Description of the problem	The low oil indicator came on a few months ago. I checked the oil and i was over 3 quarts low. I took it to the dealer and they dismissed it and told me it was a common problem. It happened again and i took it to a different dealer. They confirmed it was 3+ quarts low. I asked why it gets so low before a light turns on. They didn't know, but told me there was a national repair program because of a problem with oil consumption. The program had just closed and i did not qualify for any follow up warranty because of miles on the car. I called toyota and they refused to acknowledge a problem with the car and told me that they would not consider my car for any repair. I don't know how long i have been driving with low oil because the indicator does not warn me until there is barely any oil left in the engine. I don't know the extent of damage that has been caused because of this. The dealer told me that i need to check my oil weekly in order to keep the levels up and prevent any further damage. I am concerned i will have a total engine failure at any time because of the design flaw and refusal by toyota to repair this defect. I am driving a time bomb. I cannot in good conscience sell this car to some unsuspecting buyer and i cannot afford to replace the car at this time because i am in school. This car is unsafe to be on the road. At any time the engine could seize up and with the car being a hybrid and a utilizing a specialty transmission, when it does happen, it could cause a major accident. This is not safe. Toyota needs to repair all of the vehicles affected by this known defect.
