| Description of the problem | Just recently purchased a used 2006 toyota rav4... Because i've owned two previous to this one and simply appreciate them... However.... I've only owned this one since may of 2013 from a reputable dealership and to much surprise i am already experiencing technical difficulties. At about 1. 5k miles after an oil change, my oil light comes on... Checked the oil and it was low to the point where i had to add an additional quart on the 1st occasion and 2 quarts on the 2nd occasion... May i add that there is no leak. Who is going to hold toyota accountable? I need help and answers. |
