With toyota t-sb-0094-11, toyota acknowledges that they have a problem with oil consumption in a handful of car models. They have set the bar high in order to get the repair covered, either under the normal or extended warranty.

It is a 2009 camry, but not on the toyota recall list (this was confirmed w/the toyota dealership). The toyota dealership could not replicate the problem, found no indication of it in the computer/electronic logs in the…

Within a few seconds the car flew across the road and hit a fence and was stopped only when it fell into a ditch by the railroad tracks. Luckily the car did not turn over. Surprisingly, the air bags did not deploy. I kept hitting the breaks and…

I have a 2009 toyota camry. I purchased it in 2008. It started shaking/vibrating every time you come to a stop light one year after i purchased it. I took it to the toyota dealer twice (once to have the oil changed and again because the vibration was so bad) and they proceeded to tell me it is because the air filter and fuel line filter needed to be changed & cleaned out. It would cost me almost $500. The car was…
