CarComplaints.com Notes: Owners are reporting that their engines are running out of oil awfully quick. As in, 1 quart every 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains that’s with the “normal†operating range of the 2AZ-FE while owners maintain that’s complete BS.

The 2008 Toyota Camry SE has a oil consumption problem, Toyota has known about this issues since their 2007 Camry models and continued their deception through the 2009 Camry models. I've had my vehicle tested twice by the local dealer only to be misled. My vehicle has been loosing oil since the first months of parches. Toyota has been concealing the oil consumption issue from the owners of these vehicles.
Excessive engine consumption which started after 145,000 and because I don't put a lot of miles on my car. I am out of warranty which expired March 2018. I feel because the issue is a mileage issue this should be recall because of the number of cars involved.the car has lost mpg and takes one quart a month.
Oil consumption. At 78,000 miles required a quart of oil after 3,000 miles but gets progressively worse. Now at 135,794 miles used a quart of oil after just 459 miles.
Hi, my vehicle is like crazy burning oil and it's onli 142,300 K miles I know that is a manufacturer problem which the rings and pistons I would like to have someone contacting me from the Toyota manufacturing I really appreciate thank you. Here is my imail (xxxxxxx) thank you so much.. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My engine is burning oil at a fast rate. I have to add 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes in order to keep the correct oil level. It has just over 100,000 miles so it is out of the 60K mike powertrain warranty. This wasn't a problem for my car until around 90K miles. So it was already out of the warranty range when I discovered something was wrong. This is a faulty design by Toyota and the car should be recalled and fixed at no cost to the consumer. Their brand is built on reliability and that's what I thought I was getting when I purchased this car. I was deceived by Toyota.
This is in regards to the class action lawsuit filed against Toyota for the oil consumption for 2006-2011 vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine. I purchased my 2008 Toyota Camry SE in February of 2008. In March of this year as I was driving the oil light kept going on and I had just had an oil change not long before this happened. I stopped to have my oil checked and found out that I had almost no oil in my engine. Put the oil in and it happened again. I began to research and found that Toyota knowingly sold the vehicles with the piston defect. I called Toyota and they told me they would not honor the repair due to the fact that it was over the 10 year anniversary date. The mileage was under 150,000 (112,000) and I was 2 months past the date and they will not honor the repairs to my vehicle. I have attached the oil consumption test invoice done by a Toyota dealer and the letter sent to Toyota. I can not afford to spend $3000 to $5000 to fix this problem. The car has also lost value and I could find myself in a dangerous situation if the engine fails. I need to know my options. Toyota should fix my car at no charge to me.
My vehicle has a oil consumption issue. I know there was recently a recall on this issue however I took the vehicle to Toyota and they stated I needed to get the oil changed then drive 1000 miles. I did as they said and took it back just for them to tell me that the recall expired!!!! I never recieved any notices via mail or email. I feel as though they need to do something about this oil consumption
The enginesystem loss engine oil at 80 K miles and have white smoog on the exhaust, Toyota no send me a recall about this problem and no asum responsabilite about that, in the service deeler notice about this problem and send me contact white Toyota, when happen the vehicle was stationary, the vehicle will be burn the engine system if the problem no is corrected07
Engine oil warning light came on and almost stalled engine on highway after breaking hard. Heard later on about the excessive oil consumption problem because of poor rings. This can be dangerous.
Took the car on a long trip across the country. Had an oil change just before the trip. As we were arriving home, we lost power going up hills. Pulled over and checked oil. It was low... very low. No warning lights or check engine ever came on. Took it to the dealer. They said that it now needs new rings and that the cylinder's are scored. Repairs totaling over $10,000. Apparently there is a known defect with these cars that they burn oil. The low oil warning light didn't come on when I was 3 1/2 quarts low on oil. That is unacceptable! this car has been ruined due to this defect.
I purchased the car in spring of 2015 and after about a year of having the car when I would bring in the car for oil changes the oil level was low and about a year ago the oil wasn't even registering on the oil stick and it has been burning oil at about 2 quarts every 1000 to 1500 miles. I took it to a mechanic today who checked out to make sure there was no oil leaks and he did not see any signs of oil outside the engine and only suggestion was to put new motor in or tear the current motor apart and replace anything worn which still may not solve the problem. So for now I'm going to get oil topped off every 1000 miles which is a major pain having to watch and remember when the last time I was in for a top off so I don't run my engine dry.
My 2008 Camry le has 35,000 miles on it. The coolant level has always been maintained. I am the original owner. The water pump bearings failed so that the pump made grinding noises, the drive shaft was wobbling, and the pump was leaking coolant. The noises began abruptly while the vehicle was being driven (6/16/18). I took the car to a shop (6/20/18) and replaced the pump, making sure the shop put in longlife coolant and replaced all the old coolant. A check of complaints against Toyota water pump complaints reveals that premature failures are a common problem in Camry between 2007 and 2009. Toyota does not want to accept responsibility for replacing the pumps. I kept the old water pump, serpentine belt, and shop invoice. I would like my costs reimbursed.
The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle vibrated violently. The contact lost control of the vehicle, but was able to stop. The contact powered off the engine and attempted to restart the vehicle, but was unsuccessful. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed that the vehicle was out of oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. No further assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
Sticky dashboard causing serious light reflection when driving and engine burning lots of oil. Have to keep up with topping engine oil often even though oil change not due
