I am filing complaint on 2007 camry because of excessive oil consumption. From research on issue, i understand that safety issues can occur due to the engines siezing up and the car can quit running while i'm driving. Not sure about engine catching fire. I have persued different avenues with toyota to correct issue since the problem stems from factory engineering. But to no avail. This was already an issue at time i…

After toyota completing an oil consumption test they informed us they add 1 qt of oil and then measure how low it was after the added oil in the 1200 mile test and concluded the 1/2qt low was not enough to warrant repairs to the engine, knowing they have a defect in the engine piston rings it was actually 1 1/2 qt low in total and they wont fix the problem and said it could cost us in the area of 3-4,000$

Oil consumption. I had the oil changed at the dealership in may when i started noticing consumption. I happened to check the oil a couple of weeks later and it wasn't even touching the stick, so i added 2 quarts of oil and took it back to the dealer and asked them if they even changed the oil. They of course said yes and we kept noticing it burning quite a bit of oil. I took it to a my mechanic and he immediately…

I purchased my car used about 4 months ago i checked the oil shortly after purchase and it was nearly full. I recently had low oil engine pressure warning light come on. I checked my oil and had barely anything left. My car is somehow going through about a quart of oil every thousand miles or so and yet there is no evidence of a leak in my driveway.

I adhered to the recall ze7 oil consumption test notice issued by toyota. Over the next 6months water/coolant was leaking into my engine through what i learned could have been a faulty engine head gasket. My 2007 camry had never run hot before toyota took my engine apart and put it back together. They do not want to admit their error. The oil dip stick showed signs of water oil mixture. Later it was like milk. This…

My camry has check engine light on and oil needed to be changed once again in less than 3 months. Toyota has a recall on oil burning up but they checked last time and said it's okay. Evidently it's not. The mechanic recommended brake booster for the engine light issue which costs from $750-$1,200 which is hard to afford. This kind of issue can cost your life. Toyota needs to recall this and fix it since so many…

Toyota has admitted on 2011 in its technical service bulletin that the engine defect in my 2007 toyota camry exhibits excessive oil consumption due to the design defect of the 2az-fe engine. It requires a piston assembly change to minimize oil consumption however the toyota dealership refuses to repair it at their own cost, this is a very significant repair costing thousands of dollars to fix. They notified me that…

/c problems. The service guy stated the problem was not with work toyota did on the car. It has been one thing after another. I love my toyota. This is lousy service. I know it has been quite some time since all of this was done. I just have not felt up to voicing my complaint. Unhappy with toyota service at herrin gear toyota in jackson, ms.
