6 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

In 2015 I noticed I was burning through oil too fast, so I took my 2007 Toyota Camry to the Toyota dealership. They said it could be the piston rings (a known problem, but not covered), and they couldn't do anything about it. Fast forward to January 2020, and I'm burning through 2. 5 quarts every fill-up. The check engine light came on and 'cylinder 3 misfire' was detected along with a bad spark plug. I had to spend around $400 to fix a coil and spark plug because the 3rd cylinder had expanded and was spilling over. 3 weeks later, the same thing happened with me adding 1 quart of oil every 1/2 tank. I was told this would cost upwards of $2,000-$3,000 to fix. I've seen this is a known problem, especially with the 2007 Toyota Camry, and this might be due to bad piston rings. I was forced to get a new car this weekend because of this.

There is an oil consumption issue and Toyota is saying it is an extended warranty issue, that has expired and that I am going to have to fix it and pay for it all out of pocket. This should be a recall not a waranty issue. It's not fair or right and they should stand behind their production issues that are flawed.

19 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2018

I purchased a Camry from bob howard in 2007. The car started consuming an excessive amount of oil not long after the Toyota enhancement program launched in 2014. I did not get a notice from Toyota. Bob howard informed me of the need to run the oil consumption test in July 2015; which we did. I was told the test "passed" even though it was obvious that the car was burning a lot of oil. The oil pressure light kept coming on over & over again. I requested a 2nd test in Dec 2015 and I was told again that the car "passed" the oil consumption test. For 3 years I complained to bob howard about the situation, including the car choking when I try to accelerate or brake; oil pressure light; engine light; having to add oil to my car upon driving it for about 1000 miles or so, etc. . This all happened from 2015-2018. In 2018, bob howard tried to tell me that my car is leaking oil instead of burning oil. This wasn't an accurate statement. So, I went to a trusted independent mechanic who took a detail look at my car and confirmed that my car is not leaking oil at all. I went back to bob howard & demanded a 3rd oil consumption test. After much arguing they agreed to it. We did the test and it failed in Dec 2018. This confirmed what I knew all along. Yet they refused to fix the problem to the point where the service manager wayne simon refused to take my calls. They tell me the warranty has expired, which is very fitting for them &Toyota. I called Toyota inc. Who also refused to do anything because the warranty expired in 2016. My car is barely at 105,000 miles which is below the Toyota extended warranty limit of 150,000 miles or 10 yrs. The fact that I have complained about the issue while it was under warranty & was mislead the whole time did not count for anything. Obviously, this oil consumption issue poses a serious threat to the engine & to car owners. Repairs are a must.
