"oil consumption"

"Excessive oil consumption due to faulty O-rings around each of the upper portion of the pistons. Toyota put out a special extended warranty program to cover this issue if your vehicle qualified and my Camry did qualify. Waiting on parts for 1 year, recently informed by local Toyota dealer they can make the repairs in June 2017"

"The car would emit blue/black smoke from the exhaust pipe after being off for a few hours. The smoke would eventually clear up after a few seconds of running. It turns out that some gaskets within the engine block were bad and needed to be replaced"

"Toyota knows that the piston rings are faulty causing excessive oil consumption"

"Thyere was a recall on the seals leaking with oil getting into cylinders. I missed the recall deadline"

"Uses approximately 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles"

"The engine was using oil. They checked it and covered it under warranty"

"Was told enginee repair was under warranty. When they called to discuss I found out it would cost me to repair my car. Noticed a cloud of smoke when first starting my car"

"Engine was using excessive oil. Toyota dealer installed new pistons and rings for free."

"At 134k miles the engine started using oil at an alarming rate. The Toyota dealer ran an 1100 mile consumption test and determined the engine needed a rebuild. It is in the shop now for this. I love Toyota for being responsible about this. I had a Ford Taurus with a known transmission problem and while the dealer very honorably assisted with paying for a replacement I don't think I'll ever buy a Ford again. And boy, would I love to get an F150."

"excessive oil consumption, factory recall, replaced pistons and rings."

"Same result same reason as discussed under oil leak. What Toyota has never said is that, apparently, my Alternator is at risk from the past burned oil."

"The engine burned oil like crazy. I was adding in a quart of oil every few weeks. Toyota honored the engine recall and replaced the pistons, rings, and a few other things. Since being repaired by Toyota under warranty, the engine has not used any oil and runs great!"

"Excessive oil use. Toyota extended warrenty to 150000 for piston kit replacement. I was never informed, but read about it and asked dealer. No charged for that ,but recommended a complete valve job after a pessure test. Cost 450. Got new spark plugs also."

"Excessive oil consumption.....dealer test was a joke.....I have to add over 4 quarts of oil between recommended oil change interval (5k miles) and the dealer test showed that my car/engine is fine.....this is Toyota know issue..."

"All 4 pistons were replaced because of faulty O rings which caused important oil consumption. Toyota had a recall/notice on this problem."

"They rebuilt engine due to oil consumption problem which was not apparent to me. There were no leaks on ground. It really sounded like a "recall" although Toyota won't call it a recall. Is this legal?"

"This Camry was effected by the bad rings recall in the 4 cylinder version which included massive oil loss through burning. Toyota replaced the rings and rebuilt the engine under warranty. It runs like a dream now"

"Was burning oil and had a lot of exhaust emission. Received recall notice and the repair cost me several hundred dollars"

"2009 Camrys with 4 cylinder engines are prone to oil consumption problems due to defective pistons. My Camry's engine short block had to be replaced"

"Had problems with car using too much oil. Finally they did an engine oil test and found that the cylinders and pistons were not correct in their measurements. They had to rebuild the whole engine"

"An engine replacement was recommended to permanently solve the oil burning problem we are encountering. The cost is far in excess of the value of the car. We are putting in oil each week instead. I would NEVER buy another Toyota unless I had a gol"

"The engine was consuming oil so I had come in every 1,200 miles for a consumption test. Once the car consumed over a quart of oil in 1,200 miles Toyota rebuilt my engine. The good thing is I had the 100,000 mile extended warranty so I did not have"

"Excessive oil consumption caused me to buy a used engine"

"n August 2011, Toyota issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) about the defect, which read,Some 2006-2011 model year vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine may exhibit engine oil consumption. I learned this after the recall expired so I am stuck with a car the burns oil at ridiculous rate. I did not get the engine fixed as it would not be worth it."

"It was using a lot of oil. The dealer said it was a Toyota problem and replaced it."

"Engine developed excessive oil consumption. Toyota rebuilt motor under a recall for same."

"Engine abruptly started using oil. Online investigation noted a problem known to Toyota. After they tested it and since unit was within mileage limit (barely) Toyota rebuilt engine. We paid extra to have water pump replaced as well as other items while engine was out of vehicle since it was about time under normal maintenance and it was also a quid pro quo for Toyota to do the honorable thing. I would buy another Toyota in a heartbeat. My son wouldn't. He had to blow over two grand for brakes on his three year old Camry hybrid because the NTSB doesn't have a recall on it."

"Toyota did the test and told me the car was borderline, but they rebuilt the engine at no charge"

"Burns one quart of oil in 15 hundred miles"

"history of head gasket oil leaks in this model, inspection covered by warranty, completed but found no leakage."

"I do not know about repair"

"Blown head gasket after only 100,000 miles. Consumer reports rated the Camry as one of the most reliable used cars to buy, which is the main reason I bought it. So much for that report"

"At 118,000 miles, I had to replace the engine with a rebuilt one after the 4-cylinder engine had major oil leaks and a rod damaged the cylinder (Toyota dealership performed work). This replacement engine began burning 1-2 quarts of oil between 5000-mile oil change intervals at around 165,000 mile on car (47,000 on replacement engine). I had my local technician/shop evaluate the problem and they found that the head gasket was a partial cause. A family member, also a certified technician confirmed the assessment. Once the local shop did the replacement, I'm down to around 1/2 quart of oil burnt off every 5,000 miles."

"stopped loading/ejecting discs"

"Would not play or eject CDs"

"CD player disc sensor went bad. Would not load a CD"

"it wouldn't play or eject CD's"

"It occasionally won't load, unload or play CDs."

