| Description of the problem | Burning 1 qt of oil every 600 miles. Toyota acknowledges there is a design defect but won't fix since it is past the warranty extension. How am i supposed to know there was a warranty extension? They said the dealer would tell me when i go into service. But, i say that i don't go to my dealer for service. They say that is why i should go to a dealer for service. Really shady way to say you have provided a warranty extension for a known design defect but then do not provide adequate notification to the consumer. I have had the oil light go on well before the next oil change. This defect causes the engine to burn up to 4 to 5 quarts of oil between oil changes so can easily lead to an engine failure. This oil consumption defect can cause engine failure in a moving vehicle so it is a potential safety issue. If engine failure happens then it will cause an accident. |
