NHTSA Complaint #11092828 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.4L 4 CYL, CONSUMES OIL AT A STAGGERING RATE. DUE TO THIS INCREASED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION, INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS INEVITABLY OCCUR. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS ANY TIME THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, OCCURRING EVEN MORE AT HIGH SPEEDS OF OPERATION. THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY LURCH WHEN BEING DRIVEN, CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IN THE WRONG CONDITIONS. BEFORE DRIVING FOR PROLONGED HIGH SPEEDS, I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH TO PREVENT A SEIZED ENGINE. THE RESULTS OF SUCH A PROBLEM WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEEDS. THESE INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL DANGERS CAUSED BY THE INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION OF MY CAR PROVIDE MORE THAN AMPLE JUSTIFICATION FOR AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.
