Description of the problem	All toyotas with 2azfe engines and their variants need to be recalled. There is an inherent problem with excessive oil consumption due to a design flaw in both the pistons and rings of the engines. This problem then leads to problems with the emissions systems causing catalytic converter failure, a/f sensor failure and oxygen sensor failure. Toyota has known about the excessive oil consumption oil issue for years and has corrected its design. But, those who were unaware of this problem and never informed of it by toyota are left in the dark. My issue is that the oil consumption now affects the emissions system. It is increasing more difficult to rapidly accelerate due to the fact that this oil consumption has now ruined my catalytic converter and thus making acceleration at the proper rate impossible. I went to accelerate and my car couldn't do it properly, nearly causing an accident. Then i noticed my mil was illuminated. I had it checked and its a p0420 code. I have had the car diagnostically examined and now the car cannot meet the minimum threshold for the car's ecm to conduct a self test, thus illuminating the mil. I have heard of others running out of oil and seizing their engines during operation of their vehicles. This is unsafe. Nhtsa and toyota are both keenly aware of this issue, but nothing has been done to fix the vehicles that are already on the road. I went to my toyota dealership where i purchased this vehicle new and the service representative said that toyota will not fix these vehicles without the customer paying for the repair. The informal quote for the engine alone was $3500. 00 alone, not including the emissions issues. This is an absolute disgrace. I hope you do something about this.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
