| Description of the problem | Oil indicator lit up. I checked the dip stick and oil was well below minimum level. I added 2 quarts of oil. My rav4 has more than 1000 miles left before the scheduled 5k oil change and neither has it been 6mos yet. Brought the car to the dealer and they performed oil consumption test. Car mileage was 87000. I brought the car back after 1000miles as instructed to do so. The test turned out negative. Coudn't do anything else as the car is out of warranty. I looked online and there were a number of complaints but no associated recalls regarding this problem. Another problem in my rav4 is when stepping on the brakes, it accelerates first before stopping. Again there were no recalls about it. |
