Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2007 Toyota RAV4 - part 1

My vehicle have a severe oil consumption issue, it burns oil at a rate of 1 quart per 250-500 miles. I understand that there was a TSB issued in 2016 by my vehicle was not included in this even though it fit the model years of the bulletin.

Significant burning of engine oil, almost nothing appear on the deep stick when I check it, no leaked or what so ever from top to bottom of the engine.

Toyota performed an oil consumption test on my Rav4 "following Toyota pol14-12". To quote the service center representative, it "failed the test miserably". The oil was reportedly dry after less than 1200 miles. No maintenance light appeared. Toyota had a warranty enhancement for this issue. The car is well under the mileage limit, but the time has expired. The cost to fix the problem is $4897. 79 plus tax. I called Toyota at 800-331-4331 as suggested by the service center representative to report the problem and inquire about assistance. Toyota corporate refused to provide further assistance.

The vehicle burn excessive amounts of oil. Any driving for more than two hours will lead the vehicle to be empty of oil. This excessive oil burning happens quickly over highway and slowly driving city.

This car burns engine oil dramatically. I did my oil change at jiffy lube and I half way thru to the next oil change the maintenance required light came and when I took it back to them they had to add almost 2 quarts of oil. I think that's unacceptable. There are no oil leaks and this is happening every time we change oil. We got the vehicle in Feb 2019.

My 2007 Rav4 burns excess engine oil and by the time. After about 2000 miles I would get the engine oil light and no oil is left in the engine.

Excessive oil consumption may lead to engine failure.

Vehicle consumes or burns excessive oil. Engine is no longer functioning. Engine stopped working while on the road.

We were driving on the autobahn in germany (mil family) when the engine stalled without any warning. Our oil level was fine the day before we stalled. We check our oil every weekend since our Rav4 has a very high oil consumption rate. Our eggine seized while we were going about 90 mph with other cars around us going even faster. We are lucky to have not caused an fatal accident. We would like something done about this.

My Rav4 truck was taken to the dealership for service as oil light came on, however, truck was not due for an oil change as service was done may 2018. Technician informed me that the truck was burning oil and required the replacement of pistons inside engine. At that time, I was informed that under the excessive engine oil consumption warranty, it would be covered at no charge to customers. Unfortunately, the warranty is expired for my truck and nothing can be done by Toyota. However, regular maintenance on the truck never indicated a problem and no mention of this issue was ever addressed by the technicians. A year ago the truck would have been covered and now my safety and the safety of others is being compromised. Of course, engine failure did not occur until after the warranty period even though regular oil changes were being done. Just because the warranty is expired doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist! why is a company allowed to put lives in danger? Toyota is quick to address a recall issue yet doesn't seem to think this is such an issue. In no time, you could be out of a car/truck without you even knowing why especially when services are being done in a timely manner. How is it that dealer service centers know when you haven't done a recall on your car yet don't address/advise an issue that potentially be a problem if not taken care of in the long run. I guess the customers safety is not a priority.

Oil burn , exxcesive.

At 94k miles my car started burning alot of oil, and I am told by Toyota that this is normal?? every 1200 miles I am adding at least 1 1/4 qt. This is not normal and they know there is an engine issue- but refuse to take responsibility for it!.

Excessive oil consumption.

Burning multiple quarts of oil over several thousand miles of normal highway driving. 1000 mile drive results in being 1. 5-2 quarts low.

Driving on expressway the low oil light came on dozens of times while braking. . Toyota Rav4 2007 with only 69k miles started to consume 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. . . Dealer did an oil consumption test - which proved that engine is burning oil. Since car is more then 10 years, even though the mileage is very low - Toyota refuses to cover repair costs. Dealer's quote for repair was $4,300.

Massive consumption of oil. My 2007 Toyota Rav4 consumes approximately a quart of oil in 500 miles. This is very excessive and means that I have to fill the oil 10 times before the "5000 mile" oil change. Toyota did issue a TSB and ran the car through a test and deemed the loss of oil acceptable which I find ludicrous. Acceptable is being down 1/4 a quart after 5000 miles. But if I waited til my oil change the engine would be destroyed. And the very least they need to issue a recall and fix the problem.

Excessive oil consumption leading to the engine problem, nearly stalling on highway (my two young boys in the car), very dangerous. I was able to pull into a gas station - almost no oil in the engine. I change oil every 3k-4k miles. As I read up more on the issue, Toyota has a design flaw in its pistons, leasing to oil consumption (2006-08 Rav4) with the 2az-fe engine. Toyota performed the oil consumption test (2 step on 10/05/2017), my car failed (too much oil consumption), but Toyota will not fix, as my Rav4 pass the warranty date. Bought the Rav4 at Toyota of morristown, NJ in may 2007. Other Toyota models also use the same engine. They sold me (and many others too) the Rav4 even with the known design flaws. It will cost over $3. 5k to rebuild the engine at Toyota. I never received any notifications, they only issued a fix in 2011 within Toyota dealerships. Models impacted: camry 2007-11, camry hybrid 2007-11, corolla & matrix 2009, Rav4 2006-08, solara 2007-08, scion xb 2008-09 and tc 2007-09.

I'm writing in regards to Toyota TSB 0094-11 "2az-fe engine oil consumption. My vehicle is using oil and the dealer tells me now I need to rebuild the engine. I brought it in the first time, but the bulletin said I could have two checks. Today was only the second check.

