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.
Had brakes replaced after wearing out. New brakes give constant vibrating when decelerating from fast speeds. Feel they are going to drop front wheels. Mechanic says no problem.
My car has had chronic brake problems since I bought it. One day I was getting oil changed and mentioned something goes wrong when going down a grade and you apply brakes, like you feel the brakes let go and you slide a short while before they stop. Man in Toyota says oh didn't you know brakes were all recalled. I asked where is the recall notice you sent me? he goes well we didn't send them to everyone because maybe you didn't have a problem. Are you kidding me? Brake problem and no recall sent so they did replace all 4 rotors and pads but my Gosh could have killed someone. Since my car has had rotors and pads replaced about 5 times. There was also a computer update they never contacted me about. You go to pull out and the car dies almost got slammed a few times, robbed my gas mileage car never had any pep.
Recall after recall. Not buying another Toyota!!! Now I see high mileage usage and YES I can't keep oil in it.
Toyota has lost a lot of customers because they have lied and not sent out recalls to protect people.

The steering wheel now shakes when braking at high speeds (ie. 60-70 MPH) and the stopping distance is definitely negatively affected.
