CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Camry used to be adorned with our “Seal of Pretty Good†but that was before an alarming number of complaints started rolling in for excessive oil consumption.
Owners are being caught off-guard with how quickly their cars are running out of oil. No leaks, no spills, just 1 quart of vanishing oil in as little as 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains this is “normal†for the 2AZ-FE engine, even though they issued a TSB for the problem in August of 2011.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
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.
Every week, I use a cooler (standard size) for groceries and put the cooler in the trunk of my Camry. Whenever I make sharp turns, the lid of the trunk would pop open, probably because the cooler hits the latch inside the trunk. I consider it quite dangerous because items might fall out of the trunk if it's open. To mitigate the problem, we place pieces of cardboard around the cooler to prevent it from sliding around. We took it back to the Toyota dealer and they said this is the first time they have heard of this and there is nothing they can do about it. We use coolers all the time and never had this problem with other vehicles. Please investigate the issue. Thank you.
