The vehicle is burning excessive engine oil. i received the paper from toyota three months ago that they are processing to build the part for the solution of burning excessive oil.(the paper does show about the reacall of excessive engine oil burning they said i will receive the letter in two months to fix the problem from the dealership since then i have not received any letter for the recall.) thanks
Excessive oil consumption i own a 2008 toyota camry le the currant mileage is 149,000 miles. it burns one quart of oil every 250 miles, and it's costing me a lot of a money. this problem is not only from me their are much more people complaining online. in addition to that their is lawsuit against toyota because of excessive oil consumption. the government needs to take action and make this a recall for all vehicles that are affected. i also feel very sorry for the other owners because i know how it feels, so please help. thanks
When stationary at traffic light or stop sign. when a/c is turned on and brake pedal is depressed the entire car is drastically shaking an vibrating beyond controllability. when gear is in neutral the heavy vibration is gone away. was told by service manager that this is an normal behavior of all cars past 40,000 miles. was told that i would have to let the vehicle learn my driving habits again since the new throttle body component was installed. once the unit was installed correctly again engine lights kept coming on thus returning back to the dealership. took 3 attempts to complete the engine lite issue but the violent shaking and vibration is still going on. *tr
I have always had abnormal engine oil consumption such that i have had to add quarts of oil after 2,000-4,000 driving mileage which has been always far behind oil-filter replacement services at 5,000 miles. my wife's toyota corolla does not have this consumption issue at all even though it is one year older. ultimately, in 2016, i took my camry to a toyota center and they suggested to run an engine oil consumption test (which toyota had offered in a recall due to a manufacturing problem in the engine -- either in pistons or rings, or both). i accepted to run the test, and after the test, the technician confirmed that the test did not show significant engine oil consumption, and they did not fix my car. this engine oil consumption problem is a toyota manufacturing fault and must be fixed as soon as possible by toyota at any time without any deadline. toyota announced 2008 camrys have this problem, and the problem is there in all 2008 camry cars not only in diagnosed cars. technicians may make mistakes in running the test; however, the manufactured pieces (piston and/or ring in my case) are all faulty in all 2008 camrys. requesting to run a test is not reasonable at all for a car type that is legitimately proven by the manufacturer or numerous customers to possess a faulty piece or pieces. i called the toyota customer services north america during the past several days (february 24 and 26, 2018) and talked to several ranking customer services agents up to a supervisor. all of them failed to resolve my issue as i requested them to fix my car manufacturing problem at toyota expense. all in all, i strongly urge toyota to fix this issue timelessly before people fall into bigger and far more serious troubles of losing the car engines (and consequent safety issues) and filing numerous lawsuits against toyota.
2008 toyota camry, purchased new in december 2007. first oil change done at 2500 miles, at which time switch was made to mobil 1 5-20w synthetic. oil changes done since then at approx every 5500-6500 miles. noticed early july 2012 when doing routine oil check it was almost a quart low. this was the first time ever noticing any oil consumption between oil changes. no oil noted around exhaust pipe, no oil leaks apparent in engine or on garage floor. late july, after oil change at 76,220 mi, until the next oil change approx 1.5 qts of oil were added. at that next oil change late nov 2012 (81,788mi) it was still almost a quart low. oil consumption does not seem to occur at all until after first 2500 mi are driven on new oil. also seems to have slowed some during the winter months: only added 1 qt from late nov until recently changed on 3/23/13 at 87,500 mi. at this time it was again almost a quart low at oil change. yesterday, with a little less than 3000 mi on the car since the last oil change (on 3/23/13, 87,500 mi) i added half a quart of oil. we have 2 other, but older, different model toyotas and neither uses oil. *tr
I was driving my toyota camry home from work, when my engine starting smoking and all the engine light came on. i had it towed to a dealership to be checked out and was told that my water pump had froze up, causing my motor and everything under the hood to be burn up. my heat indicator light didn't not come on at anytime. if i had known there was a problem with the pump would have had the car checked out. i was told my toyota that it was not their problem. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. the contact stated that the check engine and low oil warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle consumed .9 quarts of oil every 1,200 miles. the manufacturer dispatched an engineer who was unable to diagnose the failure. the manufacturer stated that while the failure was undesirable, it was not happening at a dangerous rate. the failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 64,000. *tr
2008 camry burns oil. noticed it in dec 2011 and dealer informed that i need to bring it in and pay for diagnostics as it was out of warranty. didn't notice it for a while and now again the same problem and my car was totally out of oil 2200 miles after an oil change. all oil changes were done at toyota dealer and they informed me that everything was fine with the car. spoke to toyota customer service and they said that i need to pay for diagnostics at a dealership and pay for any expenses to fix the issue. *tr
My brakes needed replacing at approx. 40-44k miles. my belts/water pump broke/cracked at approx 50k miles. the mechanic said the water pump, if it ever broke at all, shouldn't break till min. 100k miles. i am about to take the camry to a mechanic to check engine racing and grinding front passenger side window motor. this car has been a money pit with awful visibility. i've spent many thousands on this car before it reach 50k miles. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. the contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. the contact stated that the brake calipers malfunctioned due to the sudden acceleration. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer to have the brake calipers repaired. after the brake calipers were repaired the vehicle continued to accelerate without warning. the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer for a diagnostic test. the dealer could not duplicate the acceleration issue. in addition, the engine completely failed due to a fracture in the water pump, also causing all of the electric components to malfunction. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 65,000.

When i first used air conditioning on vehicle, noticed rough idling. it was so bad the car would sometimes shudder and shake. i called local dealer and they told me it was normal for the car to behave this way when air conditioner was running at idle. the car is now 5 1/2 years old with 39,000 miles on it and still does the same thing. i had it in to dealer within the last year with another recall and i talked to service advisor about it. he said he also had a 2008 camry and it did the same thing. it was the way the engine was set up when manufactured and could not be changed. i have owned two other camrys and still have a 99 model with 125,000 miles on it and neither had that kind of problem. i find it difficult to believe that the car or any car would have been designed to idle the way this car does. this seems to me to be a safety issue since if you are in heavy traffic and you are stopping and starting and the weather is hot and you have your air conditioning running and the car is shuddering and shaking and you are trying to get out of the way of traffic and you are afraid the car is not going to accelerate the way it should. *tr
The engine consumes 1 quart of oil every 1200 miles. toyota says this is acceptable but 25% of oil loss is way too much. if i wait till the maintenance of 3000 miles, almost 75% of the oil will be gone and would cause damage to the car. *tr
The 2008 toyota camry se has a oil consumption problem, toyota has known about this issues since their 2007 camry models and continued their deception through the 2009 camry models. i've had my vehicle tested twice by the local dealer only to be misled. my vehicle has been loosing oil since the first months of parches. toyota has been concealing the oil consumption issue from the owners of these vehicles.
