| Description of the problem | There was no accident . I am reporting and filing a complaint about a "engine oil consumption problem" "major engine and piston problem." in my car a toyota solara 2007. This problem started 9 months to a year ago and i have to keep putting in oil so often (every month) it seems ridiculous as my car is only (6) years old and the problem started at (5) years old. I have enquired and see that there were many other complaints of the same type (service bulletins-t-sb-0094-11) previously. I strongly believe there should be a recall on this problem. This should not be happening to such a new car or at all for that matter. I have always believed in toyota cars i was under the impression they have one of the best engines made. What's happening! This is very disturbing to me. Please respond. Thank you. |
