I was driving the car as usual and noticed red engine oil light came on when I brake for a traffic light. Checked the oil level when I got home and realized there was no oil on the dip stick at all! I ended up putting in about 2 qts of oil to return it to an acceptable level. After researching for the problem, I found out there was a service bulletin for exactly the same problem and basically the engine needed to be rebuilt in order to fix the problem. Seems like toyota hasn't been honest about their products potential problems lately. Please pressure toyota to issue a recall for this problem. Otherwise I will never buy any toyota product again. At the same time, I recalled my dealership, where I purchased the maintenance package from, had previously suggested that oil pan could have been leaking oil. I went under the car, and there was no sign of leakage at all! The dealership always knew about the service bulletin and was trying to misguide me!
2007 Toyota Camry engine complaints
Page 14 of 19: complaints 371 to 400 of 529, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine made knocking noise. Inspection by toyota dealer revealed engine main bearing problems probably resulting from low oil pressure or oil depletion. Possible faulty piston rings with this engine/year 2007. This problem is reportedly common with this 4 cylinder engine, but I do not have sufficient data to better assess.
Started hearing some weird sound at a small turn from home to work. Within a minute of the sound, found the steering totally locked and didnot move left or right and need to apply force to pull over to the side to stop on the highway. Called allstate roadside assistance to tow the vehicle to pep boys and found the water pump broken. Replaced it by them and it is running fine now.
My toyota camry burned 1 quart of oil about every 1000 miles, the problem started at 51000 miles, dealer performed oil consumption test and advised me to pay 2500 dollars for labor to fix that problem, they only cover the parts cost 1500 dollars . I did a research and found out many camry had the same problem, I can't afford to fix this car, please help , hopefully the federal safety agency would make the toyota corporation doing a recall and fix this problem, thank you very much.

When I do 70k miles maintenance in toyota dealer, they told me my car has water pump leak, oil pan gasket leak and front struts leak. And I heard many camry owner suffered from water pump leak. I think it is potential safety issue. So I report this. No accident happen.
2007 toyota camry le 6 cyl. - premature water pump failure with 32,755 miles. The dealership was aware of the technical service bulletin regarding leaking water pumps. They claimed that they would give me a discount on a new pump....labor & parts totaled over $800.00 !!
My 2007 toyota camry engine has been burning oil for the last one year. There are significant sludge in the engine that can damage the engine very soon. If I don't fill the engine with additional oil between two oil changes, when its time to change oil, nothing comes out from the engine - the entire oil is being burnt by the engine and the red oil change sign comes out while driving. This is a serious quality issue with toyota. I never had to deal with similar issues with any other vehicle. When I told the toyota dealer, they refused to acknowledge this problem - they asked my to keep adding oil. If I remember correctly, there was a recall for 2001 - 06 toyotas for the same issue. There are hundreds of toyota owners who are having the same issue - please google it to check. Therefore, I am requesting an the federal safety agency investigation of this engine problem and start a recall of all 2007 camry engines asap. Will appreciate any help from the federal safety agency.
Bought this camry new in 2007 for my wife. I've maintained it as per mfg schedule. After having oil change done at around 65000 miles, I was driving vehicle & noticed oil pressure warning light coming on intermittently. Upon arriving home, checked dip stick & there was no oil on stick!!. This was after oil change 2000 miles ago. I took vehicle to a different service station to get car looked at & a new oil change. The tech found no oil leaks.. He mentioned that he had heard of camrys having excessive oil consumption problems. Went on internet, found a lot of other owners of camrys, this age & with around the same mileage having the same problem. I haven't taken it to the dealership as I don't want to be told "that this is normal:, "that expensive repairs are necessary" but don't solve the problem. Please add me to the list of very unhappy & concerned owners. Given toyota's track record,I don't have any trust or faith that they will do the right thing for their customers unless forced to.

2007 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to check engine light illuminating. *tgw the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, where a diagnostic test revealed the charcoal canister needed to be replaced at a cost of $ 607.90.
I had my oil changed about 5,000 miles previously to a moment when my oil light came on barely, and then flashed back off. I decided to check it, just in case, and found that I was totally without oil. I went to toyota and they informed me that it was simply because I had waited longer than six months to have an oil change. I got the oil change, and the problem continued. They then began an "oil consumption check" where I bring the car in every 1000 miles to see if it has consumed too much oil. At this point in my oil consumption check, after about 3000 miles, I've burned about 1.5 quarts oil, according to them. The car now has about 45k on it, and I say it shouldn't be burning so much oil. The car also doesn't start as responsively as it ought to. The oil also looks very dirty. Toyota continues to tell me this is normal, but many customers are having similar issues I've noticed in online forums, etc., and I suspect toyota is avoiding taking responsibility for an engine problem.
2007 toyota camry. Consumer states problem with noise from engine due to water pump leaking. *tgw the consumer stated the water pump should not have failed, with such low mileage.

My son drove the car on highway about 10 minutes at 10pm and he saw the engine light on and the can was a little bit shaking. After about 5 minutes, the car speed slowed down quickly and there were smoke from front hood. He pulled the car by shoulder, then car was totally dead. The mechanic technician gave a report after checking the car that "waterpump failed and engine ran too long without coolant and melted engine". What a shame the toyota car quality it is as I was always regularly maintained my car by toyota dealer.

Hi, I purchased a brand new 2007 toyota camry in february of 2007. Fast forward 5 years and 114k miles and my car won't keep oil in it. No leaks, the car burns oil! I called a friend who is actually a toyota technician and he said oil burning in the 2007 camrys is a known issue. A google search prooves it. There are tons of posts from angry, once loyal toyota owners about this same problem. Toyota is very aware of the issue but they say it is "normal" for their cars to burn a quart every 600 miles so when you take your car to the dealership, they say there is nothing they can do, you should just keep putting oil in the car. Writing in to corporate doesn't help either. Someone needs to call toyota out on this!!! None of us know what to do to get this fixed or to make toyota take responsibility. Any help or advise you could provide would be most helpful!

Arrived at toyota dealership for an oil change and was told, I only had oil in my oil pan, engine was almost out of oil, toyota knows of the oil consumption problem as stated in there service bulletin. But will not honor my warranty, my car is still under warranty, toyota is tracking the expiration of my warranty.
Consumes about 3 quarts of oil at 3000 miles at oil change.
2,000 miles after an oil change I noticed that my oil light would come on sporadically. I checked the oil and it was three quarts low. The car only hold four quarts of oil, so this was especially concerning. A mechanic checked out my car and said that there were no leaks, everything was still factory sealed, and he didn't know why it was consuming so much oil. I had an oil change 1000 miles later, and 2000 miles after that I was low on oil again! According to things I've read, this car consumes roughly 1 quart of oil every 1,200 miles it is driven. This should be fixed by toyota.

My car is consuming oil out of normal. The dealer put me on oil consumption test last year. I was told that the oil consumption is ok. Now I have the same issue again. I was very low on oil almost I qt left in the engine. I checked the engine oil because the oil pressure light keeps popping up when I apply brakes. I went to the dealer again yesterday and they put me on oil consumption test again. I was reading the forums and everyone has the same issue. There is no solution recommended by toyota. We are told to keep coming back to the workshop every 1200 miles without a fix. Please help.
