NHTSA Complaint #10412531 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

@79K MILES, OIL LIGHT CAME ON. ADDED 1.5 QTS OF OIL. TOOK CAR IN FOR 80K SERVICE (ALL SERVICE UP TO DATE). TOLD DEALER OF LOW OIL PROBLEM. DEALER ADVISED 05/31/2011 DRIVEABILITY; CUSTOMER STATES THAT OIL LIGHT CAME ON DASH ABOUT 500 MILES AGO ADDED 1 QUART OF OIL SAW A CLOUD OF SMOKE FROM EXHAUST ..NOTE ADVISED CUSTOMER THAT TECH DID FIND OIL LOW PERFORMED OIL CHANGE AND MARKED DIP STICK ADDED DYE TO OIL ADVISED CUSTOMER TO RETURN WITH IN 500 MILES TO SEE IF ANY DYE RESIDUE COMING FROM TAIL PIPE E. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER @ ABOUT 700 MILES AND DEALER ADVISED 06/30/2011 ENGINE MINOR. CUSTOMER STATES THAT ENGINE WAS BURNING OIL WE TOPPED OFF OIL AND ADDED DYE CHECK AND ADVISE, AS PERTOM SINICA THAT AS PER TOYOTA SPEC IS EVERY CAR IS ALLOWED TO USE 1QT OF OIL IN 1200 MILES. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE #, TOYOTA SENT CASE BACK TO DEALER, DEALER CALLED ME TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE CAR IS RUNNING WITHIN SPECS. TOYOTA IN MY OPINION IS HIDING BEHIND THEIR 2007 CAMRY OWNERS MANUAL IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK. I READ THE OIL CONSUMPTION PAGE (PG 291) OF THE MANUAL AND IT ALSO STATES" A NEW ENGINE CONSUMES MORE OIL, SINCE ITS PISTONS, PISTON RINGS AND CYLINDER WALLS HAVE NOT BECOME CONDITIONED". TO ME THAT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM BURNING MORE OIL AS THE CAR GETS OLDER. I OWN ANOTHER TOYOTA (2010). JUST TRADED IN A 2002 CAMRY WITH 203,000 MILES (NEVER HAD TO ADD A DROP OF OIL) AND OWNED A 1986 TOYOTA SUPRA DIED @ 246K MILES NEVER ADDED A DROP OF OIL. ONE OTHER THING THE 2007 CAMRY IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY NOT THAT IT HELPS THIS PROBLEM. I AM WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO GET BACK TO ME AGAIN.
