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 carmy has had the sticky dash problem for over a year and I finally did some research about it, only to find out that Toyota had a warranty program that expired a month go, 31 May 2017. I called them up and they promptly refused to replace my dash. There are still many cars out there that were not fixed adn this problem can cause distracting glare during high heat. Can anybody suggest a course of action" maybe potentially suing them to get them to repair more cars"
My passenger side sun visor keeps falling down and is impeding my line of sight while driving. The visor will not stay up and replacements seem to also fail per the site listed below. Many users report the same issues here: Https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-Toyota-Camry-and-Camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-6 Toyota offered a extended warranty however it expires 7 years after initial purchase date of the vehicle. My vehicle is a 2007 and not covered. This is a safety issue and should be deemed a recall issue.
"takata recall" sun visor flopped down on drivers side. Apparently it's an issue with 2007-2011 Camry's. cars that are older than mine aren't having this problem. Toyota should recognize this issue.
When I first purchased my Camry, I noticed the dashboard was very shiny and I thought maybe that was due to the dealership cleaning it up for me because I just purchased it. Over time I noticed that the shine started to become an issue with me while driving especially during the hot and sunny time frame of the day. So one day I decided to take my hand and just rub the dash to see if it'll take some of the shine away and as soon as I touched it my hand got stuck and burnt from the heat of the "sticky dashboard" so when I got home I decided to try and clean it with some soap and water to see if it'll remove the stickiness and unfortunately it didn't work. My cousin has the same car and I called her to see what I should do and much to her amazement she disclosed with me that she is having the same issue with her 2007 Camry as well. So I took my car to a guy who details cars and not only did he state that he has seen this problem before on the 2007 Camry's but he has seen the same issue on this specific car in other states because he was from NY and also lived in Georgia and detailed cars in those states as well. This has become a nuisance now because it is blinding me as I drive unless I put a cloth over my dash and then I have trouble removing it because it is literally glued down to it after the fact. My daughter unbeknownst to the fact that it was hot decided to reach up and wipe it so the glare would go away as well and she burnt her hand too. I strongly believe this needs to be investigated and a recall should be issued as this is definitely a defect on these cars.
The dashboard appears to be melting. Learned that there is a warranty enhancement on the vehicle but Toyota says the warranty enhancement ended as oh May 31, 2017. Car was purchase on 2/8/08 within the gen year mark as a certified pre owned vehicle. Did not receive a notice or call about this warranty enhancement and was told by Toyota that nothing can be done because it was a mandate by the national highway traffic administration
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and the whole dashboard of the car is extremely sticky. As if the put glue all over it. I want to know how I am able to remove this stickiness without having to change the whole dashboard.
Takata recall: I took my 2007 Toyota Camry 4 cyl for the bulletin it has of oil consuption and it pass the test twice, I knew there was something wrong but as the technicians told me it was okay I drove it like that for some months still had to add every 1,000 miles 1 Q of oil. Kept doing this until my engine blew. Now irs my fault and they dont want to pay for the repair. Total unjustice from Toyota.
For some time my dashboard has been sticky and glossy. The reflection at night in addition to glare from oncoming cars is blinding and a safety hazard. I've tried numerous products in an attempt to clean/remove this tackiness. Nothing work. Also the passenger visor "hinge" seems to have gotten hot and bent that I can't to reattach the sor. Currently it keeps dangling. My vehicle is/was stationary.
The dashboard in my 2007 Toyota Camry is melting and has taken on a very sticky and shiny appearance. Every little thing sticks to the dash and it can't be cleaned. Not only can't it be cleaned, it also creates a large dangerous glare on the windshield while driving in the day.
My mother has a sticky dashboard and this causes a potiential glare on the windshield. She has been in two accidents since she got this car and I am concerned this could be impeding hr vision and am concerned for her safety.Lexus noticed the stickiness and referred me to the local dealership.I called the main Toyota number and the referred is to the local dealership.the local dealership left a message on my mom's answering machine before looking at the car that this is not a recall.I feel my mom had been discriminated against because she is elderly and her first language is not english.any assistance is appreciated.
My ABS doesn't work in my car and caused me to have accident. It was snowing and I began sliding, when I slammed on my breaks the car spun around and hit a pole. If ABS was working this wouldn't have happened. The breaks would have pumped and gradually came to a stop.
