NHTSA Complaint #10568313 — 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY

MY OIL LIGHT BLINKED ONCE ON MY WAY HOME. I CHECKED THE OIL THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AND IT SHOWED NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK! WE ADDED 4 1/2 QTS OF OIL. I HAD NEVER BEEN SO MUCH AS A 1/2 QT LOW AT OIL CHANGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THE OIL LIGHT NEVER STAYED ON AS A WARNING. MY MOTOR COULD HAVE CONCEIVABLY BURNED UP WITHOUT MY KNOWING THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. MY 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS NOW USING AT LEAST 1/2 - 1 QTS OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. WE HAVE A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 245,000 MILES THAT ONLY USES APPROX. 1/2 QT OIL PER 3,000 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I CAN SEE THAT MINE IS NOT A SINGULAR EVENT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
