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.

The smell is terrible and the windows are fogged up on the inside every time I get into the car. The Toyota dealer wants $8,000 to demold the interior of the car and for me to authorize seven hours of labor just for them to find the problem! I cannot afford to spend this much money on a car that is almost five years old. I have read about others having a similar problem. Toyota should step up to the plate and provide me with another vehicle as I cannot afford to purchase another brand-new car.

TOYOTA IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF COMPANY. AMERICAN COMPANIES DON'T REALIZE HOW TOYOTA KEEPS UNDER THE RADAR AND HOW THEIR RECALLS ARE NOT REPORTED. THE CAR WAS FULL OF MOLD SINCE I BOUGHT IT, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SUNNYSIDE AGREES BUT WON'T FIX IT, HE SAID 10 HOURS IS TOO LONG. NOW, I BROUGHT MY CAMRY TO PREMIER TOYOTA IN AMHERST FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY CAME UP WITH ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE WRONG. MY HUSBAND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND IT IS FINE. THE WATER PUMP WAS NOT LEAKING, 24 HOUR STANDING TEST, THE BRAKES WERE NOT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED, MY HUSBAND TOO THEM APART AND THEY ARE FIND, THE BATTERY WAS NOT LOW, IT WAS 100 PERCENT. PREMIER LIED.
