    3 different concerns issue #1: while in motion the abs and brake light come on, speedometer goes to 0, other gauges go crazy. Happens off and on throughout the day while driving. Took it to a mechanic, they said it is the abs module going out, to fix it with a brand new part would be $1800. Not only is it dangerous to not be able to see my speed, its a possibility my abs wouldn't kick in if needed. Regular brakes…

    Our 2007 camry constantly eats oil. We check it every 2-3 weeks and it's not on the dip stick. I add about an additional 3 qts between oil changes... This is not normal! Car does not smoke nor is it leaking the oil.

    Toyota camry 2007 engine consumes excessive oil. Toyota issued a tsb for this problem but because my car is more than 10 years old and had over 150k miles, it was not covered by the tsb. They estimate it will cost $5000 to fix the problem, which is outrageous.

    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…

My last oil change was less than 2500 miles ago. Excessive engine oil consumption is causing a low oil light and possible engine failure. This is a known problem and updated parts are available, but due to my vehicle being over 10 years old,…

    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.
