2008 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine Problems

MY CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED, EVERYTHING ON-TIME. BACK AUGUST, JIFFY LUBE TOLD US THAT MY CAR IS CONSUMING ABOUT 2 QT EVERY 3K MILES. I READ ABOUT IT AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTAS, I NEED THEM TO RESOLVE MY CAR ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO CARRY WITH A MANUFACTURER FAULTS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, LOST ALL MY OIL WITHIN OIL CHANGES,

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, BURNS MORE THEN A QUARTER AFTER 1000 MILES.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAMRY FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (FAMILY), WHO PURCHASED IT NEW OFF THE LOT IN 2009. SINCE 2010 THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BURN MORE AND MORE OIL. IN LATE 2015-2016 (AFTER THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL WAS CLOSED) MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION. DURING THE RECALL, I HAD IT CHECKED BY A DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT IT PASSED. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADDING AT LEAST A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL. CURRENTLY I RUN THROUGH ALL OF THE OIL, MID WAY THROUGH THE OIL CHANGE PERIOD. I'M BURNING THROUGH ROUGHLY 4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1500 MILES. IT COST ME OVER $1000 TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, AND AT THIS CURRENT RATE I'M GOING TO NEED TO GET THE SECOND ONE REPLACED SOON. I LOVE MY CAR AND THIS...

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION I BELIEVE IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AT THE TIME. HOWEVER AROUND OCTOBER 2015, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE CAR WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL, I REQUESTED A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST---BUT IT CAME BACK THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST MY CAR WAS AT 190,000 MILES. NOW, THE CAR IS STARTING TO BURN MORE OIL EVEN AFTER REGULAR OIL CHANGES FROM MOSS BROS TOYOTA IN MORENO VALLEY. I JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON AUGUST 4TH 2017. WELL TWO WEEKS (8/18/2017) AFTER MY CHANGE I NOTICED THE OIL SENSOR WOULD FLASH EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP. I CHECK THE OIL IN MY CAR AND THERE WAS BARELY ANY ON THE DIPSTICK. AS A RESULT, I ADDED MORE OIL MYSELF TO AVOID BURNING UP THE ENGINE. I...

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXCESSIVELY BURN OIL. IN 2014 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA. THIS LETTER ADVISE ME TO HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I HAVE HAD 2 THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, THAT OIL BURRING IS NORMAL. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN ONE MONTH. MY OIL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO NOTIFY ME THAT ME OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW AT LEAST TWO TIME BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORST AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM DESPITE THE LETTER AND THEM KNOWING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA CAMARYS . I DO NOT WHAT ELSE TO DO

MY CAR HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED NOT EVEN A MONTH AFTER BUYING OFF THE LOT

ENGINE OIL BURNING OFF WAY TO FAST. I HAVE TO ADD 1 QT EVERY 1,200 - 1,500 MILES. I TOOK MY CAT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND PASSED. BUT I DID NOTICE THAT THEY USE 5-20 OIL. WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHY IT PASSED. BECAUSE I USE 0-20 OIL, JUST LIKE MY OWNERS MANUAL SAYS. SO I'M NOT SURE.

WE ARE VERY FAITHFUL ABOUT GETTING OUT CAR'S OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. GOOD THING! WHEN WE RECEIVED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION THAT OUR CAR WAS COVERED FOR EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, WE STARTED WATCHING OUR OIL CONSUMPTION CLOSELY. WE WERE DEFINITELY GOING THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN MARCH 2016 AND WERE TOLD OUR CAR DIDN'T CONSUME ENOUGH OIL TO QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. WE KEPT AN EYE ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND TOOK IT BACK FOR ANOTHER TEST IN OCTOBER 2016--CONVINCED IT WOULD QUALIFY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE CAR AGAIN DID NOT QUALIFY. WE WERE FRUSTRATED BUT HAD LITTLE RECOURSE ON 10/24/16 WITH THE WARRANTY EXPIRING ON 10/31/16. OUR CAR IS NOW GOING THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 400-500 MILES. NO KIDDING. WE RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER EACH TIME WE ADD...

MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I AM HAVING TO FIND SOMEONE TO CHECK AND ADD IN WHAT OIL THE CAR NEEDS. I AM 1 70 YEAR OLD SINGLE WOMAN AND NEED A VEHICLE THAT IS RELIABLE AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE NOR RELIABLE WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYES FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND TOYOTA DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIX IT THEY WANT ME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR WHICH AT MY AGE I CANT DO SO.

WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THERE IS NOW A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND TOYOTA TOLD US THAT IT ISN'T COVERED AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT BUT THEY WILL PUT IN A USED ONE FOR ABOUT $3000. HOW IS IT MY FAULT WHEN THEY SEAL EVERYTHING UP SO THAT I CAN NOT CHECK THE OIL LEVELS?

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...

ENGINE USES OIL. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM BUT YET IT CONTINUES TO USE OIL. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL TOYOTA'S AND THIS IS THE WORST ONE AND PROBABLY MY LAST. IT'S NOT ONLY A NUISANCE BUT ALSO COST US EXTRA MONEY FOR THE ADDED OIL.

USES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL. I GET MY OIL CHANGED AND VEHICLE SERVICED RELIGIOUSLY, AT TOYOTA, NO LESS.

IN JULY 2016 I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN IT'S POWER. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR AND STEPPED ON THE GAS IN WASN'T GETTING MUCH POWER. WHEN IN TRAFFIC OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT WOULD STALL WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WORKED ON MY CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OF AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IN DECEMBER 2016 I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS LOSING POWER AND THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICING AND THEY HAD A DIFFICULT TIME DETERMINING THE CAUSE BUT CAME TO A CONCLUSION...

ENGINE IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL

MY CAR IS CONSUMING LOT OF OIL, FOR EVERY 5000 MILES OIL CHANGE I NOTICED THAT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DROP OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE, I HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT LONGO TOYOTA DEALER IN JANUARY, THEY ASKED ME TO COME WHEN THE I DROVE THE MILES BETWEEN 1100-1300, I TOOK MY CAR AT 1128 MILES AND AFTER THE TEST THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND NO FURTHER TEST IS NEEDED, I SAID WHAT ARE YOU SAYING I SEE NOT A SINGLE DROP OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE, THEY ARE SAYING IN ORDER TO FAIL THE TEST 1 QT OF OIL SHOULD BE CONSUMED FOR EVERY 1200 MILES BUT MY CAR CONSUME 3/4 QT OF OIL HENCE TEST IS PASSED.... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WHY IS IT NORMAL TO CONSUME 3/4 QT OF OIL, THEY FAILED TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO OIL...

08 CAMRY OIL COMSUMPTION,USING TO MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE,GOT TOYOTA NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT PROBLEM,WHEN I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THEY SAID MY CAMRY PASS THE TEST AND WAS NOT WARRANTY ANYTHING.I TOLD THEM THAT IT SMOKES ON START UP AND THAT IS A INDICATION THAT THE ENG IS BURNING OIL,STILL NO HELP I HAVE A 94 CAMRY WITH NO PROBLEM.NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT DAMAGE MY ENGINE BECAUSE IT SMOKES,NEVER AGAIN A TOYOTA PRODUCT I WILL BUY,I NEED TOYOTA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS SINCE THEY NO IT WAS A PROBLEM.I ONLY HAD 60 TO 70 THOUSAND MILES WHEN IT STARTED USING OIL AND SMOKING.

TOYOTA DEALER HAS CONDUCTED 3 SEPARATE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ON MY CAR. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD MY CAR "PASSED" AND DID NOT MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I CAN ONLY GO 1200-1800 MILES BEFORE I AM WARNED THAT MY OIL IS LOW. WE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE, MY CAR WAS REGISTERING "0" OIL. TOYOTA, WHILE KNOWING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, ARE NOT HELPING ME AS A TOYOTA OWNER. I AM WARNED OF LOW OIL WHEN I BRAKE OR TURN. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENCE, I RECENTLY SPENT OVER $2500 ON THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH I READ ABOUT CAMRYS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IT DID NOT INVOLVE THE NON-HYBRID CAMRY. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN I WAS WARNED BY THE CAR OF THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PISTONS WERE BURNING OIL AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT RETAIN OIL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

MY CAR ENGINE IS BURNING IS BURNING OIL MORE THAN USUAL IT BURNS ABOUT 3,75 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES I WENT TO OURISMAN TOYOTA DEALER IN FAIRFAX, VA AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT . THIS IS A FRAUD BECAUSE IN TOYOTA MANUAL IT SAYS THAT THE CAR TAKES 4,5 QUARTS ONLY BUT NOW BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL I HAVE TO BUY MORE OIL (3,75 QUARTS PER 5000 MILES IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT)AND ADD IT TO MY ENGINE IN ORDER TO AVOID BLOWING UP MY ENGINE

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUPTION

I HAVE HAD MY TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE 2012 HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED IN TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT EVEN REGISTERED WITH TOYOTA. I FIND THAT DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES IN THE PAST. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I EVEN HAVE NOTICES FROM TOYOTA TO PROVE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES IN THE PAST. WHEN I CALLED IN JACKIE THE SPECIALIST SAID I WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND HAD TO BE REGISTERED. NOW I'M STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND FEEL THAT THIS SO UNFAIR.

