Filed Sep 12, 2019 · Engine · 233,000 miles · LA

The first incident happend on 8/3/2019, my oil light blinked on and off and it was not time for an oil change. So I checked it the next day and I had no oil in my car. Well it happened again tonight 9/12/2019, I have synthetic oil and the light litteraly just came on at the 5k mark. Leaving my mom the oil light blinked on and off again. Took to oreily and I had no oil in the car. I do not have a leak so obviously my car is now burning oil like all the other complaints. Come on toyota, you guys need to do better with this and recall the 2010's as well before I blow up my engine.

The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.

The engine burns oil excessively 2 qts per oil change every 3000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway from lack of oil on a long trip and if I do not check every week during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 5 years ago at a smaller rate 1/2 -1 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. The price to fix this problem was quoted by the dealer at $5000.

Engine consumes oil at an accelerated rate. Toyota dealership confirmed that the engine on the 2010 toyota camry se is consuming oil. They advised that there have been recalls on other vehicles however it skipped this vehicle year. Toyota has not provided an option for repair aside from dismantling the engine and rebuilding at my expense. Vehicle requires oil changes and/or oil replenishment almost every 600-1200 miles

Initially, I thought I may have been imagining things but over this summer I noticed that my car was burning oil so fast, that I needed an oil change every 1000 miles. Recently, I got my oil changed at the end of august 2018, used ow-20 full synthetic and two weeks later, the oil had burned out. Last week on 9/13/18, I put 4 quarts in and today I checked my dipstick and it nearly dry. I am afraid that this matter will only continue to get worse. I don't understand how toyota wouldn't recall vehicles that are a safety danger.

Engine was making noise ans intermittently stalled. Took the dealer. He charged $135 for the diagnosis and said the engine is burning excessive oil. Real solution is to replace the engine for $4500. He did not offer any compensation. I got the engine oiled filled and drove back home. The car is useless for me. I cannot sell it or trade it. It is a junk now.

Toyota dropped the ball and didn't recall this engine oil consumption issue. I check recalls frequently. Now I'm stuck with a car that drinks a gallon of oil every 700-1200k miles. Even though they did extend the warranty to 10yrs/150k miles, this issue usually happens after then. So they knew what they was doing. My car is going to fail the test but toyota dealers tell me that toyota is going to help with any of the repair costs. Talk about pissed. Toyota and lexus just lost a loyal customer

Excessive oil consumption. About one quart per 1200 miles. Did have the oil consumption monitored by toyota about a year ago and they said we passed. Then we exceeded the mileage covered in the tsb
