| Description of the problem | My 2007 toyota rav 4 is experiencing excessive oil usage which toyota knows is a problem with vehicles that has a 2az engine. It is believed that if the engine siezes due to this excessive oil usage for a vehicle that is in motion, the brakes and steering failure could cause loss of control and result in a crash. As such, i believe toyota should be forced to issue a safety recall to correct this issue immediately. |
