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…

So after loving my 2007 toyota camry for many good years, my heartache started when it began using oil to the tune of visible loss on dipstick at 800 miles. I was shocked to find little or no oil on the dip stick so i started watching it closely. I confirmed that my 2007 toyota camry car burns a bit more than 2 quarts every 800-1000 miles. I later found out about the oil consumption issue by researching this problem…

Excessive oil consumption issue. Toyota will now offer any coverage or warranty. Issue just started showing itself this past fall and once i learned of the technical service bulletin, toyota said it was past their 10/31/16 date and the fact that the care was past the 10 year pis date (by 4 days). They now say this is a wear and tear issue. There is something wrong here with this many problems for many, many camry…

After i paid to…

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…
