Dry start. told by mechanic engine will fail without $3000 repair
The vehicle burn excessive amounts of oil. any driving for more than two hours will lead the vehicle to be empty of oil. this excessive oil burning happens quickly over highway and slowly driving city.
My 2007 rav4 burns excess engine oil and by the time. after about 2000 miles i would get the engine oil light and no oil is left in the engine.

Excessive oil consumption may lead to engine failure
My 2007 toyota rav4, 113,000 miles, is experiencing serious excessive oil consumption. toyota first acknowledged this vehicle had an excessive oil consumption problem in 2011 when it issued a technical service bulletin (t-sb-0094-11) . i took the car in to a toyota dealership and it was supposedly repaired. in 2014, toyota was then the subject of a class action lawsuit by toyota owners who alleged continuing problems with excessive oil consumption. toyota entered into a settlement. in 2015, toyota offered an extended warranty repairs. i took my car in to the dealership and it was supposedly "repaired." in recent months, the problem has gotten much worse. at one point, i heard odd engine noises. i was alarmed to see the oil level was so low that it didn't register, despite the fact i had gotten an oil change a few weeks earlier. i called toyota on 9/10/2018 and i was informed that the extended warranty has expired and that i am responsible for paying to fix the car that toyota twice failed to fix. to no avail, i told angie, at toyota's national consumer affairs division, that. toyota's supposed "fixes" were insufficient and did not work. she said that's my problem. as a result, i have a car that is unsafe. despite frequent oil changes, the engine can run out of oil and seize up at any time, leaving me (a 67-year-old woman) stranded in the desert in 120 degree temperatures or on the roadway in the middle of the night. excessive oil consumption has been a common complaint among owners of the owners of 2007 toyota rav 4 vehicle for years. toyota clearly has failed to do what it admits it was obligated to do and promised to do - fix it. why hasn't the government already stepped in to require toyota to immediately repair the affected vehicles? individual consumers have no power to make multi-national corporations respect their rights and the law.
My toyota rav4 (2007) started showing signs of excessive oil combustion. i started having oil changes every 2-3k miles. 1200 miles after my last oil change the engine seized due to a lack of oil. the vehicle was stationary at a convenience store when it died. i've since learned that the issue is known and their is a tsb that was issued to dealerships.
The motor mount are broke from corrosion. and my muffler was replaced for the same this...
Vehicle consumes or burns excessive oil. engine is no longer functioning. engine stopped working while on the road.
We were driving on the autobahn in germany (mil family) when the engine stalled without any warning. our oil level was fine the day before we stalled. we check our oil every weekend since our rav4 has a very high oil consumption rate. our eggine seized while we were going about 90 mph with other cars around us going even faster. we are lucky to have not caused an fatal accident. we would like something done about this.
On july 24, 2018; i contacted temecula valley toyota regarding my 2007 toyota rav 4 with 122,00 miles on it. i contacted them to speak regarding the excessive use of oil that my vehicle was recently using. i have been diligent about bringing my car in for all recalls and have inquired each time if there was anything that should be fixed under warranty or recall that needed to be addressed on my vehicle. before contacting toyota, i looked online to see if any other vehicles were having this same problem. i found out that there was a lawsuit for this exact issue. it was titled the economic loss class action settlement. it reads that toyota rav 4 with the years 2006-2008 rav 4 should be entitled to be repaired if they are brought in for repair within 10 years or 150,000 miles. it does not state whichever is less. however toyota is implying because my car is over 10 years old that this is not their responsibility. as states previously, my vehicle has 122,000 miles on it. it is under the amount required for the lawsuit. in addition i have brought the vehicle in before the 10 year warranty expired and it was never mentioned to me that this could be covered at the time of repair for other recalls. i was bringing this vehicle in to be repaired prior to a family emergency that i would have to use my vehicle to drive through several states. the vehicle had an oil change before i left. my vehicle used up all of the oil before i made it half way. the pressure in the engine was so hot that it blew the oil cap off and nearly blew up my engine and the oil light never came on. this occurred within approximately 1,000 miles being driven. i was traveling on the i70 west towards kansas. there are few places to turn off, near vail, colorado. it endangered my life and the life of others during the time that i was stopped on a freeway on a mountain.
