Excessive Oil Consumption
2007 Toyota Camry (Page 2 of 15)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
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.

My car has excessive oil consumption but Toyota dealer refused to cover it under Toyota warranty enhancement because it has 198,640 miles. I discovered the problem when the car was under the warranty enhancement period but the Toyota dealer blamed the low oil on an oil pan gasket leak. I waited over a year before I fixed the leak and when I did just few month ago, my Toyota camry still low on oil. I took it few days ago to the same dealership and they told me there is no oil leak and it is low on oil because my car has excessive oil consumption and I need to replace the piston assembly to fix it which cost about $4900 and told me since the car has now 198,640 the warranty enhancement program is not going to cover it. I told them that it has been doing low on oil over a year an half ago which was under the enhancement warranty. They had me talk to Toyota hot-line but could not get it approved for repairs.
Please help me solve this issue with Toyota.
Thank you,
