Description of the problem	This model toyota has a record of stuck oil rings causing excessive oil consumption which leads to failure of engine and catalytic converter. See new york times oct 14,2011 and the hundreds of on line complaints about using one quart of oil every 1 k miles. In april of this year my dealer did a complete check with oil change, in june the oil was down one quart and in september i did another oil change with only two quarts of oil left in the pan when it takes 4-1/2 quarts. I took my rav 4 to the dealer(11-23-2013) i bought it from and without looking at it i was told the oil rings get stuck and i need an engine repair for $2,660 plus tax and most likely a new catalytic converter for $2,500. I had them check it out and i got a written document with the repair that is needed documented. This "needs" to be a recall item. If a car doing 70mph has an engine failure due to loss of oil then the person will loose steering and brake control leading to a serious accident and most likely death. Toyota did two recalls on my car in april, door switch needed a drop of oil and rear suspension needed to be re-torqued. Made a big deal out of what cost pennies to fix. Now a $2,660 engine repair and we need to go to small claims court of class action suit or plead to you to help us get this a recall item.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
