My car burns massive amounts of oil. I get regular changes at goodyear. I took it in to Toyota wolfchase memphis for not 1 but 2 recalls and asked about the amount of oil it was burning. They informed me this vehicle per VIN# had a warranty enhancement on it b/c piston does not sit properly and that is why the large consumption of oil. They also informed me I was "too late" that it expired 5/6 months prior. I made them aware I was not notified of any warranty enhancement and they said their hands were tied. Nothing they, Toyota service dept. Could do. I called Toyota and a rep said it was not the law to legally notify me of the warranty enhancement since I was not original owner. After much disagreement I asked for a supervisor who called me back and informed me legally there was nothing I could do and they could not help me with the bill if I got this piston fixed. I asked her if the original owner was notified bc I could not imagine not getting it fixed. I said this one model has so many recalls! it is a lemon. Then again she explained they could do nothing. She never stated if the original owner was notified. (this was one owner car) I am now using about 7 qts of oil per 5k miles. Yeap 7 quarts. I began buying in 5 gallons and writing mileage on the bottle before I add any. (it was 3 per 5k and has increased to the latest high of 7 in the 2 yrs. Since I purchased. I am an older driver and baby this vehicle. At the date I found out about the piston under warranty enhancement I was in for 2 recalls!!! seat belt and rear suspension! Toyota said if I had my oil changed there, I would have been notified of warranty enhancement?? but I was too late. This was 12/6/17.
