Description of the problem	Excessive oil consumption leading to the engine problem, nearly stalling on highway (my two young boys in the car), very dangerous. I was able to pull into a gas station - almost no oil in the engine. I change oil every 3k-4k miles. As i read up more on the issue, toyota has a design flaw in its pistons, leasing to oil consumption (2006-08 rav4) with the 2az-fe engine. Toyota performed the oil consumption test (2 step on 10/05/2017), my car failed (too much oil consumption), but toyota will not fix, as my rav4 pass the warranty date. Bought the rav4 at toyota of morristown, nj in may 2007. Other toyota models also use the same engine. They sold me (and many others too) the rav4 even with the known design flaws. It will cost over $3. 5k to rebuild the engine at toyota. I never received any notifications, they only issued a fix in 2011 within toyota dealerships. Models impacted: camry 2007-11, camry hybrid 2007-11, corolla & matrix 2009, rav4 2006-08, solara 2007-08, scion xb 2008-09 and tc 2007-09
