CarComplaints.com Notes: Owners are reporting that their engines are running out of oil awfully quick. As in, 1 quart every 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains that’s with the “normal†operating range of the 2AZ-FE while owners maintain that’s complete BS.
The issue may be the result of defective piston rings.

I have used Toyota cars for the past 15 years. I have always bought Toyota cars for their reliability. Now I am not so sure anymore. When I went to the car dealer in early 2015 to complain about my car using too much oil they said that I would have to run an oil consumption test for 1200 miles to find out how serious it was. It passed the test and they said the engine was ok. Then after many months of the same annoying issue I researched the problem online I found the problem was common. It said that cars produced in the Tennessee plant have had issues with faulty pistons. The biggest problem I have after calling the national 800 number for Toyota, was they never told me about any piston problems. As it turns out they have had issues in the 2008-2011's. That really upset me that they never let me know. Then after going back to the dealership that I bought the car I talked with the general manger and complained again. So they did another oil consumption test for 1200 miles. This time it failed the test. I was then told that the pistons would be replaced when it was my turn to do the necessary repairs. They only told me that this would take some time. That was ok, but I never once got a phone call or letter or e-mail explaining why the pistons were faulty or when my car was going to be repaired. I finally just got the service done on 11/16/2016. Over one year later! Over the past year I bought quite a few 5 gallon containers of oil to put in my car daily. I would like to be reimbursed for the oil I used because of thee faulty pistons. I will never buy another Toyota car.
