Proof of oil changes had to be provided, much discussion about how it was "our fault". Since we are both…

I am not sure of dates, but our toyota dealer tried to blame us for the "smoking" problem due to the lack of oil changes. We did not slack off on the oil changes, and now they admit that the "smoking" problem is due to bad engine design, or whatever. We have had the van in for repairs several times, but i am not sure of dates, or how much we have spent. The problem has started again, and this time,…

I then questioned him about any other issues with a 2000 sienna and he looked me right in the eyes and said no.…

Dt: the caller states that the oil in vehicle was disappearing from the engine. He drove 800 miles to florida and had to put 4 or 5 quarts of oil. He has to put that much oil every 1500 miles. Dealer had the vehicle since august 5, 2005 and they could not find the cause of the problem. Manufacturer sent the caller a letter stating the engine could fail because of the oil problem. It was an oil consumption problem.…

Engine sludge problem. Toyota is fixing (although i think they should replace it) it one time. They will not fix it a second time regardless of service records. This is totally unacceptable. We are also concerned that the resale value of the van will be greatly reduced.

Desludge engine, replace valve stem seals and clean out oil pan. Cleaned engine but my concern is that they have not fixed the root cause. Want the engine problem fixed not just cleaned.
