| Description of the problem | 2007 camry xle v6, this is my second car (lemon law replaced first camry at 300 miles new) and 4th transmission, all covered by toyota. Last week all oil drained from vehicle while driving.. Oil spewed from underneath vehicle for miles. My girlfriend called me at work, asked me to check my car as she saw my trail of oil for 1/4 mile.. Took car to my mechanic, found a rubber hose, a clamp on each end about 6 inches long, the clamps and hose had to be replaced, because oil spewed out of this part. If my girlfriend hadn't called me, my engine would have seized. As when i checked it at work a puddle of oil was under vehicle, and the dip stick showed no oil in vehicle. What if i was on vacation or traveling out of state, my car engine would have been destroyed. Engine would have seized due to no oil in engine. Big problem................................................ |
