| Description of the problem | Excessive oil consumption this is my second complaint on this issue because after finally finding a better dealer (towne toyota, ledgewood nj bad, toyota of morristown good) i had the oil consumption test performed. I failed (duh, been adding extra oil between changes for two years with no leaks on the driveway). I was a month out of "extended coverage" for vehicles 10 years from date of first use. Friendly dealer said to call hq and plead my case. I did and after some friendly cust serv rep, was still told sol. I hope someone gets a class action going. I will be getting this repaired by my local mechanic and will never buy toyota again. (even my brz sickens me a bit since toyota had a hand in it). |
