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.
I have 2009 Toyota Camry with 40000 miles on it. I started hearing soft knocking noise at low speed or when backing up the driveway. When the car is not moving, I can hear this noise too if I turn the steering wheel to the left. However, it doesn't make that noise when I turn the steering wheel to the right. It's very irritating and I'm worried that the problem will become bigger later.
I brought it to the dealer but they said they didn't hear it. I'm going back again soon to show it to the mechanic.
If anybody has solution to this problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance
There was a clunking noise from the front end while turning at low speeds. It sounded like it was a bad motor mount. I had to have the steering intermediate shaft replaced because the joint was binding.

Steering keeps clunking when I turn and it's so annoying, but I guess I just have to deal with it.
