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.
This car pulls to the left constantly. I bought new tires and had two wheel alignments since all within the past year and 1/2 (and have never even bumped a curb). I am so tired of dealing with this issue. It has been my first Toyota product as I have always been a Ford person and never had issues with those. Only 40k miles and I am ready to go back to a Ford. (So much for Camry's supposedly being such a good product).
09 Camry has 23k at14 months old with 6 alignments from two local dealerships and one independent shop. I feel this is an defect. The car goes to the left progressively as time passes, 3 to 5k laspe where it gets too annoying. Same old story with no solution. Nobody can actually determine what the problem is, therefore no solution. All the cars I've driven and never had this issue. My 2000 Camry never needed an alignment with 123k when traded in on this one. Wish I kept it. Don't know where to go from here, tired of dealing with it and the expense.

Had dealership check steering and do an alignment. They stated they could not find anything wrong even after they test drove it.
