Excessive oil consumption ( 1 qt/400 miles), car is now at 108k miles. oil consumption test done at 83k (used only 1/4 qt so passed) at roswell, atlanta. and i was asked to top up oil during oil changes. no notice received from toyota for oil consumption issues. how come the car consuming just 1/4 qt/1000 miles consuming 1 full qt/400 miles now? (assuming test is done correctly) i dont know. but found on internet that this is an issue with this engine. i woke up late. car is out of warranty since 05/18 for any fix. toyota acted so cheap by not recalling the cars here despite knowing the issue very well. i always thought toyota is known for reliability but not anymore.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota rav4. the contact stated that the oil level was low right after an oil change was performed. the vehicle was taken to c.f. schwartz toyota (1536 n dupont hwy, dover, de 19901, (302) 734-5748) and the oil was changed. the dealer informed the contact to watch and check the oil level after fuel was added to the vehicle. one month later, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed of a warranty enhancement program that required an engine replacement at the cost of $4,000. the warranty had special qualifications, but the expiration date had passed; therefore, the dealer would not cover the repairs. the manufacturer stated that they could not honor the warranty and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was 114,000.

I noticed that i was losing oil between oil changes. the dealer that has always changed my oil found no leaks. they told me that my engine had a recall covering loss of oil but that the warranty had expired six weeks prior. i was never notified about this warranty. if toyota manufactured a defective engine, why is the recall time sensitive? the dealer never notified me that my year model vehicle had this issue. *js
Have excessive oil consumption. engine light kept going on. took it to the toyota dealer that i bought the car and serviced at. they recommended an oil consumption test. performed the test and it failed. dealer and toyota corporate said there is nothing they would do. claimed they sent a recall letter that i never received. i don't believe there was a recall just a major defect in their powertrain. the vehicle is now in my daughters procession and have grave concerns the engine could seaze or catch fire leading to a crash. in researching i found that this is a common defect amongst various toyota modals and modal years. if there was a recall them i believe the toyota dealer servicing the vehicle was negligent to for prescribing an oil consumption test and not telling me of all recalls for my vehicle. if there was no recall then toyota is negligent for knowingly avoiding a defect and not standing by their product. i would like them to replace the defective engine or repair it so the excessive oil consumption is eliminate. any assistance you can provide ...
Started to use a quart of oil every few hundred miles. took it to my local toyota dealer and they confirmed that it needs the new pistons and rings. unfortunately, they will not do it under warranty because my vehicle is 4 months past the warranty extension toyota issued. that policy was for 10yrs or 150,000 miles, my vehicle only has 123,000 miles on it but as mentioned before it is 10 years and 4 months old.
My rav4 is now burning oil. i am putting oil into it before i get to the date of my next service. i've heard about an enhanced warranty that went out to dealers that told about this being a problem with pistons and rings but the dealers chose not to tell customers about it. how do we fix the problem now?
Engine is using excessive oil at the rate of .9 quarts per 1200 miles. dealer said this is normal and toyota will not cover any work under warranty.
I have a toyota rav4 2008 with a 4 cylinder engine. toyota has acknowledged that this engine has an oil consumption problem and had a warranty recall. i never received any notice. i always have the oil changed from the dealer where i bought the car. they never mentioned this recall until it had expired by six weeks. i noticed that it was losing oil so i took it to the dealer and told them about it. they inspected the car and told me their was no visible signs of oil leaking out and then told me about about the recall. they said i could spend 2500.00 dollars to get it repaired. my question is if toyota manufactured a defective engine that loses oil (most likely burning it) then why is this a timed event? if i have this vehicle with this engine then they should correct the recalled issue at no charge to me like everyone else that had this safety issue. the dealer knew i owned this car that was having this issue and never mentioned it. who is going to repair this recalled problem? thanks.
It was recommended by my technician that i have an oil consumption test because i go through a lot of oil. i took it to nalley toyota of roswell ga on 11/7/17 and my car "passed" the test, however my car still consumes oil at rates not healthy for the car. i went to another dealer; marietta toyota in georgia on 6/21/18. they tested the car, added 2 quarts of oil and said that i have an issue, however 10 years has passed since 6/6/06, the first use of the car. i do not believe the oil consumption issue manifested itself in that amount of time between dealer visits. i believe that i was improperly diagnosed by the first dealer because they did not want to have to rectify the problem.
