Description of the problem	Engine would try to die when i applied the brakes. The engine light came on and i looked it up in the manual and saw it was the engine oil symbol. I took it in where i had the oil changed last and they said it was 2. 5 qts low. They topped it off and told me to come back after 200 miles and when i did, they said it had used more than it should have. Took it into the toyota dealer and they started the oil consumption test. Yesterday was the final for that and low and behold, they determined that the vehicle was using oil. They said the rings, pistons , valves and etc. Should be replaced for a total of $4,300+. They offered me no assistance but did tell me that they were offering 0 percent on new vehicles. I would never purchase another toyota. I know someone with the same car as mine who spent several hundreds trying to get her car fixed with the same problem and just finally traded it for something else. From reading consumer complaints online, there are hundreds of people having the same problem with this vehicle, please, please step in and make toyota address this issue. Thanks.
