Description of the problem	This is in regards to the class action lawsuit filed against toyota for the oil consumption for 2006-2011 vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine. I purchased my 2008 toyota camry se in february of 2008. In march of this year as i was driving the oil light kept going on and i had just had an oil change not long before this happened. I stopped to have my oil checked and found out that i had almost no oil in my engine. Put the oil in and it happened again. I began to research and found that toyota knowingly sold the vehicles with the piston defect. I called toyota and they told me they would not honor the repair due to the fact that it was over the 10 year anniversary date. The mileage was under 150,000 (112,000) and i was 2 months past the date and they will not honor the repairs to my vehicle. I have attached the oil consumption test invoice done by a toyota dealer and the letter sent to toyota. I can not afford to spend $3000 to $5000 to fix this problem. The car has also lost value and i could find myself in a dangerous situation if the engine fails. I need to know my options. Toyota should fix my car at no charge to me.