THE CAR HAS A VERY QUICK OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL HAS TO BE EITHER ADDED OR CHANGED BEFORE THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN REACHED. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING SLUGGISH AND HAS BEGIN TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY SHAKING. THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY PLACE NOR TIME AS IT DOES IT AT ANY POINT AND TIME WHEN THE OIL HAS REDUCED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MULTI TIMES HOWEVER THE LAST ATTEMPT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHERE MY COMPLAINT WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. MY INFORMATION WAS TAKEN AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND THE INFORMATION LISTED WAS UNDER THE NAME [XXX] WHICH WAS CORRECTED TO MY INFO AT THAT TIME WHICH WAS ONE WEEK AND TWO DAYS FROM TODAY. I TRULY THINK IT IS UNFAIR TO ME THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS AND WHEN I CALLED WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT...

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH A 2AZ-FE ENGINE THAT BEGAN USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL AFTER ABOUT 120K MILES. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL TO NEED TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES OR SO. HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE ON AUGUST 11, 2011 WITH TSB #0094-11.

I CHECK MY ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND OIL IS LOW. OIL CHANGE WAS CHANGED ONLY LAST MONTH.

ENGINE BURNS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 400-500 MILES

ENGINE USE 1 OUART OF OIL EVERY 600-700 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON MAKING A TURN, THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR CHIMED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE OIL WAS ROUTINELY MAINTAINED, BUT THE PRESSURE CONTINUED TO BE LOW. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. THE DEALER PROVIDED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR LONGER THAN THREE MONTHS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BEARINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THE ENGINE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. ...UPDATED 12/14/16 *BF *TR

TOYOTA EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION ON THEIR CAMRY'S - ZE7 FOR "EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION". MY CAR WAS TESTED AND FAILED THE TEST IN JANUARY 2016. TOYOTA HAS NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND I AM UNABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH PARTS AND THERE IS A BACKLOG OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. AGAIN TODAY WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE JUST NOW REPAIRING VEHICLES THAT FAILED THE TEST BACK IN MARCH OF 2015, FAILED THE TEST 15 MONTHS AGO, AND THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT BE REPAIRED FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. IF TOYOTA CAN PREPARE PARTS FOR NEW CAMRY SALES, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PREPARE PARTS TO REPAIR VEHICLES THEY ALREADY SOLD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE LOCAL OXMOORE TOYOTA...

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THROUGH A TEST, HOWEVER THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THEM!

THE CAR MADE A 'DING' SOUND WHEN THE BREAKS WERE APPLIED WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. UPON CHECKING, I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS EXTREMELY LOW - THE DIP STICK SHOWED NO OIL ON IT. I WAS ALARMED AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED 3 QUARTS OF OIL - FOR OIL TO SHOW UP ON THE DIP STICK. AT FIRST, I FIGURED THAT, MAYBE AT THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE, SUFFICIENT OIL WAS NOT ADDED. SOON THEREAFTER, I GOT AN OIL CHANGE. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER I BEGAN TO HEAR THE 'DING' SOUND AGAIN. I CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS LOW AND AGAIN IT DID NOT EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIP STICK. I ADDED 3 QUARTS OF OIL AND PROCEEDED TO GET AN OIL CHANGE; THIS TIME WITH TANSKY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS TIME I WAS CONCERNED AND CHECKED ALL THE MAIL I HAD RECEIVED...

I AM GETTING RUNNING OUT OF ENGINE OIL, I HAVE TALK TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAY TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE FACING SAME PROBLEM I AM RUNNING OUT OIL AS LOW IN JUST 1000 MILE AND I HAVE DIAGNOSE AND THEY COULD NOT FOUND ANY PROBLEM. CAR RUNNING OUT OF OIL AND MAKING BIG NOISE AND SCARE TO DRIVE VEHICLE, I NEED SOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD NO OIL. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE LOST A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES HOWEVER A REMEDY HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE HAD OIL ADDED TO THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION 1QT EVERY 500 MILES

WHEN I TOOK MY 2008 CAMRY IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY FOUND NO OIL IN THE CAR. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST". THEY DID SOMETHING TO MY CAR AND I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 2000 MILES AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN. I WAS TOLD IT HAD FAILED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR REPAIR WHICH IS COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD THE WAIT COULD BE AS LONG AS SIX MONTHS AND THAT IN THE MEANTIME IF MY CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL AND ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE ENGINE, THE WARRANTY WOULD BE VOID. MY CAR MIGHT HAVE OIL IN THE MORNING AND THE BE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL BY THE AFTERNOON. I FEEL I SHOULD BE GIVEN A LOAN CAR TO DRIVE WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THESE...

