My camry is having excessive engine oil consumption! I just went 2000 miles and I am out of oil. Toyota is saying my year and make should be burning 1 quart of oil every 1000-1200 miles and that is normal. Have they lost there minds!!! That is not normal!!!! There is a serious problem with there engine. To say a issue is normal shows there integrity. I do my maintenance when I am to do so. I have a show car that I have put alot of money in and now im forced to pay for there mess ups..
So after loving my 2007 toyota camry for many good years, my heartache started when it began using oil to the tune of visible loss on dipstick at 800 miles. I was shocked to find little or no oil on the dip stick so I started watching it closely. I confirmed that my 2007 toyota camry car burns a bit more than 2 quarts every 800-1000 miles. I later found out about the oil consumption issue by researching this problem in the internet and found this site on https://www.docdroid.net/pehbl1s/toyota-letter-ze7.pdf.html. I called toyota and asked them about the excessive oil consumption on my 2az-fet and I told them I own 2007 toyota camry 4cyl le, they asked if I had received the oil consumption issue notice via toyota. I told them I never rec'd notice and was told I was time barred, was not eligible to get it fixed? My car is out of warranty as the primary coverage offered warranty enhancement ended on october 31, 2016 regardless of mileage and the secondary coverage was applicable for 10 years from the (dofu) date of first use or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. My car has done 158000 miles. I need help
Vehicle has a oil consumption issue that has lead to engine failure. Vehicle consumes oil quickly without signs of oil leak. We changed the oil and discovered it was using a large amount of oil in a short time period. Driver was not aware oil was being consumed at such a high rate. Driver only discovered issue after recently changing oil and checking it. The only reason we checked the oil is because we heard knocking sounds from the engine. When we checked the dip stick it had no oil.
This vehicle uses an excessive amount of oil that could result in engine failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle began to vibrate and stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart on the second attempt; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the piston rings failed and needed to be rebuilt. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the dealer mentioned there was a technical service bulletin, but the contact exceeded the expiration date. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
I have just purchased the car one month ago as a preowned one. After about 15 days the oil lid turned on while I was moving to my school. I filled in the car with an original oil. I checked the oil stick after I left the car for 4 hours and it was at the max level. Two weeks later, I checked again the oil in the car using the oil stick and it was below min tick. I have already replaced the valve gasket cover but the same issue still there. By the way, the car doesn't show any black or blue smoke in the exhaust and there is no sign of oil leak on the engine outside body. The car is no longer on warranty. I am frusterated and I don't know what to do!.
Toyota will not honor recall of bad rings. Have wasted many work days at dealer ship. Have gotten proof that there is a problem they refuse to honor extension. Burns 2 and a 1/4 quarts of oil in 1100 miles!
Excessive oil consumption between oil changes.
New water pump installed at time of purchase in 2013 at 89k miles. Engine currently at 151k miles as of 10/2016 and water pump needs replacing again. Estimated ~$1200+ for 15hrs labor and parts.
Toyota has a recall on a number of vehicles because of a piston ring design flaw. Last year they tested my 2007 camry and said it was ok. Actually, it burned 1 quart of oil (I just found out from customer care) but toyota says it must burn 1.5 quarts of oil to qualify. I was told that the car was ok. My oil light went on less than 2000 miles in to my last oil change. The car was 3 quarts low on oil! The dealership says that it definitely has the design flaw--but they have to run another test to verify what I have told them. Now here is the zinger---I have one week to drive 1100 miles. That is because toyota has said this recall ends then. Somehow I am responsible for their engineering design flaw, their inability to diagnose my vehicle the first time, and their unilateral setting of an expiration date. I do not believe that this is fair or reasonable. Perhaps they will see the light or extend the final date for me? I cannot drive 1100 miles this week. I would if my schedule allowed it.
