| Description of the problem | Toyota recall: i took my 2007 toyota camry to the local toyota dealership for the recall. They had a 3 phase test and it used a quart of oil after 1000 miles, but i had to bring it in a third time, then they said i failed the test as i went over the mileage for the 3rd visit. I called toyota and they let me file a complaint but also said i failed to meet the qualifications as i went over the mileage even though it had already used a quart of oil the after 1000 miles. I asked for the specific requirements and they were vague and stated the dealership made the determination around toyota's guidelines. I took it again for the last and final oil recall and they then said i went over the mileage for the oil recall test the second time (1700 miles) that it was a bit low and they topped it off as a curtesy, but i was no longer eligible for the recall. Today after 3000 miles from my last oil change and their topping it off the oil was down 4 quarts of oil. I feel that that toyota is making this difficult so that a consumer fails the recall and they do not have to fix the pistons on the engine. |
