Car drinking oil, piston ring finally dropped. I was driving and my car started a rough idle then started knocking so I pulled over. They're running tests now but I'm no dummy, this is a piston issue. I brought my car in during the manufacturer suggested window to get this looked at on multiple occasions and they told me my car was asymptomatic despite me explaining that it was drinking excessive oil. If my car engine is ruined because of this Toyota will be paying for my new motor or one of their 2 dealerships that kept insisting I was crazy will be paying for that new motor. I've had the car since it was brand new with all the service records to prove that this should not happen.

The engine in this car which is the 2az-fe has defective piston rings which causes the engine to burn an insanely amount of oil. I literally have to add at least a quart of oil a week and I been doing so two years already. I believe that's not normal at all. Contacted Toyota to notify them about the issue, and claimed that 'vehicle was out of the 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty'. I'm so disappointed at Toyota for that. They also had a period in which you could take your vehicle, but failed to notify their customers.

Vehicle burning oil at increasingly fast rate, large oil consumption. No oil light or dashboard warning. As I was driving down the highway my car shut down... I pulled over to the shoulder got out...my car was smoking... within minutes my car was in flames.

My 2007 Tc has a very large oil consumption problem to the point of between oil changes I am putting in about 1.5 quarts to 2 quarts. The vehicle never has any onboard warnings either I don't get a oil light or low oil light. It is so bad that I have to check my oil daily just to make sure my engine isnt going to blow and usually end up adding oil once to twice a week. I bought the car when there was a service maintenance on the Tc for the oil consumption and the dealer I purchased it from never said anything about it having it and I never heard anything about it until after it was over I feel as Scion or Toyota should have to fix the problem for every Scion.

Vehicle burning oil at increasingly fast rate, large oil consumption. No oil light or dashboard warning. The vehicle is in motion, this oil consumption will cause the car to overheat or stall, causing an accident or fire.

Regarding takata recall : hi, I am in need of some help! my 2007 Toyota Scion has been burning oil often where I am adding oil before oill changes also oil light never turns on even at no oil. My car has been burning over a quart of oil in 1,200 mile from driving it. Now my engine light pops up! its scary to drive because I feel that at any day if I don't check my oil and it's low, my car will blow up! Toyota needs to fix the problem with the Scion cars. I am hoping I can get this fix, I don't have the money to pay for this recall prob that Toyota has on this car. Looking for some help and answers. Thanks

I bought Toyota Scion Tc on April 2016 and the odometer reading was 77593 miles. On May 05, 2017 while driving from walmart to my college campus, I heard loud knocking sound coming from the engine. I immediately pulled over the side and had the car towed to my apartment building. The following Friday on May 12, 2017, I had the car towed from dallas to our mechanic shop in fort worth. The mechanic called and told me that the engine has ceased. The cost to replace the engine including the labor is $3300. I was having the oil changed every 3000 miles and I was also adding oil every 2 weeks. This excessive oil consumption has resulted in a total engine loss.

My Scion Tc engine ceased because the engine was burning oil excessively. I was driving from college to home when my car start making loud noise and I pulled over on the side of the road. I had car towed to the mechanic shop and he told me that my engine is ceased and it cost me about $3000 to replace the engine.

I purchased the car in Oct, 2015. Around Dec 2016 I noticed the car was burning oil at an unusual rate. April of 2017 I replaced the gaskets and a week later at only 850 miles the engine was bone dry, no oil at all. The oil light does not come on it will ony flicker for a second. I have almost blown my engine numerous times. I have had to pull into gas stations to put oil in just to make it home. Toyota is fully aware of the problem and has done nothing for the consumers. This will be a very expensive fix if we every figure out the problem. I've already spent $160 and the numerous oil changes.

I always change my oils reguarlly. I can never make it to my next oil change, having to top off the oil every other week at least.

My 2007 Scion Tc, is experiencing excessive oil consumption believed to be from defective piston rings designed by the manufacturer. This will inevitably lead to engine failure, and is already an extremely expensive fix. My car no longer falls under the standard Toyota powertrain warranty (60 months / 60K miles). But has less than 85,000 miles on it. Toyota will do nothing to fix this problem that has affected multiple model/years of their cars with the engine 2az-fe.

