We bought a Toyota Camry because of Toyota's reputation for reliability and durability expecting to see 100,000 or even 200,000 miles if it was maintained according to the maintenance guide. We did purchase it pre-owned with 72,000 miles on it, thinking that for a Toyota, that was low mileage and we could expect a wonderful, reliable car for years to come. After 8 months the cars engine is dead due to excessive oil consumption, this left the mechanics at the AAA garage scratching their heads when they couldn't find an oil leak, yet the engine had blown up. And the engine oil light came on only a few minutes before the engine locked up and died. Now I'm reading all these forums on how Toyota has known this to be a problem and will not stand behind their faulty engine and make this right for the owners of the vehicles with this problem. I personally chose a Toyota because I am not rich and needed the value for my dollar. Now I find myself without a vehicle and $9000 left on a car loan. How am I to get to work? I can't afford two car payments. I could lose my job. Can someone please make Toyota corporation make this right for the victims of their defective engine.

PUT A NEW MOTOR IN THIS CAR IN 08/16 AND TODAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!!!!!!! NO OIL LIGHT INDICATION SAME AS THE FIRST TIME AND THRU A ROD AND THE MOTOR IS BUSTED YET AGAIN. MUST BE SOMETHING WRING WITH THIS BLOCK/MOTOR SYSTEM. HOW CAN A CAR THAT IS regularly CHANGE AND MAINTAINED WITH MAINTENANCE MESS UP TWICE. I PAID $4500 TO GET A NEW MOTOR IN AND NOW LESS THAN A YEAR HAVE TO GET ANOTHER ONE. TOYOTA NEED TO DO A RECALL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL AND THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS. I AM SO PISSED I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO BURN ON A CAR!!!!!!!! TOYOTA POCKETS IS GETTING FATTER AND THE POOR IS GETTING POORER.

I HAVE MY CAR CHECKED UP AND OIL CHANGE ABOUT EVERY THREE MONTHS. (I HAVE PROOF AND RECORDS). I WAS ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF OIL SHORTLY AFTER OIL CHANGE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND TOYOTA HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY CAR BUT I NEVER REICIEVED ONE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER: 1608053089. MY ENGINE BLEW UP BEFORE IT COULD BE CHECKED. I JUST GOT MY CAR FIXED A FEW WEEK AGO MAYBE OCTOBER 1, 2016 BECAUSE IT TOOK ME THAT LONG TO BORROW MONEY AND SAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABLILTY AND MY INCOME IS LOW. ACCORDING TO THE NOTICE I READ ABOUT MY CAR THEY SAID IF YOU HAVE RECIPTS THEY MAY REIMBURSE YOU. I AM 65 YEARS OLD. I HARDLY DRIVE MUCH AND NOT LONG DISTANCES. AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT SPEED. 95,000 IS NOT ALOT FOR A TOYOTA ENGINE TO BLOW UP. I HAD TO BUY REUSED ENGINE BECAUSE A NEW ONE WAS EXTRODINARILY EXPENSIVE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR DAMAGES. I HAD TO WALK AND TAKE BUSES EVERYWHERE FROM JULY UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY IMMEDIDATELY TO FIX IT. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO AND WHO TO CONTACT. I AM VERY OVERWHEMED BY THE WHOLE ORDEAL AND I NEED TO PAY A LOAN AND FRIENDS BACK FOR THE REPAIRS.

RESPECTFULLY,

DONNA VARBLE

I am so sick of this car don't think I will ever buy another. The Dealership supposedly fixed the oil consumption but after they fixed that I started having more problems with my car. My car first went down on my way home from work on Christmas Eve got that fixed. Then in the middle of April it went down again with the engine problem. I am so damn disappointed with this car to I'm to the point I will never purchase one again. Although I love my car but when your upset and just sick of things happening at no fault of your own you get your car serviced properly and then this happens.

I religiously and on time had the oil changed with dealership I purchased my camry BRAND NEW. The motor blew suddenly while I was driving. It happened approximately a month after an oil change at the dealership.There were no warning lights. I called the dealership had it taken there and was told it was my fault. The only people that EVER touched the engine were the servicemen at the dealership. I only put gas in the car. Needless to say I will NEVER purchase another vehicle from Trotter Toyota in Pine Bluff, AR.

Another Toyota Quality Issue.

No help from Toyota because out of warranty. After failure I got a notice of the Engine warning light malfunction with extended warranty. Because of the catastrophic failure, they were unable to determine if it was related to the Warning light. .. My bad luck

This is how GM and Ford were in the late 60's and 70's. But the Japanese Manufacturers beat them...Now the Japanese need to worry about the Koreans.

Looks like the family will no longer be buying Toyotas.

