| Description of the problem | My 2009 camry started burning excessive oil i am guessing at about 85,000 (toyota definitely has record of it). I told them about it at my service appointment and they put the dye in and checked for oil leaks. All was fine. Since it just happened once i decided that maybe it was a fluke. Nope. Same thing happened so my next service appointment i mentioned it again. They told me i would either need a new engine or i would just have to put up with it and make sure there was always enough oil. It wasn't too bad at the time because it would only happen every 2,500 or so. Now it is happening every 1,000 miles, and i looked online and could not believe how many complaints there are for the same thing, and the fact that there is no recall!!! Can you help get them to fix it since there are soooo many complaints on the exact same subject? |
