My car is excessively burning oil. I have a 2007 toyota camry le. I have my oil change every 3,00 to 5,000 miles at the toyota dealer. My oil level would go low between oil changes. My husband would constantly check and add oil between oil changes. My husband asked me to ask the toyota dealer to check to see if I had an oil leak. The dealer told me I did not have an oil leak and they did not know why my oil level was going low between oil changes. After my husband did some research, he found out the 2007 toyota camry has a problem with their engines excessively burning oil. Toyota and the dealer knew there is an issue with that type of engine burning oil excessively and they did not tell me! Who is going to fix this, it's not my fault?!

My 2007 toyota camry has been blowing blue smoke since I bought the car back in 2014, which I purchased through a dealership. After anytime I start my car after sitting for a couple of hours it will blow blue smoke each time. I get my oil changed way more often then I should to try and prevent the smoke, I check my oil once a week, and no matter what I do it continues to blow blue smoke.

I am filing complaint on 2007 camry because of excessive oil consumption. From research on issue, I understand that safety issues can occur due to the engines siezing up and the car can quit running while I'm driving. Not sure about engine catching fire. I have persued different avenues with toyota to correct issue since the problem stems from factory engineering. But to no avail. This was already an issue at time I purchased vehicle with 64,190 miles. However, I was not informed of any tsb nor received any notifications of problems. I have had car serviced approximately every 3,000 miles with motorcraft oil. It was not until 8-25-17 when I was asked to sign a disclaimer letting me know oil was off dipstick. When I checked previous records I found out the camry had been low on oil ( off stick) each time serviced. (my 1997 camry I owned prior to this 2007 never used any oil in between changes and it had 176,000 miles on it when I let it go). Thus, after the 8-25-17 service and doing research I became aware of toyota's issues and thus began a fruitless battle with toyota. It seems that even though I began following up with toyota as soon as I became aware of issue 8-25-17 that my dofu was 6-27-07. Due to no fault of my own I just missed the deadline. However, I believe wholeheartedly that this is their responsibility and that toyota should stand behind their product since it is an engineering problem.

There is a defect in the engine where the oil is leaking and burning in the engine, I did not receive the initial notifications. When I called toyota of gastonia, they advised me that it would not be covered under the recall. I found out today that it would have been covered due to the second clause of 10 years of first use. I was still well with in the time frame, but I was not told that was an option. And they are telling me that they will not fix it.

Dear sir/ madam, I have had my car toyota camry since 2009(it is a 2007 model). In the july of 2017 my car started using more oil than usual with frequent top -offs. I had the car checked at toyota dealership (dublin toyota in dublin, california in july 2017) and they informed me that my car 's engine could be defective since a toyota bulletin for defective engine repair had been released for that model. I had taken my car to toyota dealerships (gladstone toyota in portland, oregon) several times before that for other recall notices such as the accelerator getting stuck etc. But no one had informed me of this bulletin or defect. I've also received recall notices from toyota for other repairs for which I promptly took my car to their dealerships. But I have not received the extended warranty policy bulletin for this problem via mail or email to this date. Dublin toyota employees suggested I call the company to resolve this problem otherwise I would have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket if I chose to get it repaired. I called toyota and spoke to a manager but they refused to help or repair the engine stating that my car was a few hundred miles out of warranty per the technical service bulletin. Now, my car consumes oil very quickly and I must and have to top it off every 12-15 days. It has a mileage of around 164000 at present. Regardless, my point is: 1) I was never informed of this defect by the company(toyota) 2) this is a manufacturing defect and this should not have a mileage limit on it. I need this car for commuting to work and I have already been affected by the wildfires in santa rosa, california. I would appreciate your attention to this matter or can you connect me to the right organization /agency/ person who could help me with this issue?

Oil consumption

Filed Nov 9, 2017 · Engine · IA

Excessive oil consumption. I was never made aware that my toyota had this problem until I reached 100,000 which just happened recently. According to toyota, my option for coverage ended 8/2016. I'm being punished for having conservative miles. Criminal and deceiptful.

I know it has been quite some time since all of this was done. I just have not felt up to voicing my complaint. Unhappy with toyota service at herrin gear toyota in jackson, ms.

The engine burns through the oil in about 2500 miles. I have to carry around extra oil to refill it at a moments notice. I am worried about the engine freezing up as I am driving.

Excessive engine oil consumption: my 2007 toyota camry is consuming 1 quart of engine oil every 1,200 miles based on a latent design defect in the engine pistons and piston rings. Toyota issued a technical service bulletin and set the oil consumption levels at a ridiculous level (1.2 quarts per 1,200 miles) and they continue to reject my request to pay to fix the problem. They say this is normal. Funny none of my other 5 toyota's have ever done this!! I strongly believe this is a safety issue with my vehicle and has a significant monetary cost to fix the issue. Toyota knows they have a problem and wouldn't pay to fix the issue.

Excessive oil consumption - not safe my family is extremely loyal to the toyota brand and we have never had any major issues with an of our vehicles in the past. I noticed that my 2007 camry se 2.4l v4 had been burning oil extremely fast a little over a year ago.at first, a mechanic told me that I needed to change my valve cover gasket as that was what he presumed to be the root cause of the issue. After I paid to get that replaced I noticed that my engine was still burning oil at an extremely fast rate. I proceeded to change my pcv valve and switch to a synthetic-blend. Nothing at all has helped with the oil consumption. It is draining my pockets and time. Multiple mechanics have confirmed that there are no oil leaks. I am so disappointed because this issue is extremely draining and unsafe.my car burns over 1 quart every thousand miles. I believe there is an issue with my engine, I've read similar complaints about this and need to get this fixed. I hope that toyota can help me with this issue.
