Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY 2010 COROLLA HAS SUDDENLY STARTED BURNING (NOT LEAKING) OIL AT THE RATE OF 1 QUART PER EVERY 1500 MILES. I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY WATCHING IT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS MOST LIKELY A DEFECTIVE ENGINE OR PISTON RINGS. VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE TOYOTA KNOWINGLY PUT THESE DEFECTIVE ENGINES IN THE 2010 COROLLA. THEY PUT THE SAME ENGINE IN OTHER COROLLAS UP TO 2009. OBVIOUSLY IN THE 2010 ALSO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I'M SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
