Ive been going thru a lot of oil lately and i dont understand why, i have a friend that owns the same car and told me he was going thru the same thing and took the car to toyota and turns out they had a recall about oil consumption so they ended up rebuilding his engine or replacing it. So im wondering if im going thru the same thing. I have to put oil in the car every 2 weeks

I am also one of them that just learned why my 2007 Scion TC is eating the oil. I love this car and wish I would have received the notice about the engine problems back when Toyota may have done something about it. I know that three difference dealerships have my contact info. I will continue to put in a quart of oil each week until that stops helping.

Oil consumption is abnormally high. Recorded roughly a quart or more consumed per 1,000 miles. No leaks evident. Car use is normal daily use, and car engine and mechanical components have not been tampered with in any way whatsoever. Oil reservoir is nearing empty after roughly 2600 miles after fresh oil change.

Plate over back hatch just below third brake light detaches & hangs by a cable. It swings while driving & scratches the bottom of the hatch & back fender. If cable breaks while driving it will become airborne. The hatch plate hooks snapped off while the vehicle was stationary & I was opening the hatch. Now that it's broke off the car it swings while driving hanging by a cable. I have to keep it taped.
