Car consumes a lot of oil where the engine may run out of oil and seize up. I'm afraid to drive the car without constantly checking the oil level. The car can use around a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I've been low 2.5 quarts out of 4.5 qt capacity which I beleive damage the engine.
Letter from senator warren on behalf of constituent in regards to toyota unwilling to fix car. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle experienced excessive engine oil consumption. The manufacture was notified and denied assistance due to the vehicle not being located in USA. The consumer is in the united states military stationed in germany. Therefore, the manufacturer would not honor the warranty. The consumer believed the manufacturer should make an exception for military personnel. Updated 09/20/2017*js
Excessive oil comsumption to the point of engine failure while operating the vehicle. We have the oil changed every 5000 miles and are adding at least 4 to 5 quarts of oil between changes.
My toyota camry engine is burning excessive oil I dont want this car to blow up on me while driving
I have taken fairly good care of my car throughout the time I have had it which is almost 10 years but the mileage is only at 130,000. I was driving one day and the car completely turned off but I had never had anything like this happen before, even never had any significant problems with the car so this came as a surprise. I had just had the oil changed about 2 weeks prior and had regular maintenance done at that time as well. I took the car to my mechanic and they believed they knew what the problem was since the check engine light was appearing. They fixed said problem but they realized the car was still displaying the check engine light and also revving. They suggested I take the car to the toyota dealer so they could read what was happening and why the check engine light was on and the car was not running properly. They ended up diagnosing that one of the cylinders was misfiring and that the engine needed a complete overhall/replacement. The estimate given was $6000 for the engine (this site did not accept this amount) and another amount which I can't recall for the labor. I have not yet decided what I will do but wanted to look up any engine recalls or issues others were having with their camrys and came upon this site.
I bought this car brand new. For the past 4 years I've experienced more that average engine oil consumption. I contacted the toyota dealership last year regarding this. They informed me that my car qualified for the recall on excessive oil consumption test. When the first test results came out I was informed that my car passed the test and that it didn't qualify for the recall repairs. When the following oil change was due I took my car to another toyota dealership just to get the second opinion on the oil consumption test. I informed them that this would be the second time I was requesting the oil consumption test for my vehicle. Surprisingly the results came out the same way, that my car passed the test. As of recent, the situation has become worse. I'm supposed to turn in my car at the toyota dealership for an oil change every 5,000 miles per toyota standards, but after about 700 to 800 miles my engine begins giving noises when I turn on the car, which over time I came to learn that this kind of noise is an indication that the oil level is very low and I need to add more oil. My car is not leaking any oil, it's consuming more oil than how it's supposed to. I am considering doing the oil consumption test to another reputable dealership with no connections with toyota to see how the results are going to be. In the meantime I would like to request a help from the federal safety agency because I believe toyota needs to be accountable to their actions. Thank you
Toyota issued tsb for "excessive oil consumption". I went to the dealership for their 'test' (I.e., more than 1 qt of oil in 1,200 miles) and just barely "passed". But the problem grows worse over time and now burns oil extremely quickly. But toyota told me today that since the care is now more than 10 years old, there is nothing they will do for me. Why won't toyota just do a "recall" to fix this obvious problem?
Excessive oil consumption over 1qt at every 1200 miles
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. When the contact purchased the vehicle, an oil change was performed due to the lack of oil in the reservoir. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (toyota certified at capital plaza, 6100 annaoplis road, landover hills, md, 20784) where the oil cap was taped down. The contact was instructed to drive the vehicle for 2,000-3,000 miles before a diagnostic test could be performed. The vehicle failed the oil consumption test. The contact was informed that the timing chain, piston, and rings failed and needed to be replaced. The same dealer advised the contact that the parts to repair the vehicle were on backorder; however, the dealer was able to repair the timing chain. The contact mentioned that the engine began to make a knocking noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing belt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
Recently purchased car wit 85,000 miles not at 92,000 we realize it is using a quart of oil every 300 to 500 miles. This is unrealistic and have heard of numerous complaints and actions that I was unaware of by toyota
Oil consumption .. In driving the car in the city and I checked the oil every morning there is oil consumption and I need help in this issue
Bought car used a year ago. Had oil consumption test done at 74,000 miles within time frame allowed. Was told engine was good. Now, at 80,000 miles oil is at bottom tip of oil dip stick. I called dealer where oil consumption test was done. Was told "we only added a quart..." at test's conclusion. I was not told at the time of the oil consumption test's conclusion that a "quart was added." since I was not told a quart was added, I wasn't aware I had to watch my oil. Upon starting the vehicle, oil light flashed briefly but I couldn't make-out what it was. Following day, upon starting vehicle, it flashed again. Another day and it stays on very briefly but long enough for me to figure that it was the oil light. I let car sit on flat surface for an hour, checked oil and it just touched tip of dipstick. I added two quarts of oil.
