Description of the problem	On july 24, 2018; i contacted temecula valley toyota regarding my 2007 toyota rav 4 with 122,00 miles on it. I contacted them to speak regarding the excessive use of oil that my vehicle was recently using. I have been diligent about bringing my car in for all recalls and have inquired each time if there was anything that should be fixed under warranty or recall that needed to be addressed on my vehicle. Before contacting toyota, i looked online to see if any other vehicles were having this same problem. I found out that there was a lawsuit for this exact issue. It was titled the economic loss class action settlement. It reads that toyota rav 4 with the years 2006-2008 rav 4 should be entitled to be repaired if they are brought in for repair within 10 years or 150,000 miles. It does not state whichever is less. However toyota is implying because my car is over 10 years old that this is not their responsibility. As states previously, my vehicle has 122,000 miles on it. It is under the amount required for the lawsuit. In addition i have brought the vehicle in before the 10 year warranty expired and it was never mentioned to me that this could be covered at the time of repair for other recalls. I was bringing this vehicle in to be repaired prior to a family emergency that i would have to use my vehicle to drive through several states. The vehicle had an oil change before i left. My vehicle used up all of the oil before i made it half way. The pressure in the engine was so hot that it blew the oil cap off and nearly blew up my engine and the oil light never came on. This occurred within approximately 1,000 miles being driven. I was traveling on the i70 west towards kansas. There are few places to turn off, near vail, colorado. It endangered my life and the life of others during the time that i was stopped on a freeway on a mountain.
