Last week on 9/13/18, i put 4 quarts in and today i checked my dipstick and it nearly dry. I am afraid that this matter…

Engine was making noise ans intermittently stalled. Took the dealer. He charged $135 for the diagnosis and said the engine is burning excessive oil. Real solution is to replace the engine for $4500. He did not offer any compensation. I got the engine oiled filled and drove back home. The car is useless for me. I cannot sell it or trade it. It is a junk now.

Toyota dropped the ball and didn't recall this engine oil consumption issue. I check recalls frequently. Now i'm stuck with a car that drinks a gallon of oil every 700-1200k miles. Even though they did extend the warranty to 10yrs/150k miles, this issue usually happens after then. So they knew what they was doing. My car is going to fail the test but toyota dealers tell me that toyota is going to help with any of…

They advised that there have been recalls on other vehicles however it skipped this vehicle year. Toyota has not provided an option for repair aside from dismantling the engine and rebuilding at my expense. Vehicle requires oil changes and/or oil replenishment almost every 600-1200…

The car maintenance has been kept up per the manufacturer and always taken to the toyota dealer. The car was making a loud unusual noise from the engine; took it to toyota and the oil stick was completely dry. This was after just having a routine oil change about a month earlier. About 1,000 to 1,200 miles later, the same thing, no oil on the dip stick. Interestingly, there is no oil leak in the driveway either. The…

Follow the repair procedure below to address this condition. This is due to worn / loose cam gears. A quick google…

I have gotten two oil changes in two weeks. The vehicle burns oil to empty every 4-5 days. While driving the vehicle cuts off completely and the steering wheel locks. This is especially dangerous while driving on major highways and interstates. I work as a realtor part-time and for the local government full-time. My daily commute (mon-fri) is all major highway and interstate, for 3 hours round-trip. As a realtor, i…

Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes.…

I noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine when starting and the engine was cold. I took it to a dealership they had to keep it overnight to diagnose the problem. The mileage on my camry was 90317 miles when the dealership made the necessary repairs on sept. 10, 2014. I paid $849.79 for the repairs. I see on your site that this is a known defect on this model camry, a defect which the manufacturer is aware…

Within approximately two minutes of a cold start had just made a left turn in the neighborhood. Was accelerating through approximately 20 mph when the car stalled. Rpm dropped from 2,000 to near zero and speed dropped from 20 to approximately 10. The stall lasted a few seconds and then the engine speed increased and the car drove fine from there. This is the third time this has happened in three weeks. *tr

Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? This is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.

The vehicle was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hit in the side front from the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed. Driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was because of the safety of the airbags...which…

My car was consuming oil. After each oil change for the past year the oil in my engine would disappear. I took the car back three times complaining about the oil disappearing. Each time, they would top it off with oil and tell me to drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back. Finally, they told me that i would have to leave my car and an inspector would come out from toyota to make a determination if my engine could…

The engine burns oil excessively 2 qts per oil change every 3000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway from lack of oil on a long trip and if i do not check every week during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 5 years ago at a smaller rate 1/2 -1 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued…
