Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 and a 2002 chevy prizm. both cars are using excessive oil (several quarts every 100 miles each). dealer states this is a common problem due to carbon buildup in the cylinders. excessive oil consumption started around 50,000 miles. the chevy prizm is really a toyota corolla. toyota has had this problem and has warranted the repair. general motors is not assisting its customers with the repair. i guess that is why toyota is number one car maker and gm is number 2. i will never buy another gm product again. *jb
