NHTSA Complaint #10495082 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER, 2011, AND WITHIN WARRANTY, MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO IRA TOYOTA. I HAD TWO QUARTS OF OIL REMAINING IN CRANKCASE. THEY CONDUCTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, ONE OF THREE, AND TOLD ME THAT THE LOSS OF ONE HALF QUART PER 1,000 MILES WAS WITHIN SPECS. RUBBISH. I THEN COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA, INC. THEY SENT ME THEIR ENGINEER WHO STATED THAT TOYOTA WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, OF COURSE. NEVER SAW ENGINEER AGAIN. BEFORE ENGINEER, IRA TOYOTA OFFERED TO FIX IT. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A $1,500 JOB AND IF I GAVE THEM $150.00, THEY WOULD FIX IT. THEY "REPAIRED AUTO" BUT IT REMAINED THE SAME. AND THEY KEPT THE $150. THEY KEPT LYING TO ME FOR A YEAR. THEN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR MY COMPLAINT. NOW, MY AUTO USES ONE QUART OF OIL PER 600 MILES. TOYOTA IS A FRAUD. THEY HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THEY CANNOT FINANCIALLY TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THEM. THEIR VEHICLES ARE LEMONS AND THEIR WARRANTIES ARE WORTHLESS. (SHORT VERSION) *TR