ENGINE BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. THREE QUARTS EVERY 2000 MILES.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OVER 1.5 YEARS

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, APPROX. 50 MPH, MY CAR ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WITH NO UNUSUAL NOISE, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. OIL WAS GONE, BUT THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT HAD NOT LIGHTED. NO WARNING TO QUIT DRIVING BEFORE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS EXPERIENCED. THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DISASSEMBLED FOR DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS, BUT TWO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, ONE BEING A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT., HAVE INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING LOUDLY AND THE BEARINGS ARE PROBABLY OVERHEATED AND "WELDED" TO THE PART SURROUNDING THEM. I LEARNED FROM TOYOTA CORP. ABOUT THEIR "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION" EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO STAND BEHIND THIS DEFECT IN MY CAR AND REFUSE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AT THEIR COST. MY ENGINE BURNED UP BECAUSE THE OIL WAS DEPLETED WITHIN A TWO MONTH PERIOD - THIS HAPPENED ON 12/28/15, AND I HAD TOPPED OFF THE OIL IN...

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A STRONG OIL ODOR WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF OIL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY LE THE CURRANT MILEAGE IS 149,000 MILES. IT BURNS ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 250 MILES, AND IT'S COSTING ME A LOT OF A MONEY. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY FROM ME THEIR ARE MUCH MORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE. IN ADDITION TO THAT THEIR IS LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION AND MAKE THIS A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED. I ALSO FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE OTHER OWNERS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW IT FEELS, SO PLEASE HELP. THANKS

PURCHASED A USED 2008 CAMRY ON 7/15/15. THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR THE OIL CHANGE RIGHT BEFORE I GOT IT AND I STILL HAD OVER 900 MILES LEFT BEFORE I HIT THE 3000 MILE MARK TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGE DONE. WE CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY. NOT A DRIP ON THE DIP STICK! I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

GOLF SIZE HOLE IN THE ENGINE ACCORDING TO THE ADJUSTOR. INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS SERVICED ON TIME. THE OIL LIGHT USED TO COME ON OCCASION ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. THIS WAS WITHIN SERVICE STICKER WINDOW. EACH TIME OIL (1QT TO 2QT) WAS ADDED TO THE TANK. ON THE DATE OF INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING, WE FELT LIKE WE DROVE OVER A METAL OBJECT THAT IMPACTED THE ENGINE. CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE BLEW UP ON IT OWN. IF IT DID - THAT IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED UNNECESSARY DAMAGES BOTH TO VEHICLE AND DRIVERS.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL. I RECEIVED THE PAPER FROM TOYOTA THREE MONTHS AGO THAT THEY ARE PROCESSING TO BUILD THE PART FOR THE SOLUTION OF BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL.(THE PAPER DOES SHOW ABOUT THE REACALL OF EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL BURNING THEY SAID I WILL RECEIVE THE LETTER IN TWO MONTHS TO FIX THE PROBLEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER FOR THE RECALL.) THANKS

THE ENGINE CONSUMES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS ACCEPTABLE BUT 25% OF OIL LOSS IS WAY TOO MUCH. IF I WAIT TILL THE MAINTENANCE OF 3000 MILES, ALMOST 75% OF THE OIL WILL BE GONE AND WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. *TR

OIL LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO SUN TOYOTA, HOLIDAY, FL. THEY ADVISED ME TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AT MY EXPENSE AND TO COME BACK LATER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES. I CALLED LATER AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOO EARLY AND TO COME BACK AT ABOUT 1100 MILES. IN THE MEANTIME, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA RE. WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT UP TO 10 YEARS AND 150K MILES FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS UNABLE TO RETURN UNTIL TODAY (3/28/15) DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS. THE MILEAGE WAS 1568 SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE AND OUTSIDE THEIR PARAMETERS. THEY WOULD NOT DO THE TEST AGAIN FOR 6 MONTHS. I ASKED THEM TO AT LEAST CHECK THE OIL AND THEY DID SO AT MY INSISTENCE AND 2 QUARTS NEEDED TO BE ADDED AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT FREQUENTLY ADDED ENGINE OIL TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.
