NHTSA Complaint #10585797 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2007 AS A MARK DOWN BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN RETURNED BY A BUSINESS BUT THE OIL LEAK PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT NOR WAS I TOLD OF THE PROBLEM. SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW BUT I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM. THERE WAS NO BLACK SMOKE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. OVER AND OVER AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR IN AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MISSING OIL. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY NEVER PUT THE REQUIRED AMOUNT IN BUT ALWAYS PUT IN FROM ONE HALF TO A FULL QUART LOW. I NEVER MISSED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND EACH TIME I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE OIL PROBLEM BUT THEY NEVER FIXED IT. INSTEAD THEY ALWAYS OFFERED ME SOME EXCUSE. THE WARRANTY IS NOW EXPIRED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. I NEED YOU HELP BECAUSE I AM AT WITS END AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE WORRIED ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS HAVE TO CARRY SPARE OIL IN MY TRUNK. *JS
