Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Toyota Corolla

2013 Toyota Corolla consuming excessive oil. Continuing to refill engine oil. No visible leaks, no oil stains under vehicle. Vehicle is slowly losing power. Noticed many other Toyota vehicles going through this same problem. This is very costly and if Toyota parts are at fault I want people to know. Thank you for your time.

My vehicle has been taken to the Toyota dealership at least 12 times since purchased. It has already had a rear seal leak, back brakes and front brake work and rear brakes replaced. The timing chain cable was leaking oil and they replaced it. It has not ran the same since. It continues to hesitate to almost stalling out during takeoff at red lights and intersections. It's acceleration is terrible even for a 4 cylinder. We have been cooperative for the 3 years with Toyota, but now that the warranty is void due to the 3 years, and not the mileage, we no longer receive such a helpful conversation with any of the managers there. The car is still under 25,000 miles, and has been a total lemon to us. We've exhausted all hopes of them fixing the real problem since they continue to claim that they couldn't find any such problem in the acceleration issues and stalling in the intersections. We will never again purchase a Toyota vehicle ever again. We have purchased many Toyota's in the past, which prompted us to buy another. But after this car, and poor mechanics and service management, we will refrain from another Toyota, ever. If you can resolve our issue by either an equivalent exchange of another vehicle, or fix the real reason it's not running properly, and frankly never has, I would appreciate any help that can be given on my behalf. Thank you, jean h. Fitzmorris.

The car suddenly stopped and soon caught fire by itself when I was driving on 101 & lawrence express, California. Report shown by insurance company said "found cyl #1 rod is bent and has punctured the eng. Block causing oil to leak also the block impacted the ac compressor possibly causing the veh to catch fire melting the ac compressor harness,rf wheel speed harness,front bumper,wheel and wheel liner. No other failures seen or demo" this happened a week after I had my car inspected and maintained. Tried to reach Toyota, but they are not responding.

Dear officer, I bought this car (Toyota Corolla 2007) in Dec 2012 from a private party. The car was totally running fine. I have been changing the oil every 3 months. Last month, I started noticing white smoke coming out from the rear exhaust pipe and the Toyota dealer said it would be O2 sensor and changed it (charged $400). I started noticing white smoke again and this time they said there is a oil leakage and fixed it (charged $450). They also told me that the whole bottom part of the engine is full of oil sludge and that would take $4000 to fix. I bought this car for only 8500$ kindly investigate and let me know if this is a known problem in Toyota Corolla. I am sure there are lot of consumers like me might be running into this problem. Thanks babu.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated the vehicle was included in NHTSA recall campaign id number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling). When the vehicle was repaired per the recall, the contact noticed the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel and a vibration in the engine. The contact stated prior to the recall repair there was an oil leak in the engine. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing nor was it repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

The problem is and has been excess oil usuage. It uses a quart about every 400 hundred miles. I bought the car used at a local Honda dealer may, 2010. It had 102,000 miles on it. It now has 117,000. It's been using oil every since I've had it. I took it back to the dealer and they couldn't find any thing wrong. They said the engine was clean and there were no oil leaks anywhere. I've searched the internet and there are alot of complaints posted about this car. The problem is the engine put in the car in 2002. A 1. 6l was replaced with a new 1. 8l engine and evidently the 1. 8l didn't seat properly causing oil usuage. My son drove this car while he was at college. The problem is, with this kind of oil usage, you can run the car out of oil. We tried to keep up with it, but if you run it high speeds it will use more oil. If the car runs out of oil on an interstate and the engine locks up, well you could have a serious safety problem. I keep the car at home now because of the safety concerns. We drive it locally only.

