Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY NEW IN 2007 ( THIS IS MY 5TH TOYOTA) AND RELIGIOUS FOLLOW THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE TOYOTA RECOMMENDS. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50 K MILES THE ENGINE STARTED BURNING OIL AND THE ENGINE BECAME VERY NOISY. THE CAR CURRENTLY USES ABOUT A QUART EVERY 1200 MILES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE SAFERCAR.GOV, EDMUNDS.COM WEBSITES AND THE CONSUMERAFFAIRS.ORG WEBSITE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AS ACKNOWLEDGED IN TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0094-11 ISSUED 8/11/2011. HTTP://WWW.RAV4WORLD.COM/TSB/2011/T-SB-0094-11.PDF . BASICALLY STATING ?THE PISTON ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED? (OF COURSE AS AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS ENGINE AND VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED).I CAN SEE BY OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PERSONAL IMPACT ASIDE, THIS IS A VEHICLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE. I PUT ALMOST AS MUCH OIL IN THE CAR EVERY WEEK AS I DO GASOLINE. THE ADDITIONAL EMISSIONS CAUSED BY THE OIL BURNING IS BEING OFFSET PARTIALLY BY THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT ONLY PARTIALLY, AND EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL TO FILTER IT OUT ALTOGETHER. I URGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AND RAISE THIS TO RECALL STATUS.. *TR
