| Description of the problem | Hi, i purchased a brand new 2007 toyota camry in february of 2007. Fast forward 5 years and 114k miles and my car won't keep oil in it. No leaks, the car burns oil! I called a friend who is actually a toyota technician and he said oil burning in the 2007 camrys is a known issue. A google search prooves it. There are tons of posts from angry, once loyal toyota owners about this same problem. Toyota is very aware of the issue but they say it is "normal" for their cars to burn a quart every 600 miles so when you take your car to the dealership, they say there is nothing they can do, you should just keep putting oil in the car. Writing in to corporate doesn't help either. Someone needs to call toyota out on this!!! None of us know what to do to get this fixed or to make toyota take responsibility. Any help or advise you could provide would be most helpful! *js |
