I took my car to Toyota on August 7th 2021 and was informed my car needed a new engine due to losing three quarts of oil. The employee then informed me my car was under recall but they would be unable to fix the problem because the recall had expired. I never received a letter in the mail instructing me to take my car in for repairs due to this recall.

Warranty Enhancement Program –Part Replacement for Excessive Oil Consumption (NEVER INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE) I just found out that this expired on 3/27/2020 but Toyota mentioned this was created by your department. and within this letter we never received they are not willing to fix my car since it just started happening to my car. I took it to the Toyota dealership because I kept getting my oil changed at VA tire and Auto and after 2000 miles 4 quarts of oil is gone. They told me to take it to T

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA SCION TC WITH YOKOHAMA S32A93201(NA) TIRES, SIZE 215/ 45 R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD CONTINUOUSLY LOSE AIR. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE WEEKLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TWO PASSENGER SIDE TIRES WERE CRACKED. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO SEAL THE TIRES BUT THE TIRES BLEW AS THE CONTACT DROVE HOME. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,000. UPDATED 9/4/13

I PURCHASED MY SCION FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN FEB OF 2015. ON THE 17TH OF MARCH WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE DRIVER SEAT MOVED FORWARD ON ITS OWN. THE SEAT HAD BECAME UNLATCHED FROM THE SEAT RUNNER UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. I HAD TO ADJUST THE SEAT AND MADE SURE THAT IT LOCKED INTO PLACE. SINCE THEN THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER. I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 40 TIMES. THE SEAT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN YOU SLIDE THE SEAT FORWARD OR MOVE IT TO PLACE ITEMS BEHIND IT AS WELL. IT WILL LOCK ON ONE

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN COLORADO, CLEAR BLUE SKY, NO TRAFFIC AND MY SUNROOF DEFLECTOR SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES. NO IMPACT, NO NOTHING! TEMPERATURE AROUND 65 DEGREES, NO WEATHER. TAKING IT TO DEALER UPON RETURN AS I WAS 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED. UNKNOWN IF SCION/TOYOTA WILL COVER REPLACEMENT...IT'S OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE! *TR

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION AGAINST THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND FALLS AT WILL, WHICH IS A HAZARD AS IT LIMITS VISIBILITY, SOMETIMES AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME. AT TIMES IT MERELY STAYS IN THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION, WHICH MAKES CERTAIN DRIVING MANEUVERS VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS - ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER. I KNOW TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE CAMRY, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY ONE OF THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS THAT SEVERAL OTHER MODELS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT WITH N

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN A TOWN ROAD IN OUR COMMUNITY ON CAPE COD ON A CLEAR DAY. SUDDENLY WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. IT SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF US BECAUSE IT WAS SO LOUD, LIKE AN EXPLOSION. WE PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE SUNROOF OF THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY EXPLODED WITH SHATTERED GLASS STREAMING OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR. THANKFULLY, WE HAD THE CANVAS PART OF THE SUNROOF CLOSED. IF LEFT OPEN, WE WOULD HAVE HAD GLASS COM

ENGINE IS BURNING AT LEAST 1 QUART OF OIL PER WEEK AND ESTIMATED DRIVING MILES PER WEEK IS BETWEEN 200 MILES TO 300 MILES. THERE IS NO MAJOR OIL LEAKS ANYWHERE THAT I CAN SEE AND THERE IS NO OIL ON THE FLOOR WHERE THE CAR IS PARKED.

My car is burning oil, like a quart per week I always maintain the oil level, not leaks I just want to know if Toyota can help me, I am a third owner of this car has 94000 miles

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION LEADING TO MOTOR LOSS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-5,000 MILES. IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL BY TOYOTA IF THIS MANY VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BEGAN AROUND 90K MILES. AT 148K, VEHICLE WAS REQUIRING MORE OIL THAN I WAS ABLE TO PUT IN. ENGINE BEGAN "KNOCKING", AND EVEN AFTER TOPPING OFF OIL, WITHIN 48 HOURS EXPERIENCED COMPLETE MOTOR LOSS. KN

DRIVING SURFACE WAS PAVED DRY TWO LANE ROUTE. SPEED APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR. LEFT REAR TIRE CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE STEEL BELLED TREAD BECAME TOTALLY (100%) DETACHED FOR THE INTERIOR SIDE WALL OF TIRE. TIRE WAS BRIDGESTONE TURANZA (T0506) EL4PNZ 215/45ZR17. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE IN LESS THAN A MONTH THAT HAS HAD A SIDE WALL FAILURE. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED A TIRE EARLIER IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 FOR SIDE WALL FAILURE. THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES HAVE HAD SIMILAR FAILURES IN LESS THAN
