44 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2017

Dear sir/ madam, I have had my car Toyota Camry since 2009(it is a 2007 model). In the July of 2017 my car started using more oil than usual with frequent top -offs. I had the car checked at Toyota dealership (dublin Toyota in dublin, California in July 2017) and they informed me that my car 's engine could be defective since a Toyota bulletin for defective engine repair had been released for that model. I had taken my car to Toyota dealerships (gladstone Toyota in portland, oregon) several times before that for other recall notices such as the accelerator getting stuck etc. But no one had informed me of this bulletin or defect. I've also received recall notices from Toyota for other repairs for which I promptly took my car to their dealerships. But I have not received the extended warranty policy bulletin for this problem via mail or email to this date. Dublin Toyota employees suggested I call the company to resolve this problem otherwise I would have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket if I chose to get it repaired. I called Toyota and spoke to a manager but they refused to help or repair the engine stating that my car was a few hundred miles out of warranty per the technical service bulletin. Now, my car consumes oil very quickly and I must and have to top it off every 12-15 days. It has a mileage of around 164000 at present. Regardless, my point 1) I was never informed of this defect by the company(Toyota) 2) this is a manufacturing defect and this should not have a mileage limit on it. I need this car for commuting to work and I have already been affected by the wildfires in santa rosa, California. I would appreciate your attention to this matter or can you connect me to the right organization /agency/ person who could help me with this issue?.

58 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2016

The abs and brake lights of my Toyota 2007 Camry come on and off intermittently. When the lights are on, the whole dashboard readers; the speedometer, rpm, engine temperature and other gauges jump and flicker, the light markers for transmission gear and parking go off. The ac unit also did not work. I went to dealer to get it checked out but there were no codes to diagnose the issue. I was told to come back again when it happens for longer than a day. It keeps happening at various times of the day (morning and evening), when the car is stopped or moving, and on all types of roads and driving conditions (city streets, highway, at a stop light, at a stop sign, when I am turning). I have noticed that Toyota has already issued a recall for the same issue for the 2007 Camry hybrid. Given the sheer number of complaints I have read about this issue for the regular Camry 2007, it seems ridiculous that Toyota has not issued a recall for this for the 2007 Camry.

- 2007 Camry has been consuming unreal amount of engine oil. - I took it to the delearship; and they mentioned replacement of pistons will be covered under factory warranty but if the engine is damaged they will not cover it. At this point, I am not even sure the piston is not working as it was supposed to. - the car was bought brand new and the defect on engine was brought to our attention only a month ago in 2015.
