Description of the problem	While driving my care on the highway the "low engine pressure" light came on. I immediately exit the highway and went to the gas station. All the oil in my car leaked out. We put 4 quarts of oil in my car and when you turn on the car all the oil leaked out. I call for a flat bed tow truck and drop my car off to the dealer. Toyota has a recall 2gr-fev6 lsc 90k, which has this issue. The toyota dealer is saying my vehicle vin # is not effected by this. How could this been when the same exact thing happen to my car and they are replacing the parts that are part of this recall. They are charging me $900. 00 to fix the car. I need help. My toyota life time warranty does not cover this!!!!!..... This is a serious safety issue. I believe toyota is covering it up so that they do not have to have all the vehicles fixed due to this malfunction.
