CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Camry used to be adorned with our “Seal of Pretty Good” but that was before an alarming number of complaints started rolling in for excessive oil consumption.

Owners are being caught off-guard with how quickly their cars are running out of oil. No leaks, no spills, just 1 quart of vanishing oil in as little as 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains this is “normal” for the 2AZ-FE engine, even though they issued a TSB for the problem in August of 2011.

problem #2

Mar 012021

Camry LE 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 250,000 miles

So I’ve read other peoples problems and I finally figure it out! Speedometer bouncing or not working, temp gauge and RPMs doing the same? AC turning off and on randomly. It’s the ABS module. I attached a YouTube video I found on everything. Hope this helps :)

problem #1

Sep 112018

Camry SE 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 230,000 miles

Just driving on the freeway looked down at the dash-and ABS BRAKE light both on and speedometer at zero at 65mph. Car running fine but tach jumping around. What rush seeing that. All of a sudden, everything is back to normal. OK I thought. 10 more miles down the road it happens again! No change in RPM(don't tell the TACH-it was still jumping). Drove home like that, car running smooth. Looked for loose connections, found none. Started car back up after about 1/2 hour-no lights on and speedometer working fine. Maybe learn more tomorrow. Got curious tonight and went on line. Found out I'm not alone with this problem. How many of us does it take before they make a recall??