The dashboard is melting and the car burns oil fast
My car loses oil at the rate of a quart and a half every 500 miles or so. It has been repaired for an obvious leak at the top of the engine, but continues to lose oil at this rate. I have been told by three mechanics now that this is common in camrys. If it is so common, it needs to be addressed by toyota.
High oil consumption and excessive oil burning. Last oil change, the tech stated check oil reguarly (every 2 weeks) car is burning oil. There are no oil leaks.
The engine locked up and failed while on a over night trip leaving passengers stranded in the dark in the middle of the night. The oil light came on only minutes before, not allowing for adequate time to intervene. We were unaware at the time of the engines problem with excessive burning of oil. The garage mechanics were expecting to find an oil leak as the problem for the engine burning up and were surprised to find no leak. The car was purchased 8 months ago, pre-owned with 72,000 miles on it. When the engine failed it had 89,000 miles on it and $9000 left on the loan. Reluctant to pay thousands to have the engine replaced since the engine is known to have this recurring problem.
Known issue of excessive oil consumption where the oil change light comes on just into 1,000 miles after changing oil. The local dealer at ira toyota of tewksbury, ma.01876 - tried to fix the problem the first time but the problem came back or was still there. I have since complained to toyota us at 1‑800‑331‑4331 they opened a case#1701232302 for my issue but now say that the local toyota and even regional stores cannot take my car back to fix it again the local store says that I am out of warranty because I came back after 14,379 miles I am now stuck with a car that has already stopped on me right in the middle of the street - with the steering wheeling blocking suddenly and for me having to veer quickly on the curb while the steering wheel is hard to control. I can hear a squeeling noise when I change gears ( manual car) and when I put the foot on the clutch. The car shakes a lot when I change gears and I am about to stop. I am afraid for my safety and of course lots of inconveniences because I cannot use this car for many activities involving my family or just anywhere past 10 miles of my house. I am hoping that I can get help with this issue which is a known issue by toyota, an issue that they did not fix properly in the first place and now they are just hoping that I can go away by denying me my rights to proper service. I told toyota us that it does not make sense how a known issue can be fixed and just within 1 year it comes back.
Engine excessive oil consumption
Takata recall: I took my 2007 toyota camry 4 cyl for the bulletin it has of oil consuption and it pass the test twice, I knew there was something wrong but as the technicians told me it was okay I drove it like that for some months still had to add every 1,000 miles 1 q of oil. Kept doing this until my engine blew. Now irs my fault and they dont want to pay for the repair. Total unjustice from toyota.
Every since I purchase this car it has been using excessive oil.ever so often the blinking oil light would come on causing me to stop and pour oil in.zthis has occurred in motion and on city highways.
The car keeps consuming too much oil. I have to put in new oil about every 1,000 miles.
I am needing to add at least 1 quart of oil to my car every 1,000-1,200 miles. My car does not have an oil leak. Toyota stated that they will not fix the problem because I and not the time frame to fix it.
Excessive oil consumption
I brought my car in 2015 and when I told the person at mechanicsville toyota that my brakes were making a noise they informed me to bring to the shop. When I did the mechanic's stated that there was nothing wrong with it. And for the past two years they have told me nothing wrong and now everything associated with that is wrong. All of a sudden when I spoke to am anger the same thins I stated was wrong with it is now what is wrong with it. The ABS acuator...
Hi, please find the attachment. Thanks
Excessive oil usage
The engine oil has burned up. Have almost no oil left after getting oil change less than 3000 miles ago. The is no oil leakage on driveway where car is parked. Oil filter is on tight and oil cap is on. My wife said she was getting a warning light of some kind that day so I checked the oil when she told me. I took my car, bought and added 4 qts of high mileage oil and zmax treatment to minimize any potential damage.
Excessive engine oil use. Oil blows out of the tail pipe. The buildup for oil residue at the tail pipe makes me very concerned about the possibility of a fire. Went through the local dealer was told there was no problem or oil use. Had the local mechanic look at it and he found excessive oil consumption. Now here we are with a defective engine and a complete lack of trust in the car either mechanically or for safety. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I recently bought a 2007toyota camry december 2016 and ever since I bought it, it has been consuming too much oil. It would burn my full tank of oil at around 1k-1.2k miles after an oil change. I,'m afraid that this much oil consumption will eventually lead to wrecking the motor and probably causing an accident. Toyota had a warranty for this type of issue but it expired last year. And I had no idea about this until just recently searching for this type of problem. To fix this problem in which I was not aware of in the first place, the only solution to this would be a recall.
