| Description of the problem | This vehicle has not been in an accident. This is not what i am announcing at the moment, but merely to outline the problem of the oil burning on the rav 4. This problem is costing me additional monies that was not catered for that purpose. I am purchasing more than the usual amount of engine oil at the store than i would buy. I simply need toyota to address the issue/problem and fix it. My vehicle is relatively new and there is no reason that i should need a new engine, not for a seven year old vehicle. I would appreciate if the authorities can ameliorate this situation for all toyota owners that are faced with this problem, and fix the engine burning oil problem... Updated 11-06-13 *bf |
