Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry - part 1

09 Toyota Camry is burning oil. At startup smoke comes out of exhaust. I have to add about a quarter of oil once a month. I've noticed this is a known problem 07-10 model Camry. I need to get this problem resolved. Please advise me of solution.

This car burns about two quarts of motor oil in just one week. Since we purchased this car several years ago it's been burning oil more than it should. There aren't any leaks. It's just burns it.

Burning 3 quarts of oil in between 3000 mile oil changes.

Burning excess oil need cylinder replacement.

The defective engine on my 2009 Camry made me almost crash while driving on the highway. Basically I had multiple misfires and lost the power in the middle of the highway risking the car behind me crashing into me. I have the 2. 4l engine. This engine is notorious for burning oil due to faulty pistons, and even though a lot of people had this problem, Toyota never issued a recall. My engine burns a lot of oil too not only risking my life by having multiple misfires, but it also ruins my catalytic converter and not to mention the cost of oil that I use to constantly top it of.

The desk is getting worst sticky and that reflect to windshield hard to see sometimes. . And consuming lots of engine oil. . Both they issued extented warranty but I never got any mail from Toyota they says they send me on older adress. . But I am living this adress since 2012 and the same adress on my driving lisence since 2012. Now when it came in my knowledge these problem I contact Toyota but they says I just passed 10 years and they cant do anything. Now I am stuck with this oil consumption its running out whole engine oil level on every 2000 mile. . . No oil in it. So pls help us. Thanks. My car is 2009 Toyota Camry le.

The engine is burning oil internally. There is no external leakage. Noticed the problem in may 2019. Have oil change done. After 600 miles, noticed the same problem excessive oil consumption on July 27, 2019. In my opinion it is a safety hazard and should have a recall. .

I took my car to get serviced at a local oil change place in July 2019. They noticed that my engine was consuming oil very rapidly which wasn't normal. Luckily for me, there was a former Toyota service technician working there who recalled an oil consumption issue impacting some Toyota brands. They did a little research and found some information online regarding a potential recall of the impacted vehicles. I wasn't aware of any type of issue with my car's engine or a recall in which I could have it remedied. This was the first time I was hearing of the issue. I took that information to a local Toyota dealer and after reviewing it, they said "we're sorry sir, but your vehicle is no longer under warranty so we're not doing anything. " they contacted corporate and the response was the same. I contacted corporate and the response was the same as well. I'm really annoyed that Toyota noticed an issue with their engine's consumption of oil and didn't inform me. I spoke with the service manager at the same dealership and he said "your car basically has stage 4 cancer. . . This issue will persist and eventually your car will die. " this is literally what he said. Now I'm stuck with a paid-off Toyota that will eventually die as a result of Toyota's negligence and failure to inform me of an issue. There only option was to sell my car which just seems very telling of the situation as a whole. I work in metro atlanta so at any given time, my car could just die while I'm doing 65mph. And Toyota could care less. They're hoping to wash their hands of the matter when they should really be employing common sense practices. If there was some type of recall or issue with my car's engine and I was aware, do they really think I would have twiddled my thumbs and done nothing? I simply want my car fixed especially since I was never aware of any issue.

Excessive oil burning in engine . Also causing blue smoke to come from exhaust when turning on car in the morning.

Burning oil too fast.

The engine of my car has been burning through oil so fast. The engine check light is on so I took it to the auto shop to get it checked out and the employee there told me to contact Toyota since there was a recall on the 2009 Camry engine. I called Toyota place in garden grove and the person I spoke to said that they are unable to help me since recall has been expired and to call headquarters. However, I informed her that I never got a notice from Toyota about this recall. I also informed her that I took my Camry 2009 into the dealership in January 2018 to get the dashboard replaced from another recall but no one informed me about the engine recall during that time either. Toyota had failed to notify me twice. Toyota failed to send me a notice about the engine recall and they again failed to notify me when I brought in my car to get the dashboard fixed. So I contacted headquarters and the person on the other line told me the same thing that they can't help me since the time to bring in my car had expired and that I would have to pay for the fix out of pocket. I wish they would do a thorough job of reaching out to their consumers regarding the safety of their cars.

Original owner of 2009 Camry with 84k miles burned through so much oil between oil changes that the engine was over 3 qts low, restored oil level did not eliminate noises assessed to be rod slap due to excessive wear. I now expect the engine to die at any time with thrown rod.

