Chimicles & Tikellis LLP
FINALLY!!!! .... Everyone please, if this applies to you then report your
issue to that site.
From the site:
"
February 27, 2014 — The law firm of Chimicles & Tikellis is investigating a
possible class-action lawsuit against Toyota after complaints of excessive
oil consumption in certain vehicles.
The vehicles include the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid; 2007-2009 Toyota
Camry; 2009 Toyota Corolla; 2009 Toyota Matrix; 2006-2008 Toyota RAV4; 2007-
2008 Toyota Solara; 2007-2009 Scion tC; and the 2008-2009 Scion xB.
A Defective Design?
Chimicles & Tikellis say the vehicles might contain defective piston rings
in the engine. They are investigating if the alleged design defect has
caused owners to spend thousands of dollars to fix a problem that should
have been covered under warranty.
Toyota issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) in 2011 informing dealers
of repair procedures for owners who complain about excessive oil consumption
. Toyota said some 2006-2011 vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine may
experience the problem.
To minimize oil consumption, Toyota changed the piston assembly and provided
mechanics with updated repair procedures.
Vehicles with the 2AZ Engine Covered in the TSB
2007 – 2011 Camry Hybrid
2007 – 2009 Camry
2009 Corolla
2009 Matrix
2006 – 2008 RAV4
2007 – 2008 Solara
Unlike a recall, a TSB is essentially updated repair procedures for
mechanics. An automaker does not have to pay for repairs if they determine
the problem is outside the warranty limitations, and unlike recalls, the
owner of the affected vehicle is not required to be notified of the issue.
Additionally, a recall wouldn't be issued for a problem like this because
excessive oil consumption isn't considered a safety defect.
On the 2AZ engines, Toyota considers oil consumption to be normal at one
quart of oil used per 1,200 miles or less of "normal driving." " | W***n
