I have continuously had issues with my cars ignition coils and vsc system. The check engine light and vsc system light is always on and even though I've spent thousands of od dollars on repairs the light continues to pop up even with regular maintenance and multiple repairs. My car misfires and turns off randomly this is very dangerous to drive but I have no other means of transportation. The car misfires in idle,while driving at low and high speeds and it wont turn on sometimes until I connect jumper cables to the battery. When I connect the jumper cables I never need an extra source of power I simply connect one end of the cables to the battery and a few seconds later it all the lights turn on again and the car restarts the whole system.
Suddenly oil consumption has gone up drastically. Using additional quart of oil every 750 miles. Talk with toyota representative,according to them "I am off my own as because extended warranty expired."
After the car engine odometer hit 70.000 the car started to burn oil more than normal. I took the car for an oil change and the car had very little oil. Since then I had to add 3 quarts of oil in between oil change at 78.000 and 2 quarts of oil in between oil change at 83.000 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the manufacturer had not notified the vehicle owner by mail that the vehicle was included in a warranty enhancement campaign: ze7 as the failure progressed. The dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the statute had expired to receive the remedy from the manufacturer warranty enhancement program. The dealer gault toyota (2205 north st, endicott, ny 13760, (607) 748-1421) had provided more than 2 oil consumption tests but had not provided a permanent remedy to repair the vehicle yet. The contact was also uncertain if the failure was related to an oil consumption tsb 0158-14 and was waiting for a response from the dealer and the manufacturer to determine a permanent fix. The vehicle was not repaired yet. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact was waiting for a follow up response to determine a diagnosis and repair. The approximate failure mileage was not available.
Takata recall. My 2007 camry le is burning about 1qt/600 oil. The vehicle was in a parking lot when I checked it. Toyota admits this oil consumption issue as a manufacturing defect and still not issuing a recall. I have to add oil regularly between oil changes so that my car doesn't get stranded in the middle of the highway.
High oil consumption, I bought it from a dealership. Fix is 5000-7000$, toyota is not willing to fix since it surpassed the warranty time period. I am completely helpless. It drinks oil like and I cant see any signs on the ground.
In 2013, I suspected there was an issue with oil consumption & asked the mb service center to begin investigating the issue. At that time, the warranty that came with the car was still active. I returned after driving 1,000-1,200 miles & was told that they were not able to ascertain whether there was a true issue and that it would cost me $800 to open the engine. I left the dealership. In early 2016, I received the t-sb-0158-14 service bulletin from toyota notifying me that I could take the car in to have this exact issue resolved at no cost. I took the car in to the culver city location, but I returned 3 hours later to find that no work had been done. A member of the service team advised that there was an oil leak that needed to be repaired before they could begin the consumption test. This is my first issue with toyota's service. Toyota shifted the responsibility to have this oil leak fixed on to me even though I made them aware of an oil related issue more than 2 years prior. A knowledgeable service center member would have known that defective pistons and rings is a directly related cause of a leak. Being that I was not a knowledgeable consumer at that time, the service center was able to shift this responsibility on to me. I had the oil leak repaired and attempted to have this issue addressed a 3rd time when I called to schedule a service appointment in november 2016. The person who answered the phone asked what the reason was for my visit. I explained that I wanted to come back to initiate the oil consumption test and was advised that I had just missed the cut off and that they were not repairing any more vehicles after october 31, 2016. This is my second issue with culver city toyota's service. There was secondary coverage available for me at that time and I was not made aware of that option. My car would have been eligible for repairs on all three occasions
Excessive engine oil usage. 1 plus quarts of oil every 1000 miles approx. Engine has approx 91000 miles on it.
My toyota 2007 camry is leaking excessive amount of oil, there was a recall , but I did not get notification of this problem ,until I was online searching for answers to find out why my car, was requiring so much oil, I saw a article which stated that this was a manufacture defect, I notified toyota about this, they denied my claim. I even called the dealership where I purchased the car mar jacobs in durham n.c. Mar jacobs stated that there was nothing he could do except try to ge me to buy a new car, no thanks , I just want my car fixed, because this affects my engine and if want to sale my car the value goes down, because of this manufacture defect. I am constantly buying oil for my car every week , which adds up in price. I would like or toyota honor the recall , its not my fault that this happened to my car.
Toyota dealership performed their "warranty enhancement" test on my car in 2016 to see if it qualified for their known oil consumption coverage and repair. It did not see their criteria. Now my car is consuming 1 quart of oil nearly every 1000 miles and they will not cover the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving at an unknown speed, the speedometer gauge failed to provide the correct reading and the ABS control module and emergency warning indicators illuminated. Also the cooling component of the air conditioner failed to function. Furthermore, while at a stop sign, the vehicle began to power down. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
Toyota has admitted on 2011 in its technical service bulletin that the engine defect in my 2007 toyota camry exhibits excessive oil consumption due to the design defect of the 2az-fe engine. It requires a piston assembly change to minimize oil consumption however the toyota dealership refuses to repair it at their own cost, this is a very significant repair costing thousands of dollars to fix. They notified me that they will not cover repairs to the engine due to an arbitrary 150,000 mile limit and a very limited time window between 2015 to 2016, after I had already spent money on repairs. This also diminshes the value of my car and more importantly exposes our family to significant safety issues. The engine continues to lose oil, and the engine becomes completely depleted of oil at the time of an oil change (every 3,000 miles) which can lead to engine failure in a moving vehicle and potential injury and loss of life. This is a very serious defect and toyota refuses to fix.
