2000 Toyota Corolla Owner Comments

Corolla 4-cyl

I own a 2000 Toyota Corolla with a 1.8L engine that is full of sludge and now visibly burns 1 quart of oil every 200-300 miles and will not pass inspection due to the oil being burned in the exhaust. I have had to replace several catalytic converters due to becoming clogged from the amount of oil burning through the engine. This problem has existed since the car had about 55,000 miles on it and local Toyota garage has either denied there being a problem or they have tried to sell me on numerous other expensive repairs such as front and rear main bearings and seals, allegedly warped head, etc. Vehicle now has close to 100K miles. The vehicle will not now pass state emissions inspection and is essentially worthless. There are thousands of like reports in researching but never seems to have been addressed. Other models and years have been included in a class action suits that was successful for the exact same issue, but I can't find that this vehicle has been successfully addressed.

Motor defect - the millions of Toyota vehicles with this motor defect destroying our air... exceeding known pollution limits. You must recall these motors, and have Toyota fix them. They refuse to fix mine... how many millions of vehicles will you allow to destroy the air we breathe" this motor burns and dumps out the exhaust 3 quarts of oil every 200 miles. It has coated the O2 sensor... it has destroyed the catalytic converter... how much oil needs to be dumped into the catalytic converter before a fire starts? it is a known motor defect. Why have you not recalled. They will not fix this motor... how many vehicles will you allow to do this" please save our cities!
