I received a recall notice for oil consumption i believe in the summer of 2015. I didn't have any issues with oil consumption at the time. However around october 2015, i began to notice the car was burning through oil, i requested a oil consumption test---but it came back that there was no issue. At the time of the oil consumption test my car was at 190,000 miles. Now, the car is starting to burn more oil even after…

My car has been very well maintained, everything on-time. Back august, jiffy lube told us that my car is consuming about 2 qt every 3k miles. I read about it and it is a known issue with toyotas, i need them to resolve my car issue because it is very expensive for me to carry with a manufacturer faults.

I purchased the car in spring of 2015 and after about a year of having the car when i would bring in the car for oil changes the oil level was low and about a year ago the oil wasn't even registering on the oil stick and it has been burning oil at about 2 quarts every 1000 to 1500 miles. I took it to a mechanic today who checked out to make sure there was no oil leaks and he did not see any signs of oil outside the…

We were in the middle of an oil consumption test and there is now a hole in the side of the motor and toyota told us that it isn't covered and it's not their fault but they will put in a used one for about $3000. How is it my fault when they seal everything up so that i can not check the oil levels?

The last oil change i had with my camry 2008 was in february 2017. After driving about 2000 miles in 1.5 months after that oil change, i began to notice my car performance had degraded so much that i decided to check the oil level. When i checked my oil level i was shock to find there was no oil on my dip stick! I went to a local auto shop to pick up 2 quarts and added to my engine. The next day i went to drop it…

I brought my car to toyota service center and they worked on my car for several days. They were able to get the check engine light of…

My car engine is burning is burning oil more than usual it burns about 3,75 quarts of oil every 5000 miles i went to ourisman toyota dealer in fairfax, va and they refuse to fix it .

Toyota dealer has conducted 3 separate excessive oil consumption tests on my car. Each time i was told my car "passed" and did not meet their requirements for excess oil consumption. I can only go 1200-1800 miles before i am warned that my oil is low. We recently discovered that at approximately 1200 miles after my last oil change, my car was registering "0" oil. Toyota, while knowing they have a problem, are not…

I have a 2008 toyota camry with a 2az-fe engine that began using excessive amounts of oil after about 120k miles. I took it to my local dealership who told me it was normal to need to add oil every 1000 miles or so. However it has been brought to my attention that toyota acknowledged this issue on august 11, 2011 with tsb #0094-11.

Burning 1 qt of oil every 600 miles. Toyota acknowledges there is a design defect but won't fix since it is past the warranty extension. How am i supposed to know there was a warranty extension? They said the dealer would tell me when i go into service. But, i say that i don't go to my dealer for service. They say that is why i should go to a dealer for service. Really shady way to say you have provided a warranty…

The car has a very quick oil consumption. Oil has to be either added or changed before the mileage has been reached. The car has been driving sluggish and has begin to be accompanied by shaking. This is not specific to any place nor time as it does it at any point and time when the oil has reduced. I have contacted toyota multi times however the last attempt was the only one where my complaint was taken seriously.…

I have had my toyota camry since 2012 however when i called in to make a complaint about the excessive oil consumption, i was told i was not even registered with toyota. I find that disturbing because i have received notices in the past. I did not receive any notices about the oil consumption test. I even have notices from toyota to prove that i have received notices in the past. When i called in jackie the…

We are very faithful about getting out car's oil changed regularly. Good thing! When we received a warranty enhancement notification that our car was covered for excessive engine oil consumption, we started watching our oil consumption closely. We were definitely going through a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. We took the car in to a local dealership for the oil consumption test in march 2016 and were told our car…

They did something to my car and i drove for another 2000 miles and brought it back in. I was told it had failed the oil consumption test and that i would be put on a waiting list for repair which is covered by an extended warranty from toyota. I was told the wait could be…
