| Description of the problem | After 1200 miles, i took the car back to toyota for second part of their oil consumption test, and was told it didn't use any oil. After picking up my car up from my trusted mechanic (who said 2/3 of toyota's recommended repairs totaling over $1600 were not true), i was told he had to add oil b/c it was low. This is yet another example of toyota lying to customers so they do not have to incur costs or issue a valid recall. They claim burning oil is "normal", and only if their "test" proves so, they would replace the piston rings - they are lying about these test results to avoid having to do the expensive repair. |
