Description of the problem	I found out too late about the defective parts in the 2az-fe engine. My problem started after the warranty and they will not repair it. My car burns a lot of oil and i have to have an oil change or add oil frequently (every few weeks of adding oil). I never received notification of this problem and didn't find out that they were fixing this until i started looking online to find out if anyone else has the problem. I see class action suits and others that were never notified. I even have had my car into toyota for repairs and was never told about this problem. So now i have a car with only 147,000 miles that needs frequent oil that toyota won't stand behind. If it was just my car i might not bother reporting it, but its not
