On Dec. 27, 2018 while driving on the expressway I heard a severe/loud knocking noise in front of my vehicle that I had never heard before. I could still drive however the vehicle had slowed down and began shaking. I hurried off the expressway. I decided to to go to the Toyota dealership the street way as I was in that area. At that time I was advised that internal engine damage had occurred and the engine will have to be replaced, nothing further. The estimated cost would be $10,435. I had the vehicle towed to my home. They later indicated via email that my case would be filed with Toyota motor sales u. S. A. Inc. Under file#1903113024. Why does a 2008 Camry ce with 60,896 miles breakdown without warning. I decided to research the matter. I found out that Toyota had a oil consumption defect class action lawsuit in 2014, one of many, indicating 2006-2011 model year vehicles (including Camry) had defective engines that burn excessive amounts of oil which can cause engine failure in a moving vehicle. Further, Toyota was aware of the design defect, but still manufactured and sold their vehicles without warning consumers. They also failed to warn drivers that this defect would create serious safety issues. I contacted Toyota with this information to no avail.

1. Every time I back out of my driveway my brakes squeak very loudly. 2. The transmission never knows what gear to be in while driving and will clunk in and out of gear while in motion. 3. Has a terrible burning smell of plastic and oil like when the car engine is hot. 4. Drive side cabin has a constant antifreeze smell while running the a/c 5. The engine has a horrible load knocking noise while running. It sounds like a very old car. 6. I don't know what's wrong with the acceleration of the car or if it was designed this way but the 3-5 sec delay is dangerous I have complained about each one of these items to the Toyota dealer in gastonia nc at the 5 mile, 10mile and 15mile service and each time the dealer just tells me its fine and that's normal.

Vehicle has a oil consumption issue that has lead to engine failure. Vehicle consumes oil quickly without signs of oil leak. We changed the oil and discovered it was using a large amount of oil in a short time period. Driver was not aware oil was being consumed at such a high rate. Driver only discovered issue after recently changing oil and checking it. The only reason we checked the oil is because we heard knocking sounds from the engine. When we checked the dip stick it had no oil.

The mileage on my Camry was 90317 miles when the dealership made the necessary repairs on sept. 10, 2014. I paid $849. 79 for the repairs.

Earlier this year, my 2007 Toyota Camry started producing some whitish smoke when starting the engine. More recently, the engine began sounding noisy when accelerating - more of a rattle or clacking than a knocking sound. I had it checked out and the mechanic didn't see any leaks, but mentioned that it could be engine components that were machined properly and started to show as the car got more mileage. While travelling on the highway a couple weeks ago at 70mph, my car started to lose power and the engine was sounding worse and worse. I managed to get to the shoulder of the highway just before the engine sputtered and died out. When I tried to restart the car, there was a loud banging and clanging in the motor and the motor then died. The mechanic said that my car had thrown a rod and it shredded the motor. My options were: 1) rebuild the motor from dealer parts - $8-9k! 2) have a rebuilt motor installed - $6-7k! 3) have a salvaged motor installed - $5-6k! options 1 and 2 didn't make much sense as that would be very close to the current blue book value. I had my car towed to my local mechanic and managed to get option 3 done for $4500. Still a lot more than I was hoping or needing to spend. Both mechanics mentioned that they had seen a number of 07 Camrys with motor problems, including one very recently that was the same as my damage. The salvaged motor I had installed was at 59k miles and I'm really hoping that I don't have similar problems. This makes me very concerned for the quality of Toyota cars.
Our Toyota Camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our Camry is not a recall but all the other Toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a TSB bulletin has been issued. . Just not ours ? this is ridiculous. I will never buy another Toyota ever now.
Engine made knocking noise. Inspection by Toyota dealer revealed engine main bearing problems probably resulting from low oil pressure or oil depletion. Possible faulty piston rings with this engine/year 2007. This problem is reportedly common with this 4 cylinder engine, but I do not have sufficient data to better assess.

I have a 2009 Toyota Camry hybrid. I got an oil change. A day later the dash light came on. I just assumed that they didn't reset my oil change light. I drove it for about two weeks and then took a 300 mile round trip. When I was driving home, I was hearing a knocking noise. I went to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They said that the oil filter was not on the vehicle, there was oil under the body of the car and that I would need a new engine due to this one burned up. Has anyone ever had an oil filter blown off the vehicle. I'm curious due to the fact that it took two weeks to burn up and oil would have come out faster if the oil filter had been left off from the oil change.
I have a 1999 Toyota Camry. I changed my oil consistently before every 2500 miles or 3 months, however the oil in my engine still "slugged" or "gelled". I visited my local Toyota dealership to have it fixed and they informed me that the problem was common amongst Toyota Camry's and that they could not cover the engine damage for me unless I provided receipts as proof that I changed my oil every 2500 miles or 3 months since the day I purchased the car. I had not been keeping my receipts as my fiance would often change my oil for us. Needless to say, I had to spend over $2,000 replacing my engine only to later find out that the problem was much more common and severe than I had been told and that Toyota does in fact recognize the defect and offers to fix it complimentary. I learned this while I was out car shopping (at a different dealership) since I no longer feel safe on the road in my unsuitable Toyota Camry. My old engine has been replaced but the new one is not working properly. My mechanic told me it's because the defective part that caused the engines to gel up has now been removed from replacement engines. There is now a noticeable banging noise coming from my engine. I am completely disgusted with the way I was treated by my local Toyota dealership. I was sold a car with a known history of defective engines and the car manufacturers refuses to fix it for me. What type of scam is this?.

The Camry (VIN# 4t1bg22k1yu012043) I bought the car in August 2000 engine prematurely wearing out, giving out loud rattling and knocking noises, even the car is only 5. 5 years old with 95000 pampered highway miles on it. I was really surprised that the car with less than 6 years of drive, and being well maintained, the engine could be of such inferior quality. It is totally opposite of my expectation when I first made the decision to buy this car. I was banking on the high quality of the car, the durability. Even dealership and Toyota experienced technician admit that the car had been taken good care of, they are all surprised that the Camry less than 100,000 miles would have such problem. All that they are saying is that I did not have good luck, it may well be 1 bad apple out of 1000 good ones, but I got it. All I want to say bad apple is bad apple. It is not 1 out of 1000; it is 1 out of 1 for me. Toyota sales promoted the Camry with false and misleading statement by saying Camry in average can run flawlessly for 200000 miles, based on the trust and perception of high quality of the car, I bought it, I paid high interest of 8. 9%, pampered my car, the engine is still prematurely wearing out. Toyota refuse to correct the obvious manufacturers defect, even though the engine had been diagnosed by Toyota doctor in tualatin or, and beaverton Toyota experienced technician, they both agreed the car had been taken good care of, and the problem is manufacture defect. .
