Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2008 Toyota Camry - part 1

This car is burning oil.

Excessive oil consumption, leading to engine burning oil, resulting in reduced gas mileage and oil being used up very quickly.

This engine has been burning way too much oil and after looking at complaints online about the same problem I realized they were supposed to have sent out a letter years ago in 2016 I believe but I never received any type of notice about this so called extended warranty to where they were supposed to fix the defect pistons in the engine. So now they say it is past the time frame and miles to fix it at their cost. Now it is burning more oil and getting worse and Toyota will not fix their mistake. Bad buisness!.

Vehicle noted to burn a tremendous amount of oil driving less than 1,200 miles. Contacted Toyota who indicated they did do an extension to fix the issue but I was too late. I never received the notification to learn they had an old address for me. I am now having to drive the vehicle cannot afford a new one and having to put oil in every 7-10 days.

My Toyota Camry is using excessive amounts of engine oil. Beginning at about 90000 miles my 2008 Toyota Camry le equipped with the 2az four cylinder engine began to use oil. Subsequently, I took the vehicle to my local Toyota dealer and was told I was two months out of my ten year warranty and any repairs would be at my expense. Today, the vehicle has 117000 miles and is burning a quart of oil every 700 miles. This is clearly a manufacturing defect that Toyota should be responsible for correcting at their expense.

The oil consumption is way too high! many similar complaints have been documented on other online forum. I have to refill my oil every 2-3 days. I noticed this issue significantly when my car began driving wierd only 2 weeks after an oil change & when I went to my mechanic, he said there was no more oil in my car. My car could have stalled anywhere. The fact that this is a well known but ignored issue is absurd.

S10 appropriate handling - copy of letter addressed to Toyota motor sales USA president and chief of executive officer james lentz regarding concerns with his 2008 Camry. The consumer was not notified of the extended warranty for the engine oil consumption.

I purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry almost two years ago with 100,000 thousand miles. The car was running great until now, it has 120,000 miles now and is starting to burn a lot of oil between oil changes, it burns about one quart every 800 to 1000 miles.

My engine is burning oil at a fast rate. I have to add 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes in order to keep the correct oil level. It has just over 100,000 miles so it is out of the 60k mike powertrain warranty. This wasn't a problem for my car until around 90k miles. So it was already out of the warranty range when I discovered something was wrong. This is a faulty design by Toyota and the car should be recalled and fixed at no cost to the consumer. Their brand is built on reliability and that's what I thought I was getting when I purchased this car. I was deceived by Toyota.

The engine is burning oil. No leaks are detected but I have to add 1-2 quarts of oil around every 500 miles.

Hi, my vehicle is like crazy burning oil and it's onli 142 ,300 k miles I know that is a manufacturer problem which the rings and pistons I would like to have someone contacting me from the Toyota manufacturing I really appreciate thank you . Here is my imail andresilva1687@gmail. Com thank you so much . .

Took the car on a long trip across the country. Had an oil change just before the trip. As we were arriving home, we lost power going up hills. Pulled over and checked oil. It was low. . . Very low. No warning lights or check engine ever came on. Took it to the dealer. They said that it now needs new rings and that the cylinder's are scored. Repairs totaling over $10,000. Apparently there is a known defect with these cars that they burn oil. The low oil warning light didn't come on when I was 3 1/2 quarts low on oil. That is unacceptable! this car has been ruined due to this defect.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the oil and check engine warning indicators kept illuminating. The contact stated that there was a constant loss of engine oil, which sometimes occurred without a warning indicator flashing. There was no presence of an oil leak. Autonation Toyota mall of georgia (3505 buford dr, buford, GA 30519, (770) 674-6083) stated that there was an excessive oil consumption failure. The oil consumption test was performed twice, but it did not provide a permanent remedy. The dealer was asked several times to provide further diagnostic testing. After adding oil to the vehicle, the dealer recommended that the engine be rebuilt. The engine head was sent for testing and checked for a valve stem seal that may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.

Excessive oil consumption, oil light never turns on even thought there is no oil in resivior, brought to attention or spot city Toyota dealership dallas and was never resolved prior to damage of engine.

