2019 Toyota Avalon Owner Comments

problem #2

Aug 012019

Avalon Touring 3.5L, V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,500 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Low engine oil light started turning on at 4,500 miles. At 5,400 miles (the 5,000 mile check up for tire rotation), tech noted 2.5 quarts low. Oil was changed and dealership wanted to check again at 6,600 miles. No oil shortage noted. At 10,000 mile rotation and 1st official recommended oil change, 1 quart low noted. Toyota authorizes dealership to pull valve covers to inspect. Valve seal on # 4 was dislodged so Toyota authorized all valve seals and other necessary parts to be replaced. Tech states that the small amount of oil burnt in 10,000 miles should not affect catalytic converter or sensors or engine performance down the road. I have concerns about that.

Avalon XLE 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,500 miles

There was a whole lot more than just burning 1.5 quarts of oil in this car. I have had 3 oil consumptions test done and each time the techs have to put oil in the car. They never admit there is an issue but my 2014 Avalon never had a low oil light come on in 100,000 miles. The 2019 low engine oil light has come on 3 time with less than 10,000 miles on it. Each time needing oil added to a little over 3.5 quarts of oil added in 10,000 miles is a significant issue. Not to mention I can't trust the dealership any way they sold me a car with a known recall without a fix for it and didn't bother telling me when I bought the car! That is a bigger issue in my book because they hid it from me to sell the car. I would have never have bought it.

A week later we returned the car to have the clear coat ceramic coat applied to the top layer of paint for added protection, there was a million scratches on it and they said I must have done that but they would fix it! Yeah KOKOMO AUTO WORLD are crooks! Do not trust them! Toyota isn't much better because they haven't addressed that a federal crime was committed by the dealership hiding the fact that the Avalon had a recall on it at the time off purchase without disclosing it to the potential purchaser. Nothing to date has been done so I guess it is ok to lie to customers to make a sell and oh they are above the law because they have been getting by with it for years evidently. This isn't their first rodeo and they know it. I need a good attorney - looks like we all do fighting the oil consumed due to bad engine design or parts!
