Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 4 CYLINDER. AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 3 DAYS IN A STATIONARY POSITION ON THE STREET, AT STARTUP I SEE WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE. THE WHITE SMOKE WILL LAST FOR ABOUT 60 SECONDS AND GO AWAY. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE WITH CAMRYS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 78,000 MILES AND THE OIL LEVEL IS ALWAYS FULL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TOYOTA NEEDS TO CHECK IN ABOUT.
