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.
my 2007 camry downshifted hard going 27 mph. the water pump also went out @13000 miles and the car pulls hard to the left when it's very cold out.Also has lot's of road noise! still don't like how the tranny works.
oh yeah dealer say's it's normal for car to pull when it's that cold ,it does get better after it drives down the road for a while.Dealer also said it's normal for this exact make's water pump to fail, apparent defect I'm glad we we'nt on a trip and ran out of coolant!
