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.

He then forced the vehicle into neutral and the vehicle began to coast until finally coming to a stop. The dealer was contacted and they advised him not to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact had not yet heard from Toyota, to date. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 26,000.
