Description of the problem	My oil warning light kept coming on when i was braking. I had approximately 2300 miles since my last oil change but took the car in to get checked. The mechanic found there was virtually no oil left in the engine. Since then i have to put oil in my engine around every 500-700 miles. My car is experiencing excessive oil consumption. I just took my car into my closest toyota dealer and they said in 20 years they have never seen this problem. I feel like they are lying to me and just want the faulty part fixed. I don't know what my rights are and what i can do to get help. -thank you

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.

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