Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2006 Toyota RAV4

My car has been consuming lots of oil however I was never able to identify where the leak was coming from. I contacted Toyota certified repair service when I went to get oil changed they indicated they did not identify any leaks and the vehicle was operating correctly although I returned to Toyota certified repair service within approximately 3 weeks service advisor acknowledged that leak should have been diagnosed closer. Service advisor viewed oil everywhere underneath hood and it again required 2. 5 quarts on oil in this short time frame. I was advised to drive another 1k miles and bring back to determine where leak was located and they would assist with repair costs however I brought back within 584 miles and vehicle again had consumed enormous amount of oil yet now advisor and service manager insisted they could not help with anything. Only after being visually upset about the most recent developments did the service advisor libra jones mention anything abount the warranty enhancement ze7 but also stated my warranty had expired and I was left to fend for myself. Libra jones told me to contact Toyota to see if they would help and briefly mention the goodwill assistance program. However after speaking to millie@ Toyota, she had no intentions of assisting with any repair costs and even asked to speak to a manager in regards to my issue and she stated she would have a manager contact withing 24 hours however no one bothered to ever reach out to me whatever which forced me to contact many of the top executives to address my concerns. Based on the executive assitance eboney blanks reactions, Toyotal never intended to offer any assistance as it relates to their products. They indicated they mailed out documents to my grandparents however records would reflect if there were any repairs that required attention my grandparents would have done prior to selling to me.

The car started knocking, went straight to a shop and it turns out it had no oil in it. Was due for an oil change but not to the point it should have been out of oil and had not shown any signs of leaking.

At about 65,000 miles, I noticed that my 2006 Toyota rav 4 was consuming large amounts of oil in between oil changes (which I have done every 3000-3500 miles). There was no leak, no warnings - but when checked the oil well is bone dry. Brought it to the dealership who played dumb, even though I told them Toyota had issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) about this, and that my VIN number falls under the cars listed. There are thousands of complaints about this on-line, and the dealership just said that was irrelevant. Meanwhile, I've been adding oil at every 1000 miles or less.

Just recently purchased a used 2006 Toyota Rav4. . . Because I've owned two previous to this one and simply appreciate them. . . However. . . . I've only owned this one since may of 2013 from a reputable dealership and to much surprise I am already experiencing technical difficulties. At about 1. 5k miles after an oil change, my oil light comes on. . . Checked the oil and it was low to the point where I had to add an additional quart on the 1st occasion and 2 quarts on the 2nd occasion. . . May I add that there is no leak. Who is going to hold Toyota accountable? I need help and answers.

The engine oil light would blink intermittently especially when applying brakes. Upon inspection of oil dipstick, there is no sign of any oil on the dipstick. Brought to a mechanic and had the oil changed (with synthetic mobil 1 as recommended by Toyota). Mechanic noticed very little oil drained. After refilling with new oil, test drove the car and confirmed the dipstick showing oil at maximum level. Around 2000 miles later, inspection of oil dipstick revealed almost no oil again. There were no leaks which mechanic confirmed as the underside was clean as a whistle. Mechanic believes piston problems which will be very expensive to replace.

The vehicle loses 1-2 quarts of oil over 30-60 day period or 1500-2000 miles. No signs of leaks, dripping or other sources of loss are visible. In checking Toyota Rav4 owner forums, it seems this condition is prevalent among many and spans several model years. The condition has been occurring for several years now, but we thought it was just us and seemed to be a slower loss. Now the loss is much faster. I am concerned that if people wait to check oil until next oil change, they may damage their engines.

My 2006 Rav4 4wd (40,000 miles) began leaking oil at a very fast rate, leaving a large puddle of oil on the garage floor, which wasn't immediately noticed by me. The oil pressure indicator light never illuminated, therefore I had no way of knowing that there was almost no oil in the car. I would not have known there was a problem if my boyfriend had not called me from the house to warn me that most of the oil that should be in my car was on the garage floor. Toyota replaced the defective oil line and says that the oil pressure indicator system is working correctly, but I am concerned that the next time there is a problem with my oil delivery system, I won't have any warnings to prevent me from burning up the engine.

Massive engine oil leak. This is the hose referred to in lsc 90k - variable valve timing with intelligence (vvt-I) oil hose replacement limited service campaign. While driving in the local walmart parking lot virtually all of our engine oil drained while we were driving at less than 10 mph. We had no warning lights on the dash. Our only warning of a problem was a hot oil smell. We stopped and I checked the dip stick which was completely dry with oil sprayed all over the engine which explains the hot oil smell.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Rav4. While driving 35 mph, the contact was informed by another motorist that his vehicle was leaking oil. Prior to the failure, the contact heard valve chatter coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the entire engine needed to be replaced. The current and failure mileages were 61,000. Updated 8/24/09 a rubber hose in the oil delivery system failed which caused destruction of the engine. Updated 08/26/09.

Huge oil leak! started small, noticed a little on the turn around in my driveway - didn't even think it was my car since there was no oil when I parked. About one week later came home after a short trip and noticed the car smelled hot. I checked under the car and the oil was just running out - the bottom of the car was covered with splattered oil and in about 15minutes - no oil left! I haven't taken the car to the dealer yet - I'm afraid of the $$ and with all of the dealerships closing, the towing fee alone will probably be one I can't afford. I have check the internet and there are plenty of comments on this same problem. Where is the recall???.
