Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2008 Toyota Camry - part 2

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the pistons were burning oil and the vehicle could not retain oil. The dealer was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 149,000.

I have had my Toyota Camry since 2012 however when I called in to make a complaint about the excessive oil consumption, I was told I was not even registered with Toyota. I find that disturbing because I have received notices in the past. I did not receive any notices about the oil consumption test. I even have notices from Toyota to prove that I have received notices in the past. When I called in jackie the specialist said I was not in the system and had to be registered. Now I'm stuck with this problem, and feel that this so unfair.

The car has a very quick oil consumption. Oil has to be either added or changed before the mileage has been reached. The car has been driving sluggage and has begin to be accompanied by shaking. This is not specific to any place nor time as it does it at any point and time when the oil has reduced. I have contacted Toyota multi times however the last attempt was the only one where my complaint was taken seriously. My information was taken and I was also told that I was not in the system and the information listed was under the name c hughes which was corrected to my info at that time which was one week and two days from today. I truly think it is unfair to me that I was not notified about this and when I called was told nothing could be done.

We are very faithful about getting out car's oil changed regularly. Good thing! when we received a warranty enhancement notification that our car was covered for excessive engine oil consumption, we started watching our oil consumption closely. We were definitely going through a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. We took the car in to a local dealership for the oil consumption test in March 2016 and were told our car didn't consume enough oil to qualify for the repair. We kept an eye on the oil consumption and took it back for another test in October 2016--convinced it would qualify. The dealership claimed that the car again did not qualify. We were frustrated but had little recourse on 10/24/16 with the warranty expiring on 10/31/16. Our car is now going through a quart of oil every 400-500 miles. No kidding. We reset the trip odometer each time we add oil and are faithful about checking it once it gets in that 400-500 mile range. At our mechanic's suggestion (he only works on Toyota's but isn't at a dealership), we called Toyota headquarters earlier this year. (our mechanic has his own reasons for not being impressed with the dealership we had taken our car to for the oil consumption testing. ) my husband was put on hold for over an hour and then was disconnected. We haven't tried phoning Toyota again. We have been faithful Toyota fans and owners for decades but, as a result of Toyota's poor handling of this problem, we will likely not buy another Toyota. Is this a safety concern? absolutely! it's also an business ethics concern. Will our oil consumption continue to increase as rapidly as it has in these last 7-8 months. I hope not. We're already adding a quart of oil nearly every week. Unconscionable!.

When I took my 2008 Camry in to the dealer for an oil change they found no oil in the car. They said I needed to take an "oil consumption test". They did something to my car and I drove for another 2000 miles and brought it back in. I was told it had failed the oil consumption test and that I would be put on a waiting list for repair which is covered by an extended warranty from Toyota. I was told the wait could be as long as six months and that in the meantime if my car runs out of oil and anything happens to the engine, the warranty would be void. My car might have oil in the morning and the be completely out of oil by the afternoon. I feel I should be given a loan car to drive while I am waiting for these repairs. I contacted Toyota directly in California and they would not approve this request. The parts needed for the repair are having to be manufactured and this takes months. My dealer told me there are people waiting since last year for repairs. I'm just asking for a car to drive while I wait so that I don't have to drive mine and risk voiding the warranty.

Engine burning excessive oil. Three quarts every 2000 miles.

I have owned my Camry for several years, and I bought it from the original owner (family), who purchased it new off the lot in 2009. Since 2010 the car has started to burn more and more oil. In late 2015-2016 (after the oil consumption recall was closed) my catalytic converter failed due to the oil consumption. During the recall, I had it checked by a dealership who said that it passed. At that time I was adding at least a quart every 1000 miles. They told me that was normal. Currently I run through all of the oil, mid way through the oil change period. I'm burning through roughly 4 quarts of oil every 1500 miles. It cost me over $1000 to get the catalytic converter replaced, and at this current rate I'm going to need to get the second one replaced soon. I love my car and this is the only problem I've had with it. But the rate of oil burning is excessive and needs to be fixed.

Toyota excessive engine oil consumption. Toyota issued a warranty enhancement notification on their Camry's - ze7 for "excessive engine oil consumption". My car was tested and failed the test in January 2016. Toyota has not repaired the vehicle and I am unable to get an appointment. Each time I call the dealership, they say Toyota does not have enough parts and there is a backlog of thousands of vehicles waiting to be repaired. Again today when I called, I was told they are just now repairing vehicles that failed the test back in March of 2015, failed the test 15 months ago, and that my vehicle will not be repaired for at least another year!! horrible customer service. If Toyota can prepare parts for new Camry sales, they should be able to prepare parts to repair vehicles they already sold. I have reported this problem to the local oxmoore Toyota dealership as well as Toyota consumer affairs. Many families are going through this same issue. Toyota needs to make this a higher priority and stop stringing families (customers) along. As consumers, what can we do?.

