NHTSA Complaint #10713448 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER WITH COMPLAINT OF ENGINE VALVE NOISE. DEALER SAID NO WAY VALVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CARS AT THAT MILEAGE. LEFT WITH $1800 IN NON-ASSOCIATED REPAIRS. NOTICED ACCELERATING CONSUMPTION OF OIL. TRIED AGAIN TO GET A FIX WITH PCV VALVE AND ALL FILTERS REPLACED. CONSTANTLY TOPPING OFF WITH OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT ENGINE VALVE SEALS WERE DEFECTIVE. NOT ON A TOYOTA WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. FINALLY DID A MONITORING TEST A MONTH AGO AND REALIZED MY CAR HAD CONSUMED 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN ABOUT 1600 MILES. THE FIX COST ME ABOUT $2000. THEN I CHECK THIS WEBSITE ONLY TO FIND ABOUT 100 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA'S CLAIM IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL THAT 1.1 QTS PER 600 MILES IS ACCEPTABLE IS RIDICULOUS. I'M CHECKING FOR PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS-ACTION SUIT. THEY NEED TO "FESS UP" TO THEIR DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW IF THEY EVER WANT ME BACK AS A NEW-CAR CUSTOMER AGAIN. ENGINES UNEXPECTEDLY SEIZING UP AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN KILL! *TR