Bought a used 09 Camry. Everything seemed fine until 2 months after driving the car we noticed it was burning through oil, 2. 5+ qts per 1000 miles. Did an oil consumption test and failed only to be told that they couldn't do anything because it's out of warranty (past the 10 yr mark). I don't understand why they'd even perform the oil consumption test knowing they couldn't help if it indeed failed because although it was out of warranty they explained that the oil consumption test is "warranty protocol" before any repairs are made. . . I called the headquarters office and spoke to 2 reps who both documented my issue and said, "we'll forward your complaint to our manager and create a case. . . I honestly believe we should take care of this", only to hear back from the manager who lead me on during the call by saying, "it's our job here at Toyota to service customers in need. I'm familiar with your situation after reading your case notes. You did nothing wrong and weren't negligent. Let me see what I can do to help you". Then literally the next sentence the guy said, "I'm sorry, we can't help you". I asked him why he said he was going to help me, knowing the details of the case which explained that I wanted to have this oil consumption issue fixed. He literally said, "I was familiar with the resolution you were searching for and I knew you were out of warranty for this particular issue. But because it's a unique situation and I can make things happen on my end, I decided to offer assistance". Yet he did nothing. Now I'm out $5500.

All engine services were done always in Toyota's center, now car is 154329 km(95,895miles) and I started to check oil by myself in the last year and I noticed excessive motor oil consumption. Actually I need to add 1qt oil every 3 weeks (1 qt every 350 miles aproximately). The motor is not dripping the oil on the floor, so it must be going somewhere.

Excessive oil consumption.

Excess oil consumption.

Recently I have noticed that as I am applying the brake or taking a curve my oil light comes on. After doing some research I found there is an issue of oil consumption that is known. My car averages using a quart of oil every 800-1200 miles. This is not normal at all.

On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 rpm) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when a/c is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance. May be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but I am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?.

Oil burning consumption, my vehicle is constantly burning oil and when I went to the Toyota of orlando dealership to have the oil consumption test done they advised my vehicle had passed the test, so due to them stating this they did not repair my vehicle , since then I have reached out to Toyota and they too, are failing to do any repairs to the vehicle as now my vehicle is over the millage , but when I originally went and got the test done it was under the millage for them to fix it. I constantly have to keep putting oil in my vehicle and I don't think that is fair to me as they failed to do the repair.

Excessive oil consumption now engine need to be replace.

Engine burns approximately 1 quart of oil for every 500 miles. General Toyota of toms river stated that oil consumption on the engine is within allowance and refused to correct the problem at 142000 miles. Car has been brought to this dealer with no oil on the dip stick, and ignored.

Excessive oil consumption. Toyota says they want repair the problem unless using 1 qtr per 1000 miles. If a car was using that much oil between oil changes there would be no oil for it to run on. If the oil is depleted from the motor on the interstate and locks up, accidents will be caused. My car is using several qtrs between oil changes and this is not acceptable.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry. While driving various speeds, the vehicle consumed an inordinate amount of oil.

I have been dealing with this issue for over a year now. I have done the whole oil consumption test with the dealership and they said that the car had hardly burned off any oil after the 1,200 miles of driving. Yet when I drove the car for another 2,300 miles the oil pressure light comes on. So I have been carrying extra quarts of oil with my whenever the light comes on. Toyota said that I could have it tested again after 6 months and this would be the last one they would perform. There is never leaking oil anywhere out side of the car after it has been parked. Toyota clearly knows that there is an issue since they have posted at TSB. Just fix my car!.

Excessive burning of oil. Have had to change oil in less than 3000 miles due to oil light coming on and no oil registering on dipstick, and now no oil after just over 1000 miles of driving.

My son, driving to back to shool, was left in the road with our 2009 Camry 5 seconds after the oil light came on. (excessive oil consumption issue known by Toyota - August 11, 2011, Toyota issued a technical service bulletin TSB to dealers) we were not aware of this problem or we would have advised him to check the oil every gas fill up to prevent problems. The car is a complete loss, but what concerns me most is that he was on a country highway with miles of open space between towns. Luckily he was just entering bedford va and made it to the entrance of a shopping center before the car died. Since he was blocking the shopping center entrance 'some random guy' helped him push the car into a parking area. Had this happened between towns and his car been stuck on the highway this could have been extremely dangerous. Both the shop we towed the car to and the company that last changed the oil investigated why the oil ran dry after only 1500 miles. Their conclusions matched in that there were no signs of faulty maintanance from the oil change nor any signs of obvious leaks. To leave people in dangerous situations because a company does not want to accept responsibility for faulty or defective equipment nor do they want to notify owners that this could be a serious issue is beyond contempt. This is pure negligence on Toyota's part not informing the car owners of this serious problem. In the meantime we need to determine what to do with a 'dead' car.

Smell burning of oil inside car. I was driving on city street. I checked oil dipstick and no trace of oil, meaning oil extremely low. I have driven car about 2800 miles since last oil change. The recommendation is to change oil every 5000 miles per Toyota owner manual. My odometer reading is 76488 miles. Toyota dealer check car last year for excessive oil consumption and said consumption is normal. I have been monitoring oil consumption myself . I found that midway between oil change( I. E. 2500 miles) , I have to add 2quarts of oil to bring level to normal.
