CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.
Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.
Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal†amount of oil.

I bought 2007 Camry le at poway Toyota last 7-25-06. About 2nd week of August I pulled the latch hood opener inside my car to check my engine and next thing you know the handle that was holding the wire broke. Now, everytime I have to open my hood I have to pull the wire because the plastic that was holding the wire broke off. I owned a Honda civic for 11 yrs and my hood opener never breaks. I have not yet report this incident at poway Toyota because there was an incident at that time when I serviced my car for teflon and scotch guard and when I got my car back they scrape the bottom front panel of my car and for my inconvenience I have to bring it there to have them fix it free of charge. I was not happy at all at their service after what they've done to my brand new car which I just bought last 7-25 and I don't know what else I would find a defect to my car.
