I have 2009 Toyota Camry le, the problem is engine oil, if I changed/filled the engine oil in certified stores, but after 400 miles the engine oil is not in the engine chamber I checked the leaks or any other sort of damage but there's nothing like that I verified the same thing with the dealership too. Basically my point is due to extensive consumption of engine oil the engine will brake in the middle of driving and there are chances it will explode and there's a danger while driving the car it's like pulled the granite pin and sit above it. And due to this the braking system will fail and the person loose his life and the dependses will be suffered a lot. Please look at this issue. Thank you.

Toyota had a recall for engine oil consumption, and I never received a notice yet my year, make and model are part of the "warrenty enhancment program". Now I have a non working car and they are refusing to fix the issue.

I currently a 2009 Toyota Camry I was financed a year ago not even a year ago. From tkp autos in eastlake, ohio. This car consumes too much oil, so I use marvel mystery oil so every 2300-3k miles I have to change the oil. . Also my key fob stopped working, I changed the batteries and they still dont work also the O2 sensors went as well and replaced them twice and they still keep stop working also I found a lot of information on consumer reports that the years 2007-2009 Toyota Camrys are highly unreliable cars to own or lease. Ive seen a lot of complaints and other owners who had the engine sieze on them as well. . These cars are a lemon and not safe to drive also my dash board is very sticky as well from the sun and it turns out that is a melting affect that is dangerous as well also I see the accelerator pedal can give away and that is dangerous as well there should be recalls for the oil consumption and everything else.

Excessive oil consumption, I was not sent a recall notice on excessive oil consumption of my 2009 Toyota Camry that I purchased on 9/30/2009. Excessive oil consumption relates to the manufacturer defect of the 2009 and other model cars. The pistons and motor did not fit correctly which is causing excessive oil consumption along with other problems that relate to it. I bought my car in 2009, the problem was discovered between 2008-2015. I was not sent a recall notice so I could have brought my car in to fix it. The problem does not show up until the warranty expires or 60,000 later. I was not sent a recall because my car was new and it would be years before the problem starts to happen. I should have been notified regardless. I take good care of my car's maintenance. When I found out about the recall about 2 years ago from google the internet and I saw the class action lawsuits that was field. I still was not notified about the recalls. Now the problem is happening. Please help me I can not afford another car. Everyone should have been notified about the recall.

Was driving normally a month or so ago and noticed brake light and engine light come on during medium-to-hard braking. Went to firestone to check brakes out and was told engine oil was extremely low and they poured 3 qts in. Was told to get it checked by someone knowledgeable in engines. Got it checked out and was told the 2007-2010 model year Camry had that problem. Was told by someone I know (also owns 2009 or 2010 Camry) that he had the car fixed during a recall. Checked my VIN and there is no recall currently. I bought the car used in 2013 with about 30k miles and am currently above 70k with this problem. Searched the internet and found that it is not uncommon.

I bought my car in October 2009. I did not discover until years later that the pistons for the 2009 Toyota Camry le did not fit correctly. This caused oil consumption problems, but it did not start happening until a 3-year warranty and at about 60-70 thousand miles. I did not get a notice of recall notice of Toyota's resolution to the problem, because they had the wrong apartment number and email address which I was told by rep. Sherry and rose at Toyota corporation. Rep. Said she was sending information to higher up at the corporation instead she sending it to the dealership. I did not get notice of a class action suit/resolution, trotter body, or melting dashboard. I have paid at least $6-7 thousand to dealerships workmanship is bad. I need help!! because I did not get notices Toyota should fix and compensate me for repairs. Also, they replaced my hold break system because they assumed the shrieking noise was the break. This was done without my permission. I had to replace the axle they replaced less than a year ago. I am frustrated. I can not pay out any more money. My car stopped working on i95 I had to have it told to the dealership in mamaroneck. Rep sherry told me the trotter body is on recall until 2026, dealership is saying no. I can be reached at 914 843 6222.

The engine and transmission there mess to!.

This 2009 Toyota Camry, le model comsume too much oil every 2000 miles, the oil light turn after 2000 miles, this start happend in 2018,my mechanic told me it's a manufacture problem from Toyota Camry 2007 to 2009,.

This Toyota Camry engine has a known problem of consuming more oil. Toyota never conveyed or sent any letter to me regarding this issue. When I called Toyota care after looking at internet posts, Toyota customer care told me that this problem is covered under warranty for 10 years and beyond that it is not covered. I told them that I was never conveyed regarding this problem so that I can take my car to Toyota dealer instead of my regular mechanic shop. Toyota told me that because you did not bring your call to dealer you did not come to know about the problem. My stand is that I should not be forced to go to dealer for regular repair, any known major issue should have been conveyed to me via proper communications like other recalls. My car is just 10 years 6 months old and Toyota is not accepting the warranty of known issue even though they did not send any letter to me regarding this warranty/issue they identified in particular engines including my 2009 Camry.

I noticed recently that I was having to add oil between 3k oil change. Since then I habe discovered online the TSB 0094-11. I ran a ck on the odometer after adding oil and yes it is right at 1200 miles. That would mean 2qts of oil added between 3000 mi. Oil change.

2 complaints: 1. When I depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where I have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, I pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. The Camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles I have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.

I bought 2009 Toyota Camry from used dealer in Feb 2016. I had some other issues but not losing engine oil. On August 21st took the car for oil change and service adviser asked if my car lose oil. I said no. Then said well if you do lose oil then bring back and we will fix free of charge. Within few days engine oil warning light showed up, took to the same dealer and he said don't worry it will be fixed free. After 3 weeks no response from Toyota, called them and found out that they cant repair it free as engine is not original on the car. I said I have now idea as I bought used, plus I never had this before, they sabotage my car to create a work so get paid by the Toyota corp. This is not fair Toyota having such reputation. Car has still Toyota Camry engine and driven miles 130k. If Toyota will not address the issue, there will be a compaign against Toyota from the first place as this car is no more reliable.
