Description of the problem	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.
