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.
Thrice now, the car has gone off while on motion. The brakes, the odometer, and every other thing goes unresponsive. Upon taking it to the mechanic shop, was told the brain box is faulty. Also, I've had problems upon problems from the battery being drained to the alternator been faulty, to the AC getting damaged, and all sorts of problems. Since I bought the car, hardly will a month go by without visiting a mechanic shop.
