2007 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine Problems

I purchased my 2007 Toyota Camry brand new. Since early ownership, the vehicle has suffered from excessive engine oil consumption. Toyota acknowledged this issue and performed major engine repairs at a Toyota dealership, including replacing pistons and piston rings under their oil consumption program, but the defect continued. The vehicle continues to consume approximately 1.5 quarts of oil every 1–2 months. This defect affects engine reliability and long-term safety. Despite these repairs, the oil consumption problem was never resolved. I was instructed by Toyota to track the amount of oil I was forced to purchase and was told I would be reimbursed. I complied, but Toyota never reimbursed me. I have an extensive repair history with Toyota. A Toyota dealership technician informed me that my repair history is unusually extensive and described it as a “book” in Toyota’s system. The vehicle continues to consume excessive oil, requiring frequent top-offs that pose a risk of engine failure if not constantly monitored. Toyota has failed to permanently correct a known defect despite repeated repair attempts. I believe this is a widespread defect affecting 2007 Toyota Camry vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine and request NHTSA review this matter.

Engine—was told by dealership that we needed a new motor because of lack of oil in engine - had not seen oil drips or any smoking out of muffler. No lights on dashboard. Only been serviced by dealership. Told us; we needed to keep check and add oil as needed until we decided on a new motor or trade. Either is not a good option because of expense. We are probably going to bite the bullet and have to trade with not being able to get much out of trade because of this. The car is in very good condition, no wrecks and had hoped we were to get more mileage. We keep check and add oil. Know this is just a complaint, but am sure others had same problem.

Excessive engine oil consumption. Penske Toyota of Downey would Not fix my car when I took it in. I received a letter from Corporate Toyota. I also received a letter on the sticky dash board. They replaced the dash board but, they would Not fixed my engine problem. I took their word for it and now I have to check my oil often and keep oil in my trunk. I never get an oil warning light. I just have to make sure by checking it often. Penske refused to fix my car, they told me it was normal for my car to lose oil. I was made aware of both problems back to back by Corporate Toyota but Penske said no. No problem here according to them. So… the problem just got worst and worst over time.

The problem that I have is the same as the one I years ago. There was a recall on 2007 Toyota Camrys for oil consumption. At the time I waws never getting the maintenance indicator because the engine would run low on oil before I needed an oil change. I am having the same problem again. The car is not leaking oil. It's consuming oil. I now must drive around with extra oil in the trunk in case the oil is low. I have been a Toyota owner since 1986. I have always thought of Toyota as being one of the most reliable cars on the road. I have taken the car to the dealer near me (Toyota South Morrow, GA). Of course they do not want to further investigate this problem further. But I am sure is the problem. My mechanic also agrees that this is likely the problem.? What component failed? Engine / Oil How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car could stop at any time with engine failure, blown gaskets, etc. The problem is easily reproduce every oil change. Toyota Dealership has reviewed the problem. Now the consumption is so bad I have to check the oil every 2 weeks. The low oil indicator does not come on. Is there another recall possible if this first recall doesn't fix the problem permanently.

Vehicles dash board is melting. Produces a high shine effect that reflects sunlight into the front glass, effectively blinding the driver. Toyota has acknowledged this in a “warranty enhancement program” but will no longer repair the dashboard as the recall has “expired”. The warranty program had expired prior to me taking ownership of the vehicle. Engine burns oil due to piston assembly manufacturing errors. Toyota has acknowledged this in T-SB-0158-14 but will no longer repair the engine as the recall has “expired”. The recall had expired prior to me taking ownership of the vehicle.

i

UNKNOWN The engine simply started cluttering one day and gave in. The car has relatively low mileage. Toyota engines are expected to last > 200,000 miles

My visors exploded in my face on two occasions while I was driving. My dash board is sticky and has a glare that makes visibility harder. An engine oil issue. All these recalls are expired through toyota and they are refusing to replace any of them.

In 2019, one of the Value Springs broke in the engine of 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with 3.5L V6 engine which required the engine to be replaced. The engine had just over 100k miles on it. I am reporting this because I found out that there was a recall on 2005-2008 Lexus vehicle with 3.5L V6 engines.

My car burns oil excessively causing an increased risk for the engine to overheat and stall. This defect increases the risk of a crash and could lead to a fire. With research and by contacting a local Toyota dealership, I learned that this is a known defect of the 2AZFE engine. Specifically, the piston rings and the pistons are defective and known to cause excessive motor oil burning. Although Toyota has offered an extended warranty for this issue, I was informed by the local dealership that the extended warranty is no longer valid for my car because too much time has elapsed. I was never contacted to inform me of these defective engine components or that my car was given an extended warranty. The Toyota dealership states that they will only confirm this defect if we pay their mechanics for the inspection. Excessive oil consumption has been verified by our non-dealership mechanic. My car is available for further inspection.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the oil level warning light illuminated. The contact checked the oil level and became aware that the vehicle had no oil in the engine. The contact added oil and took the vehicle to the dealer. The contact was informed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil and that TSB-0030-15 had expired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the service bulletin TSB-0030-15 had already expired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Excessive oil burn

I can not see well because the dash shinya, it is melting and sticky. oil consumption with my Camry 2007 I need always check the oil every single week

Transmission downshifts and accelerates without pressing the pedal. At times difficulty pressing pedals and then abruptly accelerates. Also, downshifts and slows down without breaking making it dangerous on the highway. Happens all the time. Everyday. Reading all the complaints about transmission. Criminal!!! it has not been recalled.

when driving both of ABS & Break dashboard warning lights are on, RPM meter will go up & down, temperature gage is down. Unable to be certain the vehicle safe to be operation.

Excessive oil consumption

THE CAMRY STARTED REVVING UP TO 1500 RPM AT STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS, LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE AFTER HAVING CAR FOR A MONTH. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR SAVED CODES, I JUST NOTICE THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE DROP WHILE ITS DOING IT SO ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY USUALLY WHEN WARM OUT. I AM TOO SCARED TO HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND CANNOT JUSTIFY SELLING. HOPEFULLY TOYOTA WILL HELP FIGURE THIS OUT. DEALER REPLACED FUEL PUMP BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO HAS HARD STARTING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, WILL ALWAYS START ON THE THIRD TRY IF NOT IMMEDIATELY.

CAMRY BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL AND NEEDS TOP UP AT FREQUENT INTERVALS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND ENGINE NEEDS FIX

IN 2015 I NOTICED I WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST, SO I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE PISTON RINGS (A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED), AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 2020, AND I'M BURNING THROUGH 2.5 QUARTS EVERY FILL-UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND 'CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE' WAS DETECTED ALONG WITH A BAD SPARK PLUG. I HAD TO SPEND AROUND $400 TO FIX A COIL AND SPARK PLUG BECAUSE THE 3RD CYLINDER HAD EXPANDED AND WAS SPILLING OVER. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME ADDING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1/2 TANK. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $2,000-$3,000 TO FIX. I'VE SEEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO BAD PISTON RINGS. I WAS FORCED TO GET A NEW CAR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THIS.

HOWEVER, THE MANAGER TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS 145,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT OF TOYOTA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS.

BURNS TOO MUCH OIL. FRIENDS WITH CAMRYS AND SCIONS BOTH HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SAME ISSUE. I BARELY MAKE IT TO 2000 MILE MARK AND HAVE TO ADD OIL. EVEN DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO BURN THROUGH TOO MUCH OIL. IF THEY KNOW THIS AND IT'S A PROBLEM FOR MANY THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED.

I OWN 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 79K MILES. I STARTED CONSUMED OIL ON 75K MILES. IT CONSUMED 1.3 EVERY 1000 MIES. 2007 TO 2009 2.4L 4-CYL 2AZ-FE. THIS ENGINE HAD BAD REPUTATION FOR OIL BURNING.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 104,000 (+/-) MILES AND HAVE NOTICED IT'S CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL AN I HAVE HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER (ATLANTIC TOYOTA IN LYNN, MA) WHERE THEY'VE CONFIRMED THAT IT NEEDS NEW PISTON RINGS WHICH IS CAUSING THE OIL TO BE CONSUMED AT SUCH A A GREAT RATE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF AND IN THE PAST HAS OFFERED FIXES (REPLACING THE PISTONS, ETC). I BELIEVE THEY CALLED IT A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM BACK IN 2015-2016. I WAS NOT OFFERED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THIS WARRANTY EFFORT.

I AM SO UPSET THAT WE NOW HAVE A NONWORKING VEHICLE THAT WE STILL OWE MONEY ON. I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY 2007 MODELS WITH ENGINE FAILURE. I'M NOT A DETECTIVE BUT SOMETHING IS CRIMINAL ABOUT THIS. WE WORK HARD TO PAY FOR THESE VEHICLES....THEY ARNT A TOY WE PLAY WITH....WE NEED THEM TO GET PLACES SAFELY.

I PURCHASED A CAMRY FROM BOB (XXXX) IN 2007. THE CAR STARTED CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL NOT LONG AFTER THE TOYOTA ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2014. I DID NOT GET A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. BOB (XXXX) INFORMED ME OF THE NEED TO RUN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN JULY 2015; WHICH WE DID. I WAS TOLD THE TEST "PASSED" EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON OVER & OVER AGAIN. I REQUESTED A 2ND TEST IN DEC 2015 AND I WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT THE CAR "PASSED" THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. FOR 3 YEARS I COMPLAINED TO BOB (XXXX) ABOUT THE SITUATION, INCLUDING THE CAR CHOKING WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BRAKE; OIL PRESSURE LIGHT; ENGINE LIGHT; HAVING TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR UPON DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO, ETC.. THIS ALL HAPPENED FROM 2015-2018. IN 2018, BOB (XXXX) TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL INSTEAD OF BURNING OIL. THIS WASN'T AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. SO, I WENT TO A TRUSTED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOOK A DETAIL LOOK AT MY CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AT ALL. I WENT BACK TO BOB (XXXX) & DEMANDED A 3RD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER MUCH ARGUING THEY AGREED TO IT. WE DID THE TEST AND IT FAILED IN DEC 2018. THIS CONFIRMED WHAT I KNEW ALL ALONG. YET THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO THE POINT WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER WAYNE (XXXX) REFUSED TO TAKE MY CALLS. THEY TELL ME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, WHICH IS VERY FITTING FOR THEM &TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA INC. WHO ALSO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2016. MY CAR IS BARELY AT 105,000 MILES WHICH IS BELOW THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY LIMIT OF 150,000 MILES OR 10 YRS. THE FACT THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY & WAS MISLEAD THE WHOLE TIME DID NOT COUNT FOR ANYTHING. OBVIOUSLY, THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE ENGINE & TO CAR OWNERS. REPAIRS ARE A MUST.

THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS SAYING IT IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE, THAT HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT AND PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF POCKET. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A WARANTY ISSUE. IT'S NOT FAIR OR RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTION ISSUES THAT ARE FLAWED. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON WHEN IT IS LOW, SO IF I DON'T CHECK OFTEN THEN I AM IN DANGER WHEN I AM DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE, NOT TO BECOME A MECHANIC.

THE DEALER GAULT TOYOTA (2205 NORTH ST, ENDICOTT, NY 13760, (607) 748-1421) HAD PROVIDED MORE THAN 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BUT HAD NOT PROVIDED A PERMANENT REMEDY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE YET. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TSB 0158-14 AND WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A PERMANENT FIX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A FOLLOW UP RESPONSE TO DETERMINE A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2007 CAMRY LE IS BURNING ABOUT 1QT/600 OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I CHECKED IT. TOYOTA ADMITS THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND STILL NOT ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL REGULARLY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES SO THAT MY CAR DOESN'T GET STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP. FIX IS 5000-7000$, TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO FIX SINCE IT SURPASSED THE WARRANTY TIME PERIOD. I AM COMPLETELY HELPLESS. IT DRINKS OIL LIKE AND I CANT SEE ANY SIGNS ON THE GROUND.

