Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I bought the car with the odometer reading 69,566 miles on the engine . I change the oil (5-20w) and filter and within a couple of thousand of miles I heard small knocking like a deep bearing going bad. I check the oil and discovered it was not registering on the oil stick. It needed nearly 3 quarts of oil. The Toyota solara burns too much oil to be safe. The car could of had a catastrophic accident by freezing up on the freeway. …”

NHTSA complaint #10705213, filed 2015-04, 70,000 miles

“Engine excessive oil consumption. While I was driving on a city street oil light start flickering after turns and applying break pedal. I pulled my vehicle over and shut down an engine. After I checked my oil level and it was hardly on a stick. I do change my oil regularly, every 5000 miles. Toyota's oil light starts flickering when I lost almost 3 quarters, which could lead to engine shut down, glad I wasn't on a highway at that time and had enough time to pull over and take my car to a mechanic to add engine oil. …”

“Excessive oil consumption. Toyota dealership tested it and my car failed the test. They tell me I need new rings and piston's. Engine rebuild. They told me I am on the list but it could take up to a year for the parts to come from the parent company. So if my engine blows up between now and then what happens then?”