2007 camry started consuming oil like crazy around 100,000. Coolant also starting to disappear.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving uphill with the cruise control engaged at approximately 60 MPH, the cruise control failed to disengage when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the transmission failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and case number: 1803150976 was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000. *tt consumer stated the cruise control requested power, electronic failure between cruise, engine and transmission, causing engine RPM to accelerate with no power from transmission. I hit brake pedal to keep engine from being damaged. Few seconds later transmission thumped/clunked. Transmission damaged from that point. I drove car without cruise control till new transmission was installed. Updated 10/15/18
Around 100,000 miles I noticed my camry engine was consuming more oil than it did previously. Now it's consuming around a quart every 1200 miles.
Air compressor no good had it replaced at the dealer but not working, replaced engine due to over use of oil dealership stated it was normal use
Oil light was flashing, so I took to my mechanic. He said the oil had used 3qts in less than a month (last oil change) and that the coolant was bone dry. It turns out its a head gasket/engine issue. He let me know he had multiple 2007 camrys with this issue, and that the dealership has an open 'campaign'? Or recall. I have left a message for the local toyota dealership
On july 9, 2018, vehicle was taken to a toyota dealership for regular maintenance and to check on intermittent engine knocking. We were told that there was a problem with the pistons and cost for repair would be $4,400.00. Repair would include: kits, clamps, hoses, pistons and piston pins. Vehicle was taken to a second toyota dealer who suggested either a used engine or a rebuilt one. Estimated cost would be between $5,000.00 and $6,000.00
(1) ABS module has an intermittent short. When it fails the speedometer stops working, ABS and brake light on dash come on, temp gauge and tach fluctuate, and the A/C stops working. The short in module was diagnosed by a toyota dealer. I understand electrical components go bad but for it to effect the speedometer and A/C seems like a poor design. (2) on several occasions my engine oil light has come on. Apparently there are issues with excessive oil consumption in some model toyotas with piston rings flaws. Dealer has done oil consumption tests but unable to reproduce problem.
Toyota recall - the engine is burning too much oil which causes the engine to fail and oil to burn at an accessive rate. I have complainted of this to a the priority service department. I have to put oil in the vehicle often. There was a warranty enhancement for this problem which toyota admitted there was a problem however I was never informed even when I constantly complained of the engine. The engine has falty parts and there should be a recall to fix these parts
Started having issues with car overheating. Replaced water pump but check engine light came on and had the code for a misfire. Ended up being the head gasket. This car is well maintained. In researching this, I have found that several toyota owners have had head gasket issues and there was also a recall on the 4runner head gasket.
Engine burns one quart of oil every 1000 miles.toyota knows about this problem and says it's normal for a vehicle to burn oil after time.
The engine is burning oil. There was a previous recall however, I was not notified of the burning of the oil in the engine. For over 2 years, I have complained about the oil burning in my car and have called numerous of times to complaint that my oil light was on with a few weeks of getting a oil change. I paid numerous of times for additional oil for my car and took it back to the dealership many times because there was no oil in my car. I was told the car is older and the more miles on the car, the vehicle will burn lots of oil. I had my car in the shop many times for oil changes and repairs for previous recalls however, I was never notified of the engine oil burning recall in my vehicle. After being notified by a rental car representative at a toyota dealership about an oil consumption test, I called priority chevrolet greenbrier to get the test done since I have been taking my vehicle to that priority dealership because of the speed of getting an appointment for my oil changes. I was told I need to go to priority toyota to have it done since my car is a toyota. Never once have a service representative advise me of the burning of oil with 07 camry. Now that I have the oil consumption test done, the service rep says that the recall has expired even though I was not made aware of the recall and that I have to pay $2,200 for the repair. I believe, I am entitle to this repair knowing that toyota never notified me and that I have been having this issue for years and not one service person has the decency to inform me of this recall.
The engine burns 1.5 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Toyota told me that the tsb expired at the end of 2016 and were unwilling to pay for any repairs.
My 07 camry 2.4l ce, has an excessive oil consumption. I have to fill oil in the engine every 1000-1500 miles with 1-2qt.
Car has been using 1 quart of oil every 500 miles since 2014
2007 toyota camry se 2.4l 4 cyl, consumes oil at a staggering rate. Due to this increased rate of oil consumption, increased maintenance costs inevitably occur. This oil consumption occurs any time the car's engine is running, occurring even more at high speeds of operation. The car will occasionally lurch when being driven, creating opportunity for an accident to occur in the wrong conditions. Before driving for prolonged high speeds, I check the oil level to ensure there is enough to prevent a seized engine. The results of such a problem would be catastrophic at high speeds. These increased maintenance costs as well as the potential dangers caused by the increased oil consumption of my car provide more than ample justification for an official complaint.
Burning 1 qt of oil every 600 miles
