Description of the problem	I have always brought in my toyota for regular maintenance to the dealer every 5,000 miles. In july of this year, the oil warning light began to light every time i hit the brakes. My dealer performed an oil consumption check. By november i was advised to have the engine reconstructed and repair the rings and pistons, because the engine was leaking excessive oil. I also had to replace the brakes. The repairs cost over $3500 and took over a week to complete. I recently learned that this model toyota has a record of stuck oil rings causing excessive oil consumption which leads to engine failure. I feel that this should be a recall item. Engine failure due to loss of oil can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This is a serious safety issue. I would like to be reimbursed for this manufacturer's defect that toyota is fully aware of.
