this is a follow up email regarding my car 2007 toyota rav 4 FWD 4 cylinder ; oil consumption of this model is too much 1 quart every 250 - 300 miles. Toyota already know and acknowledge the problem but with my case when I went to the dealer they just told me that it passed the test. If the federal safety agency will help us voice our concern maybe toyota will consider this to become a recall

2.4 liter engine had been burning 1 quart of oil each 800 to 1000 miles, and has steadily gotten worse. Now with 192,000 a nice car otherwise has been burning 1 1/2 to 2 quarts every 800 to 1000 miles. This has adversely effected spark plugs, oxygen sensors and catalytic converter. Toyoyta test the car in 2016 but deemed the problem as acceptable, but this is a design flaw with the pistons and rings, which they have since admitted is a design flaw. These engines should be recalled and the design flaw corrected.

In 2015 or 2016 toyota sent me a letter telling me to take the car to the dealer for a check up because it was burning oil but that letter had an expiration date which did not realize I thought it was a recall so I took the car to check and they started a process the car failed all the tests that they did and by the end they told me that they couldn't fix it because the letter had expired. Which that is not right for me what I need from toyota is if they can open that program one more time so they can fix my car because it is burning a lot of oil and it hardly has 50,000 miles

Toyota performed an oil consumption test on my rav4 "following toyota pol14-12". To quote the service center representative, it "failed the test miserably". The oil was reportedly dry after less than 1200 miles. No maintenance light appeared. Toyota had a warranty enhancement for this issue. The car is well under the mileage limit, but the time has expired. The cost to fix the problem is $4897.79 plus tax. I called toyota at 800‑331‑4331 as suggested by the service center representative to report the problem and inquire about assistance. Toyota corporate refused to provide further assistance.
