I took my car into the dealer twice for the oil consumption issues during the period they offered it. I was turned away both times and only after the "repair period" ended was I informed that there was one to begin with. I've read about multiple people having the recall performed who had the same problem as me. My care now needs two to three quarts of oil per month and I was screwed out of my repair. Now we have the airbag light. I've read quite a few things online about temporarily repairing this airbag harness myself but thats not a solution to the actual problem. My children are in this vehicle daily and not having a fully functional airbag system is not at all safe.
Low engine oil condition with no evidence of leaks. Excessive oil burning and having to constantly check and add several times between regularly scheduled oil changes. Often observed by checking before warning indication. This could lead to major engine failure including sudden lockup,stall, overheating, thrown rods, etc. There is recent evidence and admission from Lexus that the piston rings were defective upon manufacture.
