| Description of the problem | Hello, my wife owns a 2007 toyota rav4 with 108,000 miles on it. It received an oil change at 103k miles, and i just brought it in to the dealership for a suspicious (and loud) top end noise, and the engine appeared to be empty of oil when the dealership checked it. There were no warnings, other than the check engine light coming on at precisely the right time to indicate the next oil change. Also no puddles of oil in the driveway. This appears to make me (at least potentially) an interested party in the toyota oil consumption defect class action lawsuit , april lax, et al. V. Toyota motor corporation, et al., case no. 14-cv-01490, in the u. S. District court for the northern district of california. Please let me know if you can recommend a course of action for me at this time. |