My rav4 truck was taken to the dealership for service as oil light came on, however, truck was not due for an oil change as service was done may 2018. technician informed me that the truck was burning oil and required the replacement of pistons inside engine. at that time, i was informed that under the excessive engine oil consumption warranty, it would be covered at no charge to customers. unfortunately, the warranty is expired for my truck and nothing can be done by toyota. however, regular maintenance on the truck never indicated a problem and no mention of this issue was ever addressed by the technicians. a year ago the truck would have been covered and now my safety and the safety of others is being compromised. of course, engine failure did not occur until after the warranty period even though regular oil changes were being done. just because the warranty is expired doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist! why is a company allowed to put lives in danger? toyota is quick to address a recall issue yet doesn't seem to think this is such an issue. in no time, you could be out of a car/truck without you even knowing why especially when services are being done in a timely manner. how is it that dealer service centers know when you haven't done a recall on your car yet don't address/advise an issue that potentially be a problem if not taken care of in the long run. i guess the customers safety is not a priority.

Oil burn , exxcesive
At 94k miles my car started burning alot of oil, and i am told by toyota that this is normal?? every 1200 miles i am adding at least 1 1/4 qt. this is not normal and they know there is an engine issue- but refuse to take responsibility for it!
Excessive oil consumption
Burning multiple quarts of oil over several thousand miles of normal highway driving. 1000 mile drive results in being 1.5-2 quarts low.
Takata recall-i just purchased this used vehicle a couple of months ago. it started using oil right away. the toyota dealership says it's a problem they're well aware of, and, if i had brought it in before august, before i had purchased it or ever even seen it, it would have been covered, but now they want $5000.00 to rebuild the engine!
My car burns massive amounts of oil. i get regular changes at goodyear. i took it in to toyota wolfchase memphis for not 1 but 2 recalls and asked about the amount of oil it was burning. they informed me this vehicle per vin# had a warranty enhancement on it b/c piston does not sit properly and that is why the large consumption of oil. they also informed me i was "too late" that it expired 5/6 months prior. i made them aware i was not notified of any warranty enhancement and they said their hands were tied. nothing they, toyota service dept. could do. i called toyota and a rep said it was not the law to legally notify me of the warranty enhancement since i was not original owner. after much disagreement i asked for a supervisor who called me back and informed me legally there was nothing i could do and they could not help me with the bill if i got this piston fixed. i asked her if the original owner was notified bc i could not imagine not getting it fixed. i said this one model has so many recalls! it is a lemon. then again she explained they could do nothing. she never stated if the original owner was notified. (this was one owner car) i am now using about 7 qts of oil per 5k miles. yeap 7 quarts. i began buying in 5 gallons and writing mileage on the bottle before i add any. (it was 3 per 5k and has increased to the latest high of 7 in the 2 yrs. since i purchased. i am an older driver and baby this vehicle. at the date i found out about the piston under warranty enhancement i was in for 2 recalls!!! seat belt and rear suspension! toyota said if i had my oil changed there, i would have been notified of warranty enhancement?? but i was too late. this was 12/6/17
Driving on expressway the low oil light came on dozens of times while braking.. toyota rav4 2007 with only 69k miles started to consume 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles... dealer did an oil consumption test - which proved that engine is burning oil. since car is more then 10 years, even though the mileage is very low - toyota refuses to cover repair costs. dealer's quote for repair was $4,300.
