| Description of the problem | 2007 camry se burning oil on engine. Dealer advised i would need a new engine at a cost of $7200 to replace. Dealer advised to check oil every 1000 mile. Although i don't see oil leaks, i am having to add oil every 1000 miles. Dealer's service tech attributed it to not getting the oil changes, however, i have service records to prove otherwise as dealer maintained by 3 toyota dearlers. With 115k miles and still making payments, dealer advised new engine, gasket and seals would correct the problem. I am learning of other 07 camry owners with same problem. |
