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.

So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
During driving or in a stop light the warning lights of vcs system lights up without any reason and then went to normal. I've noticed then that this usually happened when some weighted vehicles passed beside mine that caused a rough road movement or some high loud. One time passed just before a routine checkup (oil & filter). I called back to the service and told me that it was a resetting of the car system."??" this has passed for a few times every year but this time the warning lights still and it shown a diagnosis with abnormal leak in the accumulator which I've told that this should not be happened in an hybrid model.
