Crankcase (pcv) problems of the 2007 Toyota Camry

Excessive oil consumption - not safe my family is extremely loyal to the Toyota brand and we have never had any major issues with an of our vehicles in the past. I noticed that my 2007 Camry se 2. 4l v4 had been burning oil extremely fast a little over a year ago. At first, a mechanic told me that I needed to change my valve cover gasket as that was what he presumed to be the root cause of the issue. After I paid to get that replaced I noticed that my engine was still burning oil at an extremely fast rate. I proceeded to change my pcv valve and switch to a synthetic-blend. Nothing at all has helped with the oil consumption. It is draining my pockets and time. Multiple mechanics have confirmed that there are no oil leaks. I am so disappointed because this issue is extremely draining and unsafe. My car burns over 1 quart every thousand miles. I believe there is an issue with my engine, I've read similar complaints about this and need to get this fixed. I hope that Toyota can help me with this issue.

For the past 8 months, I have been checking the engine oil level to find out that at around 1200 miles the car is burning oil, 1/2 quart to be exact. I think it is extremely unusual for a car with such low miles to burn that much oil. So far I replaced the pcv valve, thinking that will fix the problem but it did not work. I see no evidence of any leaks from oil pan or head gasket or oil cap. Today I had the dealer replace my water pump due to antifreeze leaking from it. I will have the dealer look into this but I feel I will get the same response that the others 07 Camry owners are getting. At this moment I feel there is an enginee problem. I will do my part to rectify the problem but warranty is getting close to expire. Just like the other people here. I think Toyota is running around the problem.

Excessive oil consumption. Took vehicle into dealer with complaint of engine valve noise. Dealer said no way valve problems with their cars at that mileage. Left with $1800 in non-associated repairs. Noticed accelerating consumption of oil. Tried again to get a fix with pcv valve and all filters replaced. Constantly topping off with oil between regular oil changes. Wouldn't accept the fact that engine valve seals were defective. Not on a Toyota with less than 90,000 miles. Finally did a monitoring test a month ago and realized my car had consumed 4 quarts of oil in about 1600 miles. The fix cost me about $2000. Then I check this website only to find about 100 similar complaints on 2007 Toyota Camry's. Totally unacceptable and Toyota's claim in my owner's manual that 1. 1 qts per 600 miles is acceptable is ridiculous. I'm checking for participation in a class-action suit. They need to "fess up" to their design or manufacturing flaw if they ever want me back as a new-car customer again. Engines unexpectantly seizing up at interstate highway speeds can kill!.

On or about September, 2011, and within warranty, my oil light came on. I immediately went to ira Toyota. I had two quarts of oil remaining in crankcase. They conducted an oil consumption test, one of three, and told me that the loss of one half quart per 1,000 miles was within specs. Rubbish. I then complained to Toyota motor sales, USA, inc. They sent me their engineer who stated that Toyota would fix the problem. They performed another oil consumption test, of course. Never saw engineer again. Before engineer, ira Toyota offered to fix it. They claimed it was a $1,500 job and if I gave them $150. 00, they would fix it. They "repaired auto" but it remained the same. And they kept the $150. They kept lying to me for a year. Then, they told me that they would not honor my complaint. Now, my auto uses one quart of oil per 600 miles. Toyota is a fraud. They have so many complaints that they cannot financially take care of all of them. Their vehicles are lemons and their warranties are worthless. (short version).

Car had a burning oil smell that grew stronger during one day. Finally heard a small ticking noise as I came close to home, smell was worse and I connected the two. . . Hurried home 5 blocks away. Oil trail behind my car to the home. Checked oil, required 4. 5 quarts of oil to bring it back to level. Researched on line Toyota owners forum, mention of oil pipe from crankcase to upper head area leaking. A rubber hose that connected two metal hoses failed on other Toyotas, ravs and something else. Called Toyota regarding oil leaks. . Gave them my VIN # and was informed that my car didn't fall into a service bulletin about the problem, and mileage was over 60k. . . Even though it was exactly like the other cars that are covered. Called the local dealer, brought the car in, related to the service writer my experience as a service writer and mechanic, asked if he could make exception or check with area rep. He did, repair as were covered for me, but only because I knew what I was talking about and a good service writer. Concerned that many others that don't have mechanical experience or good ears won't catch this, engine damage will result if not caught in time and Toyota has not issued a recall for a wider range of cars that have the same issue. They replaced the rubber hose in between the two lines, apparently there is a better fix, a completely metal oil line that prevents oil breaking down the rubber hose.
