| Description of the problem | Have to keep adding a quart of oil every other week or so. Im checking it all the time! Bought it new from dealer! My mechanic said either valves or pistons. Common problem with this model. I'm very upset. Change my oil every 3 thousand miles. I take very good care of my car. Went on line and others are having the same issues. Its costly to fix and toyota should honor andfix this defect! My first toyota and probably my last. I'll kept adding oil and see what happens. |
