My husband noticed the oil pressure light was on. Took the vehicle to our mechanic and was told there was "little to no oil" left and that it was a miracle we made it to the shop without the engine seizing completely. The piston rings are loose and oil is now leaking and burning internally. Our mechanic specializes in Japanese imports, and he told us he saw this same issue with a 2012 Sienna just the previous week (same engine). We purchased this vehicle because we wanted a reliable vehicle that would last us well over 250k miles. Now we are looking to either replace the engine or rebuild at a cost between $7k-$9k (quoted from the Toyota dealership), or sell the car as-is ASAP. This car has never missed a scheduled service or oil change. It only has 112K miles and we are extremely disappointed in this outcome, as now we have significant financial issues to overcome.

The "maintenance required " light came on and I started noticing a strange noise as I started the car every morning and again as I accelerated. I called and made an appointment with the dealer I purchased the the vehicle. The service reported to me that the oil level was barely visible on the dip stick. The dealer ship conducted an "oil pressure test" and did not discover any leaks. So they are conducting an "Oil Consumption" test and I am to return to the dealership after 1100 mile to determine the amount of oil consumed.
