CarComplaints.com Notes: Owners are reporting that their engines are running out of oil awfully quick. As in, 1 quart every 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains that’s with the “normal” operating range of the 2AZ-FE while owners maintain that’s complete BS.

The issue may be the result of defective piston rings.

I bought this Camry 08 last year at 43000 miles on it, when I drive it on the freeway or city road, the front end was bounce exessively and not really stable. After I do the inspection and check the strut, the front right strut need replacement (it's bouncing a lot when I push it down and release). My complaint is why it fail for only 45000 miles". is this suppose to be a recall for replacement". because it involve safety driving. And I read, there 30 complaints already about this suspension.

Front (left) driver side spring is broken near the upper sup.. seems like it broke more because of corrosion than fatigue.

The right front spring failed. It snapped close to one end, leaving a jagged point. My mechanic said that this could be disastrous if this jagged point came in contact with the tire, especially at highway speed. I contacted Toyota customer service and was told that since the car was out of warranty, they would not help me with any repair. A failure to a part such as this is either a defect, or a gross engineering error.

Turn corner and hear a big "clunk" and later find a piece fall off my vehicle - stop and find out that it is part of the coil spring. I bring the broken off part into local Toyota dealer and the "service specialist" at the corwin Toyota dealer said - "let me guess, Camry..." I asked why she said Camry- she told me that they only have had issues with Camry coil springs and no other vehicles have had this issue. I asked if there was any warranty or recall on the item and she said "no". my car has only 77,000 miles on it and this is one thing that should not be breaking on a newer car. I would understand it if I were driving through fields / crap roads but I am not. The fact that the lady at the Toyota dealer said that Camry vehicles are the only vehicles that they experience this issues with is also a "red flag" to me! is it another thing that Toyota is aware of (this dealership is aware by the sounds of it) and is ignoring the problem or is it an issue that has yet to be brought up to corporate mechanics/safety specialists...

A noise is coming from the sunroof that sounds like metal against metal when backing out of the drive way or going around a corner or over a bump. I have owned 3 Toyota and I have never been so frustrated as I am with owning this Toyota 2008 Camry. From the beginning the car has had problems with the brakes that cause the steering wheel to shake, the sunvisors falling, the rear wheel bearing to be replaced and now the sunroof. I'm taking time to write this because I want owners of Toyota to be aware of how poorly Toyota is handling these problem. Toyota has stalled taking action so that when the warranty runs out than is the owners responsibility to pay for the repair. Shame on Toyota. Instead of spending so much time in learning how to avoid doing the right thing they should concentrate on doing the responsible thing. Toyota you lost a loyal customer. Sincerely

I took my 2008 Toyota Camry to wal-mart just to have tire rotated, on 7-2-2013 I was told the tires on the rear were really bad rounded off with bumps on tires, I was told that the rear suspension was bad, and that had caused the belts to brake inside my tires. I had taken my car to scott Toyota in jasper al 1 year before this and had it alignment. I still have my paperwork. I have notice something wrong with the way it handled for a long time. Also the sunroof has leaked like a waterfall ever since I bought it. But Toyota says it's not there problem. It has cost me 4 knew tires and now a full alignment and a rear suspension to be done at a Toyota place. I just hope this car does not cause me to have a accident from the messed up suspension !

Front bumper is too low to road, which causes bumper cover to come into contact with parking space tire stops, which then pops bumper cover loose from holding clips, which causes bumper cover to flap, drag, or come off when going down road. This has happened twice within 8 months.
