My camry passed the oil consumption test in march 2015 at rick hendrick toyota, sandy springs georgia. i informed the technician that it should of failed because i was adding oil between maintenance visits. in december 2019 my car is burning oil faster than ever. the dealership (rick hendrick toyota in sandy springs georgia ) administered another oil consumption test. i am still doing the test. however, the manager told me the recall has expired and i am responsible for any repairs or engine replacement. i am the first and only owner of this vehicle, it has 145,000 miles. i should not be responsible for the manufacturers defect and possible oversight of toyota certified technicians.

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.
As i was driving, all of the lights (oil, brake, abs, check engine) all of it came on at the same time and made a noise and the car shut down , while i was driving. i am a college student with a commute, and thank god i was near a neighborhood to pull over immediately. i tried waiting 10 minute to restart, and it would not even start because the whole thing was dead and the lights were on. this nearly killed me.
