Highly excessive oil consumption that has progressively gotten worse over time now up to 2 quarts in 1,200 miles! Toyota denies there is anything wrong which they must know is a lie!!!
Engine failed while driving. My engine was rebuilt (4 pistons, rings and all associated parts) by a toyota dealership due to oil consumption failure, less than 25,000 miles later my engine stopped running while I was driving with no indications (no lights, no smoke)at about 154,000 miles. 4,000 outside of the warranty. While driving the vsc and check engine light came on and the temperature gage went all the way down, when I tried to break to slow down the vehicle, the brakes did not work nor did the gas. I was able to move to the shoulder and let the vehicle slow down naturally until I popped the emergency brake. The vehicle has never overheated. Service rep said I lost compression due to a pressure building up in my engine, causing the head gasket and radiator to blow. Service rep said their is also a bad piston. Toyota service manager has not returned my call, corporate said they are partners with the local toyota dealership and there is nothing they can do.
Engine oil consumption
Engine seized when driving. Contacted toyota who told me the damage was likely related to an issue involving excessive oil consumption. Toyota was contacted and refused to help.
The care is burning oil at an alarming rate. So much so that the engine can fail and shut down during normal operating procedures this is dangerous, to me, my family and everyone else on the road. Toyota knows about the issues and hasn't recalled the cars to be fixed. Toyota should be held liable for any wrecks or damages caused by the know issue and should voluntary fix all vehicles with this issue. .
Excessive oil consumption
Oil burning consumption, my vehicle is constantly burning oil and when I went to the toyota of orlando dealership to have the oil consumption test done they advised my vehicle had passed the test, so due to them stating this they did not repair my vehicle , since then I have reached out to toyota and they too, are failing to do any repairs to the vehicle as now my vehicle is over the millage , but when I originally went and got the test done it was under the millage for them to fix it. I constantly have to keep putting oil in my vehicle and I don't think that is fair to me as they failed to do the repair.
Oil consumption. I need to add oil every 1100 to 1250 milage.
Oil consumption terrible pay more for oil than gas now should be recalled. Toyota checked it at 147,000 miles said 1 qt every 1000 ok I checked before taking in over 1 qt they lied this is bull should of been fixed and went over 150,000 won,t check it ant more crazy

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While the vehicle was parked in the contact's driveway, it caught on fire. The contact noticed flames under the hood. The fire department was contacted and extinguished the fire. No injuries were sustained. A police report was filed.

The car is using excessive amounts of oil. 4-6 quarts between 3000 mile oil changes! The problem has gotten increasingly worse since noticing an increase in consumption starting around 2016. Only after searching the internet for a fix was I made aware that this problem is well known by toyota. I never received any bulletins or recalls from toyota as they have claimed. I hope they will provide some type of help in repairing this issue as it is very costly to maintain, much less repair. Very disappointing from a seemingly reliable manufacturer that claims to build dependable vehicles.

Recently I have noticed that as I am applying the brake or taking a curve my oil light comes on. After doing some research I found there is an issue of oil consumption that is known. My car averages using a quart of oil every 800-1200 miles. This is not normal at all.
One or more of the threads that receive the head bolts are stripped, which caused a leaking head gasket and coolant is entering the cylinders. When starting/stopping, you can hear the coolant sloshing around. The cabin heat goes away and the engine overheats. The mechanic says this is a common problem for that engine. The head bolts are steel and the receiving threads are aluminum. Repair options are to put steel inserts into the aluminum or replace the engine. Both options are about the same in labor costs, but it was recommended to go with replacing the engine because the inserts would are likely to work loose in a few years. Replacing the with a refurbished engine will cost about $5500. Engineering 101...for a critical joint that is subject to vibration and heat/cooling cycles, never thread into aluminum!

This camry is using excessive amounts of oil, at the rate of about one qt every 400 miles.
Engine operates with excessive oil usage. Consumes/loses 1 quart of oil in 700 miles as of this filing date. I went to toyota service center at 12/2011 at 82,700 miles and they said no problem - 1 quart usage per 1000 miles is normal. Also, door locks stopped working at 45,000 miles or so.
I noticed recently that I was having to add oil between 3k oil change. Since then I habe discovered online the tsb 0094-11. I ran a ck on the odometer after adding oil and yes it is right at 1200 miles. That would mean 2qts of oil added between 3000 mi. Oil change.
On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 RPM) with all heat/AC etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when A/C is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance. May be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but I am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?

My car has excessive oil consumption. I had to put a quart of oil in after driving 150 miles! Also one of the seat belts in the back does not have any give, its tight, snaps back too quickly.
I bought 2009 toyota camry from used dealer in feb 2016. I had some other issues but not losing engine oil. On august 21st took the car for oil change and service adviser asked if my car lose oil. I said no. Then said well if you do lose oil then bring back and we will fix free of charge. Within few days engine oil warning light showed up, took to the same dealer and he said don't worry it will be fixed free. After 3 weeks no response from toyota, called them and found out that they cant repair it free as engine is not original on the car. I said I have now idea as I bought used, plus I never had this before, they sabotage my car to create a work so get paid by the toyota corp. This is not fair toyota having such reputation. Car has still toyota camry engine and driven miles 130k. If toyota will not address the issue, there will be a compaign against toyota from the first place as this car is no more reliable.
Problem description: my 2009 toyota camry is part of the ze7- warranty enhancement program for excessive oil consumption. My car did not experience this issue until late november and when the car was at 142,500 miles. I contacted toyota customer service and was advised that since the vehicle would be under 150,000 when the oil consumption test was initiated it still met the service guidelines. I took the vehicle to the dealership to initiate the test with the car still under 150,000 miles. Despite the dealer did the repairs, the oil excessive consumption still present. The car has diminished value due to this known issue and I have to either cover the repair cost or deal with the issue which includes constantly checking my oil to make sure it doesn't\'t run out and completely kill the engine. This is unacceptable. I would have never purchased this car had I known about this issue. Interested in class action?: yes
2 complaints: 1. When I depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where I have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, I pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. The camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles I have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.
I'm an owner of a toyota camry 2009 my name is [xxx] I have just learned today that there is a recall and I'm asking for help with the oil problem. I'm adding quarts of oil and before the maintenance date for an oil change I am being told there's no oil in your engine.
