| Description of the problem | The car maintenance has been kept up per the manufacturer and always taken to the toyota dealer. The car was making a loud unusual noise from the engine; took it to toyota and the oil stick was completely dry. This was after just having a routine oil change about a month earlier. About 1,000 to 1,200 miles later, the same thing, no oil on the dip stick. Interestingly, there is no oil leak in the driveway either. The service adviser explained they don't know what it could be and there was no recall on the 2010 camry for this type issue. They topped off the oil again and said to come back at the 1,000 mile mark to have it checked again and to check it weekly as well. Made it to about 800 miles and again no oil. This is very frustrating as toyota corporation got to know that this is a manufacturer defect and need to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before someone gets seriously hurt driving a car with no oil since the oil light never comes on either as a warning. Lastly, the adviser did say it may be something with the engine that would cost us upward of $5k to $6k. |