I purchased a used 2003 Corolla. Vehicle came with all service records and it had been well maintained. I also checked all fluids. Mileage was 133,065 at the time I purchased it. I thought this was good because Toyotas are suppose to last forever, right? a week after I bought it I noticed a knocking in the engine. I checked the oil and it was out. I have to put 3-4 quarts of oil in my car every 7-8 days. It does not leak, it burns it. The engine needs to be replaced. The emissions light stays on and I have also lost a hubcap cover. I've noticed that every other 03 Corolla I pass on road is also missing at least one. After reading the complaints on here, I am very concerned and know I will never by Toyota again.

I have a 2002 Toyota Corolla that uses an excessive amount of oil it is not leaking it out it is burning it. After reading numerous complaints of virtually the same problems from other Toyota Corolla consumers I believe this seems to be a common problem in this year make and model. I even had to replace my catalytic converter due to the problem. My local Toyota dealership told me to call the national Toyota customer experience line and they told me that this was not a recognized problem. From everything that I have been told from car repair places and the internet I must "your looking at a complete overhaul. . . You want to replace the piston rings and valve stems. . . But every gasket you touch or go near should be replaced along the way. Also add in incidentals for items that break or things that are discovered along the way. . . " Toyota will not admit that this is a manufacturing problem; however, lots of people are having issues with it including myself. I have not done an overhaul of the engine because I am looking for Toyota to take responsibility for their poor work. I did replace the catalytic converter in July of 2009. Right now I am going through all my in less than 3,000 miles. I have to put oil in before my regular oil changes. Now I am just waiting for the next major replacement due to this problem. Many others are putting quarts of oil in every 1,000 miles or less. I can't wait until I get to this point to have this resolved.

I am having a problem with my Toyota Corolla 2001. I do not know were the engine oil goes, I have the oil changed every 3000 miles but when I check the oil dip stick there is no oil and then the oil lamp comes on. I check for leaks and my car does not leak oil. . The vehicle was checked by the dealer and they said nothing was wrong with it but I still get the check oil lamp in dashboard. Where does the oil go?.

: the contact stated the vehicle had faulty equipment which caused engine oil to leak. The oil light never illuminated which resulted in the engine dying and the vehicle needing a new engine. The vehicle was not taken to a service dealer.

It has been "pure hell". Yes, they pulled a fast one on me, and I'm not happy right now. When I lost oil completely out of my engine the first time, I was told that they would repair the engine by rebuilding because of the oil sludge problem, and besides that, I was under the 60,000 miles warranty. The second time it was the rear end seal in the engine that they say was causing further oil leaks, that I paid for because I was over the 60,000 on the second return to Toyota. They originally charged me $850, but then said they would give me a break because they believe in customer satisfaction, they charged me $336. When they gave me the loaner, I thought it was covered too, but for 9 days I end up paying $330 for the rental. I sent a certified letter to the owner, but yet no response.

A loose bolt within the engine caused an oil leak.

Vehicle has been leaking oil, leaked a very large amount of oil. In a few months engine was dry. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.

I purchased the car October, 2000 as a used car with a warranty. About two weeks later the car broke down and had to be towed to dealer that I bought it from. A rebuilt engine block was put in because of major oil problems. It took over a month for them to finish the repair. I was assured that it was ok. About 5 months later the car started leaking oil and I had to constantly watch the oil level. I was told by the same dealer that it was normal to have to watch the oil on a car that old. I got more concerned and called another dealer and was told that it was not normal so I took the car back to the dealer. I insisted that the car be looked at. Again the engine block had to be replaced as something was not put on correctly (that is the excuse they gave me). This took about 2 weeks to repair. Again I was assured that the car would last this time. The engine was under warranty at this time. Three months later the engine light went on so I took it back again. They fixed that problem but I am not sure what they did at that time. I drove the car just over a year and just this week the car started smoking. I took it to the dealer and was told that there was major work on the engine that needed to be done but the warranty was out. It will be very expensive to fix it and so they did not want to do it. Now I have a car that does not run without smoking and I still owe $7000 on it. I am very upset because it seems that they sold me a car with major problems that they never could fix.
