Engine operates with excessive oil usage. Consumes/loses 1 quart of oil in 700 miles as of this filing date. I went to Toyota service center at 12/2011 at 82,700 miles and they said no problem - 1 quart usage per 1000 miles is normal. Also, door locks stopped working at 45,000 miles or so.

I noticed recently that I was having to add oil between 3K oil change. Since then I habe discovered online the tsb 0094-11. I ran a ck on the odometer after adding oil and yes it is right at 1200 miles. That would mean 2qts of oil added between 3000 mi. Oil change.

On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 RPM) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when A/C is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance. May be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but I am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?

The vehicle was taken to maplewood Toyota (2873 maplewood dr, maplewood, mn 55109 (651) 482-1322) prior to the failure and was informed that the vehicle failed an oil consumption test. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed the gasket and pistons replaced. The vehicle could not be repaired free of charge under Toyota's warranty enhancement due to the vehicle having a salvage title. The vehicle was not repaired.

I bought 2009 Toyota Camry from used dealer in Feb 2016. I had some other issues but not losing engine oil. On August 21st took the car for oil change and service adviser asked if my car lose oil. I said no. Then said well if you do lose oil then bring back and we will fix free of charge. Within few days engine oil warning light showed up, took to the same dealer and he said don't worry it will be fixed free. After 3 weeks no response from Toyota, called them and found out that they cant repair it free as engine is not original on the car. I said I have now idea as I bought used, plus I never had this before, they sabotage my car to create a work so get paid by the Toyota Corp. This is not fair Toyota having such reputation. Car has still Toyota Camry engine and driven miles 130K. If Toyota will not address the issue, there will be a compaign against Toyota from the first place as this car is no more reliable.

Problem description: My 2009 Toyota Camry is part of the ZE7- warranty enhancement program for excessive oil consumption. My car did not experience this issue until late November and when the car was at 142,500 miles. I contacted Toyota customer service and was advised that since the vehicle would be under 150,000 when the oil consumption test was initiated it still met the service guidelines. I took the vehicle to the dealership to initiate the test with the car still under 150,000 miles. Despite the dealer did the repairs, the oil excessive consumption still present. The car has diminished value due to this known issue and I have to either cover the repair cost or deal with the issue which includes constantly checking my oil to make sure it doesn't\'t run out and completely kill the engine. This is unacceptable. I would have never purchased this car had I known about this issue. Interested in class action?: yes

2 complaints: 1. when I depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where I have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, I pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. the Camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles I have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.

Excessive oil consumption

I purchased my car in May 2011 and within a few months, I noticed the oil burning faster than usual yet there were no leaks. This was my second Camry which my first I owned for 12 years (also owned a Scion so 3rd Toyota car purchased) and no issues so I knew this was not normal. I would take my car in for inspection and they couldn't find any leaks and told me it was normal. Finally after years of having to get constant oil changes and purchasing extra gallons of oil to refill every 1K miles or less, I got a letter from Toyota on March 2016 and after taking it in for the oil consumption test, my car failed miserably and it was added to the list. My car was fixed on January 2017 and was told I would get reimbursed for the oil that I had to add because of the defect. I submitted all receipts and documentation that they requested on March 2017 and they gave me the runaround for months. Although every single piece of proof was submitted, they would deny the requests. I kept calling and speaking to different reps, faxed/emailed documents as well as sent letters through certified mail. Finally on July 1, 2017, they decided to only pay $500 when the total out of pocket expenses since 2012 was $1,558.08. Their reasoning was that they were only paying for any extra oil used between March 2016 until January 2017. This is not ok because I started having issues in 2012 and the issue was found in 2011 yet they didn't notify me until March 2016. They should have honored what their original letter stated which was based on when my car started having issues. I submitted proof of receipts as well as invoices from Goodyear of when this started. They did not honor their agreement as they should have. I am very disappointed and they have lost a loyal Toyota customer.
