Engine Burning Oil Problems of Toyota Matrix

My vehicle is going through several quarts of oil within the 3,000 mile range. Excessive oil consumption.

I'm very disappointed with Toyota. My vehicle runs out of oil. Period before 3,000 miles. No "red" oil light. It just runs out of oil. I took it for Toyota oil consumption test and it passed. So I go for a second test. No. The 10 year 150,000 extended warranty is expired. So I am now stuck putting oil in this vehicle weekly until it ultimately fails. It runs rough and I expect it to fail. Shame on ntsb and Toyota for not recalling this motor. I get a 10 year warranty that starts when the vehicle is first used - not when I'm notified. Very shady and unethical. I also have reservations that the test was properly implemented.

Engine burns oil at a rate of 1 quart every 500 miles. Mileage is only 105,000.

Excessive oil consumption noted at 78,000 miles, just not excessive enough to meet TSB guidelines. Had one oil consumption performed so far.

Excessive oil consumption. Red oil light comes on when you turn and stop vehicle before manufacturer change interval. Took to Toyota dealership for oil consumption test and the vehicle passed. Toyota fails to provide any technical information about the test such as what oil type used, amounted added, amount burned. This is the second TSB refused by Toyota for this vehicle to get out of safety recall and lawsuits. My first safety complaint was to get tbs for loose computer assisted steering. Toytota refused based on time passed and mileage of vehicle.

My car is having an excessive oil consumption on which is a problem that Toyota dealers are fully aware of and are not willing to do anything to fix the problem. Is unacceptable that a car with only 35,000 miles on it consumed all the oil out before it reaches 4,500 miles for service requirement. Government needs to do something about this fraudulent dealers whom are taking advantage of people like me and stating that according to Toyotas protocol there is not problem with the car if its consuming all the oil out after the 2 test Toyota performs. And they do not want customers to go with a private mechanic to perform the test because they take all of their liability off if someone else beside Toyota mechanics touch the car. It's obvious they are hiding something again. Please help.

The engine burns excessive amounts of oil and has now starting making what appears to be either faulty lifter or camshaft noises. The Matrix burns at least 1 quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven. I do regular maintenance and monitor the oil level weekly.

Excessive oil consumption. My car stalled in the middle of driving at a turn, several times in the cold and causing my car to slip. Luckily I was in a parking lot but when I slowed and turned, my car would turn off and right back on. I could not get a diagnosis because it didn't happen at the dealer. But then I took a test and found out I have excessive oil consumption. Not sure if related.

Had a oil consumption recall that the dealer said it passed the test because it did't lose 1 qt of oil during a 1200 mile time. Was told it is normal for oil to dissappear.

The engine had "sludged" at about 70,000 miles (2004 Toyota Matrix). The Toyota dealership had done the oil changes routinely since I purchased the car certified. The engine was rebuilt using an extended warranty I had purchased from a private company (not Toyota). The car was knocking when I was driving home from michigan to florida. I checked the oil, it was dry, so I bought more oil and filled it (2 quarts). By the time I got home, the oil stick again read empty, so I again filled it. I did not see any oil burning (the smoke cloud). Another day passed and the oil was empty again, so I took it into the shop and they determined the oil had been clogged.