"a CD was stuck and would not reject. Was told the whole CD radio combination would be a $3000.00 item I declined"

"For two years, the CD player registers as having a CD in it when there is no CD in it."

"The volume control on the radio sometimes increases the volume when I try to decrease it. This only happens on the radio itself, not the steering wheel control"

"When hot weather causes the readout screen to go blank the radio cannot be used until it is out of the sun and cools down"

"Radio froze on a station and wouldn't allow me to change the station. Problem resolved itself before I had to take it in for service. Not sure what the problem was about"

"screen displayed symbolic characters and volume control knob stopped working"

"Radio stops working sporadically, esp via aux cord"

"The radio volume lowers when coming to a stop or slowing down."

"It seems that all the reported problem area's had to do with a wire bundle that was vibrating/rubbing in the center console, that runs up into the dash"

"One of the rear speakers stopped working. Blown speaker but never was played excessively loud"

"Sound system amplifier blew and entire system is now unUSble. Have to replace and is very expensive"

"Faulty engine mount created vibration hard to fing"

"burns too much oil with blue smokey exhaust. same as our old RAV4."

"When you start the engine after sitting over night smokes come from the exhaust indicating oil leaked."

"See engine replaement"

"It started with my oil light coming on before a regularly scheduled oil change. The oil light came on earlier ,before the next oil change. Then Toyota Service told me I qualified for a study that was warrantied if my oil/engine failed the test. It failed, therefore, burned enough oil to qualify for a rebuild of the engine, resulting in pistons being replaced."

"timing cover leak"

"See previous answer regarding engine repair. The engine was repaired under Toyota's oil consumption testing process."

"oil leak light went on after few months of driving in the past year or so. Dealer said there is a recall and took them couple times to diagnose and fix it"

"I may have a problem that Toyota has identified on other Camrys. I am waiting for a certain mileage to attained so that the dealer can verify that I have this problem. I don't have details on the problem, only that Toyota is doing something about it"

"Leaking drain plug. Had to replace oil pan"

"Camry seems to consume oil. Haven't had the oil consumption test done. Just keep it topped up. Doesn't leak externally, just consumes it"

"it was really an oil consumption problem and they fixed this issue under warranty"

"During regular oil changes w/ synthetic oil every 5,000 miles I have been told by technicians that my car is burning oil ( usually over 2 qts. Low) I was advised to take car to a Toyota dealer for a"Oil consumption test. Which I did. During the engine inspection they checked for recalls and installed a new dashboard at no charge. 1250 miles later I returned to check oil consumption and my car had consumed 7/10 of the required usage of oil. They told me to wait 6 months and return after ano"

"This vehicle uses two quarts of oil every 5000 miles. I had checked out by the dealer, but they said it was not bad enough for them to fix it"

"I lose a quarter of oil between oil changes now! Toyota sent me a letter for a test for me to do concerning this problem. I took the restricted test but didn't qualify for them to fix the problem. Had to drive between 1200 and 1300 miles which I did"

"Left Bank Valve Cover Gasket Leak..Replaced Gasket"

"At 125000 engine ran out of oil, found on internet that this yr model starts using oil"

"Valve cover needed tightening. Noticed it in AM when I checked oil."

"This vehicle burns engine oil. Every 3000km I have to check the oil and add some when needed. Over 6000km I have to add about 3L of oil. Mechanic says this model has this problem. There do not seem to be any oil dripping underneath the car."

"Engine is usually 2 quarts low every 5000 mile oil change, leading us to top it off every so often. No visible leaks or exhaust of burning oil."

"excessive oil use by the engine for the past 2 years; there is some oil seepage at oil pan gasket but no oil puddles when the car is parked."

"I made the mistake of switching to synthetic oil at the suggestion of the Toyota dealer and began to smell burned oil shortly after. I ultimately changed the valve gasket, you can do this yourself without a problem, and that solved the problem. You can do without synthetic oil...totally unnecessary."

"Car burns oil and leaks a bit; mechanic indicates this is typical for Camrys of this age"

"The clock runs fast but I like the 1999 Camry, Toyota it runs very good and I will take care of it and it is 110,000 miles. (I couldn't put the miles when was a question and some other questions?)"

"tire pressure comes om in cold weather goes away in warm weather"

"Regardless of tire pressure, the tire pressure light always on. Has even been replaced with no success"

"Warning light for low pressure refuses to go off even when pressure is fine. Dealership says it would cost $300 to fix the one sensor that has malfunctioned. They charged $250 to discover which sensor malfunctioned. Cost is too high"

"Hose or rubber conduit of the antifreeze was detached only once. Discovered a day after a routine maintenance; could have been done by the mechanic by mistake"

"The Compressor and the Condenser went out. Toyota wanted $3000 to repair them. I picked up the parts through a used and reconditioned parts house for $450. A friend of mine did the work for $250 saving me over $2000"

"heater controls hot air blowing in your face all the time even on defrost"

"In very cold weather the car takes too long to heat up and then when finally hot, the temp gauge then drops again below normal to me indicating a faulty thermostat, (soon to be replaced). Could this be the cause of my poor mileage I wonder? Time will"

"Making loud noise, so replaced it. (Probably bearings)."

"Replaced the battery. Nothing unusual about that."

"Basically a result of the alternator breaking down, the battery was bad"

"Warn"

"Battery was 6 years old and had corroded terminals. They replaced it as they said it was the cause of the problem, already discussed. The problem with starting still persists"
