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.

Driver side sun visor is drooping and does not stay in position. It always tilts downward. This results in obstructed visibility while driving. Toyota warranty policy bulletin pol12-03 does not cover this defect for my VIN #; therefore, I did not find out about this warranty policy bulletin before the expiration period of seven years from first use. Contacted Toyota and they indicated that this repair is not covered under warranty for my car since it is not on the list of affected VIN #S. this sun visor should be the same part number found in affected VIN #S. from several online Toyota car owner forums, this type of issue is common occurrence for owners of cars not covered by the warranty policy bulletin because their VIN # was not included on the list.
2007 Toyota Camry oil consumption recall was never fixed properly tried to take it to dealership sever times but was told that my car showed as not having that issue power windows recall button gets stuck. Oil is constantly running low or empty and sensor is not coming on as well as no oil leaking out of vehicle even after oil change has taken place. Have to manually check and add oil to vehicle which is dangerous
I had 1000 miles left til my next oil change and on the day the problem happened one of the pistons blew up because there was no oil left in the car also the oil light never came on indicating I needed oil. I am the original owner of this vehicle I have service records of all oil changes on time. Toyota never sent out a mail regaurding this problem
The driver side viser does not stay in its secure storing location. The visor will continually fall down obstructing the driver's view of the road. The only way to resolve the issue is to have it opened against the windshield at all time.

My carmy has had the sticky dash problem for over a year and I finally did some research about it, only to find out that Toyota had a warranty program that expired a month go, 31 May 2017. I called them up and they promptly refused to replace my dash. There are still many cars out there that were not fixed adn this problem can cause distracting glare during high heat. Can anybody suggest a course of action" maybe potentially suing them to get them to repair more cars"
My passenger side sun visor keeps falling down and is impeding my line of sight while driving. The visor will not stay up and replacements seem to also fail per the site listed below. Many users report the same issues here: Https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-Toyota-Camry-and-Camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-6 Toyota offered a extended warranty however it expires 7 years after initial purchase date of the vehicle. My vehicle is a 2007 and not covered. This is a safety issue and should be deemed a recall issue.
"takata recall" sun visor flopped down on drivers side. Apparently it's an issue with 2007-2011 Camry's. cars that are older than mine aren't having this problem. Toyota should recognize this issue.
When I first purchased my Camry, I noticed the dashboard was very shiny and I thought maybe that was due to the dealership cleaning it up for me because I just purchased it. Over time I noticed that the shine started to become an issue with me while driving especially during the hot and sunny time frame of the day. So one day I decided to take my hand and just rub the dash to see if it'll take some of the shine away and as soon as I touched it my hand got stuck and burnt from the heat of the "sticky dashboard" so when I got home I decided to try and clean it with some soap and water to see if it'll remove the stickiness and unfortunately it didn't work. My cousin has the same car and I called her to see what I should do and much to her amazement she disclosed with me that she is having the same issue with her 2007 Camry as well. So I took my car to a guy who details cars and not only did he state that he has seen this problem before on the 2007 Camry's but he has seen the same issue on this specific car in other states because he was from NY and also lived in Georgia and detailed cars in those states as well. This has become a nuisance now because it is blinding me as I drive unless I put a cloth over my dash and then I have trouble removing it because it is literally glued down to it after the fact. My daughter unbeknownst to the fact that it was hot decided to reach up and wipe it so the glare would go away as well and she burnt her hand too. I strongly believe this needs to be investigated and a recall should be issued as this is definitely a defect on these cars.
The dashboard appears to be melting. Learned that there is a warranty enhancement on the vehicle but Toyota says the warranty enhancement ended as oh May 31, 2017. Car was purchase on 2/8/08 within the gen year mark as a certified pre owned vehicle. Did not receive a notice or call about this warranty enhancement and was told by Toyota that nothing can be done because it was a mandate by the national highway traffic administration
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and the whole dashboard of the car is extremely sticky. As if the put glue all over it. I want to know how I am able to remove this stickiness without having to change the whole dashboard.
Takata recall: I took my 2007 Toyota Camry 4 cyl for the bulletin it has of oil consuption and it pass the test twice, I knew there was something wrong but as the technicians told me it was okay I drove it like that for some months still had to add every 1,000 miles 1 Q of oil. Kept doing this until my engine blew. Now irs my fault and they dont want to pay for the repair. Total unjustice from Toyota.
