Toyota won't even touch it if
Toyota won't even touch it if all of the oil is consumed in 2000 miles if it isn't under warranty and they don't have an active recall on the engine. How do I know? My car is dead in Gallup, NM instead of with me in Memphis, TN. I have only had the vehicle serviced by my Toyota dealership and on the prescribed schedule. I just had the 90K servicing done before I left on the trip. No evidence of any oil leaks, so 4.4 quarts of oil burned off in approximately 2000K. If I had an oil consumption issue why was it not caught by the dealership service dept? I'm not a mechanic and not even an enthusiast. I follow the servicing guidelines as instructed. Dearlership and Toyota corporate are both like "Eh... sorry but you're just out of luck man!" This is a known problem with the Prius engines but the company does nothing about it. I am without a car and my loyalty to this brand has been returned with a "so sorry." I doubt I will ever buy another Toyota and if I do, it will be traded in before the warranty runs out because they will not do squat to help you once the warranty is done. After all, they have gotten your money by that point through both the car purchase and the overpriced service costs. So, so, SO Disappointed in Toyota.
