I was driving down the highway at approximately 55 mph when my car started to accelerate by itself. I stepped on the brakes until they smoked, but the car continued to accelerate. I was so scared i was afraid to try and turn around to get to the nearest mechanic so i continued home which is a straight line and riding the brakes the entire way approximately 3 miles, got into the driveway and put the car into park at…

2000 toyota corolla - oil consumption. I, like a number of other owners, have experienced what i consider high oil consumption. My mileage is approximately 62,000 miles. Carbon buildup occurs on valves resulting in loud rattling (detonation) under acceleration, especially between 2500 and 3500 rpm. Dealer said there should be an expected amount of oil consumption between changes but i am adding close to 2 quarts per…

My toyota corolla 2000's timing belt "slipped" causing the malfunction lights to go on and the engine suddenly died on highway 17 in santa cruz. We managed to pull the car over to the shoulder of the mountainous road just in time to avoid an accident. We had our five year old son in the car! *nm

My dads 2000 toyota corolla was bought new and was driven for fours years without any problems. He took care of the car religiously and has 60 mile commute both ways to get to work and home. Everything was fine up to the middle of 2004 when the engine started use oil at an excessive rate and then, out of nowhere, it developed a rod knock. He ended up buying a new car but the corolla still had the rod knock and it…

Sudden increase in the rate of engine oil loss. At 120,000 km (~72,000 miles) the engine started burning oil at a rate in excess of 1 qt. Per 2,000 miles. Engine and car serviced at toyota dealer per all scheduled service since the car was bought new (all oil changes on time per schedule). The rapid change from burning no oil between changes to burning a 4 quarts between scheduled changes remains unexplained.…

My corolla started using excessive oil at about 60,000 miles. When i took it to our regular mechanic who see that the oil is changed at recommended times (i have the receipts) he could not determine why the engine was blowing oil out the back tailpipe and suggested that i take it to the local toyota dealership. The toyota dealership inspected the car, made copies of my receipts, took a picture of the oil on the back…

Oil sludge in my 2000 corolla at 60,135 miles on it. I have had regular oil changes with receipts to prove it. I took the vehicle to dealership the day after the oil pressure and check engine light came on at the same time. The dealership advised that nothing they can do but replace my engine but said it would not be covered under my warranty with almost 40,000 miles left on it. They also said there was nothing they…

Started burning oil at the rate of about 1 quart every 750 to 1000 miles right around 60k it currently has 68k, and i just realized it was a toyota problem rather than a failure on the part of my mechanics to properly fill my oil level. I have just initiated interface with a toyota dealer and we are monitoring oil usage.

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…

The car was great until 01/22/03 when out of the blue it decided choking down, white and black smoke coming from the tailpipe. Toyota of hollywod (fl) the dealership swears it is from my failure to perform regular oil changes. I provided them with oil receipts from my licensed mechanic of 30+ years. They accused me of dummying up the receipts, in essence calling myself and my mechanic a liar. We met with factory…
