Vehicle is burning through oil at accelerated rate. There are no oil leak markings from vehicle after vehicle is parked however, low engine oil light comes on within 1000 miles of oil change.

I took my vehicle into Lexus and they confirmed there was a problem with this exact year and make and model for the cars engine misfiring. Lexus has acknowledged there was a campaign to fix this very issue and have confirmed my car needs the work done but has said they will be of no service to me. This problem has been fixed for other customers in the same situation but I feel as though Lexus is directly ignoring me for a serious problem.
