Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Toyota Camry

My Camry is using excessive oil and it has the same engine number included in all the other complaints. I took my car in to have the oil consumption test done. No leaks were found, oil change was done and I was told to come back in a week. The first check up oil was added by the technician (ii was not told how much) and I was asked to return in 1000 miles. I was told to add oil if needed. When I returned for this check, up, I let them know that I had to add a quart of oil between the check ups. When the csr returned he said we were all set. The amount of oil being consumed was "within the parameters ". I know this is not correct! they say nothing is to be done. I can hear the tapping noises from the pistons in my engine about every 3 days of driving because of the lack of oil. My car looses power and starts acting sluggish etc. . . This is damaging my vehicle! I have taken excellent care of my car. I hought it brand new. Oil changed on time along with all suggested maintenance. Please investigate these complaints on this Toyota' engine. By 2011 this problem should have already been corrected. Now I see that some of the cars have been fixed while others have not been. If all have the same problem, Toyota needs to be held accountable. My car's value is lower due to this problem and I will have to keep adding 3-4 quarts of oil between oil changes (@ $13 00 a quart) as I cannot afford to purchase another at this time.

I had my breaks changed back in July, before I left on military orders. When I came back home, I noticed my car wasn't working properly. I would have to press really hard for them to work. Or they would still be engaged like, making it harder for me to drive. As well my car would rev up, in park mode. Or while I'm waiting at a red light or stop sign. I've noticed a popping sound on left side of my car as well. My electric system will sometimes cut off everything in my car. I will have to turn car off wait a few mins and turn it back on. I have had check engine lights come on, I took it to body shop. They ran a test on it. And stated everything was fine, and rest codes. I use this car to and from work. I get frequently maintenance checks. The only thing I've had done to care was replacement of head light from a deer hitting me. I've noticed malfunction prior to deer hitting me. I was told by body shop to report issues.

Today I noticed during my car parked at start up there was a ticking sound towards the front end of the engine. After maybe about a min or two it quieted down a lil but it is still noticeable when your standing in front of car. I can't seem to figure out if there is a problem with the fuel pump or if the transmission is slipping as to my previous comment on acceleration delay from a stop.

I have 2007 Camry with a ticking noise coming from engine, but check engine light coming on. Take it to dealer n tell them I couldnt read no codes because no check engine light. Can hou guys hook up to your computer? service advisor said ok we'll take a look. When they're done, advisor told me we couldnt get no codes there's no check engine light, &charged me $159. 2 tell me what I originally told him. Rip off.

At times at the first start-up in the morning, and during the day following the vehicle sitting for couple hours (some times less and at other times longer periods), the engine produces a rattling or tapping noise for two or three seconds then it goes away. Often, after an immediate shut-off and restart, the engine produces the same noise for couple seconds then it stops. It's easy to miss the noise if the radio is on or the surrounding is noisy.

Got an oil changed and sbout 3 weeks after heard engine making a funny knocking and ticking sound. Looked under hood to check fluids and the oil was completely dry! had to fill it up w quarts of oil, and constantly dump oil into engine because it was burning up so rapidly every 2/3 weeks, mate nice light would come on indicating low oil, received a letter from Toyota indicating they have a problem w the car consuming engine oil to rapidly, confronted the local dealer ship of my issue n they insist I must pay out of pocket to repair engine which now is knocking very loudly n has no excelleration at 95. 00 an hr then they can perform engine oil consumption test to determine if that was the reason for my failure! which I know is!!! I have researched it and found there is a class action lawsuit on Toyota dealing w this specific issue! how do I get my vehicle fixed with out having to pay for their engine failure and poor manufacturing?.

My car started making clicking noises underneath the hood when I turned a corner. I took it to gateway Toyota to find out what the problem was and found out that that I need a new transmission. My problem with needing a transmission is that the car was made to be in automatic overdrive. In the manual is states that the overdrive should always be on. I believe that driving with the overdrive on at all times caused the transmission to eventually fail before its time. I also believe there is a defect in the transmission because when I turn off the overdrive, the car drives fine. In addition, many mechanics I have talked to stated that the overdrive really shouldn't be used that often and it is strange that the Toyota Camrys were built to have the overdrive on continuously. I know that there is no recall,but I strongly believe that this problem happens often, but may not be reported due to the mileage.

