The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11.. A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. So I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??

My camry is using excessive oil and it has the same engine number included in all the other complaints. I took my car in to have the oil consumption test done. No leaks were found, oil change was done and I was told to come back in a week. The first check up oil was added by the technician (ii was not told how much) and I was asked to return in 1000 miles. I was told to add oil if needed. When I returned for this check, up, I let them know that I had to add a quart of oil between the check ups. When the csr returned he said we were all set. The amount of oil being consumed was "within the parameters ". I know this is not correct! They say nothing is to be done. I can hear the tapping noises from the pistons in my engine about every 3 days of driving because of the lack of oil. My car looses power and starts acting sluggish etc...this is damaging my vehicle! I have taken excellent care of my car. I hought it brand new. Oil changed on time along with all suggested maintenance. Please investigate these complaints on this toyota' engine. By 2011 this problem should have already been corrected. Now I see that some of the cars have been fixed while others have not been. If all have the same problem, toyota needs to be held accountable. My car's value is lower due to this problem and I will have to keep adding 3-4 quarts of oil between oil changes (@ $13 00 a quart) as I cannot afford to purchase another at this time.

I am writing about my toyota camry 2011.I have a manual transmission that has failed now for the third time. I am presently driving but yes if it fails again it could be a safety issue if im caught in the middle of a very busy highway and it fails again. I just wanted you to be aware. Also something totally unrelated is I would suggest every seat belt in any vehicle be a fluorescent orange so it is very obvious to everyone that you are not wearing your seat belt. This would help the police and anyone else in an accident or otherwise. I am just making the suggestion hoping someone will change this.

When accelerating the vehicle's RPM rev, hesitation and then the vehicle speeds up once transmission engages with the engine. The vehicle accelerates at a high speed. This has happened over the last three months on an incline, 1.0 grade while merging onto the freeway. On flat surfaces, this does not occur. No warning indicator light to indicate there was an issue. The last time the hesitation happened I was traveling at 50 MPH to gain speed to merge onto the freeway. The vehicles RPM was between 5-6 and the transmission would not engage however it did move forward and allowed me to pull off to the shoulder. At this time there is no invoice. We have a verbal estimation of $4,000 for the transmission, center city automotive in davis, ca.

Car shudders at 35 to 40 MPH. If I speed up no problem. I heard it could be torque converter. I am not a mechanic but I told dealer and they never did anything. I also turn on AC an engine noise. They told me is wear an tear. Car is in good condition just those issues. I am original owner my car was also in accident but dealer fixed it and never told me about the issue.

Accident and didn't come out. Crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.

My 2011 camry has 55k miles and having hard transmission shifts. Specially when coming to stop there a lag in RPM and transmission moves therefore, car feels like a punch in transmission. This could be dangerous in emergency stops because car doesn't want to stop. Also, when accelerating car let you feel changing gears. I hope the federal safety agency will raise our voice to toyota. Thank you
