CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.
Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.
Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal†amount of oil.
Th car has 'locked itself' intermittently since I first bought it. Not sure of the date or mileage, but I believe I got it in the summer or fall of 2006 and I have no idea what the mileage was when it first happened.
If I leave my car unlocked, it will lock itself. this has happened several times, but this weekend, I knew it wasn't my imagination. I was out in my yard and the keys were inside the house (I live alone, so nobody touched the keys). I heard the car beep as if it was being locked/unlocked. sure enough, the car locked itself. Again, the dealer can't get it to do this so I don't how to resolve it. the car is still under warranty.
