The engine makes a horrible ticking sound and consumes almost 4 quarts of oil for every four hundred miles I drive, so basically every time I fill up with gas I'm also filling my car with oil. When I first noticed this in 2011 I took it to a mechanic and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They said I could pay them to take apart the entire engine, but there was no guarantee they would find the problem. At first I would add an extra quart of oil every time I filled up with gas, but now this has progressively gotten worse - to four quarts for every four hundred miles. The engine light stays on all the time and just today it started flashing. There is absolutely no reason I should have to add this much oil every single time and just imagine all of the pollution going into the environment! this is definitely a quality related issue for Toyota. After doing some research about this car I have discovered that the 2000-2002 Celica gt's engines were made incorrectly and that its a manufactures defect. So because Toyota decided to skimp on making quality engines pretty much anyone who has one of these has to buy oil and gas and drives with the fear that the engine could possibly stop at any point and cause an accident.
