2010 Toyota Camry engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 58, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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; adding oil every 1000 miles. Noticed first approx. July 2017.
The car maintenance has been kept up per the manufacturer and always taken to the toyota dealer. The car was making a loud unusual noise from the engine; took it to toyota and the oil stick was completely dry. This was after just having a routine oil change about a month earlier. About 1,000 to 1,200 miles later, the same thing, no oil on the dip stick. Interestingly, there is no oil leak in the driveway either. The service adviser explained they don't know what it could be and there was no recall on the 2010 camry for this type issue. They topped off the oil again and said to come back at the 1,000 mile mark to have it checked again and to check it weekly as well. Made it to about 800 miles and again no oil. This is very frustrating as toyota corporation got to know that this is a manufacturer defect and need to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before someone gets seriously hurt driving a car with no oil since the oil light never comes on either as a warning. Lastly, the adviser did say it may be something with the engine that would cost us upward of $5k to $6k.
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
Like so many other toyota vehicles; started using an excessive amount of oil ( @ one quart every 500 miles) at about 82,000 miles
Brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold statup (1ar/2ar). Per toyota t-sb-0041-13 -- immediately following a cold startup, some 2009-2013 model year vehicles equipped with the 1ar-fe and 2ar-fe engines may exhibit a brief knock/rattle noise from the engine compartment for approximately one second. Follow the repair procedure below to address this condition. This is due to worn / loose cam gears. A quick google search shows that this issue is rampant among many toyota models. Toyota has issues a tsb, but not a recall. Failure of this part can cause engine stoppage while driving.
Car takes synthetic oil and losing 2 quarts every 3 months or so. No leak on driveway and no smoke from exhaust...
Burning oil found the problem a 48,000 miles.I have to put a quart of every 1500 miles know I have 186,000 its getting worse no oil on ground
My 2010, 4 cylinder toyota camry is using extreme amounts of oil. It has been tested for excessive oil consumption in 5/2016 and I was told it qualified for toyota's repair under enhanced warranty. Car was manufactured in 2009. Called 1/18/17 that they had gotten to my name on their very long list and to bring it in. After looking at the car to repair it, I was told the engine is a little different and it does not qualify for the repairs-even though it is obviously having the same problems. I was told to call corporate toyota to see if it could be included. They said no and that I need another oiled consumption test because last one is more than 6 months old. Basically, just told that I am responsible for the repair of the extreme oil consumption (approx 1 qt/250 miles).
High consumption of engine oil, do not lubricate the engine, rotate the pinion of the vvt -I. After the oil change, add 3 to 5 additional rooms before the next oil change. Problem with 2009 and 2010 models
I have gotten two oil changes in two weeks. The vehicle burns oil to empty every 4-5 days. While driving the vehicle cuts off completely and the steering wheel locks. This is especially dangerous while driving on major highways and interstates. I work as a realtor part-time and for the local government full-time. My daily commute (mon-fri) is all major highway and interstate, for 3 hours round-trip. As a realtor, I drive all throughout the dc, maryland, virginia areas, 7 days a week.
Engine is consuming to quickly the oil
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While the vehicle was being serviced, the technician noticed an oil leak from the intake manifold. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer where it was diagnosed for the same failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the pcv valve hose and intake manifold gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine when starting and the engine was cold. I took it to a dealership they had to keep it overnight to diagnose the problem. The mileage on my camry was 90317 miles when the dealership made the necessary repairs on sept. 10, 2014. I paid $849.79 for the repairs. I see on your site that this is a known defect on this model camry, a defect which the manufacturer is aware of. My question is should the manufacturer cover the cost of my repairs?
We have owned this car since new and followed the maintenance schedule religiously. The car is at 76,000 miles and yesterday I discovered that the car had burned through 2.5 quarts of oil less than 3000 miles from the last oil change. Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes. Upon researching the issue I found that the previous generation of this engine had piston issues that toyota eventually started fixing for free (after multiple class action suits). I took it in to my dealership and they recommended an entire engine overhaul to fix the pistons ($5000) of which they cover nothing. In addition they confirmed the slave cylinder was leaking and that the transmission would need to be overhauled a 2nd time ($2,600). Unfortunately I purchased this car in manual, and toyota barely sold any of these transmissions which has resulted in no acknowledgement of any manufacturer defects. While I understand the transmission is poorly designed but considered a wear item, I can not understand how the pistons on a car with regular maintenance would give out at 76,000 miles.
Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? This is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.
