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 was driving my 2007 Toyota Camry in a left turn and suddenly the steering wheel was locked up. I tried to hit the brakes, the brakes was locked up too. I lost control of the car and ran into woods. Car hit a tree in front and stopped, but none of the air bags deployed. Thus, my head hit steering wheel and got two cuts on my forehead. I was sent to er and had a surgery with 11 stitches. The car is a total lose now.

Wife was driving down hwy 77 Arkansas city Kansas, making a pass she lost control after she slid off shoulder at bend of the road. Out of the multiple air bags only one deployed the passengers side curtain. After reviewing the crash site and reading report the first hit to the car was drivers side front end, it was a very hard hit. Steering bag should have gone off as it dug into a turn around mound. Went up and down wide median ditch starting a six turn rolling of the 2007 Toyota Camry. She went out sun roof even though she had seat belt on. Medical report stats seat belt marks and severe leg injuries. She will never be the same and I'm lucky to still have her. I will use all means to find out why the so called safety features on this car did not prevent some of the damage to this wonderful women.

On Oct 13,2007 my 4yr old daughter and I were involved in a head on collision at less than 10M/H and all three airbags in my 2007 red Camry SC deployed and the knee airbag gave my right lower leg a bad blood clot where I had to miss work from over a month. I was not aware of any airbag recalls till after the crash and I had purchased to 2007 Camry. I was only notified of the floormat recall. I was highly upset especially since I work for the Japanese automaker. I can tell you safety and defects are not a high priority at Toyota in Kentucky there are several unsafe things going on. Quantity is over quality.

My 2007 Camry SE was T-boned on the driver side by a 2006 Saab. The Saab's airbags went off and the car was considered totalled. The point of impact was the front end of the Saab into the drivers side door - estimated speed was 30mph. No airbags went off in the 2007 Camry! no indicators we lit on the dash. The car had 5500 miles on it. The car was repaired and not totaled because the airbags did not go off. Total repairs on this car are currently around $14,000
