| Description of the problem | I noticed when applying sudden brakes low engine oil light came on but it went away when brakes were released. I thought it may be time for oil change and got oil change done shortly. That problem didn't came back till few months later. I had my oil change done from the dealer and the service was not due yet so i went to the nearby auto shop and they told me it didn't show any oil in the dipstick so they did the oil change and filled it up(no visible problem noticed). I thought i will get it inspected with the dealer on my next visit. Next time when i went to dealer i mentioned it and they were too busy to check that but they did visual inspection and didn't see any problem or leaks. Again after same issue they told me to come after 1200 miles after oil change but they didn't find any problem. I had to carry the oil with me just in case as the nearby auto place told me it was abnormal. I had to top it up again shortly as the dip stick showed no oil. I complained to the dealer again and they told me to come back after 2500 miles and they sealed the knob with silicon or something so it cannot be tampered with and they told me to come on weekday so they can talk to the toyota engineer. When i returned they tested it and found normal consumption and no problem found. I am still facing that problem and i called toyota hotline and they told me that they would go by the dealers opinion on that and there was no known problem on the vehicle. When i read these posts on this website then it definitely seems like a problem and now my vehicle is not under warranty either . My engine is still fine, only problem is i have to change oil too frequently. If something happens to engine in future i definitely hope toyota will cover it since they haven't identified any problem on my engine after so many visits. |
