Excessive Oil Consumption
2007 Toyota Camry (Page 1 of 15)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
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.

I bought my daughter what I believed to be a solid car for her 16th birthday. Car began making a knocking sound at 92k miles. (I purchased car at 82k miles, 10 months prior, oil changed twice and checked regularly.) I've come to find out it was victim to the apparently known excessive oil consumption problem that Toyota has known about and had done little about. I feel awful I did not research the year of this car as much as I should have. I saved for 4 years to purchase this car for her and she did not even have it for an entire year. I am now out thousands of dollars and she is out a car through no fault of her own as we followed manufacturer specifications. I wish the previous owner took it in and had it tested. Lesson learned I guess. Very painful and expensive lesson. Toyota really should have stood behind their product with this car knowing it was such an issue.
