Description of the problem	Excessive oil consumption ( 1 qt/400 miles), car is now at 108k miles. Oil consumption test done at 83k (used only 1/4 qt so passed) at roswell, atlanta. And i was asked to top up oil during oil changes. No notice received from toyota for oil consumption issues. How come the car consuming just 1/4 qt/1000 miles consuming 1 full qt/400 miles now? (assuming test is done correctly) i dont know. But found on internet that this is an issue with this engine. I woke up late. Car is out of warranty since 05/18 for any fix. Toyota acted so cheap by not recalling the cars here despite knowing the issue very well. I always thought toyota is known for reliability but not anymore.

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.