This is in regards to the class action lawsuit filed against Toyota for the oil consumption for 2006-2011 vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine. I purchased my 2008 Toyota Camry se in February of 2008. In March of this year as I was driving the oil light kept going on and I had just had an oil change not long before this happened. I stopped to have my oil checked and found out that I had almost no oil in my engine. Put the oil in and it happened again. I began to research and found that Toyota knowingly sold the vehicles with the piston defect. I called Toyota and they told me they would not honor the repair due to the fact that it was over the 10 year anniversary date. The mileage was under 150,000 (112,000) and I was 2 months past the date and they will not honor the repairs to my vehicle. I have attached the oil consumption test invoice done by a Toyota dealer and the letter sent to Toyota. I can not afford to spend $3000 to $5000 to fix this problem. The car has also lost value and I could find myself in a dangerous situation if the engine fails. I need to know my options. Toyota should fix my car at no charge to me.

Excessive oil consumption; ongoing issue.

Engine oil warning light came on and almost stalled engine on highway after breaking hard. Heard later on about the excessive oil consumption problem because of poor rings. This can be dangerous.

Excessive consumption of motor oil. I have taken it to the dealer twice. They have sealed the oil gauge and when I return they have told me that consumption is normal; it is not. Every month I have to put a quart & a third to keep the vehicle at the mid-mark of the oil dip stick.

Excessive oil consumption. This is actually my father's car. His name is philip e. Myhre and he has asked me brian s. Myhre to act on his behalf. Philip is 91 years old and does not use computers. I talked to a Toyota customer service representative about their "warranty enhancement notification" letter # ze7and was told that my fathers car does not apply because Toyota put a cut-off at 150,000 miles or 10 years from first date of issue. My father is the second owner of this car and he has owned it for about 2. 5 - 3 years. When he purchased it, it had about 130,000 miles on it, it now has 158,3000 miles. He has never received a notice or letter from Toyota notifying him of oil consumption issues. I was driving with him in late January of 2018 when the oil warning light lit up on the dash, I immediately pulled over as I knew he had just had the oil & filter changed at the local jiffy lube about 1500 miles prior to what the mileage read. I was very angry when I saw it didn't register on the dipstick and I had to add about 1 1/4 quarts of oil. I thought jiffy lube shorted him on oil and I then started changing it myself. I keep a close watch on the oil consumption and have found that I need to add about one quart every 1200 miles. The engine is the 2az-fe, 2. 4l and is involved with the oil consumption problem that Toyota has acknowledged, but will not seem to help since the car has over 150,000 miles on it. As a consumer I think this is wrong on Toyota's part and that they should stand behind their product when it is their fault for knowingly using faulty parts/ material, then leaving the consumer to absorb the cost.

2008 Toyota Camry. Consumer writes in regards to problem with oil consumption. The consumer stated the manufacturer refused to repair the vehicle under warranty due to it being expired. The consumer does not agree with the decision.

I had received the extended warranty coverage letter for the excessive oil consumption more than a year ago. No issues until possibly October 2017 when oil maintenance light kept coming on event after oil change after just 1000 miles (usually every 5000 miles before). Then got car checked out and mechanic found almost no oil in car. Car was driving poorly with sometimes stalling. I got an oil change and car worked fine for 2 weeks and had same problem. Again, by this time, I remembered the warranty and went to Toyota dealership where the told me the warranty was not valid due to car being over 10 years old. Anyway they filled car with oil and told me to return in 1100-1300 miles for the results of the test which I will later know. I don't have much hope of getting this fixed under warranty.

Excessive oil consumption, lost all my oil within oil changes,.

Sticky dashboard causing serious light reflection when driving and engine burning lots of oil. Have to keep up with topping engine oil often even though oil change not due.

My vehicle has a oil consumption issue. I know there was recently a recall on this issue however I took the vehicle to Toyota and they stated I needed to get the oil changed then drive 1000 miles. I did as they said and took it back just for them to tell me that the recall expired!!!! I never recieved any notices via mail or email. I feel as though they need to do something about this oil consumption.

I received a recall notice for oil consumption I believe in the summer of 2015. I didn't have any issues with oil consumption at the time. However around October 2015, I began to notice the car was burning through oil, I requested a oil consumption test---but it came back that there was no issue. At the time of the oil consumption test my car was at 190,000 miles. Now, the car is starting to burn more oil even after regular oil changes from moss bros Toyota in moreno valley. I just got my oil changed on August 4th 2017. Well two weeks (8/18/2017) after my change I noticed the oil sensor would flash every time I came to a stop. I check the oil in my car and there was barely any on the dipstick. As a result, I added more oil myself to avoid burning up the engine. I called the service advisor at moss bros who helped me two weeks prior. I explained the situation and told him I had an oil consumption test 2 years ago and was advised everything was normal. Unfortunately, he said there was nothing Toyota could do to help because of the high mileage on my Camry. He said it would cost $5,000 to replace the piston rings or $4000 to replace the engine. As a result, I filed a claim with Toyota consumer affairs (case#1708181590)--the girl melissa on the phone didn't want to help and told me Toyota wouldn't be able to pay for the warranty work because of high miles. Toyota knew the piston rings were faulty from the beginning. They didn't want to spend the money or hours/years trying to repair/replace engines in these cars. So they make the consumer do this stupid worthless consumption test to avoid recall repairs. They are obviously trying to avoid taking care of a problem that many of us are facing. I purchased this vehicle in October of 2007, brand new off the lot. Took it in for all of the regular maintenance appointments and know that I did everything right.

