No one said anything about it, but now I am burning 2 quarts between oil change at least. Since we live in remote area, I check between trips to town and noticing it is getting worse. No oil leaks, so it must be burning it. Talked to a Toyota Master Tech and he said there was a paper on it, but due to my miles now, we have to pay. Absolutely not acceptable. We have been toyota users since 1997 and will shift to another next auto. Mechanics never said I was burning oil, just did the oil change. Loved Toyota once.

I bought Toyota Camry XLE because I thought they were reliable cars. I asked the salesman if there was anything wrong or any type of recalls on the vehicle. I was told it was just traded in by a local couple and is considered one of Toyota's best cars and best engines,2.4L. Within the first month of ownership and about 1000 miles I noticed the oil was low by one quart. Toyota says this is normal as cars get older, but I also own a Mercury Grand Marquis with over 200,000 miles which does not burn a drop even after 7500 miles.The Camry is such a beautiful car and otherwise is in near perfect condition. I looked up Toyota recalls and the only thing mentioned is this complaint site. If anybody knows of any legal actions that can be taken, I would love to know about them. I am very disappointed in the service Toyota has provided. I should have stuck with Ford.

I have a 2007 Camry that I bought new. After a few years I noticed that the engine was burning oil. As I do all of my oil changes, I noticed over the years that the oil consumption was getting greater and greater. My engine was consuming approx. 1qt. of oil every 800 miles. I went on line and searched "2007 Camry Oil Consumption" and found that others were having the very same issue with their Camrys and that Toyota provided an extended warranty on 2.4L engines with this problem. I've lived at my current address for more than 20 years and never received a notice from Toyota abut this problem. Upon finding out about the extended warranty in 2016 I took my Camry to the local Toyota Dealership (Halterman's Toyota in East Stroudsburg, Pa.) which did an oil consumption test. As expected, my engine failed the test miserably and the dealership agreed to fix it under warranty. And that Toyota would provide me with a loaner car while the repairs are being done. At this point my car had approx. 103,000 miles on it. It took approx. one week for the repairs (new pistons, piston rings, gaskets, etc.) and Toyota held true to their promises. The engine is no longer burning excessive oil.

However, I would like to add a comment about the dealership. When I was notified that the repairs were completed the first time I checked out the repair and noticed that the engine had very little oil in it and that there was very little coolant in the radiator and none in the overflow bottle. The service manager said that they were sorry and that they would make sure that all of the fluids would topped off when I picked up my Camry on the following day. I went back to the dealership on the following day and all of the fluids were topped of as they promised but now I noticed that air conditioning wouldn't blow any cold air ( they purged the system and didn't recharge it). Again, excuses from the service manager and this time they would recharge the air conditioning while I waited. Fast forward approx.,2 weeks and the "CHECK ENGINE" light turns on. I have a code reader and the codes that were logged were" Cylinder Misfires on cylinders 1,2,3, and 4". Being disgusted with Halterman's Service Center I decided to fix it myself. What I found was when the engine was reassembled the camshaft timing for both intake and exhaust was way off. After restoring the camshaft timing, no more "Check Engine" light and no more oil consumption.

Beware the Service Dept. at this dealership is TERRIBLE!!!

On my regular oil change, the mechanic informed me that the oil was nearly gone. He had no reason as to why this happened as he was the one that changed the oil. I decided to get a second opinion and was recommended another mechanic. Requested an oil change and again the same thing happened as the oil had considered consumed and informed the new mechanic. It was at that time he informed me of the oil consumption that was a major concern and that I had to now monitor the oil. I am now averaging 1 quart of oil every 1000-1400 miles. This has become a serious concern for me. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BY TOYOTA. They obviously knew of the defect and still continued to sell without no recourse. As the mechanic commented, " Toyota was one of the reputable and has now lost that, as this manufacturer was considered to be most reliable". I hope they will recall all vehicles with this issue. I will not purchase another car from Toyota.

My 2007 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder burns oil bad. First noticed it in 2015 when the low oil pressure light came on while my wife was driving. In 2016 the dealership told me that it was a common problem with 2007 Camrys, and the fix is new piston rings, but the warranty or recall had expired! The problem has continued for the last 3 years.

Given that the fix would cost thousands, I just add oil. I add 2 quarts every other time I fill up the gas tank, so that works out to about 1 quart burned every 400 miles. It's a major annoyance, and I worry about one day forgetting, running the engine dry and burning it up! Hopefully I'll keep remembering to add the oil.

Having purchased this vehicle from a previous owner, I was not entirely sure what I would be facing in the realm of auto maintenance whether in the immediate or relatively distant future. He told me that he had the car serviced regularly, he never had any issues with the vehicle, and that it was a great car. My guess is that by having work done in the shop, he was never made privy to the amount of oil his Toyota went through.

Now it's my Toyota, has been for the better portion of three years.

While I do enjoy driving this car, it does well getting me where I need to go, I have always been blown away by how much oil I actually need to put in the engine just between oil changes (I do it myself...had a garage stiff me a whole quart one time and ran out halfway across the Mass Pike...that was the end of taking it in somewhere).

