This car has burned a quart of oil every 1000 miles for the past seven years. Recently received a tsb from toyota on this issue and as instructed, took it into a toyota dealership.

Never the less, i was impressed with the idea.…

This engine has high engine oil consumption, there is no visible leaks, no blue smoke indication, and oil lamp keeps going of on stops and acceleration. When that happens is because the engine oil is low, even after regular oil changes at mileage and dated recommendations toyota do have a history of this in late 90' with v6 models due to oil sluggish and appears it's happening again. This is also safety concern…

Hi, i am disappointed with toyota. On september 23rd, 2014 my "oil pressure light "came on, and then again on 09-26-14. I always regularly serviced my car at the toyota dealer. At first i said "ok it's time for an oil change", but the miles that i used so far it was not ready to be scheduled for an oil change yet. I immediately knew that there was a problem with my car. I did some research and learned that i was not…

Earlier this year, my 2007 toyota camry started producing some whitish smoke when starting the engine. More recently, the engine began sounding noisy when accelerating - more of a rattle or clacking than a knocking sound. I had it checked out and the mechanic didn't see any leaks, but mentioned that it could be engine components that were machined properly and started to show as the car got more mileage. While…

Our four-cylinder camry le with 141,000 on the odometer was just diagnosed with "low-end bearing noise," meaning the engine has sustained major damage and needs to be replaced. This happened after a very "hard start" that sounded like the engine had no oil in it. A very disturbing sound. We have run this car on synthetic oil (and top-rated oil filters) since the first oil change, and almost all the 141,000 miles on…
