My vehicle has been excessively consuming oil and there was a customer support program to assist customers but i was failed to be properly notified. I receive recall notifications but nothing about this program and i'm wondering if others have also complained since it was handled by a third party.

While driving on an expressway i attempted to slow my vehicle. The brakes began to engage but then i felt the car accelerate and the car "stuttered". It may have been the brake assist kicking in. It accelerated. After a few seconds, the brakes finally engaged. About 2 miles down the road, the same thing happened except that the brakes did not engage until a few seconds later and i rear-ended someone. Thankfully…

Oil burning recall. My car rav4 burns oil at least one quart per 1200 miles. The dealership refused to replace any part due to the 1200 miles test driving. Toyota sent me an enhancement warranty notice about the problem of oil burning. This is unacceptable to me. We paid so much yet what we get is a defect engine in a new rav4. This should be a recall and toyota is responsible to fix the rings and other parts that…

Once fully stopped, the vehicle was idling with low rpm's (~500) and the check engine light turned on along with vsc and trac lights. Was able to drive the vehicle home, but experienced the same symptoms at every stop light / stop sign. Contacted toyota…

Check engine light, vsc light and 4wd light came on and stayed on. Took vehicle to dealer and they diagnosed problem as defective charcoal canister. Was told toyota would not cover the repair or part under their emissions warranty. Toyota is attempting to blame this problem on consumer error when filling the gas tank. How is the charcoal canister not part of the emissions system when it's purpose is to serve as a…