IN 2013, I SUSPECTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION & ASKED THE MB SERVICE CENTER TO BEGIN INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WAS STILL ACTIVE. I RETURNED AFTER DRIVING 1,000-1,200 MILES & WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THERE WAS A TRUE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $800 TO OPEN THE ENGINE. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. IN EARLY 2016, I RECEIVED THE T-SB-0158-14 SERVICE BULLETIN FROM TOYOTA NOTIFYING ME THAT I COULD TAKE THE CAR IN TO HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE RESOLVED AT NO COST. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE CULVER CITY LOCATION, BUT I RETURNED 3 HOURS LATER TO FIND THAT NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE. A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE TEAM ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE THEY COULD BEGIN THE CONSUMPTION TEST. THIS IS MY FIRST ISSUE WITH TOYOTA'S SERVICE. TOYOTA SHIFTED THE RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THIS OIL LEAK FIXED ON TO ME EVEN THOUGH I MADE THEM AWARE OF AN OIL RELATED ISSUE MORE THAN 2 YEARS PRIOR. A KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE CENTER MEMBER WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND RINGS IS A DIRECTLY RELATED CAUSE OF A LEAK. BEING THAT I WAS NOT A KNOWLEDGEABLE CONSUMER AT THAT TIME, THE SERVICE CENTER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THIS RESPONSIBILITY ON TO ME. I HAD THE OIL LEAK REPAIRED AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED A 3RD TIME WHEN I CALLED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT IN NOVEMBER 2016. THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE ASKED WHAT THE REASON WAS FOR MY VISIT. I EXPLAINED THAT I WANTED TO COME BACK TO INITIATE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WAS ADVISED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE CUT OFF AND THAT THEY WERE NOT REPAIRING ANY MORE VEHICLES AFTER OCTOBER 31, 2016. THIS IS MY SECOND ISSUE WITH CULVER CITY TOYOTA'S SERVICE. THERE WAS SECONDARY COVERAGE AVAILABLE FOR ME AT THAT TIME AND I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT OPTION. MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS

MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY IS LEAKING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, THERE WAS A RECALL , BUT I DID NOT GET NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM ,UNTIL I WAS ONLINE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR, WAS REQUIRING SO MUCH OIL, I SAW A ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR MAR JACOBS IN DURHAM N.C. MAR JACOBS STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO EXCEPT TRY TO GE ME TO BUY A NEW CAR, NO THANKS , I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED, BECAUSE THIS AFFECTS MY ENGINE AND IF WANT TO SALE MY CAR THE VALUE GOES DOWN, BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I AM CONSTANTLY BUYING OIL FOR MY CAR EVERY WEEK , WHICH ADDS UP IN PRICE. I WOULD LIKE OR TOYOTA HONOR THE RECALL , ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT READING AND THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO THE COOLING COMPONENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO FUNCTION. FURTHERMORE, WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO POWER DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THEIR "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" TEST ON MY CAR IN 2016 TO SEE IF IT QUALIFIED FOR THEIR KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION COVERAGE AND REPAIR. IT DID NOT SEE THEIR CRITERIA. NOW MY CAR IS CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL NEARLY EVERY 1000 MILES AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 200,000

TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED ON 2011 IN ITS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT THE ENGINE DEFECT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE. IT REQUIRES A PISTON ASSEMBLY CHANGE TO MINIMIZE OIL CONSUMPTION HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR IT AT THEIR OWN COST, THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT REPAIR COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE DUE TO AN ARBITRARY 150,000 MILE LIMIT AND A VERY LIMITED TIME WINDOW BETWEEN 2015 TO 2016, AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON REPAIRS. THIS ALSO DIMINSHES THE VALUE OF MY CAR AND MORE IMPORTANTLY EXPOSES OUR FAMILY TO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL, AND THE ENGINE BECOMES COMPLETELY DEPLETED OF OIL AT THE TIME OF AN OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3,000 MILES) WHICH CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE IN A MOVING VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX.

TOYOTA RECALL - THE ENGINE IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND OIL TO BURN AT AN ACCESSIVE RATE. I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF THIS TO A THE PRIORITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE VEHICLE OFTEN. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH TOYOTA ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS NEVER INFORMED EVEN WHEN I CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS FALTY PARTS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THESE PARTS

STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR OVERHEATING. REPLACED WATER PUMP BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD THE CODE FOR A MISFIRE. ENDED UP BEING THE HEAD GASKET. THIS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE HAD HEAD GASKET ISSUES AND THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THE 4RUNNER HEAD GASKET.

FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OIL BURNING IN MY CAR AND HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO COMPLAINT THAT MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON WITH A FEW WEEKS OF GETTING A OIL CHANGE. I PAID NUMEROUS OF TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL OIL FOR MY CAR AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS OLDER AND THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL BURN LOTS OF OIL. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS FOR PREVIOUS RECALLS HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE ENGINE OIL BURNING RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY A RENTAL CAR REPRESENTATIVE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I CALLED PRIORITY CHEVROLET GREENBRIER TO GET THE TEST DONE SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THAT PRIORITY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF GETTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO GO TO PRIORITY TOYOTA TO HAVE IT DONE SINCE MY CAR IS A TOYOTA. NEVER ONCE HAVE A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISE ME OF THE BURNING OF OIL WITH 07 CAMRY. NOW THAT I HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, THE SERVICE REP SAYS THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY $2,200 FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE, I AM ENTITLE TO THIS REPAIR KNOWING THAT TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME AND THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOT ONE SERVICE PERSON HAS THE DECENCY TO INFORM ME OF THIS RECALL.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.4L 4 CYL, CONSUMES OIL AT A STAGGERING RATE. DUE TO THIS INCREASED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION, INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS INEVITABLY OCCUR. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS ANY TIME THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, OCCURRING EVEN MORE AT HIGH SPEEDS OF OPERATION. THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY LURCH WHEN BEING DRIVEN, CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IN THE WRONG CONDITIONS. BEFORE DRIVING FOR PROLONGED HIGH SPEEDS, I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH TO PREVENT A SEIZED ENGINE. THE RESULTS OF SUCH A PROBLEM WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEEDS. THESE INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL DANGERS CAUSED BY THE INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION OF MY CAR PROVIDE MORE THAN AMPLE JUSTIFICATION FOR AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.

MY HUSBAND WOULD CONSTANTLY CHECK AND ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY HUSBAND ASKED ME TO ASK THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD AN OIL LEAK.

I AM FILING COMPLAINT ON 2007 CAMRY BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. FROM RESEARCH ON ISSUE, I UNDERSTAND THAT SAFETY ISSUES CAN OCCUR DUE TO THE ENGINES SIEZING UP AND THE CAR CAN QUIT RUNNING WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT SURE ABOUT ENGINE CATCHING FIRE. I HAVE PERSUED DIFFERENT AVENUES WITH TOYOTA TO CORRECT ISSUE SINCE THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM FACTORY ENGINEERING. BUT TO NO AVAIL. THIS WAS ALREADY AN ISSUE AT TIME I PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 64,190 MILES. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY TSB NOR RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD CAR SERVICED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH MOTORCRAFT OIL. IT WAS NOT UNTIL 8-25-17 WHEN I WAS ASKED TO SIGN A DISCLAIMER LETTING ME KNOW OIL WAS OFF DIPSTICK. WHEN I CHECKED PREVIOUS RECORDS I FOUND OUT THE CAMRY HAD BEEN LOW ON OIL ( OFF STICK) EACH TIME SERVICED. (MY 1997 CAMRY I OWNED PRIOR TO THIS 2007 NEVER USED ANY OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND IT HAD 176,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I LET IT GO). THUS, AFTER THE 8-25-17 SERVICE AND DOING RESEARCH I BECAME AWARE OF TOYOTA'S ISSUES AND THUS BEGAN A FRUITLESS BATTLE WITH TOYOTA. IT SEEMS THAT EVEN THOUGH I BEGAN FOLLOWING UP WITH TOYOTA AS SOON AS I BECAME AWARE OF ISSUE 8-25-17 THAT MY DOFU WAS 6-27-07. DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN I JUST MISSED THE DEADLINE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT SINCE IT IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM.

THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE WHERE THE OIL IS LEAKING AND BURNING IN THE ENGINE, I DID NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATIONS. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA OF GASTONIA, THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED DUE TO THE SECOND CLAUSE OF 10 YEARS OF FIRST USE. I WAS STILL WELL WITH IN THE TIME FRAME, BUT I WAS NOT TOLD THAT WAS AN OPTION. AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

DEAR SIR/ MADAM, I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE 2009(IT IS A 2007 MODEL). IN THE JULY OF 2017 MY CAR STARTED USING MORE OIL THAN USUAL WITH FREQUENT TOP -OFFS. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (DUBLIN TOYOTA IN DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA IN JULY 2017) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR 'S ENGINE COULD BE DEFECTIVE SINCE A TOYOTA BULLETIN FOR DEFECTIVE ENGINE REPAIR HAD BEEN RELEASED FOR THAT MODEL. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS (GLADSTONE TOYOTA IN PORTLAND, OREGON) SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THAT FOR OTHER RECALL NOTICES SUCH AS THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ETC. BUT NO ONE HAD INFORMED ME OF THIS BULLETIN OR DEFECT. I'VE ALSO RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES FROM TOYOTA FOR OTHER REPAIRS FOR WHICH I PROMPTLY TOOK MY CAR TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS. BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM VIA MAIL OR EMAIL TO THIS DATE. DUBLIN TOYOTA EMPLOYEES SUGGESTED I CALL THE COMPANY TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET IF I CHOSE TO GET IT REPAIRED. I CALLED TOYOTA AND SPOKE TO A MANAGER BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP OR REPAIR THE ENGINE STATING THAT MY CAR WAS A FEW HUNDRED MILES OUT OF WARRANTY PER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. NOW, MY CAR CONSUMES OIL VERY QUICKLY AND I MUST AND HAVE TO TOP IT OFF EVERY 12-15 DAYS. IT HAS A MILEAGE OF AROUND 164000 AT PRESENT. REGARDLESS, MY POINT IS: 1) I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT BY THE COMPANY(TOYOTA) 2) THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE A MILEAGE LIMIT ON IT. I NEED THIS CAR FOR COMMUTING TO WORK AND I HAVE ALREADY BEEN AFFECTED BY THE WILDFIRES IN SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER OR CAN YOU CONNECT ME TO THE RIGHT ORGANIZATION /AGENCY/ PERSON WHO COULD HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?

/C PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE GUY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH WORK TOYOTA DID ON THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. I LOVE MY TOYOTA. THIS IS LOUSY SERVICE. I KNOW IT HAS BEEN QUITE SOME TIME SINCE ALL OF THIS WAS DONE. I JUST HAVE NOT FELT UP TO VOICING MY COMPLAINT. UNHAPPY WITH TOYOTA SERVICE AT HERRIN GEAR TOYOTA IN JACKSON, MS.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. OIL LIFT GOING ON HALF WAY NOT KNOWING IF THE ENGINE WILL BRAKE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT

THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH THE OIL IN ABOUT 2500 MILES. I HAVE TO CARRY AROUND EXTRA OIL TO REFILL IT AT A MOMENTS NOTICE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE ENGINE FREEZING UP AS I AM DRIVING.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES BASED ON A LATENT DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS. TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND SET THE OIL CONSUMPTION LEVELS AT A RIDICULOUS LEVEL (1.2 QUARTS PER 1,200 MILES) AND THEY CONTINUE TO REJECT MY REQUEST TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. FUNNY NONE OF MY OTHER 5 TOYOTA'S HAVE EVER DONE THIS!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAS A SIGNIFICANT MONETARY COST TO FIX THE ISSUE. TOYOTA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WOULDN'T PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - NOT SAFE MY FAMILY IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO THE TOYOTA BRAND AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH AN OF OUR VEHICLES IN THE PAST. I NOTICED THAT MY 2007 CAMRY SE 2.4L V4 HAD BEEN BURNING OIL EXTREMELY FAST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.AT FIRST, A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO CHANGE MY VALVE COVER GASKET AS THAT WAS WHAT HE PRESUMED TO BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. AFTER I PAID TO GET THAT REPLACED I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS STILL BURNING OIL AT AN EXTREMELY FAST RATE. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE MY PCV VALVE AND SWITCH TO A SYNTHETIC-BLEND. NOTHING AT ALL HAS HELPED WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT IS DRAINING MY POCKETS AND TIME. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DRAINING AND UNSAFE.MY CAR BURNS OVER 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE, I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE TAKEN FAIRLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR THROUGHOUT THE TIME I HAVE HAD IT WHICH IS ALMOST 10 YEARS BUT THE MILEAGE IS ONLY AT 130,000. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF BUT I HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, EVEN NEVER HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SO THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE. I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT THAT TIME AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY BELIEVED THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS APPEARING. THEY FIXED SAID PROBLEM BUT THEY REALIZED THE CAR WAS STILL DISPLAYING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO REVVING. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SO THEY COULD READ WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THAT ONE OF THE CYLINDERS WAS MISFIRING AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED A COMPLETE OVERHALL/REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN WAS $6000 FOR THE ENGINE (THIS SITE DID NOT ACCEPT THIS AMOUNT) AND ANOTHER AMOUNT WHICH I CAN'T RECALL FOR THE LABOR. I HAVE NOT YET DECIDED WHAT I WILL DO BUT WANTED TO LOOK UP ANY ENGINE RECALLS OR ISSUES OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THEIR CAMRYS AND CAME UPON THIS SITE.

THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. WHEN THE FIRST TEST RESULTS CAME OUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST AND THAT IT DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. WHEN THE FOLLOWING OIL CHANGE WAS DUE I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP JUST TO GET THE SECOND OPINION ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME I WAS REQUESTING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR MY VEHICLE. SURPRISINGLY THE RESULTS CAME OUT THE SAME WAY, THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST. AS OF RECENT, THE SITUATION HAS BECOME WORSE. I'M SUPPOSED TO TURN IN MY CAR AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 5,000 MILES PER TOYOTA STANDARDS, BUT AFTER ABOUT 700 TO 800 MILES MY ENGINE BEGINS GIVING NOISES WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, WHICH OVER TIME I CAME TO LEARN THAT THIS KIND OF NOISE IS AN INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS VERY LOW AND I NEED TO ADD MORE OIL. MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL, IT'S CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I AM CONSIDERING DOING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO ANOTHER REPUTABLE DEALERSHIP WITH NO CONNECTIONS WITH TOYOTA TO SEE HOW THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE. IN THE MEANTIME I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A HELP FROM THE NHTSA BECAUSE I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR ACTIONS. THANK YOU

TOYOTA ISSUED TSB FOR "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION". I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEIR 'TEST' (I.E., MORE THAN 1 QT OF OIL IN 1,200 MILES) AND JUST BARELY "PASSED". BUT THE PROBLEM GROWS WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW BURNS OIL EXTREMELY QUICKLY. BUT TOYOTA TOLD ME TODAY THAT SINCE THE CARE IS NOW MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD, THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME. WHY WON'T TOYOTA JUST DO A "RECALL" TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THE LACK OF OIL IN THE RESERVOIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (TOYOTA CERTIFIED AT CAPITAL PLAZA, 6100 ANNAOPLIS ROAD, LANDOVER HILLS, MD, 20784) WHERE THE OIL CAP WAS TAPED DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS INSTRUCTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 2,000-3,000 MILES BEFORE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST COULD BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN, PISTON, AND RINGS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SAME DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE ON BACKORDER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPAIR THE TIMING CHAIN. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

OIL CONSUMPTION .. IN DRIVING THE CAR IN THE CITY AND I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY MORNING THERE IS OIL CONSUMPTION AND I NEED HELP IN THIS ISSUE

BOUGHT CAR USED A YEAR AGO. HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT 74,000 MILES WITHIN TIME FRAME ALLOWED. WAS TOLD ENGINE WAS GOOD. NOW, AT 80,000 MILES OIL IS AT BOTTOM TIP OF OIL DIP STICK. I CALLED DEALER WHERE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE. WAS TOLD "WE ONLY ADDED A QUART..." AT TEST'S CONCLUSION. I WAS NOT TOLD AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST'S CONCLUSION THAT A "QUART WAS ADDED." SINCE I WAS NOT TOLD A QUART WAS ADDED, I WASN'T AWARE I HAD TO WATCH MY OIL. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY BUT I COULDN'T MAKE-OUT WHAT IT WAS. FOLLOWING DAY, UPON STARTING VEHICLE, IT FLASHED AGAIN. ANOTHER DAY AND IT STAYS ON VERY BRIEFLY BUT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIGURE THAT IT WAS THE OIL LIGHT. I LET CAR SIT ON FLAT SURFACE FOR AN HOUR, CHECKED OIL AND IT JUST TOUCHED TIP OF DIPSTICK. I ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND THE CAR BURNS OIL FAST

MY CAR LOSES OIL AT THE RATE OF A QUART AND A HALF EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR AN OBVIOUS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, BUT CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL AT THIS RATE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THREE MECHANICS NOW THAT THIS IS COMMON IN CAMRYS. IF IT IS SO COMMON, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA.

THE LOCAL DEALER AT IRA TOYOTA OF TEWKSBURY, MA.01876 - TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK OR WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE SINCE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA US AT 1-800-331-4331 THEY OPENED A CASE#1701232302 FOR MY ISSUE BUT NOW SAY THAT THE LOCAL TOYOTA AND EVEN REGIONAL STORES CANNOT TAKE MY CAR BACK TO FIX IT AGAIN THE LOCAL STORE SAYS THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE I CAME BACK AFTER 14,379 MILES I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS ALREADY STOPPED ON ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET - WITH THE STEERING WHEELING BLOCKING SUDDENLY AND FOR ME HAVING TO VEER QUICKLY ON THE CURB WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO CONTROL. I CAN HEAR A SQUEELING NOISE WHEN I CHANGE GEARS ( MANUAL CAR) AND WHEN I PUT THE FOOT ON THE CLUTCH. THE CAR SHAKES A LOT WHEN I CHANGE GEARS AND I AM ABOUT TO STOP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND OF COURSE LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES BECAUSE I CANNOT USE THIS CAR FOR MANY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING MY FAMILY OR JUST ANYWHERE PAST 10 MILES OF MY HOUSE. I AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA, AN ISSUE THAT THEY DID NOT FIX PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NOW THEY ARE JUST HOPING THAT I CAN GO AWAY BY DENYING ME MY RIGHTS TO PROPER SERVICE. I TOLD TOYOTA US THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE HOW A KNOWN ISSUE CAN BE FIXED AND JUST WITHIN 1 YEAR IT COMES BACK.

I,'M AFRAID THAT THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO WRECKING THE MOTOR AND PROBABLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY SEARCHING FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS WOULD BE A RECALL.

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. AROUND 145,000 MILES, IT STARTED BURNING OIL RAPIDLY, AROUND 1 QUART EVERY 1,500 MILES. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT, UNLESS THE ISSUE HAPPENS WITHIN 100,000 MILES, WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLE.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE WITH THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IS CONSUMING ENGINE OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TOYOTA FACTORY "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST", AND SHOWING LOW OIL ON DIPSTICK. ON LINE RESEARCH HAS INDICATED MANY OWNERS LEARNING EITHER THEIR DEALER OR TOYOTA, OR BOTH ARE HESITANT OR REFUSING TO PERFORM CORRECTIVE ACTION AT NO COST TO THE CURRENT OWNER. ON LINE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD BE FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY ALONG WITH TWO OTHER ENTITIES INVOLVED IN MONITORING TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY AND TOYOTA DEALER RESPONSE AND REMEDIAL ACTION.

AS A SINGLE PARENT, I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL REASONS. I'M JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE TIME HAS PASSED FOR ME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WARRANTY. TOYOTA KNOWING ABOUT THE ISSUE MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS CONSIDERING BUYING A NEW TOYOTA UNTIL I READ THIS. THIS MAKES ME DISTRUST TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THE UNDERHANDED WAY THEY'RE TREATING THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT AN ISSUE THEY KNEW ABOUT.

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON A NUMBER OF VEHICLES BECAUSE OF A PISTON RING DESIGN FLAW. LAST YEAR THEY TESTED MY 2007 CAMRY AND SAID IT WAS OK. ACTUALLY, IT BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL (I JUST FOUND OUT FROM CUSTOMER CARE) BUT TOYOTA SAYS IT MUST BURN 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO QUALIFY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OK. MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON LESS THAN 2000 MILES IN TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THE CAR WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT DEFINITELY HAS THE DESIGN FLAW--BUT THEY HAVE TO RUN ANOTHER TEST TO VERIFY WHAT I HAVE TOLD THEM. NOW HERE IS THE ZINGER---I HAVE ONE WEEK TO DRIVE 1100 MILES. THAT IS BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THIS RECALL ENDS THEN. SOMEHOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW, THEIR INABILITY TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME, AND THEIR UNILATERAL SETTING OF AN EXPIRATION DATE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FAIR OR REASONABLE. PERHAPS THEY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OR EXTEND THE FINAL DATE FOR ME? I CANNOT DRIVE 1100 MILES THIS WEEK. I WOULD IF MY SCHEDULE ALLOWED IT.

AFTER 1200 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA FOR SECOND PART OF THEIR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND WAS TOLD IT DIDN'T USE ANY OIL. AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR UP FROM MY TRUSTED MECHANIC (WHO SAID 2/3 OF TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDED REPAIRS TOTALING OVER $1600 WERE NOT TRUE), I WAS TOLD HE HAD TO ADD OIL B/C IT WAS LOW. THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TOYOTA LYING TO CUSTOMERS SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO INCUR COSTS OR ISSUE A VALID RECALL. THEY CLAIM BURNING OIL IS "NORMAL", AND ONLY IF THEIR "TEST" PROVES SO, THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS - THEY ARE LYING ABOUT THESE TEST RESULTS TO AVOID HAVING TO DO THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

THE ENGINE IS EATING ABOUT 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 145,000 MILES. CAR WAS CHECKED BY 2 MECHANICS AND NO OIL LEAK WAS DETECTED.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS BURNING OIL AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ADDING OIL, I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AFTER I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON THE MAIL ABOUT MY CAR HAVING A WARRANTY PROBLEM, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND I TOOK IT BACK AFTER 1200 MILES AND ACCORDING TO THEM THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, THIS STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

2007 CAMRY CE, PROBLEM STARTED WITH CAR HAVING 75K MILES. CAR NOW HAS 102K MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION IS INCREASING. NOW CONSUMING 1-2 QUARTS EVERY OTHER WEEK. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS ANY WHERE. NO LEAKS UNDERNEATH ENGINE, ON TOP OF ENGINE, AND ANY WHERE VISIBLE OR AT ALL. NO OIL LEAKS! BUT OIL IS REQUIRED REGARDLESS EVERY OTHER WEEK! CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN OIL IS CHECKED. CAUSE OF PROBLEM (I AM TOLD BY DEALERSHIP MECHANICS THAT OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY "BAD" RINGS IN THE ENGINE). THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAY THEY SEE THAT PROBLEM OFTEN WITH THE YEAR, MODEL, AND MAKE OF CAR. NO PAPERWORK PROVIDED.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ODOMETER AN TACHOMETER STOP WORKING OR GO UP AND DOWN WILDLY AT THE SAME TIME THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT AIR. ALSO EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL 1 TO 2 QUARTS PER 1000 MILES.

Mileage: 14,716

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAR HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I TOOK IT TO PERRYVILLE TIRE TO HAVE OIL CHECKED--WAS TOLD I HAD NONE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT PASSED AFTER THEY ADDED 1 QUART OF OIL AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS--I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NONE BURNED OIL AT THIS RATE. NORMAL--BAH, HUMBUG. I DO HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERS UP TO 100,000 MILES. I DO BELIEVE TOYOTA IS TRYING TO RUN OUT THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE A THUMPING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY LOW AND THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

1) FRONT HEADLAMPS BURN WEAK AND PLASTIC LENS COVERS YELLOWED OVER TIME, LATTER PROBLEM OF WHICH IS THAT LENSES CAN'T BE CLEANED BY EITHER COMMERCIAL AUTO SOLVENTS OR BY LOCAL MECHANIC, CREATING SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. PRICE QUOTED FOR PARTS ALONE VIA TOYOTA IS $818 FOR HEADLAMP SET, PLUS LABOR. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER CAMRY MODELS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE WITH HEADLAMP OBFUSCATION DUE TO LENS MATERIAL OR BULB COMPOSITION. THIS VEHICLE'S HEADLAMP LENS COMPOSITION IS FILMY TO CLOUDY TO NAKED EYE IN DAYLIGHT, NOT NEARLY CRYSTAL CLEAR AS WHEN NEW.. EVEN IF BULBS WERE REPLACED THE LENS WOULD OBSCURE RADIUS AND LENGTH OF HEADLAMP FOR ANY NIGHT DISTANCE DRIVING OTHER THAN HEAVILY LIT STREETS. MUST USE HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT WHEN POSSIBLE AND WHEN NOT HAZARD TO ONCOMING DRIVERS. EVEN HIGH BEAM DISTANCE DULL. NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND OTHER CARS ILLUMINATE THEIR OWN PATHWAY FAR BETTER THAN MY OWN. NIGHT TIME DRIVING ON RURAL, SEMI-RURAL, COUNTY, SUBURBAN OR UNLIGHTED STATE AND LOCAL HIGHWAYS IN PARTICULAR ARE A HAZARD. 2) ENGINE HAS REGULARLY BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES SINCE CAR HAD CLOCKED 60K MILES. UNDERWENT OIL TEST UNDER EXTENDED RECALL BULLETIN VIA TOYOTA AND IT DEEMED CAR WITHIN SPECS (TIME OF YEAR AND TYPE OF OIL CAN VARY AMOUNT OF OIL BURNED BUT RECOMMENDED 5W20 RESULTS IN 2-3 QUARTS A MONTH BURNED OFF, NO LEAKS, 75% HIGHWAY DRIVING.). BIGGER ISSUE IS OIL CAN GET DANGEROUSLY LOW (AT LEAST QUARTER INCH BELOW DIPSTICK LOW LEVEL) AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. OIL LEVELS MUST BE CHECKED MANUALLY AT LEAST WEEKLY AND/OR AT FILL-UP TO ENSURE OIL TANK HAS ENOUGH OIL. GENERALLY HAVE BEEN ADDING 2 TO 3 QUARTS A MONTH. DESPITE TECH BULLETIN RECOMMENDATIONS, TOYOTA SAYS I AM INELIGIBLE FOR MECHANICAL REMEDIATION. CAR CURRENTLY RUNS AND HAS 160K MILES +/- ON IT. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE FOR 60K MILEAGE..

WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHECK BECAUSE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON / MY MECHANIC CHECK THE OIL STICK THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR AT ALL. SO HE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO OIL LEAK THERE WAS NONE. THAT IS WHEN WE WENT TO THE WEB SITE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OIL COMPLICATION PROBLEM. TOUCH MY CAR TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. THEY HAD ME DRIVE IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL I REACHED THE MILEAGE THEY NEEDED FOR ME TO GET IT TESTED AGAIN TOOK IT BACK ON 7/23/16 IT PASSED THE TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOOD AND THAT IT WAS ONLY LOSSING A QUART OF OIL . THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT PASSED THE TEST. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT I NEED TO HAVE REPAIRED BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ANOTHER CAR. WITH ME DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON WAS MY SIGN TO STOP AND HAVE IT CHECKED. IF I WOULD HAVE NOT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE BLOWNED. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO NOW TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO FIX MY CAR ASAP.THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE SIX MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD A BACKLOG OF CARS THAT ARE WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THIS WAS BEFORE THEY LET ME KNOW IT HAD PASSED THE TEST. BRAD BENNICK OF SCOTT CLARK TOYATO TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE MY CAR ANOTHER 200,00 MORE MILES WITH THIS OIL PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE A OIL LEAKE THERE'S KNOW WAY YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THAT PROBLEM. SO I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME IN THIS MATTER. SCOTT CLARKS IS A PLACE I THOUGHT CARED ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS BUT I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM OR TELLING ANYONE TO PURCHASE A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? THIS HAPPEN ON 6/11/16 AND TOOK MY CAR IN ON 6/13/16 FOR THE FIRST OIL TEST.

MY VEHICLE NOT ONLY GOT AN EXTREMELY STICKY DASHBOARD BUT IT ALSO STARTED BURNING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAD EVERY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS I RECEIVED IT AT & ALSO KEPT UP WITH ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC SHOP. I HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS & WITNESSES. THE END OF 2015 MY CAR STARTED BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC & HE WAS ADDING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES STATING IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY ALSO WENT WITH A THICKER OIL TO TRY TO FIX IT.I WAS ALSO ADDING OIL WHENEVER IT STARTED GETTING LOW. WELL MY CAR OVERHEATED & CRACKED MY HEAD GASKET. AFTER GOING ONTO TOYOTAS WEBSITE & TYPING MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT STATES THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE CAMPAIGNS. I STARTED SAVING MONEY UP TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED SO IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS. AFTER REALIZING I COULDN'T POSSIBLY AFFORD IT, I WENT ONLINE TO GET BLUE BOOK VALUES TO SELL IT.I FOUND OUT THERE WERE 2 TSBS COVERING MY DASHBOARD & MY ENGINE BURNING OIL. THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING WAS MAILED TO ME EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANYTHING I WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY.AFTER CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY WHO HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA, HE STATED TO ME THAT NOTHING WAS MAILED OUT TO CUSTOMERS. AFTER CONTACTING 2 TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS & TOYOTA SERVICE, THEY BOTH RAN MY VIN # & IT SHOWS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR BOTH PROBLEMS.CUSTOMERS DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS UNLESS THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.TOYOTA SERVICE STATED TO ME THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD REPLACE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY ENGINE IS IF AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS RUN, WELL MY ENGINE IS BURNED UP.IF MY CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC & I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS PROVING ALL OF MY RECALLS & MAINTENANCE WAS DONE, THEY SHOULD HONOR THAT.THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS STATING THE SAME THINGS.

I ADHERED TO THE RECALL ZE7 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NOTICE ISSUED BY TOYOTA. OVER THE NEXT 6MONTHS WATER/COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE THROUGH WHAT I LEARNED COULD HAVE BEEN A FAULTY ENGINE HEAD GASKET. MY 2007 CAMRY HAD NEVER RUN HOT BEFORE TOYOTA TOOK MY ENGINE APART AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT THEIR ERROR. THE OIL DIP STICK SHOWED SIGNS OF WATER OIL MIXTURE. LATER IT WAS LIKE MILK. THIS IS WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FROM OVER HEATING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SINCE APRIL 2016 TO RESOLVED THIS. GOT THE RUN AROUND. SOME TECHNICIAN WAS SCHEDULED TO REVIEW THIS IN APRIL AND MAY 2016 BUT HAS NOT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

MY FATHER-IN-LAW IS A AUTO MECHANIC. HE CHANGES THE OIL IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EVERY 2500-3500 MILES. THIS IS WELL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED 5,000 MILE SERVICE REMINDER LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR ALWAYS BURNED OIL BUT OVER THE LAST YEAR HE HAS NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS BURNING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE OIL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA IN RAYNHAM MA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH 147,212 MILES FOR THE TEST AND A OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK BETWEEN 148,212 - 148,512 MILES. I NOTICED THAT AFTER I ORIGINAL BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE THE TEST, THE CAR WOULD IDLES AT 800 RPM WHEN STOPPED, AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND TEST THE CAR IDLE AT 500-600 RPM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA FOR PHASE II OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH 148,290 MILES. THE SERVICED ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR PASSED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WAS ONLY DOWN 1/2 A QUART OF OIL. THE CAR BURNS MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT IT DOESN'T. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS BACK TO IDLING AT 800 RPM WHEN STOPPED.

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH ENGINE OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL, I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, THE FIRST ONE DENIED FIXING MY VEHICLE DUE TO A FEMALE SUPERVISOR SAYING THAT THEY WONT FIX A SALVAGED CAR, SHE THEN ALERTED THE SURROUNDING DEALERSHIP'S TELLING THEM NOT TO FIX MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE IN SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA, I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO REDLANDS CALIFORNIA TO SEE IF THAT DEALERSHIP COULD FIX MY CAR AND THEY SAID THAT IT SHOWED IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT MY CAR SHOULDN'T BE FIXED.

CAR IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHECK AND FILL THE OIL. ITS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I AM HAVING TO CHECK AND FILL WITH OIL ONCE A WEEK. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS????

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN FEBRUARY 2016 TOYOTA TOOK POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3-4 WEEKS TO REPAIR OR REBUILD THE ENGINE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. I WAS PROVIDED A LOANER CAR DURING THAT PERIOD. DURING THE LESS THAN 2 MONTH PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 2/18/16 AND APRIL 10, 2016, I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO ANY REPAIR SHOP NOR DID I TOUCH THE ENGINE FOR ANY REASON. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DID NOT PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. ON 4/10/16, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE ENGINE SELF-DESTRUCTED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, SMOKE ENGULFED THE ENGINE AND THEN IT CEASED RUNNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. ON 4/11/16, I CALLED TOYOTA FOR WARRANTY PAYMENT TO BE MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THE ENGINE COULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT FIRST I HAD TO PAY FOR THE $5,800 WORK TO BE DONE AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD REIMBURSE ME ONCE I SHOWED THAT I HAD ALL MY SERVICE RECEIPTS THAT I HAD PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS POSITION FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS RELEASED TO ME AFTER TOYOTA THOROUGHLY WORKED ON IT FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND INSPECTED IT BEFORE RELEASING THE CAR TO ME ON 2/18/16. WHAT POSSIBLE MAINTENANCE WOULD I HAVE DONE IN UNDER TWO (2) MONTHS. I AM ALSO A LOW INCOME WAGE EARNER AND TO REQUIRE ME TO FUND $5,800 AND WAIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS UNDULY BURDENSOME. COUPLE WITH THE FACT THAT THE TOYOTA OF PRINCETON INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE GIVEN A COMPLIMENTARY LOANER CAR DURING THE REPAIR PERIOD. THE COST OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND ADVANCING $5,800 WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND A CLEVER WAY FOR TOYOTA TO AVOID THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE WARRANTY. INSTEAD, I SAW NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO ACCEPT THE OFFER OF PRINCETON TOYOTA TO GIVE ME $2000 CREDIT TOWARD THE PRICE OF A USED CAR.

MY CAMRY HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ONCE AGAIN IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON OIL BURNING UP BUT THEY CHECKED LAST TIME AND SAID IT'S OKAY. EVIDENTLY IT'S NOT. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE WHICH COSTS FROM $750-$1,200 WHICH IS HARD TO AFFORD. THIS KIND OF ISSUE CAN COST YOUR LIFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRST STICKY DASH BOARD .. WAS TOLD I'M BEING PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR PART. IT'S BEEN MONTHS STILL NO WORD. 2ND OIL CONSUMPTION IS RIDICULOUS. . OIL RUNS OUT WAY BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR OIL CHANGE EVERY TIME .. NO OIL LEAKS ANYWHERE .. CAR JUST BURNS OIL SUPER FAST NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY CAR I'VE OWNED ..3RD THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN IN YOU HIT AROUND 40 MPH AT 1.5 RPM DOESNT DO IT AS MUCH WHEN CAR DOESNT GO IN OVERDRIVE IN 4TH GEAR .. WAS TOLD THIS MAY BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMING ISSUE .. 4TH MY DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT MAT IS MELTED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR MAY BE GETTING TO HOT. NEVER GOT ANY REAL ANSWERS TO MY CONCERNS .

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CARS OIL CONSUMPTION AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN MAY 2015 FOR ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION REPAIR. THE SHOP IS NOW TELLING ME I HAVE A BLOWN PISTON FROM WHAT THEY CAN HEAR. I HAVE RECORDS THAT I NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE AND EVEN HAVE PROOF FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE CARE WHEN MY CAR WAS CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS. THERE WERE NONE FOUND. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO LATE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I ALSO SENT TOYOTA PROOF OF MY OIL CHANGES FROM FIRESTONE DATED 12/13/14, 4/11/15, 6/29/15, 8/22/15, 10/08/15, 11/14/15 AND 1/3/16. MY CAR WAS TOWED INTO COMMUNITY TOYOTA ON 3/23/16.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT HESITATES TO SWITCH GEARS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. AS YOU ACCELERATE. AT TIMES THERE IS A JERK AS IT IS DOING SO. THIS CAUSES ME TO EITHER SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP UNTIL IT GOES INTO GEAR.

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE WHOLE DASHBOARD READERS; THE SPEEDOMETER, RPM, ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND OTHER GAUGES JUMP AND FLICKER, THE LIGHT MARKERS FOR TRANSMISSION GEAR AND PARKING GO OFF. THE AC UNIT ALSO DID NOT WORK. I WENT TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT THERE WERE NO CODES TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AGAIN WHEN IT HAPPENS FOR LONGER THAN A DAY. IT KEEPS HAPPENING AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY (MORNING AND EVENING), WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING, AND ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AT A STOP LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I AM TURNING). I HAVE NOTICED THAT TOYOTA HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID. GIVEN THE SHEER NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE REGULAR CAMRY 2007, IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE USES THREE QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5,000 MILE SERVICE. TWO OIL CONSUMPTIONS TESTS WERE DONE. TOYOTA STATED NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WARRANTY. ....UPDATED 11/18/15 *BF ON MY THIRD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR, IT HAD A POSITIVE RESULT. TOYOTA IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT QUALIFIES. MAINLY BECAUSE IT USES 4 QUARTS OF OIL NOW BETWEEN CHANGES EVERY 5000 MILES NOW. THANKS JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS NOW. UPDATED 02/29/16. *JB

I AM CONCERNED WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD TWO TEST OUTCOME FAILED I HAVE STATED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN DEC 2006 THAT CAR USED OIL. I THINK THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE NUMEROUS QUARTS OF OIL THAT HAVE BEEN WASTED DUE TO A FLAW IN THIS ENGINE TYPE. THE TIME TO REPAIR IS WAY TOO LONG. ON AVERAGE I HAVE TO ADD A QUART A WEEK THAT'S A LOT OF OIL SINCE 2007. THE PEOPLE AT TOYOTA NEED TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.

