Description of the problem	My car burns massive amounts of oil. I get regular changes at goodyear. I took it in to toyota wolfchase memphis for not 1 but 2 recalls and asked about the amount of oil it was burning. They informed me this vehicle per vin# had a warranty enhancement on it b/c piston does not sit properly and that is why the large consumption of oil. They also informed me i was "too late" that it expired 5/6 months prior. I made them aware i was not notified of any warranty enhancement and they said their hands were tied. Nothing they, toyota service dept. Could do. I called toyota and a rep said it was not the law to legally notify me of the warranty enhancement since i was not original owner. After much disagreement i asked for a supervisor who called me back and informed me legally there was nothing i could do and they could not help me with the bill if i got this piston fixed. I asked her if the original owner was notified bc i could not imagine not getting it fixed. I said this one model has so many recalls! It is a lemon. Then again she explained they could do nothing. She never stated if the original owner was notified. (this was one owner car) i am now using about 7 qts of oil per 5k miles. Yeap 7 quarts. I began buying in 5 gallons and writing mileage on the bottle before i add any. (it was 3 per 5k and has increased to the latest high of 7 in the 2 yrs. Since i purchased. I am an older driver and baby this vehicle. At the date i found out about the piston under warranty enhancement i was in for 2 recalls!!! Seat belt and rear suspension! Toyota said if i had my oil changed there, i would have been notified of warranty enhancement?? But i was too late. This was 12/6/17

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