I went to world Toyota on 3/1/13 to get normal scheduled maintenance. I mentioned the check engine light came on while I was on the way to the dealership. A diagnostic test was performed and reported that I needed a r/r camshaft timing gear replaced. The check engine light was reset. I was told I didn't have to replace the part at that time, but would have to get it replaced when the light comes on again. The check engine light and maintenance req lights came on 6/11. I had a diagnostic run. I was told the camshaft gear needed to be replaced. I contacted world Toyota to have the part ordered and made an appt to come in on 6/21. On 6/17, I heard 2 loud popping noises. I checked the oil b/c there was smoke coming from the oil pan. I checked the dip stick twice and noticed it was dry. I placed 3 quarts of motor oil in the car. I started the engine. It started making a knocking sound. I parked and contacted world Toyota to explain the situation. I towed the car to the dealership on 6/19. The svc advisor told me the short block engine needed to be replaced; this was due to no fault of my own. There were no normal warning signs: check oil light or black smoke. I got all the recommended svcs at the correct intervals. When I asked where the oil went, I was told it evaporated. The inspection report states I need refurbished engine or a new short block for $5,500 and $6,400. I was told those were the best prices that world Toyota could offer because the car is no longer under warranty. I called the Toyota cx exp ctr to voice my complaint and explained there are no recalls for this issue, but there are complaints for this same issue, oil consumption. I was told they could reimburse me $2,000 for replacing the engine or give me $1,000 off the purchase of a new or used Toyota vehicle once I submit an invoice stating I paid for the svc and that the engine was replaced by world Toyota.

Toyota Camry 2009 engine failure due to sludging. My leased 2009 Toyota Camry (just two year old car) recently had died right ona road while I was driving it to my mechanic. Few days before that I noticed a clanking noise coming from under the hood. Call my mechanic anf got an appointment. On the day of the appointment noticed clanking noise increase when I started engine. Not even 2 miles later my engine -boom!- had thrown rod throught the bottom of the case, making a large hole, spilling oil all over the road. Luckily, I was able to drift and pull to the side without causing accident. Towed car to the nearest Toyota center, where they opened top cover of the engine and right away anounced that engine is gelled and Toyota will not cover the repair under waranty because to them the sludge they saw looked like clear case of poor maintenance. Even though I carefuly kept and produced all receipts showing that I was changing oil, filter and rotated tires every 5000 miles. My internet research showed that there could be a lot more reasons to sludge buld-up than just poor oil change habit, but as far as I am aware, Toyota did not perform any tests or checks on my car. Just one look and-voila- they already know that it is my fault. Fact that this is my 3-rd back-to-back Toyota lease and that I always keep receipts of service does not mean anything to them. $7000-$8000 repair out of my pocket is out of question. I will speak with Toyota headquarters in califronia. If this will not reoslve my problem, I will have no choice bu to engage my attroeny and litigate. I also want to open a case and report dangerous situation I was put through due to Camry engine failure while driving on a road at 50 mi/h. I could easily be less lucky.

Leaking head gasket-car began making intermittent clicking noise. Dealer checked and said nothing to worry about-probably loose fuel pump. They tightened that. Still noise. Took it back-"oops" it's a leaking head gasket they said had been defective since manufacture. Had I continued to drive I could have experienced complete engine failure at any speed.

As I was driving to work, at 7:30 am on Thursday April 22, 2004, I noticed a clicking sound coming from under my auto's hood. The auto was a 1999 Toyota Camry, with about 90,100 miles on it. The clicking noise reminded me of a spinning roulette wheel. After a few minutes, the noise increased in intensity. At that point, I decided that I needed to go to a repair facility to have it examined. As I was doing that, there was a loud, explosion-like noise and the engine started smoking very heavily. I pulled off the road, at which point, I gathered up some important items from my car, and exited the vehicle. By this time, there were flames coming out from under the hood. I called 911 and advised the dispatcher of my circumstances and location. The connecticut state police arrived within three minutes of my call. They tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher, but were unable to do so. By the time the fire department arrived, 10 minutes later, the engine compartment was completely engulfed in flames and smoke. They were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but by that time, the car was ruined. A few minutes later, a tow truk removed the vehicle to a nearby garage. I called my insurance company and filed a claim. They have since declared the vehicle a total loss and are in the process of remitting my settlement.