After 1200 miles, I took the car back to toyota for second part of their oil consumption test, and was told it didn't use any oil. After picking up my car up from my trusted mechanic (who said 2/3 of toyota's recommended repairs totaling over $1600 were not true), I was told he had to add oil b/c it was low. This is yet another example of toyota lying to customers so they do not have to incur costs or issue a valid recall. They claim burning oil is "normal", and only if their "test" proves so, they would replace the piston rings - they are lying about these test results to avoid having to do the expensive repair.
2007 toyota camry bought used with 62,500 miles on october 4, 2016. On october 8th I was exiting off the highway slowly easing off the gas pedal to decrease my speed and my car shuts down!!!! Stops running !!! I lost the power steering of course. Did at least two and a half 360's until I came to a stop in the middle of a 3 lane road. It happened so fast I have no idea how I kept it from leaving the road. Took it back to the dealer I purchased it from. They couldn't find anything wrong with the front end. Their thoughts are it shut off and to go buy fuel injector the next time I get gas. I could have been seriously injured with this happening. Now I'm so paranoid about driving the car and feel very unsafe.
The engine is eating about 1 quart of oil every 2500 miles. The car currently has 145,000 miles. Car was checked by 2 mechanics and no oil leak was detected.
My 2007 toyota camry xle is burning oil and I always have to be adding oil, I took it to toyota dealership after I received a notice on the mail about my car having a warranty problem, excessive oil consumption. They said that the car was fine and they did an oil consumption test and I took it back after 1200 miles and according to them there was no problem, this started more than a year ago and I'm still having the same problem.
2007 camry ce, problem started with car having 75k miles. Car now has 102k miles. Oil consumption is increasing. Now consuming 1-2 quarts every other week. There are no oil leaks any where. No leaks underneath engine, on top of engine, and any where visible or at all. No oil leaks! But oil is required regardless every other week! Car is stationary when oil is checked. Cause of problem (I am told by dealership mechanics that oil consumption problem is caused by "bad" rings in the engine). The dealership mechanic say they see that problem often with the year, model, and make of car. No paperwork provided.
Abs and brake light comes on and the odometer an tachometer stop working or go up and down wildly at the same time the air conditioner blows hot air. Also excessively burning oil 1 to 2 quarts per 1000 miles.
Excessive oil consumption car has about 88,000 miles and the oil light came on about halfway between oil changes. I took it to perryville tire to have oil checked--was told I had none. Took it back to the dealer and they did an oil consumption test, which they told me it passed after they added 1 quart of oil and that this is normal oil consumption. This is ridiculous--I have owned many vehicles and none burned oil at this rate. Normal--bah, humbug. I do have the extended warranty which covers up to 100,000 miles. I do believe toyota is trying to run out the warranty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle a thumping noise was present coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the oil level was extremely low and the vehicle had experienced excessive oil consumption failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
1) front headlamps burn weak and plastic lens covers yellowed over time, latter problem of which is that lenses can't be cleaned by either commercial auto solvents or by local mechanic, creating safety hazard for driving at night. Price quoted for parts alone via toyota is $818 for headlamp set, plus labor. I have owned 2 other camry models and never had any issue with headlamp obfuscation due to lens material or bulb composition. This vehicle's headlamp lens composition is filmy to cloudy to naked eye in daylight, not nearly crystal clear as when new.. Even if bulbs were replaced the lens would obscure radius and length of headlamp for any night distance driving other than heavily lit streets. Must use high beams at night when possible and when not hazard to oncoming drivers. Even high beam distance dull. Noticed while driving on highway and other cars illuminate their own pathway far better than my own. Night time driving on rural, semi-rural, county, suburban or unlighted state and local highways in particular are a hazard. 2) engine has regularly burned 1 quart of oil about every 1,000 miles since car had clocked 60k miles. Underwent oil test under extended recall bulletin via toyota and it deemed car within specs (time of year and type of oil can vary amount of oil burned but recommended 5w20 results in 2-3 quarts a month burned off, no leaks, 75% highway driving.). Bigger issue is oil can get dangerously low (at least quarter inch below dipstick low level) and no dashboard warning light comes on. Oil levels must be checked manually at least weekly and/or at fill-up to ensure oil tank has enough oil. Generally have been adding 2 to 3 quarts a month. Despite tech bulletin recommendations, toyota says I am ineligible for mechanical remediation. Car currently runs and has 160k miles +/- on it. Date below is approximate for 60k mileage..
