NHTSA Complaint #10616098 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

I BEGAN NOTICING DURING MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE AT 3000-5000 MILES, THAT CLOSER TO REQUIRED OIL CHANGE MY OIL LIGHT WOULD ENGAGE DURING BRAKING. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT FIRST, BUT BEGAN NOTICING IT AT A CONSISTENT RATE. WHEN I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT 90,000 MILES THE SERVICE PERSON INDICATED I ONLY HAD ABOUT 1 1/2 QUARTS REMOVED FROM THE CAR. I THOUGHT I HAD AN OIL LEAK OF SOME SORT, BUT I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT DISCHARGE FROM MY OIL PAN, OIL FILTER AND SO FORTH IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT TO MY SON WHO IS A MECHANIC, AND HE SAID HE SAW LITTLE SIGN OF ANY LEAKAGE, AND I MUST BE BURNING IT. SO HE SUGGESTED I GET ONLINE, AND LOOK FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND NOW I SEE 2007 IS A POPULAR YEAR FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO BRING IT TO A DEALERS ATTENTION, AND SEE NO RE-CALL OR MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM ADVERTISED BY TOYOTA. *TR
