Consumer Description
DEAR OFFICER, I BOUGHT THIS CAR (TOYOTA COROLLA 2007) IN DEC 2012 FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY RUNNING FINE. I HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 3 MONTHS. LAST MONTH, I STARTED NOTICING WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE REAR EXHAUST PIPE AND THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE O2 SENSOR AND CHANGED IT (CHARGED $400). I STARTED NOTICING WHITE SMOKE AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THERE IS A OIL LEAKAGE AND FIXED IT (CHARGED $450). THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE WHOLE BOTTOM PART OF THE ENGINE IS FULL OF OIL SLUDGE AND THAT WOULD TAKE $4000 TO FIX. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR ONLY 8500$ KINDLY INVESTIGATE AND LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN TOYOTA COROLLA. I AM SURE THERE ARE LOT OF CONSUMERS LIKE ME MIGHT BE RUNNING INTO THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
