The engine started to burn oil excessively about 1 year after I purchased the car in 2013 and now in 2018 there are 2 cylinders with low pressure and the dealership has told me I need a new engine. The car is not giving a code : check vsc system and the car cuts completely off while driving, no control of brakes or acceleration, very dangerous. I was traveling on a city street and the car just cut completely off and all lights and bells illuminated on the dash board. The oil consumption problem ultimately burnt the engine up and Toyota would not repair the car.
Toyota Camry Hybrid 2007 engine oil burning too fast, I drive only 1500 miles after changed my engine oil. In the last time it was decreased 1100 miles. Also my engine covered by engine oils and liking everywhere. Second, I drove yesterday and my brake stuck and cant stop. It was happened me second time.
Excess oil consumption tested by dealer and apparently cleared recurred but now out of extended warranty.
Vehicle has problem with excessive oil consumption. Low engine oil indicator on despite oil being in the system. I have been in contact with the dealer, and Toyota customer service, because I did not receive notification and that the problem occurred after the time period that they gave for remediation, they can do nothing. I have had to park this vehicle because it is said that the engine could seize, at any time, creating a safety hazard.
High oil consumption.
First: I got check vsc system when I made a u-turn. I read the failure code is c1391. So, it means abs accumulator is leaking. I also noticed abs accumulator was pretty noise about two month before. I though it may be a problem, but I did not pay attention on it because I was suffering the engine oil consumption. Now, it really died. I got many cases online about this issues and they reported that Toyota has redesigned this accumulator, so it means Toyota already knew this problem. This is a very important issue. It may cause deadly accident if the brake doesn't work suddenly. In addition, fix this problem needs over two thousands dollars. It should not be paid by owner since this is a design defect. I hope Toyota will recall this problem. Second, this car's engine piston ring has defect. This causes engine oil consumption. In fact, my car is burning engine oil now. It's about 1500 miles/0. 6quart. It will get worse and this also may cause engine failure in the future.
During the last 2 or 3 oil changes the shop I was at noted that the car was low on oil when it came it. I've always made sure they filled it to the top and while checking it recently in between changes (2k before next oil change was due) the dipstick was only showing oil at the halfway marks between the two dots on the stick. I also noticed that during hard acceleration on the highway smoke is coming out of the tailpipe. There are no visible leaks and the car has been properly maintained. I am filing this complaint to join the growing number of camry owners that are having this oil consumption problem. A car with less than 100k miles should not be having this problem. And the fact that Toyota states that it is normal for some oil to be burned in between changes does not sit well with me. This is unacceptable and Toyota needs to step up and fix this issue.
