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 ...

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 ...
