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

Excessive oil consumption. Took vehicle into dealer with complaint of engine valve noise. Dealer said no way valve problems with their cars at that mileage. Left with $1800 in non-associated repairs. Noticed accelerating consumption of oil. Tried again to get a fix with pcv valve and all filters replaced. Constantly topping off with oil between regular oil changes. Wouldn't accept the fact that engine valve seals…

I have a problem with the oil, it burns a lot of oil or engine may exhibit engine oil consumption) and there is no power at the cigarette lighter plug on both of them. My first thought was that the fuse for it must be blown. I checked the fuse box under the hood, but there is nothing broken.

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…

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…

Due to faulty engineering design the car is burning excessive engine oil and has a service bulletin that covers the car up to 60,000 miles only. 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…

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"…

On or about september, 2011, and within warranty, my oil light came on. I immediately went to ira toyota. I had two quarts of oil remaining in crankcase. They conducted an oil consumption test, one of three, and told me that the loss of one half quart per 1,000 miles was within specs. Rubbish. I then complained to toyota motor sales, usa, inc. They sent me their engineer who stated that toyota would fix the problem.…
