Highly excessive oil consumption that has progressively gotten worse over time now up to 2 quarts in 1,200 miles! Toyota denies there is anything wrong which they must know is a lie!!!

- Hardy, VA, USA

Engine failed while driving. My engine was rebuilt (4 pistons, rings and all associated parts) by a Toyota dealership due to oil consumption failure, less than 25,000 miles later my engine stopped running while I was driving with no indications (no lights, no smoke)at about 154,000 miles. 4,000 outside of the warranty. While driving the vsc and check engine light came on and the temperature gage went all the way down, when I tried to break to slow down the vehicle, the brakes did not work nor did the gas. I was able to move to the shoulder and let the vehicle slow down naturally until I popped the emergency brake. The vehicle has never overheated. Service rep said I lost compression due to a pressure building up in my engine, causing the head gasket and radiator to blow. Service rep said their is also a bad piston. Toyota service manager has not returned my call, corporate said they are partners with the local Toyota dealership and there is nothing they can do.

Engine oil consumption

Engine seized when driving. Contacted Toyota who told me the damage was likely related to an issue involving excessive oil consumption. Toyota was contacted and refused to help.

The care is burning oil at an alarming rate. So much so that the engine can fail and shut down during normal operating procedures this is dangerous, to me, my family and everyone else on the road. Toyota knows about the issues and hasn't recalled the cars to be fixed. Toyota should be held liable for any wrecks or damages caused by the know issue and should voluntary fix all vehicles with this issue..

Excessive oil consumption

- Barboursville, VA, USA

Oil burning consumption, my vehicle is constantly burning oil and when I went to the Toyota of orlando dealership to have the oil consumption test done they advised my vehicle had passed the test, so due to them stating this they did not repair my vehicle, since then I have reached out to Toyota and they too, are failing to do any repairs to the vehicle as now my vehicle is over the millage, but when I originally went and got the test done it was under the millage for them to fix it. I constantly have to keep putting oil in my vehicle and I don't think that is fair to me as they failed to do the repair.

- New Brighton, MN, USA

The car is using excessive amounts of oil. 4-6 quarts between 3000 mile oil changes! the problem has gotten increasingly worse since noticing an increase in consumption starting around 2016. Only after searching the internet for a fix was I made aware that this problem is well known by Toyota. I never received any bulletins or recalls from Toyota as they have claimed. I hope they will provide some type of help in repairing this issue as it is very costly to maintain, much less repair. Very disappointing from a seemingly reliable manufacturer that claims to build dependable vehicles.

Recently I have noticed that as I am applying the brake or taking a curve my oil light comes on. After doing some research I found there is an issue of oil consumption that is known. My car averages using a quart of oil every 800-1200 miles. This is not normal at all.

One or more of the threads that receive the head bolts are stripped, which caused a leaking head gasket and coolant is entering the cylinders. When starting/stopping, you can hear the coolant sloshing around. The cabin heat goes away and the engine overheats. The mechanic says this is a common problem for that engine. The head bolts are steel and the receiving threads are aluminum. Repair options are to put steel inserts into the aluminum or replace the engine. Both options are about the same in labor costs, but it was recommended to go with replacing the engine because the inserts would are likely to work loose in a few years. Replacing the with a refurbished engine will cost about $5500. Engineering 101...for a critical joint that is subject to vibration and heat/cooling cycles, never thread into aluminum!