Massive consumption of oil. my 2007 toyota rav4 consumes approximately a quart of oil in 500 miles. this is very excessive and means that i have to fill the oil 10 times before the "5000 mile" oil change. toyota did issue a tsb and ran the car through a test and deemed the loss of oil acceptable which i find ludicrous. acceptable is being down 1/4 a quart after 5000 miles. but if i waited til my oil change the engine would be destroyed. and the very least they need to issue a recall and fix the problem.
Excessive oil consumption leading to the engine problem, nearly stalling on highway (my two young boys in the car), very dangerous. i was able to pull into a gas station - almost no oil in the engine. i change oil every 3k-4k miles. as i read up more on the issue, toyota has a design flaw in its pistons, leasing to oil consumption (2006-08 rav4) with the 2az-fe engine. toyota performed the oil consumption test (2 step on 10/05/2017), my car failed (too much oil consumption), but toyota will not fix, as my rav4 pass the warranty date. bought the rav4 at toyota of morristown, nj in may 2007. other toyota models also use the same engine. they sold me (and many others too) the rav4 even with the known design flaws. it will cost over $3.5k to rebuild the engine at toyota. i never received any notifications, they only issued a fix in 2011 within toyota dealerships. models impacted: camry 2007-11, camry hybrid 2007-11, corolla & matrix 2009, rav4 2006-08, solara 2007-08, scion xb 2008-09 and tc 2007-09
I'm writing in regards to toyota tsb 0094-11 "2az-fe engine oil consumption. my vehicle is using oil and the dealer tells me now i need to rebuild the engine. i brought it in the first time, but the bulletin said i could have two checks. today was only the second check
My car has failed inspection because of leaks in the mufflers. living in a cold weather climate, the roads are salted constantly and my muffler should not have rusted and have holes in. the material is not sufficient enough for heavy salting. i believe the v6 engines have this recall but not 4 cylinder.
Total engine failure at 115,000 miles due to excessive oil consumption. burned through 4 quarts of oil in less than 3 weeks time. need a new engine or engine rebuild. will be $4,000 to fix. toyota is aware of the issue and had issued enhanced warranties for vehicle n the past. we purchased the vehicle in 2015 after notifications had been sent. issue often becomes apparent around 100,000 miles according to research. calls with toyota have been unsuccessful at any sort of recourse for this. toyota customer service rep claims to receive multiple calls per week on this issue. our engine failed on a major interstate. while traveling 60 miles per hour.
2007 toyota rav4, on sat august 26th we were driving from madison wi to milwaukee wi on i94. just shortly before we reached johnson creek the car made a strange noise and then the noise went away. as we were driving past johnson creek the engine made a pop sound and i lost power and i coasted to a stop along the side of the freeway. i noticed smoke or steam coming from the engine compartment, i opened the hood and there was a fire in the engine compartment. i removed some items in the car and my wife called 911. by the time the johnson creek fire department arrived the rav 4 was completely engulfed in fire. the car was a complete loss

Engine oil consumption on this vehicle is unaccepted, toyota knew this problems and should make a recall years ago about this issue
Excessive oil consumption caused engine to leak oil
Excessive oil consumption - uses 1 quart of oil every 1,500 miles or less. we have to constantly check the oil level and my wife is now afraid to drive the vehicle fearing that the engine will seize up if we have failed to check the oil level. note: i've had to "dummy" a date because this is a continuous problem and not just one date.
Takata recall i have owned this car for almost two years now and ever since i have owned the car the car has had a oil consumption issue . meaning i drive 40 miles a day monday through friday and at the end of the week i need to add oil to it. after 200 miles a car should not need oil . i have had multiple people look at the car and it doesn't have a leak the car is consuming the oil. i belong to many toyota car forums online and many other cars my year model are having the same issue . this is something that needs to be
Oil burning
During cold start and sometimes warm start, the engine makes a 2-3 second rattles coming from the cam gears due to lack of oil lubrication
This vehicle falls under the excessive oil consumption issue; the dealerships won't repair it under warranty, i need to add oil to it weekly, it has no value and can not be sold due to this and i'm worried that the engine will seize. this vehicle has been a large financial loss and toyota knew that this was happening and didn't send out a recall.
