I have owned my camry for several years, and i bought it from the original owner (family), who purchased it new off the lot in 2009. Since 2010 the car has started to burn more and more oil. In late 2015-2016 (after the oil consumption recall was closed) my catalytic converter failed due to the oil consumption. During the recall, i had it checked by a dealership who said that it passed. At that time i was adding at…

The car made a 'ding' sound when the breaks were applied while it was being driven. Upon checking, i noticed that the engine oil was extremely low - the dip stick showed no oil on it. I was alarmed and immediately added 3 quarts of oil - for oil to show up on the dip stick. At first, i figured that, maybe at the previous oil change, sufficient oil was not added. Soon thereafter, i got an oil change. About 3 months…

Purchased a used 2008 camry on 7/15/15. The car was serviced for the oil change right before i got it and i still had over 900 miles left before i hit the 3000 mile mark to have the oil change done. We checked the oil and it was completely dry. Not a drip on the dip stick! I think it's safe to say that this vehicle has a engine oil consumption issue.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION 1QT EVERY 500 MILES

Engine · Unknown Or Other
Engine oil burning off way to fast. I have to add 1 qt every 1,200 - 1,500 miles. I took my cat in to the dealership for a oil consumption test and passed. But i did notice that they use 5-20 oil. Which i believe is why it passed. Because i use 0-20 oil, just like my owners manual says. So i'm not sure.

I have noticed exceessive oil consumption since 2015 is 2016 and have gone through numerous repairs only to still have the same problem. The latest estimate is for an engine replacement because after all of this time one guy actually noticed that the oil was literally burning up right after he changed the oil. I have been stranded on the interstate at night with a toddler for hours, as well as not being able to…

Camry is hit by a pick up truck on the left passenger side, causing the camry to lose control and rotate more than 360 degrees on the road but none of the airbags, even the side airbags deployed. I called toyota and asked by the side airbags did not deploy and was told that they could inspect it but they will be charging me $99 to check why the airbags didn't deploy.

My engine mounts were broken -all of them. Thought the engine was idling rough, but the engine was moving around within the car and "could have fallen out" is what i understood the mechanic to say. I previously reported very premature failure of brakes, broken water pump, belts, and more. Now the engine mounts. I do not drive fast, and i drive smooth highways, not our locally bad streets. No reason the mounts should…
