1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 04/19/2017

I brought my car in 2015 and when I told the person at mechanicsville Toyota that my brakes were making a noise they informed me to bring to the shop. When I did the mechanic's stated that there was nothing wrong with it. And for the past two years they have told me nothing wrong and now everything associated with that is wrong. All of a sudden when I spoke to am anger the same thins I stated was wrong with it is now what is wrong with it. The abs acuator. . .

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Known issue of excessive oil consumption where the oil change light comes on just into 1,000 miles after changing oil. The local dealer at ira Toyota of tewksbury, MA. 01876 - tried to fix the problem the first time but the problem came back or was still there. I have since complained to Toyota us at 1-800-331-4331 they opened a case#1701232302 for my issue but now say that the local Toyota and even regional stores cannot take my car back to fix it again the local store says that I am out of warranty because I came back after 14,379 miles I am now stuck with a car that has already stopped on me right in the middle of the street - with the steering wheeling blocking suddenly and for me having to veer quickly on the curb while the steering wheel is hard to control. I can hear a squeeling noise when I change gears ( manual car) and when I put the foot on the clutch. The car shakes a lot when I change gears and I am about to stop. I am afraid for my safety and of course lots of inconveniences because I cannot use this car for many activities involving my family or just anywhere past 10 miles of my house. I am hoping that I can get help with this issue which is a known issue by Toyota, an issue that they did not fix properly in the first place and now they are just hoping that I can go away by denying me my rights to proper service. I told Toyota us that it does not make sense how a known issue can be fixed and just within 1 year it comes back.

4 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2014

I purchased my 2007 Toyota Camry in July 2006, new. At approximately 50k miles, when turning corners my engine sounded like it was stalling, the accelerator did not work, and a "low engine fuel" warning came on. I took my car into the dealership and was assured by the dealership that there was nothing wrong with my car. This same incident occurred at least 7 times since and each time I was assured by the dealership that there was nothing wrong with my car. My car was still under factory warranty, and then my extended warranty when these incidents first occurred. I'm now at 108k miles. For the past two weeks while driving and durning corners, the "low engine fuel" warning displayed briefly. Since the dealership previously assured me that nothing was wrong with my car, and my car had 2k more miles before my next oil change, I continued to drive my car. Then on Sunday, June 25th I decided to have auto zone take a look at my car. To my utter surprise, there was absolutely no oil on the stick when the auto zone guy checked my oil levels. I purchased two quarts of oil and the auto zone guy put the oil in my car. The following Saturday I took my car to my usual Toyota dealership and explained my experience. The service advisor informed me that my piston is probably worn out and oil is probably leaking into my engine, which would be a $4k repair cost. As I stated to the service advisor, at any moment my car can conk out while driving, because oil is leaking into my engine and the only time a warning appears is when I turn corners. If I'm driving on a highway where speeds are in excess of 80 mph, and my car conks out because oil is leaking into my engine, that is a huge safety concern. A service technician who overheard our conversation stated, "yeah, the engines on those cars are a piece of junk. " Toyota refuses financial responsibility.

5 Engine Noise problem

Uses excessive oil - oil is low before it is time for scheduled oil change. When motor is put in reverse, the motor vibrates ( even the front seats). It vibrates and makes noises when driving or just idle.

6 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2009

First I heard a squealing noise, then my ac light started blinking and blowing hot air. I got home 5 miles later and turned the car off. Within 2 minutes a huge puddle of oil collected on the driveway under the passenger side of the engine.

7 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2006

We bought this brand new 2007 Camry from dealer back in 2006. It has been maintained through Toyota dealers (longo Toyota most of time) since then. In Jan 2012, the engine sounded abnormal. We took it to the dealer and was told that there was oil "leaking" and the car was out of warranty. We paid out of own pocket to fix the "oil leaking" as suggested by the dealer, but the oil still keeps disappearing after around 2000 miles' driving. Now it is getting worse and worse, I have to check oil level and add 1 quart every 500 miles!.

8 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2006

My car has been burning up oil since I have purchased it in 2006. I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and have been recently researching this excessive oil problem. I have had no letter from Toyota about it, but I see that the Toyota dealers have gotten a bulletin about this. When I actually noticed the problem it was because my car was making strange noises and I decided to check my fluid levels. My oil light never comes on to make me aware that my car is low on oil. Then I check the dipstick to see that it is dry!!! my car now has 154,000 miles on it and the problem is getting even worse. I have had to add a quart of oil ever 400 miles. This is not new to me since I buy oil constantly and check my dipstick every other day. I just recently called a Toyota dealer to get my car in for an oil consumption test and they told me that I need a copy of all my receipts from every oil change? I don't understand the reasoning behind that. Also I have made different dealers aware of my problem and I have even sent an email to the Toyota corp. Now that there is a solution to the problem you have to be in the warranty period?!? I have had to also replace my cat and 4 months later my engine light comes on and it is reading the same cat code when I had it checked. I am wondering if the excessive oil burning is actually clogging my cats.
