Engine Burning Oil Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

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.

Excessive oil consumption at a rate of 4 quarts every 3000 miles.

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.

We wish to register a complaint about excessive oil consumption in our 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid and which fell outside the criteria for the appropriate remedy which is to rebuild the engine according to Toyota TSB 0094-11 "2az-fe engine oil consumption". In the TSB, it is noted �some 2006 � 2011 model year vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine may exhibit engine oil consumption. The piston assembly has been changed to minimize oil consumption. � we had our 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid tested February 2015, which was within the extended warranty period of 10 years or 150,000 miles. According to the dealer (tri county Toyota, limerick PA), our car did not meet the criteria for an engine rebuild which is �consumption of more than a quart of oil over 1200 miles. � according to this criterion, an engine which was burning 3 quarts of oil between oil changes (5,000 miles) could mathematically fail this test but is clearly defective. That is the situation we now find ourselves in. Our car has been serviced according to the manufacturer's recommendations for its entire life but has now used 3 quarts of oil between oil changes (5,000 miles). It is not leaking through seals to the exterior, and is therefore burning excessive oil, indicative of the fundamental problem which is the subject of the above-mentioned tsm. We therefore request that Toyota rebuild the engine of our car, free of charge, with the modified piston assembly to rectify the situation.

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.

The low oil indicator came on a few months ago. I checked the oil and I was over 3 quarts low. I took it to the dealer and they dismissed it and told me it was a common problem. It happened again and I took it to a different dealer. They confirmed it was 3+ quarts low. I asked why it gets so low before a light turns on. They didn't know, but told me there was a national repair program because of a problem with oil consumption. The program had just closed and I did not qualify for any follow up warranty because of miles on the car. I called Toyota and they refused to acknowledge a problem with the car and told me that they would not consider my car for any repair. I don't know how long I have been driving with low oil because the indicator does not warn me until there is barely any oil left in the engine. I don't know the extent of damage that has been caused because of this. The dealer told me that I need to check my oil weekly in order to keep the levels up and prevent any further damage. I am concerned I will have a total engine failure at any time because of the design flaw and refusal by Toyota to repair this defect. I am driving a time bomb. I cannot in good conscience sell this car to some unsuspecting buyer and I cannot afford to replace the car at this time because I am in school. This car is unsafe to be on the road. At any time the engine could seize up and with the car being a hybrid and a utilizing a specialty transmission, when it does happen, it could cause a major accident. This is not safe. Toyota needs to repair all of the vehicles affected by this known defect.

I have been noticing that my car has been burning excessive oil for over a year. When I have taken my car in for the regularly scheduled oil changes the service department (not Toyota) has not found a problem. Recently a friend found out on line that there is a Toyota warranty enhancement for this issue good for 10 years/150,000 miles. I called a local Toyota service department but I am outside of the warranty enhancement because I am over the 150,000 miles but I am within the years. My car is 8 years old with 154,000 miles. I told them that I have been having this issue for a year and my car had about 137,000 miles at the time I noticed it was an issue. The suggested I called the Toyota motor company, I called them on 6/15/2017 but I did not get any satisfaction. They will not honor the warranty enhancement since I am over the miles. They say this is a warranty enhancement and not a recall. It should be a recall. The woman I spoke to made a comment that I do not take my vehicle to be serviced at the dealership. Today I looked at my records. I have taken my car to Toyota to be service, recall issues and another warranty enhancement that I was not notified about. I told them today 7/12/2017 that I have taken it to Toyota service department numerous times but I was not informed of the excessive oil burning issue. She said that I would need to tell them I was having a problem first. She alleged that I was sent a letter but I never received a letter. I should have asked her why I was sent a letter but when I have asked Toyota if there were any recalls they did not tell me about the excessive oil burning issue. I am putting a quart of oil in my car per week (500 miles). This is very expensive. I am waiting to here back from a supervisor. There is a problem but Toyota is being sneaking and dishonest about the issue.

Excessive engine oil consumption. Have to add oil at 830 miles. Brought to the dealership numerous times for oil consumption test but was always told it passed the test. Received a warranty enhancement notification from Toyota but it's already expired. It was not expired when I brought my car to the dealership numerous times.

Excess oil consumption (3+ quarts at 2000 miles use). Ongoing issue. . . Auto technician indicated it was due to Toyota recommended oil viscosity too thin allowing rings on pistons to seize; thereby allowing excess oil to bypass and burn off.

Excessive burning oil. Oil pressure light keep coming up on startup of car. The car burns a quart of oil a week. Driving roughly 250 miles a week.

High oil consumption.

All Toyotas with 2azfe engines and their variants need to be recalled. There is an inherent problem with excessive oil consumption due to a design flaw in both the pistons and rings of the engines. This problem then leads to problems with the emissions systems causing catalytic converter failure, a/f sensor failure and oxygen sensor failure. Toyota has known about the excessive oil consumption oil issue for years and has corrected its design. But, those who were unaware of this problem and never informed of it by Toyota are left in the dark. My issue is that the oil consumption now affects the emissions system. It is increasing more difficult to rapidly accelerate due to the fact that this oil consumption has now ruined my catalytic converter and thus making acceleration at the proper rate impossible. I went to accelerate and my car couldn't do it properly, nearly causing an accident. Then I noticed my mil was illuminated. I had it checked and its a p0420 code. I have had the car diagnostically examined and now the car cannot meet the minimum threshold for the car's ecm to conduct a self test, thus illuminating the mil. I have heard of others running out of oil and seizing their engines during operation of their vehicles. This is unsafe. Nhtsa and Toyota are both keenly aware of this issue, but nothing has been done to fix the vehicles that are already on the road. I went to my Toyota dealership where I purchased this vehicle new and the service representative said that Toyota will not fix these vehicles without the customer paying for the repair. The informal quote for the engine alone was $3500. 00 alone, not including the emissions issues. This is an absolute disgrace. I hope you do something about this.

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.