Total engine failure at 115,000 miles due to excessive oil consumption. Burned through 4 quarts of oil in less than 3 weeks time. Need a new engine or engine rebuild. Will be $4,000 to fix. Toyota is aware of the issue and had issued enhanced warranties for vehicle n the past. We purchased the vehicle in 2015 after notifications had been sent. Issue often becomes apparent around 100,000 miles according to research. Calls with Toyota have been unsuccessful at any sort of recourse for this. Toyota customer service rep claims to receive multiple calls per week on this issue. Our engine failed on a major interstate. While traveling 60 miles per hour.

Engine oil consumption on this vehicle is unaccepted, Toyota knew this problems and should make a recall years ago about this issue.

Excessive oil consumption caused engine to leak oil.

Excessive oil consumption - uses 1 quart of oil every 1,500 miles or less. We have to constantly check the oil level and my wife is now afraid to drive the vehicle fearing that the engine will seize up if we have failed to check the oil level. Note: I've had to "dummy" a date because this is a continuous problem and not just one date.

Takata recall I have owned this car for almost two years now and ever since I have owned the car the car has had a oil consumption issue . Meaning I drive 40 miles a day Monday through Friday and at the end of the week I need to add oil to it. After 200 miles a car should not need oil . I have had multiple people look at the car and it doesn't have a leak the car is consuming the oil. I belong to many Toyota car forums online and many other cars my year model are having the same issue . This is something that needs to be.

Oil burning. Massive amounts of oil burning. A quart every 200 500 miles on average.

Oil burning.

This vehicle falls under the excessive oil consumption issue; the dealerships won't repair it under warranty, I need to add oil to it weekly, it has no value and can not be sold due to this and I'm worried that the engine will seize. This vehicle has been a large financial loss and Toyota knew that this was happening and didn't send out a recall.

Oil consumption of more than 2 quarts in a week. Purchased vehicle used from Toyota dealership October 2016. This vehicle is used for school and going to atlanta for appointments over 50 miles from my home. Filed a claim with Toyota but was told that I was over the 10 year mark by 2 months havent reached the 150,000 mark yet just at 135,000 miles.

Ongoing excessive oil consumption. Using approximately 1 quart for every 1200 miles.

Oil consumption, uses a lot of oil and have keep checking and adding freqently.

Starting in 2014, I had to refill 1 qt of oil every ~1200-1500 miles despite meticulous maintenance. After receiving a "warranty enhancement notification" letter from Toyota motor sales u. S. A. , inc. Addressing excessive oil consumption, a first oil consumption test was initiated at a Toyota dealership in October 2015 and evaluated in December 2015. According to the dealership, the car passed this test; oil consumption would still be within engine specification. This was a surprise, given that the official maintenance schedule requires an oil change every 5000 miles, and that the permitted oil consumption in such an interval according to engine spec. Could lead to severe engine damage, or failure. A second oil consumption test was initiated in September 2016, and evaluated early December 2016 by the same Toyota dealership. This second test confirmed an excessive oil consumption, I. E. The test had failed. I was told that the engine would be repaired under the warranty enhancement free of charge. Soon after, I was informed that the enhanced warranty period of my vehicle had expired 10/31/2016; therefore, any cost for the engine repair would no longer be covered. Consequently, the engine repair was cancelled. The dealership argued that although the oil consumption test was initiated during the warranty period, the confirmation of the condition took place after warranty expiration. The oil consumption test requires me to drive 1100-1300 miles before I can bring the car back to the dealership for evaluation. The dealership responded that it would have been my duty to drive the required mileage before the end of the extended warranty coverage. I checked the detailed conditions of the warranty enhancement and found no written statement mentioning that the test has to be evaluated before the warranty expires; it is only stated the the test has to be initiated during warranty.

Excessive oil consumption. Notices my vehicle used 1/2 a quart of oil in 480 mile. Took it in for excessive oil consumption test. Dealer indicated I may have to do $170-$1200 in gasket replacement to qualify for warranty repairs. First I could not see what they were talking about, I. E. Not leaks visible/apparent to me. Also this did not make sense especially since the repairs they indicated I may need to do, will have to be redone during the warranty repairs. When asked why, they said they had to require them to be done because Toyota hq would stick them with the warranty repair bill if they disagreed with them as to whether to authorize the warranty repairs. Toyota has admitted they have a design flaw in this engine in this vehicle. Why won't they fix it without such a hassle. This needs to be made a formal recall so they are forced to stop taking advantage of their customers.

Excessive oil consumption, I am adding 1 quart of oil every 10 - 13 days about 300 - 400 mile in between I went for the oil consumption test 2 times the dealership told me it passed the test but still the engine is consuming a lot of oil.

In 2015 or 2016 Toyota sent me a letter telling me to take the car to the dealer for a check up because it was burning oil but that letter had an expiration date which did not realize I thought it was a recall so I took the car to check and they started a process the car failed all the tests that they did and by the end they told me that they couldn't fix it because the letter had expired. Which that is not right for me what I need from Toyota is if they can open that program one more time so they can fix my car because it is burning a lot of oil and it hardly has 50,000 miles.

My oil keeps burning every 500 miles.

2. 4 liter engine had been burning 1 quart of oil each 800 to 1000 miles, and has steadily gotten worse. Now with 192,000 a nice car otherwise has been burning 1 1/2 to 2 quarts every 800 to 1000 miles. This has adversely effected spark plugs, oxygen sensors and catalytic converter. Toyoyta test the car in 2016 but deemed the problem as acceptable, but this is a design flaw with the pistons and rings, which they have since admitted is a design flaw. These engines should be recalled and the design flaw corrected.
