I purchased this used auto from Best Auto Mart, Dec. 12, 2017. It was a one owner with a clean Car Fax 129,000 miles. On arrival to my home via tow truck drop off from the dealer. I got into the auto to drive to an inspection center so that I could register etc. I drove the car for 15 minutes and the engine light came on, oil light, ems. etc.

I pulled over called the dealer and a tow and sent the auto back. The dealer stated he would repair the issues including the cruise control. The auto was once again returned to me by tow. I get the car take it for inspection and it passed. However, later the oil light comes on. I take it to a oil change facility and low and behold NO OIL in the engine, just a drop before the engine would have blown.

So I call the dealer again. He stated; I refuse to fix another thing on that car. My 30 days warranty is not up. So I call again and a man stated he was out of the country and I would have to wait till he came back. Guess what? He is back and is still not answering my calls.

Now I call Toyota because I had them check the car and they told me it had call backs on this model and year some they could do and I would have to call Toyota to get permission for the call back on the oil consumption problem. Now Toyota spokespersons. CEO's or supervisors stated it should have been done by the last owner and they will not repair it now.

Now I have a 5 year payment for a car I can't drive unless I keep putting oil in it every 350 miles. It is $8.00 a quart. I am so disappointed and mechanics tell me it was a recall and the Toyota CEO says its not.

I am elderly and handicapped on a limited social security as well as single. So tell me what to do. I am so upset and Toyota should fix the problem because they knew it was a problem and still is in the 2007 limited Rav4s. Now someone told me the other day to call the state police for safety as it may be an issue..

Good God what do I do? Any advice anyone? The dealer should take the car back or Toyota should fix the problem? Someone pleas help me. Oh yes and I called Toyota again and they explained there is another call back on this car, it never ends.

I have dealt with this issue and the issues that have arisen as a result, clogging emission system, hoses, valves, etc. since I purchased the car in 2014. I have spent a lot of money. Very bad experience. I purchased this car from a dealer, one previous owner. Car facts were impeccable, maintenance every 3000 miles, not 5000. All I have had is engine problems since the purchase. I have been without a vehicle at least once a year for every year since my purchase. This has been and continues to be the most awful experience I have had in the purchase of a vehicle. It is now not running with P2420, P0420, P0441 codes, I still owe $5000 and mechanics basically running because they know it has already been through so much and who knows where this will go. I don't ordinarily put an automaker down but have seen your complaints on the 2007 RAV4 and I'm hoping Toyota will make good on this wrong. I plan to write as this is just not right. I would never allow this to happen to my customer. I could have purchased a new car. I have taken my car to multiple reputable mechanics in this area, who have been in business many years, as well as Toyota service. All shake their heads in discouragement. So, while I could add several more complaints, I will let this one suffice for now.

Toyota RAV4 2007 with really low mileage - 69,000. I am the original owner. Wife does not drive a lot. The low oil light started to come up at 69K when car was 11 years old and out of all warranties. Dealer suggested a repair for $4,300. It is unheard of having engine excessive oil burning at 69K. Dealer said that Toyota only covers up to 10 years or 150K. This auto is 11 years old but only half the mileage. Dealer said Toyota does not cover such repairs for my car. I read that this issue is common for many Toyota's built between 2006 and 2011. Not sure how industry auto leader can get away with such major issues?

After my husband passed away, I purchased my first brand new car - a Toyota Rav4. I believed Toyota to be a reputable company - I was wrong. The problem typically occurs when the vehicle has reached about 100,000 miles, which is of course outside of the warranty period. Toyota is aware that the excessive oil consumption problem is widespread, across many years and models; Toyota even issued a Technical Service Bulletin about the problem. I will never purchase another Toyota. Further, I will tell everyone I know, and those I don't, to NOT purchase a Toyota.

Toyota has always been the number one car that I would want to buy, that is why I brought this Rav4 from a friend who had leased it and was turning it in to Toyota. It was in excellent shape. I figured I would have this car for a very long time without any major problems. But I can't believe when I got in the car today to go home from work and the oil light came on. I had to stop at a auto zone to get oil, never had to put any oil in it before. I kept having the problem and to this day still do. I took it to the toyota dealership to have the oil change, the guy said they could do the usage test and said normally they mark the dip stick but said he wouldn't have to on mine since I just got the oil changed. Of course when I brought it back, it had no supposedly used any. I now have to put a quart of oil a week in it. I believe the car dealership did wrong by not marking the dipstick. Cant trust them anymore. People shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get a problem this major fixed. There should be a recall on them all. I feel my car has zero resale value because of this issue.

My car went through an oil consumption test via Toyota and was deemed to have an acceptable amount of oil loss while in use. This is crazy as it needs a quart every 500 miles. This isn't acceptable and considering Toyota knows this is a problem across many of their vehicles it is a major hazard. All you have to do is forget to fill the oil and you've destroyed your car. Something must be done. Toyota recognizes the problem exists and deems it normal. I've never had a vehicle that needed so much oil without leaking all over the place. This is not acceptable and Toyota needs to step up.

Around 90,000 miles I noticed the car was consuming too much oil. I had to add oil before my oil changes. Never have I had a car where I had to add oil before the change was due. As I put the miles on, it gradually started to get worse. I brought my car in to a local dealership for a recall on oil consumption. The result ...everything is normal, "it's normal for the engine to burn a little oil". Now I drive 100 miles and have to fill it about 1/4 quart. Now my car is smoking. I will not bring it to the Toyota dealership because I don't trust a bunch of Bullshit artists.
