT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF OIL AND HAD NOT SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF LEAKING.

IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION IN MANY DIFFERENT TOYOTA VEHICLE MODELS INCLUDING MINE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, WHICH WAS NOT PERFORMED AS I DROVE OVER THE REQUIRED 1200 MILES. HOWEVER, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO HAVE THE BOTTOM PART OF THE ENGINE REBUILT. NOT ONCE DID THEY MENTION THE ONGOING PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM I HAD TO THINK ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL MORE OFTEN THAN NORMAL. AFTER GETTING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH ONLINE DID I FIND THAT MY ENGINE CAN SEIZE AT ANY TIME EVEN WITH OIL IN IT. ALSO, IF I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS NOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT MY...

2006 TOYOTA RAV 4. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ENGINE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED WHILE BEING DRIVEN. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE A HOLE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE ADVISED ON HOW A HOLE COULD FORM IN THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED. *JS

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND FILLED IT. TWO WEEKS LATER I HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK AND IT WAS LOW 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I SET MY TRIP ODOMETER. IT HAS BEEN 2000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD TO ADD 4 QUARTS OF OIL TO MY ENGINE. I AM TOLD THIS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS DUE TO BAD PISTONS THAT WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED. I UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE A COSTLY REPAIR.

MY RAV4 HAS BEEN CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE STATION, I AM TOLD IT NEEDS ENGINE OVERHAUL TO INCLUDE PISTON AND QUOTED 5258$. WHEN ENGINE OIL SIGN ON DASHBOARD HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JUNE 2016, AND EVERY 5000 MILES THE SERVICE CENTER TOPS THE OIL IT GOT FIXED. AND INTERMITTENTLY, I HAD TO TOP THE OIL. THE MATTER HAS GONE UNDIAGNOSED UNTIL 6/28/17. WHEN I LOOK BACK IT WAS A GLOBAL ISSUES WITH TOYOTA HTTP://WWW.TOYOTAPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION/ I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY LETTERS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA SAYING THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM EXPIRED IN OCTOBER 2016 AND THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE AND NOW I AM FACED WITH A BIG BILL.

ENGINE STARTED EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL AT APPROX 110,000 MILE MARK. TOOK TO DEALER. WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID. ENGINE WOULD BE ALMOST DRY AT 3,000 MILE MARK. THEY DID A CONSUMPTION TEST, SAID IT PASSED. WHEN I ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE SINCE IT SHOULDN'T BE DRY AT 3,000 MILE MARK. THEY TOLD ME TO WATCH IT AND COME BACK. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WAY BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED, 3,300 MILES, BONE DRY, THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR, THEY KNOW IT, BUT REFUSE TO RECALL DUE TO COST. THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ENGINE.

I HEAR A RIDDLING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE EACH TIME I START THE CAR. CLICK SOUND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL.

THIS CAR HAS THE INFAMOUS TOYOTA EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE 2.4 L I4 ENGINE. IT BURNS A QT OF OIL IN 2000 MILES OR LESS.

COMPUTER PROBLEMS CAUSING ALL THE LIGHTS TO COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND DISABLING THE SHIFTING SOLENOID. IT ALSO DISABLES THE SAFETY BRAKING AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE.

MY 2006 RAV4 HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS BURNING 1/2 QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 MILES. I AM PAYING $3500 TO HAVE THE PISTONS AND RINGS REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING EAST ON I-490 FROM ROCHESTER TO I-90, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND DIED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PARKED ON THE RIGHT CURB. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND NOT ON THE FREEWAY. POWER STEERING WAS OF COURSE LOST, SO THE MANEUVER WAS DIFFICULT. AAA TOWED THE CAR TO OUR REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY REPORTED 24 ENGINE CODES WERE THROWN, AND RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE ENGINE TUNE-UP, INCLUDING REPLACEMENT OF THE SIX IGNITION COIL PACKS, SPARK PLUGS, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS. MUCH OF THE $1,000 EXPENSE WAS 4.5 HOURS OF LABOR, TO REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (NECESSARY TO REACH THE REAR BANK OF CYLINDERS 1,3,5). THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE IGNITION COILS HAVE FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE. IN OCTOBER 2012 (AROUND...

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION MY CAR'S ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. WHILE I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS, IT IS GETTING SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AND I HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL MULTIPLE TIMES BETWEEN MY SCHEDULED SERVICES. SINCE I AM AWARE OF THE ISSUE I'VE BEEN DILIGENT ABOUT CHECKING MY LEVELS, BUT I FOUND OUT IT WAS AN ISSUE WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING (I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN IN A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME).

AFTER MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT FLICKERED BRIEFLY A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING. I HAD THE OIL CHECKED AND FOUND IT VIRTUALLY EMPTY, WE PUT A QUARTER IN AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FILLED MY OIL AND TAPED THE OIL CAP AND HAD ME RETURN BETWEEN 1000 AND 1300 MILES. TODAY I TOOK IT IN AT 1200 MILES AND WAS 2 QUARTS LOW. HAVE HAD ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES DONE AT 3000 MILES AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THEY CLAIM A LETTER WAS SENT OFFERING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY COVERED REPAIRS IF I HAD AN ISSUE DURING THE 10 YEAR PERIOD THEY WERE OFFERING WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. I NEVER SAW SUCH A LETTER. MY CAR NEVER HAD LOWE OIL RECORDED UNTIL MY ONE OIL CHANGE WHERE I WAS BASICALLY EMPTY. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA, BUT THEY ARE SAYING...

THE CAR IS BURNING OIL AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN I GOT THERE THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANT. BUT I KNOW BY DOING RESEARCH THAT IT IS.

BAD ACCELERATION,ENGINE WILL NOT PICK UP FAST, IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE ENGINE SOUNDS HIGH, THE CAR WILL NOT PICK UP THE SPEED UP FOR FEW SECONDS AND IT JUMPS IN THE TRACK. ALL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME,VEHICLE LOST THE POWER AND I LOST CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE,I HAD TO STOP IN FREEWAY AND CALL TOW TRUCK.THIS CAR BURNS OIL SO FAST EVERY 1000 MILES I HAVE TO PUT NEW OIL ON THIS CAR.

OIL COMPSUMTION RECALL HAS NOT BEEN HONORED.

10/26/15 WAS SERVICED BY GERMAIN TOYOTA, NAPLES, FL, OIL TANK WAS EMPTY AND ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN 3711 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE (THERE WAS NO LEAK). I PUT A QUART OF OIL IN SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THEY PERFORMED THEIR VERSION OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CLAIMED IT PASSED THE TEST. 3/11/16 OIL TANK WAS EMPTY AND CAR WAS OVERHEATED. IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN 2496 MILES SINCE THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE. THEY SAID IT HAD PASSED THE PREVIOUS TEST & ALL WAS OK. 10/7/16 OIL TANK WAS EMPTY, HAD BEEN DRIVEN BUT I HAD PURCHASED 3 QTS OF OIL AND ADDED IT TO THE EMPTY TANK. PRIOR TO ME ADDING THE OIL, CAR WAS EXTREMELY OVERHEATED AND I GOT BURNED TRYING TO GET THE HOOD UP. I COULD NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE ENGINE OR WOULD HAVE BEEN...