I have driven 1270 mile since my last oil change. My oil light doesn't come on and stay on when the oil is low or empty. It will give a quick flash. When I checked it today, 1/27/17 it was 2 1/2 quarts low. The car only holds 3 quarts. When I took it in about 4 weeks ago for its regular change there was no oil in it at all. I could have blown my engine because I didn't know! the light doesn't come on. It has been checked for leaks and there are none. It has been made clear that I have to do an oil change ever 1200 miles not the normal 3000. This issue is unsafe because I can be driving and without warning blow my engine.

Excessive oil is being lost in the engine.

- Riverside, CA, USA

Engine locked up and needs to be replaced. I was told there was no oil in the engine at all, which seems to be due to a design defect causing no excessive engine oil consumption. I was driving on the interstate and barely made it the shoulder when the car seized up and died. No low oil light ever came on. If someone was driving in heavier traffic, the car could shut off in an active driving lane.

Oil consumption recall required multiple vehicles including my 2007 Scion Tc are plagued the manufacturing defect which is causing vehicles to consume excessive amounts of oil. Toyota announced an "enhanced warranty" to repair the problem but there is little to no progress for the majority of owners because they are delaying the release of parts for repair. I spoke to multiple service advisers at different locations who all said Toyota does not want to take the upfront charge to repair all the affected vehicles. Dealer confirmed that Toyota only sends enough parts to repair 2-3 vehicles per week. My vehicle was confirmed to be consuming excess amounts of oil by the Toyota dealer on 4/16/2016 and I was given a repair date of 3/27/2017. Toyota is intentionally delaying the repairs in an attempt to allow vehicles to become non-operational before repairs are completed. This is egregious, arrogant, and unethical. It is not normal for any vehicle to burn through 2 quarts of oil in less than 1000 miles. They are creating a hazardous situation for anyone operating the affected vehicles. If my engine seizes as a result of running out of oil, an accident is more probable. I am confidant multiple accidents have resulted from Toyota engines seizing due to running out of oil. Surely myself or my child could be injured or suffer heat stroke if I were to run out of oil without access to assistance for multiple hours in 110 degree weather. This is dangerous, please issue a recall.

I do 3000 mile oil changes regularly I've noticed before the 3000 miles I've needed to add 2 quarts of oil before every oil change I see this is a problem with the Scion Tcs is there a way of fixing this I have 160635 miles on the car

I took my car into an auto shop due to a strange scratching/ticking noise coming from my engine compartment. That is when I was informed that my engine was 2 quarts low on oil. I had just had an oil change done 1,000 miles prior, the mechanics told me that my car shouldn't be burning that much oil and that in the current condition my engine isn't going to last much longer. Now because of that I have drive chain problems and really bad blow by coming from my engine due to lack of lubrication. No engine at 115,000 miles should be consuming 2 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. What is Toyota doing about this issue are they going to recall 2007 Scion Tc engines because I know from reading the complaints my engine is not the only one that has extremely bad oil consumption which leads me to believing this is on Toyota's manufacturing not the drivers maintenance.

A recall was made for oil burning consumption, I brought the Scion Tc vehicle to hamer Toyota in mission hills California. They said it was normal for the Scion to burn between 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil within 1500 miles of travel. I believe that is wrong and incorrect. The car is not supposed to burn oil especially at that consumption amount. Yesterday the I we to change the oil at bohans auto shop, they said the car only had about one quart of oil in the car. They said car is not supposed to burn oil.

Takata recall my car's engine recently (two days ago) has been making ticking rattling noises when I start up and begin to accelerate. Took my 2007 Scion Tc in to have the oil checked and they said the valve gasket cover was damaged and just needed replacement. They preformed an oil change and fixed the valve cover and hand me over the keys to take off. As I start up the car the engine is still making the ticking rattling noise. I go back into the service department and ask them if the car just needs to circulate the oil around for a bit to lubricate the engine and then the noise will go away. They all hesitated from answering the question and said it may just permanently be there. My car only has 78,000 miles and I have always kept it in good care. This problem came out of nowhere and left me incredibly disappointed driving away with the same problem left unfixed. After doing some research on the issue I came across many others who have experienced this same sort of problem regarding excessive oil consumption burning that is leading to engine failure. What is Toyota doing about this problem that is occurring for many customers at a low mileage point" are they standing behind their loyalty and trust to their customers or just going to leave them out in the cold to worry about these high cost problems alone" thank you for any help and guidance you can provide.
