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.

Electronic throttle system of my Toyota Camry is defective and is hesitant at low speeds. It can be a safety issue, such that the car does not accelerate when required. I have referred to Toyota dealership and they say there were more complaints about this, but there is no remedy available.
The 2007 Camry le has a serious design flaw. When the accelerator is depressed at slow speeds, nothing happens. This is an extremely dangerous situation when changing lanes or pulling out in traffic.
