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.
FOR TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2009 ENGINE BEGIN TO CONSUME MORE GASOLINE THAN PREVIOUS MILEAGE USAGE.. DON'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER ON THE STICKER CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A FORD MUSTANG INSTEAD OF A TOYOTA.
AFTER 70,000 MILE OR SO YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF. TAKE MY WORDS FOR IT NOT WORTH TO BUY THIS MODEL OR MAYBE NOT BUY THE TOYOTA BECAUSE WE
This car absolutely gets the worst gas mileage of any car i have ever driven- you'd be luck to get 3-5 miles out of one gallon of gas - it totally sucks - and i just had everything checked- and had good synthetic oil put in it, all filters checked and tires rotated- 15000 manual check up and mileage still sucks- so what exactly would be the issue here??????????Its not an old car , has low miles , has been driven hard to my knowledge- what would cause such poor mileage- when it says it should get 23 miles to the gallon in the city???Got any explanations for me????????????
Toyota said the the 2009 Toyota Camry LE I4 can get about 34 miles to a gallon of fuel for highway driving. Ever since I drove my new Camry, I never got a gas mileage higher than 24 miles to a gallon for highway driving, and using regular plus fuel.
I bought the 2009 Camry in May 2009. It had about 500 miles on it when I drove from WA to AZ and return. It got 29 mpg and since the last four Toyotas and Honda got 35 to 37 mpg on the road, I complained to the dealer. They told me that the computer says it is OK and there is nothing they can do. I asked if I was getting 18 mpg on the road and the computer said it was OK, would that be it? He said that might be a little low.
I bought this new 4 cylinder Camry for the advertises gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon, after 6000+ miles the best I have been able to get is 24.9 miles combined Hwy and city (most of my driving is highway).
The Chevy pick-up with I traded in on this car got 19.1 miles combined Hwy and city .
