| Description of the problem | There was a recall regarding oil consumption. I took my vehicle to the dealer. They filled up the oil and told me to come back after 3000 miles but to not fill the oil. Halfway in, the oil was completely exhausted. Because it had not been 3000 miles, i could not take it back for a fix. I had no choice but to add oil or the engine blows. When i did take it back, i was given the response that the vehicle burns a normal amount of oil and i told them i had to fill it in between to avoid the engine blowing. They refused to fix the recall. I contacted toyota who also refused to fix the recall because the dealership had written "normal" consumption. The vehicle burns oil at a very rapid rate and i would like this recall performed on my vehicle. |
