I have a 2008 Toyota Rav4 4 cylinder, I've noticed that it's been losing around 2qts between oil changes and there are no oil leaks. Are there any recalls I should be aware of? seems like there is alot of people with the same issue and I just bought this car so its very frustrating. Toyota should be taking care of this matter, very disappointed.
I noticed that I was losing oil between oil changes. The dealer that has always changed my oil found no leaks. They told me that my engine had a recall covering loss of oil but that the warranty had expired six weeks prior. I was never notified about this warranty. If Toyota manufactured a defective engine, why is the recall time sensitive. ? the dealer never notified me that my year model vehicle had this issue.
I have changed my oil 3 times and each time it consumes oil more quickly this last time I changed the oil right before a1000 mile trip. . When I got back home (2000 miles later) I had less than a quart in there. No leaks. . No black clouds of smoke. This was in less than 7 days. Very concerned! I have owned this car about 6 months now.
Car runs through oil between 5000 recommended oil changes. Have to constantly check if there is enough oil. No leaks, just goes through a lot of oil.
The engine died on our vehicle. Dealer said it stopped working but would have to take apart the engine to find out why. They said they could not find any leaks but it ran out of oil & ceased the engine. It was only 4 months since our last oil change. People are telling us it should not have ran out that fast without there being a leak. Toyota said they will not cover the repair because it is out of warranty. By only 525 miles!!!! this is our second Toyota & we loved them. We were intending on being life long customers. But now we will never buy another Toyota! especially since I have read other people having the same problem. They need to recall these vehicles!! we now have $13,000 left to pay on the vehicle & can't afford to fix it & have no other vehicle.
