NHTSA Complaint #10496417 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

MY ENGINE HAS A DEFECT. IT IS BURNING OIL. I BURNED 2 QUARTS, ALTHOUGH I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR REGULAR WITH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.I WENT TO DEALERSHIP, BEV SMITH TOYOTA IN FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA ON FEBUARY 02, 2013. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE ENGINE LACKED 2 QUARTS OF OIL, WHICH THEY ADDED. MY CONTACT ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2013 WAS JAMES BADILLO WHO IS THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER AT THE FACILITY ADVISED ME SINCE THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, PISTON RINGS WILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THERE IS A DEFECT IN ONE OR MORE COMPONENT OF THE ENGINE WHICH IS CAUSING OIL LEAK INTERNALLY THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIND THE CAUSE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR. PLEASE MAKE THEM ISSUE A RECALL/COVER COST OF NECESSARY REPAIRS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, THERE ARE MANY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS WHO HAVE DEFECTIVE ENGINE PER MY RESEARCH ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF BURNING OIL. I HAVE FOLLOWED RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ON THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE LIFETIME OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW ON AUGUST 07, 2007 FROM BEV SMITH TOYOTA. I HAVE DONE ALL THE OIL CHANGES AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER REPAIR BILL BECAUSE THEY SAID CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.
