My scion TC is using an extreme amount of oil to where I am putting 2-3 quarts in the motor per week. The extreme usage of oil can cause the engine to blow up due to lack of oil staying in the engine. My oil light will flash after couple days indicating low oil. A dangerous situation that can happen is the engine stop working while I'm driving on an interstate and possibly cause a serious accident or even an engine fire. There was a Toyota bulletin on this issue back in 2015. My car was bought in 2013. According to Toyota, they claimed they had sent notice to the address listed under this VIN. We received no such notice and even requested Toyota prove they sent it, but they would not. When I asked them about this case in regard to this issue, they have mentioned Toyota would no longer deal with this because it was past the deadline. How can I be denied for a service bulletin if I never received the notice.

I had a bad mva accident on 6/12/2019 @ 0815am in the morning, a lady t bone me with fast impaction, the airbags did not deploy nor the side air bag curtains deployed during the accident. The airbags did malfunction in my opinon and caused me to hit my head and chest hard on the steering wheel. I was wearing my seatbelt the entire time as well. The car was in motion when the driver hit me on the highway. Was a hard impact to the car. The sensors appear not to be working correctly since the air bag did not deploy during this hard impaction.

My 2009 scion tc has been burning through oil at a fast rate causing me to have to fill it up with oil every week. I stay pretty local and rarely go out of town with my vehicle. It IS causing a very rough idle in my car. I saw there was a recall but it has not gone through with it. By the looks of many complaints with the same problem as mine needs to be fixed. With no oil being in a car it can cause the engine to blow up and my car IS constantly going through oil before every 1000 miles.

Hello, back in 2016 I got a letter in the mail that said that toyota was having this oil problem with its vehicles burning to much oil. That they would have to run a certain test on your vehicle and make you drive it 1200 miles and if your vehicle failed they would cover fixing the piston issues that were a manufactured problem on there part. I went and at the time my vehicle was 131,049 miles on it. They took it in but came out shortly after saying my engine was not the engine of my vehicle meaning it had been replaced. I bought my vehicle with a clean title checked the car fax and there was nothing on this vehicle stating that the engine had any work aside of small work like oil changes. My vehicle ran fine and did not burn oil at that time, now it's at about 160,000 and it's burning a full quart at 300 miles. I went to investigate and looked online to check my services performed and when I looked at my services it said that toyota just changed the floor mats it didn't say that I went in there with the original issue of the burning oil and to get it tested and fixed. Im really concerned about this seeing as there service statement IS not only untrue but I'm not sure if they lied to get out of fixing the engine in the first place.

Hello- I received an extended warranty letter and was advised in that letter that I needed to take my vehicle in for an excessive oil consumption. I took my car and the letter for toyota to check my car. I was under the impression that my vehicle was checked until last week that my car had no engine oil. At that time my car was 2K miles away from a new oil change. I then called toyota and was advised that toyota service technicians never tested or checked my vehicle because my car IS salvaged.

We are having a problem with our 2009 toyota scion using excessive oil. we have to put a quart of oil in every 1,200-1,500 miles as the car IS using excessive oil. this IS a safety issue as the engine will blow up if it runs out of oil. the oil light has come on and we have put oil in but the last time we checked the oil, it was low and the light did not come on. in may of this year, the car was put on the oil consumption program. we brought the car back with 1,200 and they said the car passed the program. after 1,500 miles, the car was a quart low on oil so we took it back to toyota in sunnyvale, ca. they added a quart of oil and advised us to bring it back in january for a second oil consumption test. the service advisor and the technician who put th eoil in both agreed that the car IS burning oil and stated that it IS within toyota's guidelines of burning 1 quart of oil every 1,200 miles which IS totally ridiculous. we should not have to put in a quart of oil every 1,200 miles. this IS a safety issue and should be resolved by toyota by replacing the piston rings in this motor.
