Re: Toyota Owners (online) Unite for Resolution: Engine Slu
Posted by Scott Hopper on 2/26/07

    I have a 2001 Rav4 that has Engine oil Sludge problem. The
    Check engine light stays on and Smoke emits from Exhaust. The
    Rav4 is not listed in the Class action Law suit that just
    settled on Feb 7, 2007. Does anyone else have a RAV4 with Oil
    Sludge? Oh, and by the way I received a Letter about the
    settlement but it said Camary on the notice??? Not sure what
    to do at this point.