My 2007 Toyota Camry with 33,000 miles on it left me stranded on the side of a busy highway. According to the mechanic the engine is burnt up and needs to be replaced. So far he diagnosed that the water pump went out. There was no warning light telling me the engine was hot. When the vehicle started smoking the temperature light went to cold and the battery light and the engine light appeared on the dash. I immediately pulled over and the highway patrol helped me. The car was towed 35 miles to a mechanic who also told me the oil was dangerously low. My husband checked the oil 1 week before this trip and added a quart to bring it up to par. Toyota has not responded. How does a water pump go out without warning on a car with 33,000 miles on it? The mechanic quoted me 4000.00 to fix with a motor that has 56,000 miles on it. After researching this car I'm not sure i want to fix it. LEMON

Purchased 2007 Toyota Camry in 2010. It continually burned through the oil. Just a couple of months after each oil change it would be nearly empty of oil and I had to constantly add more. Toyota did an oil consumption test and said that it was within normal oil consumption expectations. My check engine light came on and I have an a defective engine involving bad piston rings that has destroyed my engine. The cost estimate to repair is over over $5,000. Toyota denies responsibility for the defective engine design.

This vehicle burned oil from the day I bought it new. It was frequent and despite having service completed at the dealer for the first year there was no concern when I asked about this in the shop. The problem happened often enough that I carried oil with me in case I needed to fill up.

I kept an eye on it and found that the oil light would come on regularly as a warning if I'd neglected to check in a timely fashion. Driving home from a football game on a marginal length trip the engine blew...no warning lights and I'd checked the oil within the week....this is a very dissatisfying experience on what was my first Toyota.

I shopped Toyota because of the reputation they had for longevity and quality. I also have an auto-immune disorder that is very hard on me physically and I found that the Camry was very comfortable for my back. Much more than the similar models of Honda, Hyundai, Ford and Chevy at the time.

It seems I bought into the product just as the name was about to start losing some luster. Numerous problems with Toyota have been noted by me via the recalls and now I have my own experience. Interestingly it seems when I Googled for 2007 Toyota Camry engines it led me to this website where it is chronicled that burning oil is a common problem with this model Camry.

That there was no apparent concern from the dealer in the early days...to my education about it not being normal for oil to just disappear....to having my car sit for months because I can't afford the new engine...used engine but new to me....to finally saving up enough now....this has been a frustrating experience owning a Toyota.

It will definitely weigh on my decision when I finally purchase again regardless of how comfortable the Toyota may be for my health condition. The stress and inconvenience of having my car inoperable for 6 months has effectively negated the 6 years of more comfortable driving simply because these 6 months are in the what have you done for me lately time frame.

Well we bought the car brand new and have been maintaining it as suggested by manufacturer at the dealership. On the way to work on I95 the car made a noise like a clank and then suddenly there was smoke coming from the back and the under the hood. I pulled over and saw that it was smoking really bad. Then tried to continue and it was not driving right so I called a tow truck and towed it to the dealer where we get our oil changes. They looked at it and said it was the engine and we needed a new one. quoted a price of $7000. Said that it has a hole in it. I also just finished paying my car off. I thought Toyota's were great vehicles and lasted a long time. I have been maintaining it and keeping it serviced by the dealer. Now I am stuck with a huge bill and a messed up engine.

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 traveling 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.

Toyota Camry's are supposed to be wonderful long lasting cars, my family has owned several over the years. I have a manual drive Camry that I have been the only owner of. I was surprised that newer cars can go 5000 miles on a new oil change when I first got one and I was very diligent in making sure the oil changes were on time. During my almost 7 years of owning the car I noticed that as each oil change got closer the engine would knock like a car that had no oil in it waaaaay before I was due for an oil change. It got so bad that when I went to get an oil change the mechanic would routinely throw in a extra bottle of oil for me knowing that the car "eats oil".

I had one incident last summer where the car just shut off on me going up a hill and no fault of my shifting. I took it in to a mechanic and he just said that the car seems (once again to) "eat oil" quickly. Long story short, New York had some very bad snow and ice for a long period of time this Feb. My car was doing fine until I had to pull into a spot that had some snow and ice around it. (which I have done many times before in NY). When I was ready to pull out of the spot, the car got stuck in the ice (which has also happened before). My problem is, as my car was being pushed by human hands and I was gingerly pressing the gas, the car began knocking like it had no oil in it. So I stopped for that day, went to a auto zone to get some oil, put it in the engine and try again. The car would not move, and the knocking was worse. So I got it towed out of the spot, to a Pep Boys that refused to do work on it because they said the car had no oil in it, and they didn't want to be responsible, even thou I just put oil in it the day before.

Finally I got the car to an Aramco that told me I needed a new engine. HUH!. The warranty had just expired a month prior and they said a rebuilt one would be $4800 dollars! Now what! So as I moved the car from the Aramco to my friends house the engine completely went out. I just finished paying the car note and this is what I get? Help me. Thank you for the platform. smh.

Toyota was aware of this problem but blamed it on the gas pedal which they did replace in a recall. However, the problem seems to lie in using the cruise control which causes

the engine to race unexpectedly and blowing up the engine. I had a new engine put in

and was replaced under warranty, but Toyota would only give me a one year warranty

on the new engine. In order to get a 5 year warranty, I had to pay $1800. My "new"

engine is racing when I use cruise control so I'm extremely upset with Toyota. This was

my second Camry but I will never buy another Toyota again. They are nothing but Junk!
