I adhered to the recall ze7 oil consumption test notice issued by Toyota. Over the next 6months water/coolant was leaking into my engine through what I learned could have been a faulty engine head gasket. My 2007 Camry had never run hot before Toyota took my engine apart and put it back together. They do not want to admit their error. The oil dip stick showed signs of water oil mixture. Later it was like milk. This is when the engine stopped on me in rush hour traffic from over heating. I have been working with the dealer and Toyota headquarters since April 2016 to resolved this. Got the run around. Some technician was scheduled to review this in April and may 2016 but has not. What should I do?.
This car was purchased used from a private party in August 2011. I did an oil change soon after, on 8/21 with mileage at 57,336. On 11/3 my wife reported the oil light coming on when braking. I checked the oil level, and there was just a tiny bit on the tip of the dipstick. It took 3 full quarts to bring it back up to full on the dipstick. Mileage was 59,820 so that means that in 2,484 miles, the engine consumed 3 quarts of oil. On 12/18 my wife again reported the oil light coming on when braking. I checked the oil and the dipstick was completely dry. Again, 3 full quarts to bring it up to the full mark. Mileage was 61,397 so this time 3 quarts were consumed in 1577 miles. All of this in completely normal driving. There is no oil leaking under the car and there is no smoke coming out of the tailpipe, nor is there any oil mixed in with the coolant, so I don't know where it is going. This is ridiculous. I will be contacting Toyota about this tomorrow. The manual states that it is normal to consume a quart every 600 miles. This is also ridiculous. Toyota knows there is a problem, there are many complaints about this. Toyota has since redesigned their engine because if this. Toyota needs to give people with affected vehicles replacement engines to rectify this. Please investigate and hold Toyota accountable.