MY CAR WAS BURNING MORE THAN 5 QUARTS IN LESS THAN 3K MILES BUT AFTER LONG TIME FINALLY TOYOTA HAS FIXED THE ISSUE. BUT THIS WAS HAPPENING FOR ME FROM 45K MILES ON MY CAR AROUND 2009 UNTIL NOW. MEAN WHILE SINCE THE ENGINE WAS BURNING WHICH CAUSED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BLOW OFF. THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TOO BECAUSE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE OIL BURNING IN THE COMBUSTION CAMBER. FEW YEARS BACK THEY FIXED MY POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT LAST 12- 18 MONTHS I AM EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE SOME TIMES THE WINDOW OPENS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT MOST OF THE TIME PASSENGER WOULD TRY TO OPEN BUT IT WONT OPEN. I BELIEVE ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH MAY HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THEY FIXED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IF ANY ACCIDENT HAPPENS THEN THE PASSENGER WONT BE ABLE TO GET OUT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS ITS AN SAFETY ISSUE.

ON 3/4/15 I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT CONRAD'S. ON 3/11/15 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO TOYOTA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AT THIS TIME THEY ASKED WHEN MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS AND I STATED 3/4/15. THEY SAID THEY TYPICALLY LIKE TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE TEST BUT THAT OIL CHANGE WAS RECENT ENOUGH TO USE. WHEN THEY CHECKED MY OIL THEY SAID MY CAR ARRIVED WITH NO OIL READING ON THE DIPSTICK AND THAT IT WAS MORE THAN ONE QUART LOW ON OIL. I EXPLAINED HOW COULD THAT BE I HAVE NO OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY OR ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO DO AN OIL CHANGE OR THEY COULDN'T DO THE TEST. I CALLED CONRAD'S THEY STATED THAT IS NOT TRUE AND IT'S THERE WORD AGAINST TOYOTA. I HAD TOYOTA PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AND THEY ALSO SEALED THE ENGINE OFF FOR THE TEST. ON 4/22/15 I RETURNED AS I HAD REACHED 1200 MILES SINCE THE START OF THE TEST. AT THAT POINT THEY STATED MY CAR PASSED AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS GOOD. IN JUNE I WAS HEADED OUT OF TOWN AND THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT POINT WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL. NOW IT IS 8-5-15 AND MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING. WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL BUT IT'S TOO LATE. THE NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP. CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I COULD BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I WILL HAVE TO TOW IT UP THERE AS I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DRIVABLE. NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS 9-7-15 OR 92481 MILES. CURRENT MILAGE 94014. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS IT PASSED THE TEST.

MY CAR STARTED USING OIL AT 115,000-123,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 MONTHS AGO AND TOYOTA PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. MY CAR USED 1.6 QUARTS OF OIL DURING THAT TIME, IT DID NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS WHEN THEY PERFORMED THIS TEST. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL. USING THE MUCH OIL IS NOT NORMAL AND IT WAS NOT USING OIL BEFORE THE 115,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL THAT IF I WANTED THE VALVE SEALS REPAIRED IT WOULD BE UNDER MY EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2007 CAMRY AND THE INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SOME WERE WORSE THAN MINE. TOYOTA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT AND FIX IT.

LOSING ENGINE OIL AFTER 1000 MILES . HAVE TO BE A ENGINE FAULT .

I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A SEVERE OIL LOSS IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 97000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS COMPLETED TIMELY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND NEVER HAVE HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. THE FIRESTONE DEALER WHERE I HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED DETERMINED I HAD A SEVERE OIL LOSS AND CAN'T LOCATE WHERE MY OIL LEAK IS ORIGINATING FROM. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. IN ADDITION THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN SPRING 2014 FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS.

ENGINE COILS KEEP GOING BAD HAD IT REPLACED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER AND CONTINUES TO FAIL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION IT WOULD ONLY REACH 30 MPH, AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THAT INCIDENT NOT TO MENTION IT CONTINUES HAPPEN. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT NOR ANY HARM TO MY CHILDREN. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT IS LOCKED, AND UNABLE TO USE. I HAD MY POWER WINDOW ALSO FAILED TO WORK ON SOME OCCASIONS I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT UP. I SO LOVE MY TOYOTA BUT THERE ARE ALSO 8 OTHER RECALL TO WHICH I CAN ALSO RELATE TO.

MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING UP OIL SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT IN 2006. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RESEARCHING THIS EXCESSIVE OIL PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NO LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT IT, BUT I SEE THAT THE TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE GOTTEN A BULLETIN ABOUT THIS. WHEN I ACTUALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND I DECIDED TO CHECK MY FLUID LEVELS. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON TO MAKE ME AWARE THAT MY CAR IS LOW ON OIL. THEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK TO SEE THAT IT IS DRY!!! MY CAR NOW HAS 154,000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. I HAVE HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVER 400 MILES. THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME SINCE I BUY OIL CONSTANTLY AND CHECK MY DIPSTICK EVERY OTHER DAY. I JUST RECENTLY CALLED A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED A COPY OF ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM EVERY OIL CHANGE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. ALSO I HAVE MADE DIFFERENT DEALERS AWARE OF MY PROBLEM AND I HAVE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE TOYOTA CORP. NOW THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD?!? I HAVE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE MY CAT AND 4 MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT IS READING THE SAME CAT CODE WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED. I AM WONDERING IF THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING IS ACTUALLY CLOGGING MY CATS.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING IF IT IS ON UNLEVEL GROUND. I ASSUMED IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE GAS I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE. IF MY CAR IS PARKED ON UNLEVEL GROUND, I NOW HAVE TO PLACE THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR TO A LEVEL GROUND IN ORDER FOR IT TO START. I RECENTLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT HAD TO BE A SENSOR IN THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING MY CAR TO RESPOND IN ONE OF TWO WAYS: 1) THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK OR 2) THE ANTITHEFT SENSOR WAS ON AND THE CAR DOESN'T START IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STOLEN. I HAD A FULL TANK AT THE TIME SO OPTION 1 WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, AND AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP I HEARD A WARNING DING, LOOKED DOWN, AND MY DASHBOARD READ "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE." I FOUND THAT WARNING ODD CONSIDERING I HAVE ONLY PUT 2,000 MILES ON MY CAR SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE, I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY OIL LEAKS IN MY PARKING SPOT OR UNDER MY CAR, AND I HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED FOUR WEEKS AGO AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF ANY LEAKS BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. I PULL INTO THE WALMART PARKING LOT CLOSE BY, CHECK MY OIL, AND OIL LEVELS ARE NOT REGISTERING ON MY DIPSTICK. I QUICKLY BOUGHT 2 QUARTS OF THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED WEIGHT OF OIL, PUT THEM IN, AND WENT DIRECTLY TO MY SERVICE STATION. THE SERVICE STATION TOOK ME IN IMMEDIATELY, COMPLETED THEIR INSPECTION, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY LEAKS ANYWHERE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE NO BAD SMELLS, NO SMOKE, NO SIGNS OF OIL BURNING, NOTHING. THEY RECOMMENDED AN OIL CHANGE, WHICH I DID. THE SERVICE STATION GAVE ME A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY 2 MONTHS AND 2,000 MILES SINCE I WAS LAST THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT I KEEP A CASE OF OIL IN MY TRUNK, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL ONCE A WEEK, AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED. I THINK THIS IS A LOT OF OIL CONSUMPTION, AND A LOT OF WORK FOR SUCH A YOUNG VEHICLE. MY CAR IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 4 CYLINDER WITH 79,004 MILES AS OF 21 APRIL 2015. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BURNED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. RECENTLY RECEIVED A TSB FROM TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE AND AS INSTRUCTED, TOOK IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN FROM THEIR STAFF THAT TOYOTA WAS CONSIDERING REPLACING MY ENGINE IF IT DID INDEED BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I MEAN COME ON---THE CAR HAS 180K MILES ON IT. NEVER THE LESS, I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE IDEA. THEY "SEALED" THE OIL CAP SO NO ONE COULD TAMPER WITH THE OIL LEVEL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TOPPED OFF THE OIL LEVEL. I PUT ANOTHER 1200 MILES ON IT AND RETURNED THE CAR AS INSTRUCTED, TO ALLOW THEM TO "PERFORM A DETAILED TEST TO DETERMINE IF THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK THE MORNING I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA. IT WAS A FULL QUART LOW ON OIL. INTERESTING, BUT TOYOTA PERFORMED THEIR TEST AND ADVISED THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. DID NOT HAPPEN. A MONTH LATER I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THE CA HAD BURNED 7/8 OF A QUART AND AS IT WAS LESS THAN A QUART, I WAS BASICALLY SOL. ALL SAID AND DONE, I WAS NOT EXPECTING A NEW ENGINE. I WAS EXPECTING TO LEAVE FEELING I HAD BEEN TREATED FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. THE NET RESULT IS THAT I HAVE MADE TWO TOTALLY UNNECESSARY TRIPS TO THE DEALER JUST TO BE INFORMED TOYOTA DOES NOT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING....BECAUSET THEIR TEST INDICATED THE CAR FAILED TO MEET THEIR CRITERIA BY 1/8 OF A QUART. GEE...IT WAS AQUART LOW WHEN I TOOK IT IN, BUT WAIT...(I MUST BE AN IDIOT AND BLIND. YOU.THINK THEY PULLED THE DIPSTICK OUT AND KEPT LOOKING AT IT UNTIL THEY SAW WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE?? I HAD BEEN CONSIDERING PURCHASING ANOTHER TOYOTA PRODUCT BUT THIS EXPERIENCE HAS DEMONSTRATED TO ME WHY I SHOULD NEVER CONSIDER TOYOTA.

DROP KIDS OFF AT HOME WAITED 15 MINUTES AND STARTED VEHICLE, ABS LIGHT WAS OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE REMAINED ON, BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN, THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS ALLOWING TOO MUCH AIR INTO SYSTEM WHICH IN RETURN SIGNALS FOR MORE FUEL TO BE PUMPED TO COMPENSATE VACUUM LEAK. BRAKE BOOSTER NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND VERY COSTLY 1,363.16 PARTS, LABOR AND TAXES, NOT COUNTING THE 4 DAY RENTAL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, IF IT WERE MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAMRY WITH MY KIDS SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TOYOTA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS.

IN EARLY 2014 OUR 2007 CAMRY 4-CYLINDER WAS GETTING A GENERAL LOOK OVER. IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS BARELY ANY OIL TOUCHING THE TIP OF THE DIP STICK. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT THE DIP STICK WAS SHOWING A TINY AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE TIP OF THE STICK AND THAT IT SURELY HAD NO OIL. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT WHEN IT WAS DRAINED IT DID HAVE SOME OIL REMAINING. IT ALMOST SEEMS THAT THE DIPSTICK DOES NOT PROPERLY MEASURE THE OIL. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A GROWING ISSUE INVOLVING OIL CONSUMPTION ON THESE ENGINES ACROSS NUMEROUS MODELS. IT ALSO SEEMS BIZARRE THAT THEY STATE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WHAT TOYOTA CONSIDERS NORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: 1 QUART PER 1,200 MILES. IF THE CAR ONLY HOLDS SLIGHTLY OVER 4 LITERS AND THE SERVICE INTERVALS ARE 5,000 MILES IT SEEMS PRETTY OFF THAT THEY WOULD CALL THAT NORMAL.

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LIGHT BLUE TINT TO THE EXHAUST WHEN THE CAR STARTS AND WHEN I DRIVE BEHIND IT GOING UP A HILL.

AFTER A TOTAL OF 3 MECHANICAL OPINIONS, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS GUARANTEED A ONE YEAR/12000 MILE WARRANTY FROM THE DEALER AND THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN OR OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE NOT FIXED MAY FAIL.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.4L 2AZ-FE BURNS THROUGH OIL AT AN UNUSUAL RATE. SO UNUSUAL THAT I'M FORCED TO KEEP A KEEN EYE ON IT EVERY FEW WEEKS. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I BOUGHT THE CAR 'CERTIFIED' FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND AFTER MONTH OF DRIVING IT, I NOTICED THE OIL BEING LOWER THAN I EXPECTED (MY NORMAL DUE DILIGENCE OF UPKEEP). WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY DEALER, THEY SAID IT 'WAS NORMAL' TO BURN THROUGH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OIL. AT THE TIME I WAS NOT 'BURNING ENOUGH' OIL TO DEEM IT AN ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM WAS ALSO A COUPLE HOURS AWAY SO GOING THERE OFTEN WAS NOT AN OPTION.

