It did this for a few seconds then stopped, a few minutes later the engine raced again. About. That time another car pulled up next to me to tell me my car was on fire(smoking). I pulled off the interstate and had to have my car towed. Toyota finally agreed to replace the engine but i am having same problems…

After the oil change, i checked the level to make sure it is full. After 600 miles, the mark is near the low end, which means about 1.2 quart consumption (according to user…

    The oil baffle in my 2007 camry has trashed the engine and toyota refuses to take any responsibility because my car is couple of thousand miles past the warranty and they are asking for 8,000 for a new engine. In the meantime, i am still making payment for this car and i have not been able to drive it for the past month and do not have the money to fix it. *tt

    The vvt-i line from bank 1 failed and oil leaked all over my driveway. The car was 4.3 quarts low. No specific action took place to cause this other than a defective part/design from toyota. The "fix" was a replacement pipe sub assembly (p/n 15707-31030). Apparently there is a metal replacement assembly but they put another rubber pipe into my car. Let's hope it doesn't have again and actually cause some damage. *tr
