| Description of the problem | Got an oil changed and about 3 weeks after heard engine making a funny knocking and ticking sound. Looked under hood to check fluids and the oil was completely dry! Had to fill it up w quarts of oil, and constantly dump oil into engine because it was burning up so rapidly every 2/3 weeks, mate nice light would come on indicating low oil, received a letter from toyota indicating they have a problem w the car consuming engine oil to rapidly, confronted the local dealer ship of my issue n they insist i must pay out of pocket to repair engine which now is knocking very loudly n has no acceleration at 95. 00 an hr then they can perform engine oil consumption test to determine if that was the reason for my failure! Which i know is!!! I have researched it and found there is a class action lawsuit on toyota dealing w this specific issue! How do i get my vehicle fixed with out having to pay for their engine failure and poor manufacturing? |
