The car burns oil excessively, I bought this car 11/07/2022 every week to 2 weeks I have to put 2-2 1/2 quarts of oil in. There is nothing wet under the car no oil stains anywhere so oil is not leaking. I spend so much money on oil it's not normal.

I had no problems with my 2015 Toyota Camry SE that does not even have 90,000 miles on it, and then I started experiencing a shutter when driving between 25 and 50mph. It feels like you are driving over rumble sticks in the roadway, or an abnormal shaking. There is no warning light illuminated on my dashboard ex: engine light. If I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the shutter/shaking would stop or if I pushed on the accelerator to go faster, it will come out of the shutter/shaking also. While I was getting an oil change at the Toyota dealership, I spoke with the Toyota customer service representative about the closed recall (T-SB-0312-17) for this issue on 2012-2014 Toyota Camry's while doing research on this issue and I was told that Toyota has no plans on doing another recall because they have fixed the problem and I would have to have the car fixed myself which could cost upwards of $3,000.00 out of pocket. Why should a customer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have their car diagnosed for a known problem based on internet forums and other Toyota complaints. The engine light is not on, so a code may not even show up. I cannot afford to pay that, and Toyota should stand by their vehicles, stop giving customers the run around and do another recall as this is a big safety issue of faulty parts which can cause a major accident if the car loses power and stalls.

Was driving and slowing down for a light and could feel that car was losing control and breaks did not seem to work properly, then the care stalled and stopped, so turned car off and turned back on again and started. Same thing happened about 10 times and when I finally went back home because I was afraid to go further, I could smell gas when I exited my vehicle. Each time it stalled, I had to restart in order to go again, very scarry and everyone beeping at me doesnt help.

Clapping or tapping noise sounds like lifter or valve making noise at certain times. If you turn the engine off and turn the engine back on it will make the noise even press the gas pedal it gets a louder clapping. I get my every oil change at 5,000 miles. My vehicle shouldn't be making this noise.

I grew up on a farm and have worked on many machines over the years. I have owned cars, trucks, motorcycles and a boat. I understand how vehicles are designed to work. My car is a 2015 toyota camry se, 2.5l 4 cylinder engine. The safety issue I am having with this car began somewhere around 20,000 miles and about 2 years ago, when attempting to pull into to traffic, and while pressing the gas pedal there was a noticeable lose of power. The throttle did not respond for 3-5 seconds and downward trend in rpms. The next time I had the car at the dealer for service I reported this. The service tech reported there were no codes and the issue could not be recreated. Now this same thing has happened 10-12 times at usually at between 2000-3000 rpms. It has happened turning into traffic, attempting to change lanes and just having the car a head move forward and attempt to accelerate to move forward as well to close the distance. This situation has been very intermittent, occurs while in motion and usually between 40-60 MPH, and sometimes not occurring for months at a time. I filed a complaint with toyota corp at the advice of the service manager at the deal ship. I have been dismissed by the case managers at toyota, shuffled off to new case managers and always told that the issue could not be addressed until it could be recreated. I should stop everything and return the car to the dealer after each instance. Finally, the car was left for a week and the issues occurred while technician was driving it. I was told the issue had been resolved. Then it happened again. I called the case manager and was told that the problem had to be recreated again.toyota would rather have a driver on the road in an unsafe vehicle then resolve this issue. Now the car sits in the driveway, mostly unused. The dealer will not give decent trade value because of this issue.