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine had no oil. The technician diagnosed that the vehicle had experienced excessive oil consumption and confirmed the vehicle lost a quart of oil every 1,000 miles however a remedy had not been determined. The vehicle had oil added to the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The car made a ¿ding¿ sound when the breaks were applied while it was being driven. Upon checking, I noticed that the engine oil was extremely low - the dip stick showed no oil on it. I was alarmed and immediately added 3 quarts of oil - for oil to show up on the dip stick. At first, I figured that, maybe at the previous oil change, sufficient oil was not added. Soon thereafter, I got an oil change. About 3 months later I began to hear the ¿ding¿ sound again. I checked the oil and found that it was low and again it did not even register on the dip stick. I added 3 quarts of oil and proceeded to get an oil change; this time with tansky Toyota dealership. Three months later, the problem recurred. This time I was concerned and checked all the mail I had received from Toyota and noticed a warranty enhancement letter that stated - 2008 Camry¿s had an ¿oil consumption problem¿. I immediately went to tansky Toyota dealership and reported the problem and they began an ¿oil consumption test¿. After the test, they told me that there was no problem and that it was a normal occurrence. Clearly, I was not convinced with the report and challenged the adviser. He remained adamant that there was no problem and that the test result was normal; he told me to check and add oil as needed regularly. I contacted the general manager of tansky. She had the service manager, call back a week later. He never acknowledged that the car had an ¿oil consumption problem¿; rather that this is a normal occurrence and advised that the oil be replenished on a regular basis. I responded that, this was something that I have never experienced on my other Toyota cars; but my words fell on deaf ears. I am concerned that this issue will damage the engine; in addition the problem is a safety issue, should the oil be depleted while on long distance trips.

Purchased a used 2008 Camry on 7/15/15. The car was serviced for the oil change right before I got it and I still had over 900 miles left before I hit the 3000 mile mark to have the oil change done. We checked the oil and it was completely dry. Not a drip on the dip stick! I think it's safe to say that this vehicle has a engine oil consumption issue.

High oil consumption.

Excessive oil consumption 1qt every 500 miles.

Engine oil burning off way to fast. I have to add 1 qt every 1,200 - 1,500 miles. I took my cat in to the dealership for a oil consumption test and passed. But I did notice that they use 5-20 oil. Which I believe is why it passed. Because I use 0-20 oil, just like my owners manual says. So I'm not sure.

Oil consumption. At 78,000 miles required a quart of oil after 3,000 miles but gets progressively worse. Now at 135,794 miles used a quart of oil after just 459 miles.

Oil light went on. I took the car to sun Toyota, holiday, FL. They advised me to have an oil change at my expense and to come back later to see if there were any issues. I called later and they said it was too early and to come back at about 1100 miles. In the meantime, I received a letter from Toyota re. Warranty enhancement up to 10 years and 150k miles for excessive oil consumption. I was unable to return until today (3/28/15) despite my best efforts. The mileage was 1568 since the oil change and they said it was too late and outside their parameters. They would not do the test again for 6 months. I asked them to at least check the oil and they did so at my insistence and 2 quarts needed to be added and they advised me it was dangerous to drive the car with low oil and to check the oil every week and add oil as necessary. I complained to the service manager and he refused to do anything for 6 mos. I phoned the national Toyota service center and they confirmed that the warranty enhancement existed but refused to do anything for 6 months. They want me to have the oil change done again at my expense for a second time and to pay for the diagnostics for their defective vehicle at my expense. They refuse to do anything about it at their expense for 6 months. I think they should take care of the oil change and the diagnostics and the repairs immediately at their expense. Thank you.

Takata recall, oil consumption.

I have noticed exceessive oil consumption since 2015 is 2016 and have gone through numerous repairs only to still have the same problem. The latest estimate is for an engine replacement because after all of this time one guy actually noticed that the oil was literally burning up right after he changed the oil. I have been stranded on the interstate at night with a toddler for hours, as well as not being able to start the car at times. I have also experienced my car randomly shaking and smoking in traffic, after which the check engine light would come on. My car has been stationary for weeks at a time, most recently this past week after I was unable to find out who could fix it and not keep ripping me off. To find out there was knowledge of this issue by Toyota and nothing was sent to me says a lot about how the lives of their customers, and/or their customer family and others on the road, are actually valued. The number of Camry's manufactured and sold to unknowingly trusting consumers is both shocking and scary.

Excessive oil consumption with my 2az-fe engine. Burns through 1 quart approx. Every thousand miles. Toyota claims this is within warranty but low oil pressure light comes on halfway through my service cycle.

I own a 2008 Toyota Camry and was told today that this make model and year cars have been having a excessive oil consumption problem with the engine. The dealership does not know where the oil is going and that I should watch this to make sure I do not run out of oil and burn up the engine. I have concerns about this since I travel almost 100 miles a day and bought this car for safety and longevity no matter how many miles are involved. My children and I could be left stranded which is a concern in this day and age. From what I am told this is an ongoing problem with this engine why is there no recall? keep in mind this is the same year of the whole accelerator pedal recall.

Engine uses oil. Took car into local Toyota dealer for oil consumption test and they said there was no problem but yet it continues to use oil. I have owned several Toyota's and this is the worst one and probably my last. It's not only a nuisance but also cost us extra money for the added oil.

