Excessive oil consumption, I was not sent a recall notice on excessive oil consumption of my 2009 Toyota Camry that I purchased on 9/30/2009. Excessive oil consumption relates to the manufacturer defect of the 2009 and other model cars. The pistons and motor did not fit correctly which is causing excessive oil consumption along with other problems that relate to it. I bought my car in 2009, the problem was discovered between 2008-2015. I was not sent a recall notice so I could have brought my car in to fix it. The problem does not show up until the warranty expires or 60,000 later. I was not sent a recall because my car was new and it would be years before the problem starts to happen. I should have been notified regardless. I take good care of my car's maintenance. When I found out about the recall about 2 years ago from google the internet and I saw the class action lawsuits that was field. I still was not notified about the recalls. Now the problem is happening. Please help me I can not afford another car. Everyone should have been notified about the recall.

Bob Tyler Toyota sold me a 2009 Toyota Camry when they knew that the 2009 Camrys had an oil consumption problem. I learned of a class action lawsuit that was filed against Toyota regarding this problem. Toyota announced a program to extend warranty coverage to address customer complaints of Excessive Engine Oil Consumption on certain 2007-2009 Camrys. Toyota was supposed to replace parts on the affected Toyota Camrys for vehicles exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. Eligibility for part replacement under this warranty enhancement Program is dependent on a Toyota dealer engine oil consumption test in accordance with T-SB-0158-14(Toyota) and S-SB-0031-14(Scion). I took my Toyota Camry to Bob Tyler for routine maintenance/oil changes and other maintenance. I noticed that my Toyota was burning a quart of oil every few hundred miles. I took my Camry to Bob Tyler Toyota and they did the oil consumption test and stated that my car narrowly passed so it did not qualify to be fixed. Since my Camry has gotten worse. My Camry only has 108,000 miles on it which is less than the cutoff mileage that Toyota has set for oil consumption problems. I took my Toyota back to Bob Tyler this year and was advised that my Camry is over the age limit for the Oil Consumption problem. I met with Bob Tyler and advised him of the problem that I was having with my 2009 Toyota Camry. I advised that my Camry has been burning oil and that the maintenance department never brought it to my attention before the age of my Camry exceeded the warranty cutoff. Bob Tyler said it was not his problem. Bob Tyler Toyota never made it clear when the cutoff age/mileage for a car to be covered started and ended. Bob Tyler now refuses to do repairs on my Camry and it is getting worse. Bob Tyler knows that this oil problem is hazardous to the driver and passengers. I would like to have my Camry repaired or receive refund in amount of repair cost so I can have it repaired at a different Toyota Dealership.

I have been the sole owner of this Camry. Back in 2015 I took it to a dealership for service and brought up to the technician that the dashboard was sticky. At the time they said there was nothing I could do about it and replacing it would cost me a lot of money. Now 4 years later I find out that there was a warranty enhancement that covered the dashboard. My dashboard is now so sticky that it is glistening. I tried to use a sun visor hoping it would slow the rate of melting but then my sun visor would stick to the dashboard. I place a hat on the dashboard once for 10 minutes and when I removed it there was black residue. Finally, I have a child now and when he gets into the car he has put his hands on the dashboard and gotten the black debris and chemicals on his hands and I am now concerned for his health and safety. There was also a warranty enhancement with the oil consumption. My spouse changes my oil for me and over the last several years commented that I was surprisingly very low on oil. I am wondering why I have not received any notice from Toyota for either of these issues even though they claim notices were sent out. I have opened a case with Toyota #1911082336. They tell me that I am out of the window for repair and it would now have to be out of pocket which is very frustrating considering I notified them of the dashboard issue before.

Accelerator gets stuck open. I took my foot off the gas and the vehicle accelerated. It would rev at high speeds when I stepped on the brake. I tried downshifting with no effect. When I finally stopped at a stoplight with both feet on the brakes the engine revved up to very high rpms, even when I put the vehicle in park. Then it finally stalled out.

Oil consumtion and white smoke coming from carwhen starting and fumes going into house

- Scottsdale, AZ, USA

On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 RPM) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when A/C is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance. May be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but I am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?

2 complaints: 1. when I depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where I have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, I pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. the Camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles I have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.

Excessive oil consumption recall: Over the last year I noticed my oil consumption was drastically increasing. I started burning through oil and having to add a quart every 2 months and now monthly. In the past few months, a very large plume of white smoke would spew out of my tail pipes; not just a little but a large cloud of smoke. It has a very burnt smell to it too. The smoke dissipates after the car warms and as long as the car is warm, it will not smoke. It only smoke when the vehicle has been off for over 2-3 hours. I was told by a certified Toyota mechanic that I need to replace the engine due to faulty internal parts. He stated it was the reason for such a high level of oil consumption. I discovered that Toyota is currently recalling certain engine blocks due to oil consumption defects, however my VIN number is not part of that recall as of now. According to Toyota, my VIN could eventually become part of the recall (oil consumption recall) but as of now, it is not. I don't understand how a major manufacturer will not stand by their product and repair my engine considering they are already recalling other engines with the exact same issues I am having with my Camry. This was my first Camry too. Very disappointed with Toyota.

Moved to tx in 2012 and have not had any previous starting issues before moving. Attempted to start the vehicle during my lunch break, engine turned over but was unable to start. Attempted to start the car again and the engine cranked and started with a hard "jolt" as if the gear shift was out of position. Several days later the temperature was warmer and the same problem occurred. Scheduled a appointment with my local Toyota dealership and was told all systems were normal and they could not determine the cause of the problem since they could not replicate starting issue. The starting issue occurs on relatively hot days, turning the key to "on" before starting does not help the problem, the second start attempt is usually a "hard" start such that it feels as if the engine is jerking. Toyota should investigate electrical/fuel/and air components to determine the cause of this starting problem, especially since the issues seems to be temperature related.

After having car serviced for the 30,000 mile service, I noticed that the car wasn't holdin power. I took the car back to South bay Toyota, they test drove it found nothing wrong. Still having the problem, the following Monday, I took the car to the original Toyota that I purchased it from to have them recheck it, they found nothing wrong, they said they test drove it also. As a result there was no charge. They told me to take it back to South bay Toyota because they were not responsible for their work. At South bay, the technician hooked it up to the computerized monitor to check it; and there were no signals to indicate a problem in the car. I stopped at tony's auto shop also. He found nothing wrong- he test drove it. Finally, today, I took it over to another mechanic's shop and I rode with him as he test drove it; he discovered that it was the "throttle" and that I needed to take it back to the dealer and have them upgrade the software in the car or double check the throttle: That is where the pressure is being lost. When you press down on the gas pedal, the system is not recognizing the pressure.
