Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2012 Scion iQ

Starting back in october took car in for oil change, i was told car had no oil. i bring my car in for regular oil changes, so was not sure what was going on, so i dismissed it... brought car back today 01/10/18 had them check the oil levels and the car needed 2 1/2 litter of oil... i was told it might be the pistons... please recall

When cold the cv transmission in the iq will not allow the vehicle to pull away up a steep hill. this has happened several times and represents a serious safety concern. the issue only happens when the car is cold, it will pull the same hill with no problem when warm. the iq has a cv transmission and it fails to adjust to a high enough rpm to pull away up a steep (10%) grade. the problem manifests as either no or very slow forward progress (less than walking speed) even with the accelerator hard down. the dealership service rep seemed unconcerned about the issue. *tr
