The defective engine on my 2009 camry made me almost crash while driving on the highway. basically i had multiple misfires and lost the power in the middle of the highway risking the car behind me crashing into me. i have the 2.4l engine. this engine is notorious for burning oil due to faulty pistons, and even though a lot of people had this problem, toyota never issued a recall. my engine burns a lot of oil too not only risking my life by having multiple misfires, but it also ruins my catalytic converter and not to mention the cost of oil that i use to constantly top it of.

Excessive oil burning in engine . also causing blue smoke to come from exhaust when turning on car in the morning
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. while driving approximately 55 mph on the highway, the vehicle accelerated on its own at a high rate of speed. the contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. the gear was shifted into neutral as the rpms increased. the gear was shifted into park and the vehicle was turned off, but was unable to be restarted. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was engine failure due to nhtsa campaign numbers: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control) and 09v388000 (vehicle speed control). the previous owner did not have the recall repairs performed on the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to toyota world of newton (66 hampton house rd, newton, nj 07860, (973) 383-0200) and both recall repairs were performed. the vehicle was still at the dealer until the manufacturer determined if they would authorize the engine assembly replacement. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures and was to respond to the dealer and the owner. the approximate failure mileage was 158,000.
Burning oil too fast
I was not told by either toyota or toyota of tampa bay that there was an oil leak problem. i never received a notice in the mail. when i took my car in for service because of a burning smell, i was told to bring it back after driving for a 1,000 miles. i didn't - my error, but i wasn't told there was a warrenty or any kind of major issue. when i did go back, they ran the test again, telling me i'd get a new engine if there was a problem. when i did come back, the story changed to a rebuild engine. then, when the service rep came to tell me the issue, he said my car had the issue, but the warranty had expired. my car, a 2009, has 67,000 miles on it.
Timing chain broke without a y warning, caused major engine damage vehicle will be towed for scrap. toyota was unable to fix it without complete engine rebuild or replacement.
The engine of my car has been burning through oil so fast. the engine check light is on so i took it to the auto shop to get it checked out and the employee there told me to contact toyota since there was a recall on the 2009 camry engine. i called toyota place in garden grove and the person i spoke to said that they are unable to help me since recall has been expired and to call headquarters. however, i informed her that i never got a notice from toyota about this recall. i also informed her that i took my camry 2009 into the dealership in january 2018 to get the dashboard replaced from another recall but no one informed me about the engine recall during that time either. toyota had failed to notify me twice. toyota failed to send me a notice about the engine recall and they again failed to notify me when i brought in my car to get the dashboard fixed. so i contacted headquarters and the person on the other line told me the same thing that they can't help me since the time to bring in my car had expired and ...
Original owner of 2009 camry with 84k miles burned through so much oil between oil changes that the engine was over 3 qts low, restored oil level did not eliminate noises assessed to be rod slap due to excessive wear. i now expect the engine to die at any time with thrown rod.
Bought a used 09 camry. everything seemed fine until 2 months after driving the car we noticed it was burning through oil, 2.5+ qts per 1000 miles. did an oil consumption test and failed only to be told that they couldn't do anything because it's out of warranty (past the 10 yr mark). i don't understand why they'd even perform the oil consumption test knowing they couldn't help if it indeed failed because although it was out of warranty they explained that the oil consumption test is "warranty protocol" before any repairs are made... i called the headquarters office and spoke to 2 reps who both documented my issue and said, "we'll forward your complaint to our manager and create a case... i honestly believe we should take care of this", only to hear back from the manager who lead me on during the call by saying, "it's our job here at toyota to service customers in need. i'm familiar with your situation after reading your case notes. you did nothing wrong and weren't negligent. let me see what i can do to help you". then literally the next sentence the guy said, "i'm sorry, we can't help ...
All engine services were done always in toyotas center, now car is 154329 km(95,895miles) and i started to check oil by myself in the last year and i noticed excessive motor oil consumption. actually i need to add 1qt oil every 3 weeks (1 qt every 350 miles aproximately). the motor is not dripping the oil on the floor, so it must be going somewhere.
The car has burned oil from day one. the transmission will not downshift enough to hold motor back properly going down an incline. it won't hold back by transmission even if you down shift your self.
