They continue to tell me this is normal which was total bs. 5 oil changes later them telling me this is normal I found traces of oil in my exhaust pipes and metal shards in it. I bring the car to them and they pull the engine to find that my cylinder walls have scoring on them from having no oil. They replaced my short block and gave me my car back. Now my car is making a winding noise when accelerating and when I come to a stop my engine is shaking as if it is about to fall out. I have been in contact with corporate toyota regarding this and they have helped some what but I have a service appointment tomorrow regarding this new engine shaking. Any idea on what I should request or if I should file a lemon law?

I'd suggest looking up lemon law guidelines in NY and going that route. The car will never be the same to you imo. That's how I feel about mine.
