Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE ON OUR 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND INDICATES NEEDING A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HOWEVER, THAT IS AN EFFECT OF THE CAUSE OF EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL. I ADD APPROX 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 250-400 MILES. IF HIGHWAY DRIVING, I EASILY ADD 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 100 MILES OF DRIVING. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH 1ZZ-FE 1.8L ENGINES FROM 1998-2002 BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THIS CONDITION DOES NOT MANIFEST ITSELF UNTIL OUT OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, THIS WILL NEVER BE A WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUE UNLESS TOYOTA ADMITS THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
