Description of the problem	On dec. 27, 2018 while driving on the expressway i heard a severe/loud knocking noise in front of my vehicle that i had never heard before. I could still drive however the vehicle had slowed down and began shaking. I hurried off the expressway. I decided to to go to the toyota dealership the street way as i was in that area. At that time i was advised that internal engine damage had occurred and the engine will have to be replaced, nothing further. The estimated cost would be $10,435. I had the vehicle towed to my home. They later indicated via email that my case would be filed with toyota motor sales u. S. A. Inc. Under file#[xxx]. Why does a 2008 camry ce with 60,896 miles breakdown without warning. I decided to research the matter. I found out that toyota had a oil consumption defect class action lawsuit in 2014, one of many, indicating 2006-2011 model year vehicles (including camry) had defective engines that burn excessive amounts of oil which can cause engine failure in a moving vehicle. Further, toyota was aware of the design defect, but still manufactured and sold their vehicles without warning consumers. They also failed to warn drivers that this defect would create serious safety issues. I contacted toyota with this information to no avail. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *tt

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
