1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2014

My 2007 Avalon never had an oil problem. Last Thursday I noticed oil in the driveway as a shoveled snow. I checked the oil level and the vehicle was 1 1/2 quarts down. I put the 1 1/2 quarts into the car and drove it to my mechanic 5 miles away. The mechanic said that the vehicle was totally out of oil and that I was very lucky that the engine didn't catch on fire because the oil was spraying all over the engine. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as an oil leak from the vvt-I oil hose. I went on line and discovered this limited service campaign for vvt-I oil line. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They stated that they would get back to me. They never did. I contacted Toyota. Com and spoke to the representative. They stated that the lsc was for 07 Toyota Avalon's but my VIN wasn't include in the lsc, even though it was the same problem all the 07 Avalons were having. This problem is going to cause major damage to the avolons. It is also very dangerous the way the oil leaks all over the engine. There is going to be a large number of engine fires. Toyota basically told me to bad and good luck. I hope something will be done before someone gets badly hurt. Obviously all 07 avolons are effected not just a certain few vins the lsc can be obtained by goggling vvt-I oil leak, 2007 avolonshere is the lsc.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2013

Upon traveling through nash, TX on November 5, 2013, the oil light on my 2007 Toyota Avalon came on. The leaking line over the right front wheel busted. I pulled into robbins Toyota. I spoke with service consultant tim curtis. He asked me what the problem was and I stated my oil light came on and I was experiencing an oil leak. He said he knew what is was and got my information and how I was going to pay. I told him cash, credit, or check. Then he asked where I was from. I told him georgia. He said he had the part to fix it and I asked tim curtis how much it would cost me? he replied $400. I said that sounds like a lot for a 6 inch hose. He stated I could have it fixed somewhere else but they had the part in stock. I said you know I cant drive this car like this so go ahead and fix it. They fixed it but only charged me $339. I was there for two hours and they charged me with two and a half hours. According to Toyota it should take less than an hour. I received a letter from Toyota on November 29, 2014 that this part on my 2007 year model Toyota had been recalled. The letter stated if the part had not been replaced make an appointment to have it replaced by December 31, 2021. I sent all the information the letter stated and was sent a letter back saying I was declined for not sending everything that was asked. On January 8, 2015, I contacted my local dealership and he sent over all the information again and explained to them that I traded the car in June 2014. My case number is 1412170721. We never heard back on my case as of March 24, 2015. The letters received were from Toyota motor sales, u. S. A. , inc.