Went to have my oil check because my engine light came on / my mechanic check the oil stick there was no oil in the car at all. So he check to make sure there was no oil leak there was none. That is when we went to the web site and found out about the oil complication problem. Touch my car to scott clark toyota and they said there was a recall on my car. They had me drive it a couple of weeks until I reached the mileage they needed for me to get it tested again took it back on 7/23/16 it passed the test and they told me that it was good and that it was only lossing a quart of oil . They would not fix my car because it passed the test. Now I have a car that I need to have repaired because I do not have the money to get another car. With me driving the car with the oil light coming on was my sign to stop and have it checked. If I would have not the engine would have blowned. So I need to know what I can do to now to get these people to fix my car asap.they also told me that it would be six months down the road before I could get it repaired because they already had a backlog of cars that are waiting to be repaired. This was before they let me know it had passed the test. Brad bennick of scott clark toyato told me I could drive my car another 200,00 more miles with this oil problem. I know that if you have a oil leake there's know way you can continue to drive a car with that problem. So I need someone to help me in this matter. Scott clarks is a place I thought cared about there customers but I will not be buying another car from them or telling anyone to purchase a car from this company. So what should I do? This happen on 6/11/16 and took my car in on 6/13/16 for the first oil test.
Excessive oil consumption dip stick bone dry after 1,000 miles or so of use.

Toyota sent me an oil consumption test letter and upon taking it to ralph hayes toyota to do the test I was told my car did not qualify. I performed the test myself and found it used one or more quarts of oil in the 1300 miles suggested in the letter. The car emits a large cloud of oil smoke on morning start ups.
My vehicle not only got an extremely sticky dashboard but it also started burning oil in between oil changes. I had every recall taken care of as soon as I received it at & also kept up with all of the maintenance on my vehicle at a certified mechanic shop. I have all of my service records & witnesses. The end of 2015 my car started burning an excessive amount of oil in between oil changes. I ended up taking it to the mechanic & he was adding oil in between oil changes stating it was normal for it to burn oil. They also went with a thicker oil to try to fix it.I was also adding oil whenever it started getting low. Well my car overheated & cracked my head gasket. After going onto toyotas website & typing my VIN number in, it states there aren't any recalls or service campaigns. I started saving money up to have my engine replaced so it's been sitting for months. After realizing I couldn't possibly afford it, I went online to get blue book values to sell it.I found out there were 2 tsbs covering my dashboard & my engine burning oil. They are saying something was mailed to me even though I know if I would have received anything I would have had it fixed immediately.after contacting an attorney who had a class action lawsuit against toyota, he stated to me that nothing was mailed out to customers. After contacting 2 toyota dealerships & toyota service, they both ran my VIN # & it shows the warranty enhancement for both problems.customers did not have access to this unless they called the dealership.toyota service stated to me the only way they would replace anything to do with my engine is if an oil consumption test is run, well my engine is burned up.if my car was being worked on by a certified mechanic & I have service records proving all of my recalls & maintenance was done, they should honor that.there are lots of complaints from other owners stating the same things.
I adhered to the recall ze7 oil consumption test notice issued by toyota. Over the next 6months water/coolant was leaking into my engine through what I learned could have been a faulty engine head gasket. My 2007 camry had never run hot before toyota took my engine apart and put it back together. They do not want to admit their error. The oil dip stick showed signs of water oil mixture. Later it was like milk. This is when the engine stopped on me in rush hour traffic from over heating. I have been working with the dealer and toyota headquarters since april 2016 to resolved this. Got the run around. Some technician was scheduled to review this in april and may 2016 but has not. What should I do?
