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.

Toyota Camry 2009 - while driving on the highway the car suddenly accelerated from 65mph to 90mph without even touching the gas peddle. It was full throttle. When trying to stop it became very difficult for the brakes to depress. Had to push down on brakes very hard to get it to slow down. The next day driving on a local street I pulled out of my street and started to accelerate and the it just accelerated out of control, going from 30mph to 50mph. Tried the brakes and they felt like they weren't working until you had to step on them all the way. That was two days in a row that this happen. Took into the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with the car or duplicate the problem. I have researched this issue and have found that there is a lot of complaints of this very same problem. Something needs to get done or there will be a lot of accidents.
