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.
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!
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.
Losing oil engine making noise no power
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

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.

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.
