Consumer Description
THE LAST OIL CHANGE I HAD WITH MY CAMRY 2008 WAS IN FEBRUARY 2017. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2000 MILES IN 1.5 MONTHS AFTER THAT OIL CHANGE, I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY CAR PERFORMANCE HAD DEGRADED SO MUCH THAT I DECIDED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. WHEN I CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL I WAS SHOCK TO FIND THERE WAS NO OIL ON MY DIP STICK! I WENT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO PICK UP 2 QUARTS AND ADDED TO MY ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DROP IT OFF AT A TOYOTA DEALER TO PERFORM THE OIL CONSUMPTION AFTER I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ONLINE. IT FAILED THE TEST. AT THIS POINT MY MILEAGE WAS 194,600 AND MY CARS WAS 7 MONTHS SHORT OF TURNING 10 YEARS OLD. THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED WELL AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 150,000! I AM OUT OF LUCK AND TOYOTA REFUSED TO SERVICE MY CAR DUE TO THE EXPIRED WARRANTY!! I FEEL CHEATED OUT OF THE WARRANTY! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL. HELP!
