| Description of the problem | My rav4 has been consuming excessive oil and when i took it to the toyota service station, i am told it needs engine overhaul to include piston and quoted 5258$. When engine oil sign on dashboard has been going on since june 2016, and every 5000 miles the service center tops the oil it got fixed. And intermittently, i had to top the oil. The matter has gone undiagnosed until 6/28/17. When i look back it was a global issues with toyota http://www. Toyotaproblems. Com/trends/excessive-oil-consumption/ i did not receive any letters from toyota about this issue. Toyota saying the warranty extension program expired in october 2016 and they will not provide any assistance and now i am faced with a big bill. |
