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.

problem #2

Jun 082010

Camry LE 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,275 miles

I complained that rear brakes are noisy and making vibration when I'm braking. First Toyota service tried to explain that pads are low and I have to pay for service. After I checked the pads one was completely gone only metal left and other was like new.

Then Toyota service replaced rear brake pads and rotors under the warranty.

problem #1

Jun 222011

Camry LE 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,374 miles

I report vibration and grinding noise from front brakes.

On Toyota service invoice is showing only grinding noise.

They report is seeing that front brake pads ore good 7mm left, and rotors are rusted.

Rotors are not making vibration from the rust. Rotors are very cheap quality and they are bending. I think this is the trick how the companies are making money.

After many complaints Toyota didn't want to fix the problem.

Shame Toyota