At least 2 quarts of oil is missing at each oil change. Mobile 0w20 with new filter was used at each 6000 miles interval. No other oil was introduced to the engine and at least just one delay at 7000 miles instead of 6000 miles (1000 miles over).
I'm not sure exactly when the problems with unexpected acceleration began with this car, but they are fairly recent. All occurred when the car was stopped or moving very slowly. I do not have very good recollections of the earliest of these occurrences, but I can remember the last three clearly. The first of these was in march 2015. I was driving in an area where the speed limit was 35 MPH and had stopped for a traffic signal. I remember clearly that I had my foot solidly on the brake pedal; I had been making a special point of that as a result of the earlier occurrences. I felt the engine speed up, but the car did not move. The second occasion was on march 29th when I was driving in a residential area and had stopped at a four-way stop. I was waiting for a pedestrian (walking a dog) who was crossing the road on the opposite side from where I was stopped. I do not have a firm recollection of exactly where my right foot was positioned, but it certainly was not on the accelerator. Suddenly the car accelerated, heading toward the pedestrian. I was able to avoid hitting her by making a sharp right turn into the cross street and then bringing the car to a stop. The third occasion was on april 5th. In attempting to park the car in a lot near a grocery store, I turned the car into an empty parking space. I was pressing the brake pedal gently to bring the car to a stop at the curb on a median strip that separated my parking area from a similar one on the other side of the median. The car was just a few feet from where it should have stopped when it suddenly accelerated, jumped over the curb, and crossed the median, striking an unoccupied car parked on the other side. I was able to stop my car only after the crash caused some minor damage to the front bumpers of both cars.
I have noticed that when driving and stopping my driver seat shifts and move. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. I am having the issue with the sticky dashboard and read that it is from the melting of the dashboard, yet the year of my car is not on the recall list to get if corrected. I just noticed that when I start my car you have a noise coming from under the hood. Again not sure if anyone else is having this issue or not. My AC button will show that it is on but it actually is on. It is like the sensor is going out on it.
Engine is very noisey on start up and thereafter running.
We brought this car from rosner toyota in fredericksburg va I question the engine noise from start up and it continues now extreme engine noise from start up while running until shut down sounds like a bent push rod or collapsed lifter or both it makes a large amount of noise on start up slows down as it warms up but it is still there always.I was told by the dealer they all make that noise that year I've listen to other toyotas from that year guess what no noise ever from the ones I listen to surprise I got lied to again.what a joke this has become.
I went to get a oil change on october 28, 2014, I was told that I had a fluid leak(transmission or oil) anyway the dealership here in greenville, ms. Also told perform diagnosis lower front sub-frame assy. W/tranaxle plus engine-separate engine from trans. Plus replace rear crank seal plus replace both drive axle seals-reassemble plus reinstall plus top trans fluids, perform top engine de-carb this is what I was told shouldn't be having these problem just purchase car in feb 2013.
Within approximately two minutes of a cold start had just made a left turn in the neighborhood. Was accelerating through approximately 20 MPH when the car stalled. Rpm dropped from 2,000 to near zero and speed dropped from 20 to approximately 10. The stall lasted a few seconds and then the engine speed increased and the car drove fine from there. This is the third time this has happened in three weeks.
A knock or rattle noise, coming from engine compartment, is heard during a cold startup, sounds like a diesel engine. I have taken it in for every oil change when it is due, and no different. It has been this way ever since I bought it.
The vehicle was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hit in the side front from the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed. Driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was because of the safety of the airbags...which were no help in this accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that while the vehicle was secured in park, the engine began to increase in rpms. After pressing on the brakes, the rpms returned to normal. The failure recurred twice. The manufacturer was notified, and offered no remedy. There was no diagnosis on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage 39,800. Updated 11/24/14*lj the consumer stated the vehicle began to increase in RPM's while in park. On a separate occasion, the vehicle accelerated, the consumer had to stomp on the brake a couple of times, to get the vehicle to stop. Updated 01/08/15
My car was consuming oil. After each oil change for the past year the oil in my engine would disappear. I took the car back three times complaining about the oil disappearing. Each time, they would top it off with oil and tell me to drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back. Finally, they told me that I would have to leave my car and an inspector would come out from toyota to make a determination if my engine could be repaired or if it would have to be replaced. The decision was made to replace the engine. Toyota told me that if my car had not been certified, the cost would be mine. They paid for it. This marked the third major repair on a 2010 camry after driving it for 40,000. The rear brakes were sticking and the bearings in the front wheels had to be replaced prior to the engine blowing out. Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous.