Excessive oil consumption, burns more then a quarter after 1000 miles.

I purchased the car in spring of 2015 and after about a year of having the car when I would bring in the car for oil changes the oil level was low and about a year ago the oil wasn't even registering on the oil stick and it has been burning oil at about 2 quarts every 1000 to 1500 miles. I took it to a mechanic today who checked out to make sure there was no oil leaks and he did not see any signs of oil outside the engine and only suggestion was to put new motor in or tear the current motor apart and replace anything worn which still may not solve the problem. So for now I'm going to get oil topped off every 1000 miles which is a major pain having to watch and remember when the last time I was in for a top off so I don't run my engine dry.

We were in the middle of an oil consumption test and there is now a hole in the side of the motor and Toyota told us that it isn't covered and it's not their fault but they will put in a used one for about $3000. How is it my fault when they seal everything up so that I can not check the oil levels?.

My Toyota Camry has an oil consumption issue, between oil changes I am having to find someone to check and add in what oil the car needs. I am 1 70 year old single woman and need a vehicle that is reliable and this vehicle is not safe nor reliable with the oil consumption problem that has been out in the public eyes for over 10 years and Toyota doesn't want to help fix it they want me to purchase another car which at my age I cant do so.

Engine is burning oil excessively.

My car engine is burning is burning oil more than usual it burns about 3,75 quarts of oil every 5000 miles I went to ourisman Toyota dealer in fairfax, va and they refuse to fix it . This is a fraud because in Toyota manual it says that the car takes 4,5 quarts only but now because my engine is burning oil I have to buy more oil (3,75 quarts per 5000 miles in addition to the original amount)and add it to my engine in order to avoid blowing up my engine.

Toyota dealer has conducted 3 separate excessive oil consumption tests on my car. Each time I was told my car "passed" and did not meet their requirements for excess oil consumption. I can only go 1200-1800 miles before I am warned that my oil is low. We recently discovered that at approximately 1200 miles after my last oil change, my car was registering "0" oil. Toyota, while knowing they have a problem, are not helping me as a Toyota owner. I am warned of low oil when I brake or turn. In a separate incidence, I recently spent over $2500 on the brake actuator and was told that even though I read about Camrys having this problem, it did not involve the non-hybrid Camry. I was driving the car when I was warned by the car of the problem.

My car is consuming lot of oil, for every 5000 miles oil change I noticed that there is not a single drop of oil left in the engine, I had a oil consumption test at longo Toyota dealer in January, they asked me to come when the I drove the miles between 1100-1300, I took my car at 1128 miles and after the test they said everything is normal and no further test is needed, I said what are you saying I see not a single drop of oil left in the engine, they are saying in order to fail the test 1 qt of oil should be consumed for every 1200 miles but my car consume 3/4 qt of oil hence test is passed. . . . What the heck is going on why is it normal to consume 3/4 qt of oil, they failed to realize that there is no oil when oil change is occurred, and now the other problem is I can retake the test only after 6 months or 5k miles on the vehicle but my 10 year warranty is expiring in sept, not sure why Toyota put the 10 year warranty they should cover the warranty atleast 15 years. . . I am sick of Toyota never going to purchase any Toyota vehicles, they dont stand behind their vehicles . . .

Burning 1 qt of oil every 600 miles. Toyota acknowledges there is a design defect but won't fix since it is past the warranty extension. How am I supposed to know there was a warranty extension? they said the dealer would tell me when I go into service. But, I say that I don't go to my dealer for service. They say that is why I should go to a dealer for service. Really shady way to say you have provided a warranty extension for a known design defect but then do not provide adequate notification to the consumer. I have had the oil light go on well before the next oil change. This defect causes the engine to burn up to 4 to 5 quarts of oil between oil changes so can easily lead to an engine failure. This oil consumption defect can cause engine failure in a moving vehicle so it is a potential safety issue. If engine failure happens then it will cause an accident.

Engine burns a quart of oil every 400-500 miles.
