NHTSA Complaint #10733586 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING UP OIL SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT IN 2006. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RESEARCHING THIS EXCESSIVE OIL PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NO LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT IT, BUT I SEE THAT THE TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE GOTTEN A BULLETIN ABOUT THIS. WHEN I ACTUALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND I DECIDED TO CHECK MY FLUID LEVELS. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON TO MAKE ME AWARE THAT MY CAR IS LOW ON OIL. THEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK TO SEE THAT IT IS DRY!!! MY CAR NOW HAS 154,000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. I HAVE HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVER 400 MILES. THIS IS NOT NEW TO ME SINCE I BUY OIL CONSTANTLY AND CHECK MY DIPSTICK EVERY OTHER DAY. I JUST RECENTLY CALLED A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED A COPY OF ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM EVERY OIL CHANGE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND THAT. ALSO I HAVE MADE DIFFERENT DEALERS AWARE OF MY PROBLEM AND I HAVE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE TOYOTA CORP. NOW THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD?!? I HAVE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE MY CAT AND 4 MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT IS READING THE SAME CAT CODE WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED. I AM WONDERING IF THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING IS ACTUALLY CLOGGING MY CATS.
