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.
speedometer went down to zero, other gauges not working
No warning, Speedometer went to zero, RPM gauge all over the place, Emergency brake light on, ABS light on, car kept running/no engine noise, but obviously failure. Am concerned that the "Check Engine" light never came on, this is supposed to be a safety feature but w/my Toyota Camry, it does not light up to alert you. I maintain the car w/regular oil changes, other services, and had an Oil Consumption Engine Re-build last year w/Toyota at no charge to me. The Oil Consumption problems started about 75,000 miles. I would hesitate to buy another Toyota.
