The contact owns a 2012 Scion XB. The contact stated that the vehicle was exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light would illuminate approximately 1,000 miles prior to the next scheduled oil change. The contact stated that the oil pressure warning light recently illuminated less than a month after the previous oil change; 2,500 miles prior to the next oil change. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The contact stated that 4 quarts of oil was consumed prior to the next scheduled oil change and suggested that there was leak. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the failure was related to Toyota Technical Service Bulletin Number: SB0024-11R2. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TURNED A CORNER. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALER, WHERE I HAVE ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE (EXCEPT ONCE). CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO OIL IN IT BEFORE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THIS HAPPENED 6 MONTHS PREVIOUSLY AND WAS THOUGHT TO BE A PVC PLUG ISSUE. WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO WORN PISTON RINGS, ULTIMATELY THE FAULT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ETHANOL IN GASOLINE. SOLUTION - KEEP CHECKING THE OIL AND ADD AS NEEDED. NOT WORTH REPAIRING THE PISTON RINGS.

RECALL 287614- MY CALL WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 1/10/2019. MY CAR RAN A RED LIGHT DUE TO FAILURE OF BRAKES AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. BOTH CARS WERE TOTALED. I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL IN 4/2019 3 MONTHS AFTER MY ACCIDENT I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE MY VEHICLE TO INSPECT IT, THEY REFUSED TO HELP COMPENSATE FOR MY LOSS. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, MY INSURANCE COMPANY GAVE ME A PAYOUT THAT WENT DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE REMAINING BALANCE OF MY CAR AND I STILL HAVE TO PAY 2,900 AFTER. I STILL HAVE NOT FINANCIALLY RECOVERED FROM THIS ACCIDENT.*DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB
