| Description of the problem | Bought used 2006 rav 4 from what i thought was a reputable toyota dealer in lake city florida. Within 2 weeks of buying this car checked oil and it was 2 quarts low. Now about every 1000 miles or less this vehicle is using nearly 2 quarts of oil. Please help in this matter. This was supposed to be my daughters going off into the world vehicle but its turning out to be a piece of crap. And a waste of money. I know toyota is aware of the problem and will do nothing to fix it. Lake city toyota are rude and have done nothing to help in this problem. And in hindsight buying this car they were very sketchy in the way they got us there to buy it in the first place. Now i know why. I just want this vehicle repaired. We like everything else about it. But engine failure and or catalytic converter issues down the road is saddening for a vehicle we just paid 7000 dollars for. Toyota we will never buy again. |
