I have a 2002 toyota camry le 4 cylinder. After the vehicle sits for 3 days in a stationary position on the street, at startup i see white smoke coming from the tailpipe. The white smoke will last for about 60 seconds and go away. I have read other people with camrys with this same issue. My vehicle has only 78,000 miles and the oil level is always full. This should be a recall toyota needs to check in about.