Oil consumption problems with my car. I went to the dealer and they confirmed that through a test, however they said that they can't fix it because they don't have the parts and that they don't know when they are going to receive them!.

High oil consumption for over 1. 5 years.

November of 2013, it was brought to my attention by a certified mechanic during a routine oil change that my vehicle was burning oil. This would lead to a serious damage to the engine which could lead to fatal complications such as a fire. I am officially filing a complaint against Toyota regarding this issue. Concerned, I performed an official oil change at a local Toyota branch. Approximately 800 miles since that oil change, nearly all of the oil had burned off. I spoke with a Toyota customer service representative, and I was told that there is no 'customer care center' that deals with this issue. It is vital to raise attention to this issue as it is a severely dangerous problem not only for the driver but for the public. It is unacceptable for a vehicle, merely five years since production, which has been heavily branded as reliable to have such a poor performance. Given the responses I have been receiving from Toyota customer service, it is even more jarring that such a reputable company as Toyota would take such matters so lightly.

Excessive oil consumption, Toyota says it is within their standards. Have to add quart of oil every thousand miles. Toyota says this is within their standards, however they dont tell you they knew about this and provided a fix to dealers. Most times it happens though after warranty expires.

08 Camry oil comsumption,using to much oil between oil change,got Toyota notice in the mail about problem,when I took it to Toyota they said my Camry pass the test and was not warranty anything. I told them that it smokes on start up and that is a indication that the eng is burning oil,still no help I have a 94 Camry with no problem. Now I am scared to drive it without damage my engine because it smokes,never again a Toyota product I will buy,I need Toyota to pay for repairs since they no it was a problem. I only had 60 to 70 thousand miles when it started using oil and smoking.

In summer of 2013, power steering pump failed on 2008 Toyota Camry. Car was very difficult to steer, turn and park but had to be driven, though unsafe to drive, for 3 days while pump was ordered and replaced. In the week before the power steering pump failed, the engine was found to be burning oil and had to be rebuilt. During this same month (August, 2013), the gas cover could not be opened to refill the gas tank while out of town, requiring a temporary cable fix by an out-of-town dealer. In the summer of 2014, the anti-lock brake system (abs) actuator failed, also causing loss of speedometer, temperature and tachometer functions. Abs actuator part was ordered and replaced. Then a week later, the brake booster failed (check engine light on multiple times), leaking when brake was depressed. These are just the major safety failures of this 2008 Toyota Camry, which has had other problems, purchased new in 2007 and maintained by the same dealer. This car is not safe or reliable to drive.

Engine oil drastically burns. Nearly 2000 miles running, no engine oil. The dealer recommended tearing down the engine and rebuilding it. The consumer stated the vehicle is currently at the dealer having the engine rebuilt at a cost of $6000. Updated 05/13/14.

Excessive oil consumption.

When braking, I noticed the engine oil light came on. I checked the oil level and it was extremely low. I called Toyota dealership where we had the oil change done and they recommended a oil consumption test. When they tested my vehicle, they noticed that the oil was leaking into the engine because of the defective piston rings. The dealership told me I needed a engine replacement which would cost $6000. Since I bought this car brand new and only had this car for 5 years-this was a big shock. I bought Toyota because of its reputation and I had always kept up with all my maintenance at the dealership. This is a big disappointment and I feel Toyota should compensate for this defect. Please make a recall available for this issue since there are numerous ones experiencing the same problem.

My car has been excessively burn oil. In 2014 I received a letter from Toyota. This letter advise me to have a oil consumption test. I have had 2 the dealer is telling me that there is nothing wrong, that oil burring is normal. I have to put oil in my car at least 3 times in one month. My oil light and engine light comes on to notify me that me oil is dangerously low at least two time between oil changes. The problem is getting worst and Toyota refuses to correct the problem despite the letter and them knowing this is an issue with Toyota camarys . I do not what else to do.

Toyota engines in the model years 2006 to 2010 are defective in that some burn more than 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles. Toyota will test and fix for the condition only when a customer complains about the consumption. A service manager said they have a problem, but will not do a formal recall. This is another cover-up by Toyota. A bad engine can be a safety problem.

Excessive oil use requires vehicle pull over, possibly in traffic when oil light comes on. High oil consumption has been noted during entire life of vehicle. 1 quart per 1000 miles.

The vehicle is burning excessive engine oil. I received the paper from Toyota three months ago that they are processing to build the part for the solution of burning excessive oil. (the paper does show about the reacall of excessive engine oil burning they said I will receive the letter in two months to fix the problem from the dealership since then I have not received any letter for the recall. ) thanks.

Excessive oil consumption I own a 2008 Toyota Camry le the currant mileage is 149,000 miles. It burns one quart of oil every 250 miles, and it's costing me a lot of a money. This problem is not only from me their are much more people complaining online. In addition to that their is lawsuit against Toyota because of excessive oil consumption. The government needs to take action and make this a recall for all vehicles that are affected. I also feel very sorry for the other owners because I know how it feels, so please help. Thanks.
