NHTSA Complaint #11078587 — 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY

I HAVE NOTICED EXCEESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE 2015 IS 2016 AND HAVE GONE THROUGH NUMEROUS REPAIRS ONLY TO STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LATEST ESTIMATE IS FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME ONE GUY ACTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LITERALLY BURNING UP RIGHT AFTER HE CHANGED THE OIL. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT WITH A TODDLER FOR HOURS, AS WELL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR AT TIMES. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED MY CAR RANDOMLY SHAKING AND SMOKING IN TRAFFIC, AFTER WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, MOST RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEK AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHO COULD FIX IT AND NOT KEEP RIPPING ME OFF. TO FIND OUT THERE WAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE BY TOYOTA AND NOTHING WAS SENT TO ME SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND/OR THEIR CUSTOMER FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, ARE ACTUALLY VALUED. THE NUMBER OF CAMRY'S MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO UNKNOWINGLY TRUSTING CONSUMERS IS BOTH SHOCKING AND SCARY.
