Consumer Description

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL FOR THE LAST ONE YEAR. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE THAT CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE VERY SOON. IF I DON'T FILL THE ENGINE WITH ADDITIONAL OIL BETWEEN TWO OIL CHANGES, WHEN ITS TIME TO CHANGE OIL, NOTHING COMES OUT FROM THE ENGINE - THE ENTIRE OIL IS BEING BURNT BY THE ENGINE AND THE RED OIL CHANGE SIGN COMES OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. I NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM - THEY ASKED MY TO KEEP ADDING OIL. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2001 - 06 TOYOTAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TOYOTA OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE - PLEASE GOOGLE IT TO CHECK. THEREFORE, I AM REQUESTING AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND START A RECALL OF ALL 2007 CAMRY ENGINES ASAP. WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP FROM NHTSA. *TR
