Description of the problem	My 2007 camry hybrid had a high level of oil consumption from the time i bought it.... When i would take it to get oil changes there would be no advising of a leak, so while i thought it to be very odd and inconvenient i continued to top off my vehicle , as frequently as my check engine oil light came on. On july 26,2017. My "car maintenance required" light came on i told myself i'd go to the mechanic on that weekend which was only a couple days away. Only july 27,2017 on my way to work i started to hear a very loud knocking noise. I had no clue what the noise was but i pulled into an auto zone and popped the hood. It was the engine that was knocking very loudly. I turned the car off and i checked the oil. The dipstick was bone dry. Where did 5 quarts of oil go in less then 3,000 miles of driving? Why was there no engine oil low warning on my car? I took the car to a shop where my engine was pronounced dead, which toyota charged me $115. 00 to diagnose. There was an extended warranty on this vehicle because these models were notorious for drinking up oil and i had no idea about it. The toyota rep said there was letters sent out before the extended warranty expired to the previous owner. I had no idea this was a known issue! There were no letters mailed to me and i purchased the vehicle right around the exact same time the extended warranty expired. The toyota mechanic said i have to find a way to pay for the repair and a rebuild engine is $5,000 or i can buy a brand new engine for 12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only reason i decided to purchase a toyota was because of how they're well known for lasting forever. How was a supposed to know about this situation? And i am very disappointed. This is ridiculous and i hope they plan to rectify the situation. If the engine had given out while i was on the highway, i could have lost my life

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
