problem #3

Oct 012014

Corolla LX 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

I own several Toyota's (3), on the Corolla we had the oil changed every 3K. This engine was defective in a 600 mi trip, it consumed all the oil and blew.

This car only had 30000 miles,

I heard this is a known issue.

Toyota should step up and reimburse payment,

I had a Jasper rebuild put in it,

Quality first means standing up and fixing defects.

Corolla

  • Automatic transmission
  • 113,000 miles

Toyota has such good rating so we bought it almost new but consistent electrical problems and engine quit, we had to put new engine under 120000miles, did regular oil changes and maintenance, it didn't matter.
