My 2009 Toyota Corolla has an oil consumption problem that Toyota refused to remedy. Last April, I noticed a grinding noise and had gotten the oil changed 4800 miles earlier. I looked at my dip stick and it was totally dry. Since then I have been getting oil consumption tests every 1000 miles which really doesn't prove anything, especially when Toyota over fills! I contacted the Gulf Coast region District Manager and was told they can't do anything unless the car consumes more then 1.1 quarts in 600 miles. That means everytime I fill up with gas, I would need to put in 1/2 quart ...THEY CONSIDER THIS NORMAL!!! I am taking action through the State DMV but don't know if I have any leverage since it states the above consumption in the owner's manual!
The ECM has been reflashed and I have changed to synthetic oil but still no results. Does anyone know what I can do to either fix the problem or how to get any results from Toyota? I can't believe Toyota will not stand behind their product!