I purchased a 2003 Toyota Camry on 7/14/03. When my son rode with me on 3/18/04 and 3/26/04, he heard a clicking noise that I was unable to hear. I took it to the dealer on 3/26/04. The car has about 4000 miles. The problem was first diagnosed as a bearing in a rod. They received permission from Toyota to pull out the engine and found another rod to be bad. They then determined the crankshaft was faulty. I have also read the comments on the brakes. Although I have never had the pedal go to the floor, the pedal does depress further than with other cars. These are anti-lock brakes.

My car (a 2001, 4-cylinder, Toyota Camry le; VIN #: 4t1bg28k41u830198) has been at the service department for 26 days. I had the car towed to that dealership when it suddenly broke down on a major interstate without warning. The car started to jerk sporadically and hesitate when I depressed the gas pedal. The car got worse it started to make a clicking-and-clacking noise and seemed that it would die at anytime. As I approached the service station, I heard a loud popping sound and the front of the car started to smoke. I asked the mechanics at the station to check under the hood. After looking at the car, one of the mechanics asked how long have you had this car?? when I told him that it was a 2001, he said that he?d never seen this type of damage in a 2-year old car. He recommended that I take it to the dealer because it should be a repair that would be covered under warranty. Two letters and several calls later and my car still sits at the dealership. I received a call from percy chan of Toyota's national customer relations center (310-468-2846) on October 17, 2003. Mr. Chan called to find out what happened with my 2001 Toyota Camry (approx 66,060 miles). He then said that he'd gotten an email from the dealership that said that the dealership offered to make the repairs for $500 (this is down from $5,500; the original estimate for the repair. I received a second call from mr. Chan on October 20, 2003. He called to tell me that he'd reviewed the letter and couldn't understand why the dealership would let my car sit on the lot taking up space. He said that they had gotten money from Toyota to make repairs under the customer support program. I received a third call from mr. Chan on October 21, 2003. He called to tell me that the mr. Boots was no longer the service manager and the new manager was lisa. He said that lisa checked with the mechanic and said that the damage was caused by valvoline who had done my last oil change.

The car suddenly broke down on a major interstate out of washington, DC, on my way home from work. Without warning (e. G. , no warning lights or previous problems), it started to jerk sporadically and hesitated when I depressed the gas pedal. As I approached my exit to I-495 north, the car got worse it started to make a clicking-and-clacking noise and seemed that it would die at anytime. I took the first exit off of I-495 (210: indian head highway, south) because I knew that there was a shell gas station with a garage. As I approached the station, I heard a loud popping sound and the front of the car started to smoke. I was terrified that the car would catch on fire.

While driving at highway speeds, a clicking noise was heard and then smoke started to come from under the hood. The vehicle lost power. The consumer viewed flames under the hood.

Consumer states that while she was driving heard a popping sound, then saw white smoke, soon after that she saw black smoke. She got out of car, and saw sparks coming from under the vehicle, then fire started coming from the engine (front of the auto) part. The fire department was called, and when the fire was put out, the fireman said that it might have been a mixture of oil getting on the hot motor which started the fire.

2000 Camry, v6, le - check engine light came on and would not go off. Was told it was probably because of filling the gas too much. The light stayed on over two years and I had to have the "sensor" replaced. It was only about five months ago when I had this replaced - and again the check engine light has came on and will not shut off. My car has almost 150,000 miles but the check engine light started having problems back around 50,000. I also had problems with backend clunking noises, and my front wheels clicked, and now the brakes squeak like crazy (and have for over two years). Every time I have the car looked at, and it has been by the dealers and authorized repair stations, they are unable to fix the problem. As for the check engine light - it cost me over $400 for repair - and now after only about 5 months, I guess I'll have to pay it again.