Since i purchased this vehicle in sept.2006 i have had to replace 6 ignition coils. #4 has been replaced twice as of yesterday march 28,2017. the problem first began in 2010. i believe this is a safety concern due to the fact that when this issue arises my cruise control disengages and any vehicle following behind will see no brake lights and may rear end the vehicle. the vehicle also becomes sluggish and will not respond like it should.
Ongoing excessive oil consumption. using approximately 1 quart for every 1200 miles
Oil consumption of more than 2 quarts in a week. purchased vehicle used from toyota dealership october 2016. this vehicle is used for school and going to atlanta for appointments over 50 miles from my home.filed a claim with toyota but was told that i was over the 10 year mark by 2 months havent reached the 150,000 mark yet just at 135,000 miles.
Car had been using excessive oil.while i was driving on interstate, cruise control failed ,warning lights came on , started flashing and then car quickly lost all power. barely got off the highway onto the right side of interstate. very dangerous condition exists with these vehicles. i consider myself lucky.
Takata recall the engine consumes large amounts of oil in short amounts of time . making it dangerous to drive.
Oil consumption, uses a lot of oil and have keep checking and adding freqently
Starting in 2014, i had to refill 1 qt of oil every ~1200-1500 miles despite meticulous maintenance. after receiving a "warranty enhancement notification" letter from toyota motor sales u.s.a., inc. addressing excessive oil consumption, a first oil consumption test was initiated at a toyota dealership in october 2015 and evaluated in december 2015. according to the dealership, the car passed this test; oil consumption would still be within engine specification. this was a surprise, given that the official maintenance schedule requires an oil change every 5000 miles, and that the permitted oil consumption in such an interval according to engine spec. could lead to severe engine damage, or failure. a second oil consumption test was initiated in september 2016, and evaluated early december 2016 by the same toyota dealership. this second test confirmed an excessive oil consumption, i.e. the test had failed. i was told that the engine would be repaired under the warranty enhancement free of charge. soon after, i was informed that the enhanced warranty period of my vehicle had expired 10/31/2016; therefore, any cost for the engine repair would no longer be covered. consequently, the engine repair was cancelled. the dealership argued that although the oil consumption test was initiated during the warranty period, the confirmation of the condition took place after warranty expiration. the oil consumption test requires me to drive 1100-1300 miles before i can bring the car back to the dealership for evaluation. the dealership responded that it would have been my duty to drive the required mileage before the end of the extended warranty coverage. i checked the detailed conditions of the warranty enhancement and found no written statement mentioning that the test has to be evaluated before the warranty expires; it is only stated the test has to be initiated during warranty. *tr
Excessive oil consumption. notices my vehicle used 1/2 a quart of oil in 480 mile. took it in for excessive oil consumption test. dealer indicated i may have to do $170-$1200 in gasket replacement to qualify for warranty repairs. first i could not see what they were talking about, i.e. not leaks visible/apparent to me. also this did not make sense especially since the repairs they indicated i may need to do, will have to be redone during the warranty repairs. when asked why, they said they had to require them to be done because toyota hq would stick them with the warranty repair bill if they disagreed with them as to whether to authorize the warranty repairs. toyota has admitted they have a design flaw in this engine in this vehicle. why won't they fix it without such a hassle. this needs to be made a formal recall so they are forced to stop taking advantage of their customers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota rav4. the contact's vehicle received a recall repair that involved rebuilding the engine. a month after receiving the repair, smoke appeared under the hood when accelerating. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine blew out because fuel from the fuel injector leaked onto the engine. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the nhtsa campaign number and failure mileage were unknown.
Excessive oil consumption, i am adding 1 quart of oil every 10 - 13 days about 300 - 400 mile in between i went for the oil consumption test 2 times the dealership told me it passed the test but still the engine is consuming a lot of oil