I BEGAN NOTICING DURING MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE AT 3000-5000 MILES, THAT CLOSER TO REQUIRED OIL CHANGE MY OIL LIGHT WOULD ENGAGE DURING BRAKING. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT FIRST, BUT BEGAN NOTICING IT AT A CONSISTENT RATE. WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT 90,000 MILES THE SERVICE PERSON INDICATED I ONLY HAD ABOUT 1 1/2 QUARTS REMOVED FROM THE CAR. I THOUGHT I HAD AN OIL LEAK OF SOME SORT, BUT I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT DISCHARGE FROM MY OIL PAN, OIL FILTER AND SO FORTH IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT TO MY SON WHO IS A MECHANIC, AND HE SAID HE SAW LITTLE SIGN OF ANY LEAKAGE, AND I MUST BE BURNING IT. SO HE SUGGESTED I GET ONLINE, AND LOOK FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND NOW I SEE 2007 IS A POPULAR YEAR FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO BRING IT TO A DEALERS ATTENTION, AND SEE NO RE-CALL OR MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM ADVERTISED BY TOYOTA. *TR

ON DECEMBER 29, 2012 THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE 4 FRONT STRUTS. FEBRUARY 2014 TOOK THE CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE 85 THOUSAND MILES. TOLD THAT MY CARD DID NOT HAVE MUCH OIL, OF COURSE I BLAMED THEM, I THOUGHT THEY WERE LYING. BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE MY OIL CHANGE EVERY 5 THOUSAND MILES, SO I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THEIR RECORDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED ANOTHER MECHANIC, THE CAR HAS NO OIL LEAK. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED ANOTHER MECHANIC, THE CAR HAS NO OIL LEAK.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY STARTED PRODUCING SOME WHITISH SMOKE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. MORE RECENTLY, THE ENGINE BEGAN SOUNDING NOISY WHEN ACCELERATING - MORE OF A RATTLE OR CLACKING THAN A KNOCKING SOUND. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC DIDN'T SEE ANY LEAKS, BUT MENTIONED THAT IT COULD BE ENGINE COMPONENTS THAT WERE MACHINED PROPERLY AND STARTED TO SHOW AS THE CAR GOT MORE MILEAGE. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AT 70MPH, MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND THE ENGINE WAS SOUNDING WORSE AND WORSE. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY JUST BEFORE THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND DIED OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING AND CLANGING IN THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR THEN DIED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY CAR HAD THROWN A ROD AND IT SHREDDED THE MOTOR. MY OPTIONS WERE: 1) REBUILD THE MOTOR FROM DEALER PARTS - $8-9K! 2) HAVE A REBUILT MOTOR INSTALLED - $6-7K! 3) HAVE A SALVAGED MOTOR INSTALLED - $5-6K! OPTIONS 1 AND 2 DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE AS THAT WOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO THE CURRENT BLUE BOOK VALUE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND MANAGED TO GET OPTION 3 DONE FOR $4500. STILL A LOT MORE THAN I WAS HOPING OR NEEDING TO SPEND. BOTH MECHANICS MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD SEEN A NUMBER OF 07 CAMRYS WITH MOTOR PROBLEMS, INCLUDING ONE VERY RECENTLY THAT WAS THE SAME AS MY DAMAGE. THE SALVAGED MOTOR I HAD INSTALLED WAS AT 59K MILES AND I'M REALLY HOPING THAT I DON'T HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED FOR THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA CARS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT TWO AREA TOYOTA DEALERS SINCE PURCHASED. MAINTENANCE INTERVALS WERE CLOSELY ADHERED TO, AND NO PROBLEMS WERE EVER REPORTED BY THE SERVICE PEOPLE REGARDING ENGINE PERFORMANCE OR OIL CONSUMPTION. DURING A DECEMBER 2013 VEHICLE SERVICE AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP, SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE OIL PAN SEAL AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL LEAKAGE. I (OWNER) INSPECT VEHICLE FREQUENTLY, AND KNEW THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. BETWEEN VEHICLE SERVICING DATES, I CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT TO BE TOO LOW TO REGISTER ON THE OIL DIPSTICK. I ADDED THE GRADE OF OIL INDICATED ON THE OIL FILL CAP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED AUTO SHOP. I ALSO INSPECTED THE ENGINE FREQUENTLY FOR LEAKAGE AT THE OIL PAN AND VALVE COVER, AND OBSERVED NO OIL LEAKS.THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND FOUND NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED SHOP PERFORMED THE ROUTINE SERVICE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGE, AND PROVIDED THE TOYOTA 2011 SERVICE BULLETIN THAT DESCRIBED THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND TOYOTA'S OWN SUGGESTED REPAIR. THIS LEAD ME TO RESEARCH THE ENGINE, AND I FOUND THAT THIS IS LIKELY A SIGNIFICANT AND WIDESPREAD DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IDENTIFIED AS EARLY AS 2008. AS A COMMUTER, I FEAR THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE ENGINE WEAR, RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH MILES OF 127,000 THAT IS BURNING OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES DRIVEN ON IT. THE CAR IS TAKEN CARE OF OIL IS CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. IT DOES NOT LEAK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ON THIS MATTER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED 3 OTHER TOYOTA'S AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON ANY OF THEM. IF TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHY IS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN JULY 2006, NEW. AT APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES, WHEN TURNING CORNERS MY ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS STALLING, THE ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK, AND A "LOW ENGINE FUEL" WARNING CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AT LEAST 7 TIMES SINCE AND EACH TIME I WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, AND THEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN THESE INCIDENTS FIRST OCCURRED. I'M NOW AT 108K MILES. FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS, THE "LOW ENGINE FUEL" WARNING DISPLAYED BRIEFLY. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY ASSURED ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND MY CAR HAD 2K MORE MILES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY CAR. THEN ON SUNDAY, JUNE 25TH I DECIDED TO HAVE AUTO ZONE TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR. TO MY UTTER SURPRISE, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL ON THE STICK WHEN THE AUTO ZONE GUY CHECKED MY OIL LEVELS. I PURCHASED TWO QUARTS OF OIL AND THE AUTO ZONE GUY PUT THE OIL IN MY CAR. THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY I TOOK MY CAR TO MY USUAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED MY EXPERIENCE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT MY PISTON IS PROBABLY WORN OUT AND OIL IS PROBABLY LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE, WHICH WOULD BE A $4K REPAIR COST. AS I STATED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AT ANY MOMENT MY CAR CAN CONK OUT WHILE DRIVING, BECAUSE OIL IS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND THE ONLY TIME A WARNING APPEARS IS WHEN I TURN CORNERS. IF I'M DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHERE SPEEDS ARE IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH, AND MY CAR CONKS OUT BECAUSE OIL IS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE, THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO OVERHEARD OUR CONVERSATION STATED, "YEAH, THE ENGINES ON THOSE CARS ARE A PIECE OF JUNK." TOYOTA REFUSES FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

OUR FOUR-CYLINDER CAMRY LE WITH 141,000 ON THE ODOMETER WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH "LOW-END BEARING NOISE," MEANING THE ENGINE HAS SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER A VERY "HARD START" THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE HAD NO OIL IN IT. A VERY DISTURBING SOUND. WE HAVE RUN THIS CAR ON SYNTHETIC OIL (AND TOP-RATED OIL FILTERS) SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, AND ALMOST ALL THE 141,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ARE HIGHWAY MILES IN THE MID-ATLANTIC. I MAINTAINED THE FLUID LEVELS WITHOUT FAIL, EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN CONSUMING INORDINATE AMOUNTS OF OIL--A FREQUENT COMPLAIN ABOUT 2007 CAMRYS. WE HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR GENTLY, NEVER EXCEEDING 75 MPH. NO RACING, ETC. ONE WOULD EXPECT TO GET AT LEAST 200,000 MILES FROM A CAMRY ENGINE RUN ON SYNTHETIC OIL. THE DEALER AND TWO ADDITIONAL SERVICE CENTERS HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR WHAT WENT WRONG. BAD THINGS HAPPEN, THEY SAY. A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE COSTS ABOUT $6500 FOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, SO WE CLEARLY ARE LESS THAN PLEASED. *TR

OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 69,000 MILE WHICH HAS HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION, ONE QUART EVERY 3,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION.

TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ISSUED TSB-0094-11 BULLETIN. WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE BECAUSE IN ALL TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 3YRS AGO, THIS CAR BURNS SO MUCH OIL, I KEEP MY OIL CHANGED BUT IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I CONTINUE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 3 QTS, I HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP (LOUIE HERRON) IN MILLEDGEVILLE GA, TO EXPRESS LUBE BUT NO ONE SEEMED TO TELL ME WHY MY CAR WAS BURNING SO MUCH OIL. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THIS WEEKEND I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IS WHEN HE ADVISED ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLES ENGINE NEEDS REBUILT BUT IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL, I'M TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS A WOMAN TO BUY A VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP AN LATER (3YEARS LATER) FIND OUT THE ENGINE IS SHOT, THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE BUT "I" WAS LEFT IN THE DARK.. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2007 AS A MARK DOWN BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN RETURNED BY A BUSINESS BUT THE OIL LEAK PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT NOR WAS I TOLD OF THE PROBLEM. SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW BUT I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM. THERE WAS NO BLACK SMOKE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. OVER AND OVER AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR IN AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MISSING OIL. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY NEVER PUT THE REQUIRED AMOUNT IN BUT ALWAYS PUT IN FROM ONE HALF TO A FULL QUART LOW. I NEVER MISSED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND EACH TIME I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE OIL PROBLEM BUT THEY NEVER FIXED IT. INSTEAD THEY ALWAYS OFFERED ME SOME EXCUSE. THE WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. I NEED YOU HELP BECAUSE I AM AT WITS END AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE WORRIED ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS HAVE TO CARRY SPARE OIL IN MY TRUNK. *JS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 78000 ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I NOTICED I HAD TO PUT OIL LIKE ONCE A MONTH THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL. NOW A YEAR LATER I HAVE TO PUT A QUART IN AND THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AND BLOWING ANY DARK SMOKE. THIS IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WE BEGAN ADDING OIL, AND RE-CHECKING THE OIL AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL AT A RATE OF ABOUT 1 QUART PER 2 WEEKS. I WOULD ESTIMATE BASED ON THE DISTANCE TO EMPLOYMENT THAT IT COMES TO ABOUT 1 QUART PER 600-700 MILES. A COUPLE TIMES THE ENGINE OIL DIP-STICK WAS ALMOST DRY & COVERED IN TAR - WHICH I HAD TO RUB VIGOROUSLY TO GET OFF AFTER ADDING OIL? NOW, WE KEEP CLOSE TRACK OF THE LEVEL. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER ON 5/31/13 AND THE DEALER HAD NO ANSWER FOR THE INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION OTHER THAN TO VERIFY THAT WERE NO LEAKS OR OIL IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. *TT

SIX MONTHS AND LESS TAN 5,000 MILES BEFORE THE INCIDENT, TOYOTA DEALER OFFERED $11,000 FOR THE VEHICLE DURING THE OIL CHANGE SERVICE. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE INCIDENT, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT (WHEN DEALER OFFERED $11,000), THERE MIGHT BE A SLIGHT WATER LEAK, BUT, IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND THEREFORE, KEEP WATCHING THE COOLANT LEVEL. I KEPT WATCHING THE COOLANT LEVEL AS THEY TOLD ME. COOLANT LEVEL WAS NORMAL BEFORE I STARTED TO DRIVE RIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND WITHIN 50 MILES OF DRIVING ENGINE WAS LOST.

NO, THERE WASN'T A CRASH BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN. THE CAR IS A 2007. LUCKILY I STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. IT WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO TODAY. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $4200 TO REPAIR. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I'M STILL SHOCKED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIED. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS CAR, A CHEVY, WAS GIVING ME SO MANY PROBLEMS. WHEN ASKED WHY WOULD IT JUST DIE WITHOUT WARNING...I WAS TOLD IT JUST DID. THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING.

TOYOTA POSTED A BULLETIN IN 2011, BUT THAT IS THEM TRYING TO CALL MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION BY THE ENGINE 'NORMAL'.

OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN BURNING MORE OIL THAN MANUAL SPECIFIES. WE BEGAN TO CHECK OIL LEVEL ONCE A WEEK, DUE TO LOW AMOUNT OF OIL. IN SEPTEMBER, 2013, WE HAD BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM THE CAR.

HE HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE SEALS ON THE ENGINE, AT A COST OF $1400. I WROTE TO TOYOTA CORP WITH NO LUCK IN GETTING REIMBURSEMENT.

ALTHOUGH, SHE HAS COMPLIED WITH THE MAINTENANCE STANDARDS, TOYOTA DECIDED TO IGNORE WHAT WAS SEEMINGLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TOYOTA DID OFFER $1500 TOWARDS A NEARLY $6,300 NEW ENGINE WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DATED BACK TO APRIL 2013, WHEN THE OIL PAN LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE EVERY TWO MONTHS.

I NOTICED WHEN APPLYING SUDDEN BRAKES LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT WENT AWAY WHEN BRAKES WERE RELEASED. I THOUGHT IT MAY BE TIME FOR OIL CHANGE AND GOT OIL CHANGE DONE SHORTLY. THAT PROBLEM DIDN'T CAME BACK TILL FEW MONTHS LATER. I HAD MY OIL CHANGE DONE FROM THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE WAS NOT DUE YET SO I WENT TO THE NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT DIDN'T SHOW ANY OIL IN THE DIPSTICK SO THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE AND FILLED IT UP(NO VISIBLE PROBLEM NOTICED). I THOUGHT I WILL GET IT INSPECTED WITH THE DEALER ON MY NEXT VISIT. NEXT TIME WHEN I WENT TO DEALER I MENTIONED IT AND THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO CHECK THAT BUT THEY DID VISUAL INSPECTION AND DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM OR LEAKS. AGAIN AFTER SAME ISSUE THEY TOLD ME TO COME AFTER 1200 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I HAD TO CARRY THE OIL WITH ME JUST IN CASE AS THE NEARBY AUTO PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS ABNORMAL. I HAD TO TOP IT UP AGAIN SHORTLY AS THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 2500 MILES AND THEY SEALED THE KNOB WITH SILICON OR SOMETHING SO IT CANNOT BE TAMPERED WITH AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME ON WEEKDAY SO THEY CAN TALK TO THE TOYOTA ENGINEER. WHEN I RETURNED THEY TESTED IT AND FOUND NORMAL CONSUMPTION AND NO PROBLEM FOUND. I AM STILL FACING THAT PROBLEM AND I CALLED TOYOTA HOTLINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD GO BY THE DEALERS OPINION ON THAT AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I READ THESE POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE THEN IT DEFINITELY SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM AND NOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EITHER . MY ENGINE IS STILL FINE, ONLY PROBLEM IS I HAVE TO CHANGE OIL TOO FREQUENTLY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ENGINE IN FUTURE I DEFINITELY HOPE TOYOTA WILL COVER IT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED ANY PROBLEM ON MY ENGINE AFTER SO MANY VISITS. *TR

VVTI OIL LINE RUPTURE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY W/ V6 ENGINE WE PURCHASED THIS NEW AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER W/ MYSELF AS THE ONLY OTHER OCCASIONAL DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS RECEIVED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. VEHICLE, AT TIME OF INCIDENT (11-15-13), HAD 50,893 MILES. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED HOME FROM SHOPPING SHE SAW A TRAIL OF OIL UP THE DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE. THE OIL TRAIL APPEARED TO BEGIN DOWN THE STREET NEAR OUR HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE ENGINE, OIL GUSHED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE V-6 ENGINE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 - 2 QUARTS LOW. OUR TOYOTA USES NO OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. OIL HAD SPRAYED ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE, THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND SOME OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED A VVTI OIL LINE PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN TOYOTA VEHICLES W/ A V-6 ENGINE. A SHORT RUBBER SECTION OF EXTERNAL ENGINE OIL LINE WOULD LEAK OR RUPTURE. OURS RUPTURED WITH-OUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS. THE NEXT MORNING WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY REPAIRED AND VERIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE VVTI OIL LINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY TOYOTA AND WE HAD TO PAY. I FOUND OUT TOYOTA DID HAVE A LSC 90-K PHASE TWO CAMPAIGN THAT DID COVER THIS BUT IT HAD EXPIRED. WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO 2 LEVELS OF TOYOTA THEN WROTE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT TORRANCE, CA. BUT THEY ALL SAID LETTERS WERE SENT OUT AND THE CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED MARCH 31, 2013. THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE DID OFFER A LIMITED REFUND FOR FUTURE PARTS OR SERVICE AT TOYOTA DEALERS. THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND TOYOTA SHOULD NOT HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE FOR REPAIRING THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE FIRES AND RUIN ENGINES.

CAR WOULD LOOSE 1 QUART OR MORE WITH IN 200 MILES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE ONLY TO BE TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOT ONLY DUE TO MILEAGE BUT NOT BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND NOT HAVING MY SERVICE WORK DONE THERE. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HAS DONE ALL THE SERVICE WORK BY THE BOOK. MY ISSUES HAPPEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHERE THE CAR WILL JERK, SHAKE, ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE WHILE THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL BLINK WELL OVER 20 TIMES BEFORE STAYING LIT. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A CASE OF OIL IN MY CAR NEVER KNOWING WHEN I WOULD NEED TO ADD. I HAVE HAD TO BORROW A CAR FROM MY FAMILY AS I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS ONE. IT CAN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT LEAVE ME OR JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE KEPT DETAILED NOTES FROM GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA WITH THE PISTON RINGS/SEALS, ETC. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW MY AR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I FEEL TOYOTA BEING SUCH A WELL KNOWN COMPANY AND HARPING ABOUT SAFETY SHOULD STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING WITH OR WITHOUT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50 K MILES THE ENGINE STARTED BURNING OIL AND THE ENGINE BECAME VERY NOISY. THE CAR CURRENTLY USES ABOUT A QUART EVERY 1200 MILES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV, EDMUNDS.COM WEBSITES AND THE CONSUMERAFFAIRS.ORG WEBSITE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AS ACKNOWLEDGED IN TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0094-11 ISSUED 8/11/2011.

(OF COURSE AS AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS ENGINE AND VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED).I CAN SEE BY OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PERSONAL IMPACT ASIDE, THIS IS A VEHICLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT ALMOST AS MUCH OIL IN THE CAR EVERY WEEK AS I DO GASOLINE. THE ADDITIONAL EMISSIONS CAUSED BY THE OIL BURNING IS BEING OFFSET PARTIALLY BY THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT ONLY PARTIALLY, AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO FILTER IT OUT ALTOGETHER.

THE ENGINE CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME DUE TO LACK OF ENGINE OIL AND THE CATALITIC CONVERTER WILL CLOG UP AND BE PUTTING OUT EXCESSIVE EXHAUST FUMES TO THE ENVIRONMENT. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW HAS 149,000 MILES ON IT AND IT BURNS MORE THEN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES AND ITS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY ITS DRIVEN. I KNOW IT IS SELF DESTRUCTING. TOYOTA ADMITS THE ENGINE PISTONS WERE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL IN EXTREME QUANTITIES, A QUART EVERY 800-1000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DENIES TO TAKE ACTION. I HAVE TO FILL MY ENGINE WITH THE OIL EVERY 2800 MILES OR SO OR TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE. MY ENGINE, I'M AFRAID WILL DEFECT IN DRIVING CAUSING HARM TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND ME BECAUSE I DON'T FOLLOW MY MILEAGE AND ONLY WAY I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN I'M BRAKING THAT'S THE SIGN THAT I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGE. NOW ITS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL EITHER EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS COMING OUT THEIR EARS ALL THE TIME WHEN THAT MUCH OIL IS BURNED INTO THE AIR AND FUNNY THING IS IT DOESN'T EVEN SMOKE IN TAIL PIPE AND VEHICLE PASSES EVERY EMISSION TEST. HOW??? I DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS THAT MY ENGINE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFAULTED PARTS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE GUY THAT OTHER YEAR TOYOTAS HAVE DIFFERENT PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS AND I ASSUME IT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR OUR CARS TO RECEIVE THOSE BECAUSE WE PAID FULL AMOUNT FOR THESE CARS AND WE SHOULDN'T RECEIVE SHORT END OF THE STICK. I ASK YOU TO PUSH THIS FOR A RECALL BECAUSE TOYOTA OWNS THIS TO ITS OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR

OWNED 2007 CAMRY SINCE NEW, NOTICED INITIALLY THAT CAR BURNED OIL AND THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF 'BREAK-IN' PERIOD. AS TIME WENT BY IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE; NOW AT 176,000 MILES IT'S BURNING ABOUT HALF QUART EVERY1200 MILES. THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND CAR IS NOT SMOKING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DEALER DURING SERVICE APPOINTMENTS AND MENTIONED IT, WAS TOLD IT WAS 'NORMAL'. I ALSO OWN A '94 TOYOTA PICKUP WITH 249K ON IT; OTHER THAN THE STARTER WHICH FAILED 3 YEARS AGO IT'S PRETTY MUCH ORIGINAL. NO LEAKS OR BURNING OIL AND GETS BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THE CAMRY EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE BOTH 4 CYLINDERS. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO QUALITY CONTROL, ONCE TOYOTA MADE IT TO THE TOP A FEW YEARS AGO THEY'VE GONE DOWNHILL SINCE. TAKING THIS CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND LET'S SEE WHAT THEY'LL SAY. NEVER BUYING NEW TOYOTA'S AGAIN. *TR

THE OTHER DAY MY BRAKES WOULD NOT HOLD I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CAR IN THE FRONT OF ME AND MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME... THEN WHEN I START TO TAKE OFF IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT IT IS TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR.

APPROXIMATELY 10K MILES AGO I NOTICED THAT THE OIL LIGHT ON MY 2007 CAMRY CAME ON APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE *(SCHEDULED EVERY 5000 MILES). I REFILLED IT AND IT TOOK OVER THREE QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR ITS OIL CHANGE, I MENTIONED IT. NOTHING WAS SAID AND THE OIL CHANGE PROCEEDED. THE NEXT OIL CHANGE CYCLE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROUS THREADS ON REPUTABLE BOARDS (EXAMPLE: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1848AA) WHICH SHOWED THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE IS A TOYOTA TSB COVERING THIS PROBLEM, AND NEWER ENGINES HAVE REDESIGNED PISTONS: T-SB-0094-11. I HAVE USED THE DEALER SINCE DAY 1 TO SERVICE THE TOYOTA, AND THEY CONCEALED THE FACT THAT THIS CAR WAS BURNING OIL THROUGHOUT THE YEARS (JIFFY LUBE REPORTS THE OIL LEVELS REMOVED FROM MY 1996 BRONCO, WHICH MAY USE A 1/2 QUART IN 3K MILES). I STARTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST 1000 MILES AGO - TOYOTA STATED TODAY THAT THE CAR USED 'APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART IN 1105 MILES' WHICH IS 'NORMAL CONSUMPTION PER TOYOTA.' IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ENGINE SEIZES (DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION) ON AN INTERSTATE, IN AN INTERSECTION, CROSSING A TRAIN TRACK, OR PASSING A VEHICLE ON A COUNTRY ROAD RESULTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. IS IT NECESSARY FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR BEFORE TOYOTA IS FORCED TO CORRECT THEIR DESIGN FLAW? *TR

THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE, ESPECIALLY AT START UP AND ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS THE ENGINE MIGHT SEIZE UP. FORTUNATELY, I CAUGHT IT BEFORE THAT HAPPENED. TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE T-SB-0094-11; THEY KNEW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NEVER NOTIFIED VEHICLE OWNERS AND THE LOCAL DEALER NEVER PERFORMED THE INSPECTION TEST CALLED FOR IN THE BULLETIN. IN ADDITION, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS WITH NHTSA AND HUNDREDS MORE POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE ARE TWO SAFETY ISSUES: ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND TOYOTA'S DISREGARD FOR SAFETY, BY NOT INFORMING OWNERS OF THE ISSUE. *TR

DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF A HOSE, A LEAK DEVELOPED IN THIS HOSE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. WE NOTICED ABNORMAL NOISES COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC. WE SPENT $400 WITH THEM AS THEY DIAGNOSED AND TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY AFTER SPENDING THIS MONEY THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START. IT IS VERY LIKELY THE CAR HAS SUFFERED SUBSTANTIAL ENGINE DAMAGE AND ANY FUTURE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS COULD RESULT IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OR REPAIRS. THIS DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE ENGINE OF OUR CAR. PRESENTLY OUR CAR IS INOPERABLE AND SITTING IN OUR PARKING LOT. WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO SPEND MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY DUE TO BAD DESIGN AND INFERIOR PARTS BY TOYOTA. IN DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, WE FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS OIL HOSE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE FAULT OF TOYOTA AND NOT US AND MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS WE PAID TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEM AND PAY THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM, HAVING AN ENGINE FAIL ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LOCALLY COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY. IN SPITE OF OUR CONTACT WITH TOYOTA, THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX OUR CAR. OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE CURRENTLY AT RISK AS IF THEIR ENGINE FAILS IN TRANSIT SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR TO A CAR WHEN THE ENGINE FAILS. *TR

IN MARCH 2013, I TOOK MY CAR TO MY DEALER FOR A SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND ALSO BECAUSE I HAD NOTICED A TICKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A RAINY DAY, HE COULD NOT HEAR THE TICKING NOISE DURING HIS TEST DRIVE. I WAS STILL CONCERNED, AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS SURE IT WAS OK FOR ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT BECAUSE I HEARD THE NOISE EVERY TIME I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP. HE SAID IT WAS FINE TO DRIVE AND TO BRING IT BACK IN IF THE NOISE CONTINUES. IN MAY 2013, AT 64,756 MILES, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE TICKING NOISE WAS CONTINUING AND SEEMINGLY GETTING LOUDER. A DIFFERENT TECHNICIAN CHECKED IT, AND AFTERWARDS I RECEIVED THE DEVASTATING NEWS THAT MY CAR EXPERIENCED "INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE" AND NEEDED THE ENGINE REPLACED. I WAS GIVEN SOME PRICE ESTIMATES FOR USED ENGINES, NONE OF WHICH WERE WARRANTIED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. WHEN I INFORMED THEM OF MY INABILITY TO AFFORD AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT, TOYOTA SUGGESTED THAT MY CAR UNDERGO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BY MY DEALER, WHICH I DID. AFTER 1,000 MILES, THE DEALER DETERMINED THE CAR WAS NOT BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY. TOYOTA THEN OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE; THE DEALER THEN OFFERED ME A DISCOUNT ON THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. IN ALL THE YEARS I OWNED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD NEVER ONCE COME ON. (THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE I HAD WITH THE VEHICLE WAS A WATER PUMP FAILURE ON 5/22/2012, WHICH WAS REPLACED AT 56,891 MILES.) I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT TIMELY OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I HAD NO OIL IN THE CAR. HOWEVER, I WAS WELL WITHIN THE RANGE BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE WAS DUE.THEY CONDUCTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND FOUND NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT EVERY TWO MONTHS SINCE THEN, I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN JANUARY 2013. THE RESULTS OF EACH OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS SAID TO BE OK, BUT EVERY TWO MONTHS AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS REQUIRED AND MY CAR KEEPS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL. FINALLY, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE OVERHAULED. IF THIS HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG, THEN THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN I FIRST MADE MY COMPLAINT IN DECEMBER, BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY FOR MY ENGINE TO BE OVERHAULED BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED. I'M FORCED TO EITHER PAY $4,100 TO OVERHAUL THE ENGINE AND HOPE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED, OR BUY A NEW CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SINCE THE PROBLEM BEGAN BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. TOYOTA HAS EXCLUSIVELY CHANGED MY OIL FOR 6 YEARS AND WAS AWARE THAT THE CAR WAS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. THEY SHOULD HAVE SUGGESTED THE ENGINE OVERHAUL DURING MY WARRANTY. IT WAS FAULTY ON THEIR BEHALF NOT TO MENTION THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS PROMPTED ME TO CONDUCTED RESEARCH AND I FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE MADE. TOYOTA OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE IN ANYTYPE OF SOLUTION. IF YOU CAN ADVISE OF ANY HELP I CAN GET, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. *TR

I CALLED THE TOYOTA CX EXP CTR TO VOICE MY COMPLAINT AND EXPLAINED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD REIMBURSE ME $2,000 FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE OR GIVE ME $1,000 OFF THE PURCHASE OF A NEW OR USED TOYOTA VEHICLE ONCE I SUBMIT AN INVOICE STATING I PAID FOR THE SVC AND THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED BY WORLD TOYOTA. *TR

WHILE MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY ONE EVENING IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2011, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 QUARTS LOW (MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 4.5 QUARTS). I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A LOCAL FACILITY, LEXOLOGY, THAT SPECIALIZES IN TOYOTA/LEXUS. THE OWNER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2AZ-F3 ENGINES. HE SHOWED ME THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0094-11), AND INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE VEHICLE IGNITION AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASE ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT. I SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE AN INSPECTION TEST WAS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TSB AND THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER (1202062104). THERE WERE SEVERAL EXCHANGES BY PHONE AND IN WRITING WITH TOYOTA IN ATTEMPT TO GET TOYOTA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. THE EXCHANGES WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND I FILED A SMALL CLAIMS SUIT (SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA CASE # 13S00672). THE SMALL CLAIMS SUIT WAS ALSO UNSUCCESSFUL AND I AM NOW TAKING ANY AND ALL ACTION WITHIN MY POWER TO BRING THE MATTER TO THE ATTENTION OF OTHERS. I CAN SEE BY OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PERSONAL IMPACT ASIDE, THIS IS A VEHICLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT ALMOST AS MUCH OIL IN THE CAR EVERY WEEK AS I DO GASOLINE. THE ADDITIONAL EMISSIONS CAUSED BY THE OIL BURNING IS BEING OFFSET PARTIALLY BY THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT ONLY PARTIALLY, AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO FILTER IT OUT ALTOGETHER. I URGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AND RAISE THIS TO RECALL STATUS AND HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY. WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON, AND THEN BACK OFF. BEING ON THE SAFE SIDE, I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHT COMING ON BRIEFLY WAS NOT A FLUKE. TO MY SURPRISE, MY ENGINE WAS NEARLY BONE DRY. IF I HADN'T CHECKED THE LEVEL, THE ENGINE COULD EASILY HAVE SEIZED. I BROUGHT IT TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, MAGIC TOYOTA OF EDMONDS, WA, WHO COMPLETED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK" AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR'S BURNING OF OIL IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AGAIN. I HAD ONLY PUT ABOUT 2900 MILES ON IT SINCE ITS LAST OIL CHANGE AND, ONCE AGAIN, MY DIPSTICK SHOWED THE OIL LEVEL TO BE BELOW THE BOTTOM DOT WHICH INDICATES THE OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. I AGAIN BROUGHT THE CAR TO MAGIC TOYOTA WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I DIDN'T PROPERLY READ THE DIPSTICK AND THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS ONLY 1/2 OF A QUART BELOW FULL. THEY MADE A MARK WITH A PEN ON A DRAWING OF THE DIPSTICK TO SHOW ME WHERE THE OIL LEVEL HAD BEEN. THIS WAS ENTIRELY UNTRUE AND FRAUDULENT!

JUDGING BY ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ IT IS QUITE APPARENT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO TOYOTA'S ATTENTION . THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PROPERLY FIXED. *TR

ENGINE IS CONSUMING 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND ITS SEEMS THAT DEALERSHIPS KNOW ABOUT IT ALREADY. I STRONGLY BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD FIX IT AND RECALL ALL TOYOTA CAMRY'S 2007. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AS USUAL AND NOTICED RED ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I BRAKE FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHEN I GOT HOME AND REALIZED THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK AT ALL! I ENDED UP PUTTING IN ABOUT 2 QTS OF OIL TO RETURN IT TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. AFTER RESEARCHING FOR THE PROBLEM, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AND BASICALLY THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA HASN'T BEEN HONEST ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS POTENTIAL PROBLEMS LATELY. PLEASE PRESSURE TOYOTA TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. OTHERWISE I WILL NEVER BUY ANY TOYOTA PRODUCT AGAIN. AT THE SAME TIME, I RECALLED MY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE FROM, HAD PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED THAT OIL PAN COULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING OIL. I WENT UNDER THE CAR, AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE AT ALL! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS KNEW ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND WAS TRYING TO MISGUIDE ME! *TR

ENGINE MADE KNOCKING NOISE. INSPECTION BY TOYOTA DEALER REVEALED ENGINE MAIN BEARING PROBLEMS PROBABLY RESULTING FROM LOW OIL PRESSURE OR OIL DEPLETION. POSSIBLE FAULTY PISTON RINGS WITH THIS ENGINE/YEAR 2007. THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTEDLY COMMON WITH THIS 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, BUT I DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT DATA TO BETTER ASSESS. *TR

I DID A RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT MANY CAMRY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR, PLEASE HELP , HOPEFULLY NHTSA WOULD MAKE THE TOYOTA CORPORATION DOING A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL FOR THE LAST ONE YEAR. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE THAT CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE VERY SOON. IF I DON'T FILL THE ENGINE WITH ADDITIONAL OIL BETWEEN TWO OIL CHANGES, WHEN ITS TIME TO CHANGE OIL, NOTHING COMES OUT FROM THE ENGINE - THE ENTIRE OIL IS BEING BURNT BY THE ENGINE AND THE RED OIL CHANGE SIGN COMES OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. I NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM - THEY ASKED MY TO KEEP ADDING OIL. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2001 - 06 TOYOTAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TOYOTA OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE - PLEASE GOOGLE IT TO CHECK. THEREFORE, I AM REQUESTING AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND START A RECALL OF ALL 2007 CAMRY ENGINES ASAP. WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP FROM NHTSA. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAMRY NEW IN 2007 FOR MY WIFE. I'VE MAINTAINED IT AS PER MFG SCHEDULE. AFTER HAVING OIL CHANGE DONE AT AROUND 65000 MILES, I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE & NOTICED OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. UPON ARRIVING HOME, CHECKED DIP STICK & THERE WAS NO OIL ON STICK!!. THIS WAS AFTER OIL CHANGE 2000 MILES AGO. I TOOK VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE STATION TO GET CAR LOOKED AT & A NEW OIL CHANGE. THE TECH FOUND NO OIL LEAKS.. HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAD HEARD OF CAMRYS HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. WENT ON INTERNET, FOUND A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS OF CAMRYS, THIS AGE & WITH AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I DON'T WANT TO BE TOLD "THAT THIS IS NORMAL:, "THAT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY" BUT DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ADD ME TO THE LIST OF VERY UNHAPPY & CONCERNED OWNERS. GIVEN TOYOTA'S TRACK RECORD,I DON'T HAVE ANY TRUST OR FAITH THAT THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS UNLESS FORCED TO. *TR

I HAD MY OIL CHANGED ABOUT 5,000 MILES PREVIOUSLY TO A MOMENT WHEN MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON BARELY, AND THEN FLASHED BACK OFF. I DECIDED TO CHECK IT, JUST IN CASE, AND FOUND THAT I WAS TOTALLY WITHOUT OIL. I WENT TO TOYOTA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAD WAITED LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. I GOT THE OIL CHANGE, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY THEN BEGAN AN "OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK" WHERE I BRING THE CAR IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO SEE IF IT HAS CONSUMED TOO MUCH OIL. AT THIS POINT IN MY OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK, AFTER ABOUT 3000 MILES, I'VE BURNED ABOUT 1.5 QUARTS OIL, ACCORDING TO THEM. THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 45K ON IT, AND I SAY IT SHOULDN'T BE BURNING SO MUCH OIL. THE CAR ALSO DOESN'T START AS RESPONSIVELY AS IT OUGHT TO. THE OIL ALSO LOOKS VERY DIRTY. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL, BUT MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES I'VE NOTICED IN ONLINE FORUMS, ETC., AND I SUSPECT TOYOTA IS AVOIDING TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ENGINE PROBLEM. *TR

HI, I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FEBRUARY OF 2007. FAST FORWARD 5 YEARS AND 114K MILES AND MY CAR WON'T KEEP OIL IN IT. NO LEAKS, THE CAR BURNS OIL! I CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS ACTUALLY A TOYOTA TECHNICIAN AND HE SAID OIL BURNING IN THE 2007 CAMRYS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. A GOOGLE SEARCH PROOVES IT. THERE ARE TONS OF POSTS FROM ANGRY, ONCE LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY SAY IT IS "NORMAL" FOR THEIR CARS TO BURN A QUART EVERY 600 MILES SO WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, YOU SHOULD JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR. WRITING IN TO CORPORATE DOESN'T HELP EITHER. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL TOYOTA OUT ON THIS!!! NONE OF US KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THIS FIXED OR TO MAKE TOYOTA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. ANY HELP OR ADVISE YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL! *JS