Upon reading the owner's manual, I noticed that it does state there is an expected amount of oil that will be consumed over a certain amount of miles, however, my Toyota's rate of consumption far exceeds this. I am putting so much oil in that sometimes I feel like oil changes are a waste of resources considering the rate at which I'm adding fresh oil. By changing the oil I'm draining about a quart or two of oil that is virtually fresh. The only other car owners who ever mention adding SOME oil between changes own old trucks/car with larger, more powerful engines. Naturally, those cars will burn a bit due to the load continually put on the engine and thus the seals in it.

I should not have to add oil to a car at the rate I do. I should not be expected to pay extra to maintain an engine that was negligently engineered. I know that Toyota got into some hot water for this a while back, just hoping the water hasn't cooled off too much and I can still get this taken care of. Ignorance is bliss, but it sure makes for increased annoyance/frustration when revelation occurs.

I have my oil changed about every 3,000 to 5,000 miles at the Toyota dealer. My husband ask me to ask the Toyota dealer to check for an oil leak because my oil level would be low before my next oil change. They told me I did not have an oil leak and they did not know why my oil was low before each oil change. My husband did some research on the 2007 Toyota Camry and found out Toyota knows there is an issue with the 2007 Camry burns oil excessively. The Toyota dealer knows about this and did not say anything! Why has Toyota or the dealer not told me about this problem! Are they going to wait until my engine lock up?! I bought my 2007 Camry brand new and have been the only owner. I love my car and it's my only transportation. What can I do?! They should have told me about this over a year ago and fixed the problem!

I am in the process of looking for an attorney to take this matter up as a class action. The case that was filed before was voluntarily dismissed and there are no pending lawsuits on this issue right now. One needs to be as I see so many having the same issues as me. If you are interested in being part of the this, please send me a way to contact you and I can fill you on the details. Thanks

I have 2 of these affected cars. One had already been "repaired" by Toyota dealer because it failed the oil consumption test. The other one passed despite the existence of the problem. The one they repaired also required engine repairs due to this issue. They would not fix this damage and told me that they were only responsible to replace the rings. The car is still using too much oil and now also has this engine damage that they would not fix.The other car has the same issues.

I cannot afford to either fix these cars or replace them. It is not fair that Toyota sold these cars with this known engine part defect and then waited till it got pushed by the lawsuit that was filed to replace the defective parts and are not owning up to the subsequent damage caused to the engine itself due to low oil.

Please contact me to start another class action to force Toyota to make these repairs. Please send a way to contact you if interested. Thanks

I'm the third owner of this vehicle and went to the dealer to see if this issue is still covered by Toyota and they told me NO. They said they only covered vehicles under 10 years since the manufacturing year. When I asked how much it will cost to fix they said it is a 27hrs job and will cost $3,500 Canadian + taxes + some additional parts. I'm so pissed. I was hoping to drive this car more than 500,000 Km. I'm so disappointed. I was thinking to buy Toyota Sienna in the near future, but I don't think I will buy any Toyota products anymore.

My 2007 Camry has only 53K miles and is starting to use oil. It is near the 1 quart of oil for every 1K miles. I maintain my cars and have been happy with the many Toyota verticals I've owned in the past.

This is a big issue for me and I hope that Toyota takes ownership of the cheap parts they used on this model of camry.

I owned a 2000 V6 Camry till it had well over 250K miles and I never had it use a drop of oil.

Has anyone had a dealership replace their engine? My local dealership only tells me that I'm past my 5 year warranty.

My Car runs fine apart from this oil consumption issue. With almost 4.5 qts of motor oil it just goes 1000 miles and then it's time to refill the motor oil again. It's pain filling up the oil every 1000 miles and it's hitting my pocket every 1000 miles. My car currently has 155k miles on it but it runs smooth and I'm using the best oil i can afford which is Pennzoil platinum high mileage full synthetic oil. On an average i drive 1000 miles every 15 days.. so now you can see how bad the problem is and being a loyal customer to Toyota, the company don't even want to fix this problem.

Car has been burning oil, 1 quart in less than 1000 miles. I thought since I bought it used, somebody didn't take proper care. Once it plugged the catalytic converter, I started looking on line and found that there was major problems with the 2AZ-FE 4 cylinder motor. I contacted Gault Toyota and the service manager checked to see if it would be covered. Because I had more than 150,000 miles, Toyota would not do anything. This was the second Camry I have owned. My 2003 had 358,000 before is died. I was expecting to get the same on this Camry.

My mother purchased this car after my father died so she would have something reliable to drive. She had it serviced regularly. Last year she was incapable of driving anymore and sold the car to me, her son. After driving the car for a while the engine oil light came on and the oil would not register on the dip stick. I had to put 4 quarts in to fill it up. After checking the oil periodically I noted I had to add a quart of oil about every 1.2K miles. I found out this particular engine has an oil consumption issue. I contacted Toyota and they would not help me. They say the car is out of the extended warranty period since it has been 10 years since purchase. What is so upsetting is that the car has only 52K miles on it. What a piece of junk. I will never buy another Toyota again.
