THE LOW OIL INDICATOR CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. I CHECKED THE OIL AND I WAS OVER 3 QUARTS LOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DISMISSED IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS 3+ QUARTS LOW. I ASKED WHY IT GETS SO LOW BEFORE A LIGHT TURNS ON. THEY DIDN'T KNOW, BUT TOLD ME THERE WAS A NATIONAL REPAIR PROGRAM BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE PROGRAM HAD JUST CLOSED AND I DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY FOLLOW UP WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILES ON THE CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER MY CAR FOR ANY REPAIR. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH LOW OIL BECAUSE THE INDICATOR DOES NOT WARN ME UNTIL THERE IS BARELY ANY OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. I DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CHECK MY OIL WEEKLY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE LEVELS UP AND PREVENT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. I AM CONCERNED I WILL HAVE A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AT ANY TIME BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSAL BY TOYOTA TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THIS CAR TO SOME UNSUSPECTING BUYER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE CAR AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I AM IN SCHOOL. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. AT ANY TIME THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE UP AND WITH THE CAR BEING A HYBRID AND A UTILIZING A SPECIALTY TRANSMISSION, WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT SAFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REPAIR ALL OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE 2012 HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED IN TO MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT EVEN REGISTERED WITH TOYOTA. I FIND THAT DISTURBING BECAUSE I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES IN THE PAST. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I EVEN HAVE NOTICES FROM TOYOTA TO PROVE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES IN THE PAST. WHEN I CALLED IN JACKIE THE SPECIALIST SAID I WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND HAD TO BE REGISTERED. NOW I'M STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND FEEL THAT THIS SO UNFAIR.

ENGINE
THE CAR HAS A VERY QUICK OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL HAS TO BE EITHER ADDED OR CHANGED BEFORE THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN REACHED. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING SLUGGISH AND HAS BEGIN TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY SHAKING. THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY PLACE NOR TIME AS IT DOES IT AT ANY POINT AND TIME WHEN THE OIL HAS REDUCED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MULTI TIMES HOWEVER THE LAST ATTEMPT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHERE MY COMPLAINT WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. MY INFORMATION WAS TAKEN AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM AND THE INFORMATION LISTED WAS UNDER THE NAME [XXX] WHICH WAS CORRECTED TO MY INFO AT THAT TIME WHICH WAS ONE WEEK AND TWO DAYS FROM TODAY. I TRULY THINK IT IS UNFAIR TO ME THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS AND WHEN I CALLED WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEATS
I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE MAY 2016 AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UNTIL THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AND STARTED IT UP AND THEN TURNED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEATED LEATHER SEAT. THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE SEAT SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF. THE SEAT HAD BEEN TURNED ON 1 MINUTE OR LESS. I STORE MY CAR IN MY GARAGE AT ALL TIMES AND THERE IS NOTHING UNDER MY SEAT THAT COULD BE KEEPING THE WARMER FROM WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVEN'T NOTICED THAT SMELL WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.

SUSPENSION
STRUTS LEAKED AT 50K. TOYOTA REFUSED AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR STRUTS TO LEAK, DEALERSHIP TREATED ME RUDELY THOUGH I WAS INFORMED BY TWO MECHANICS TO HAVE THEM FIX THE ISSUE. CALLED CUSTOMER CARE AND REQUESTED THEY STEP IN, ALL 4 STRUTS ARE BROKEN, THEY OFFERED TO FIX TWO. I PURCHASED THE TOP OF THE LINE EXTENDED CARE WARRANTY, STILL NO RESOLVE. THE CAR WAS IN THE TOYOTA DEALER 12 DAYS BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH NO MENTION OF THIS, A LOAD OF OTHER ISSUES NONE FIXED. TWO WEEKS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED IT NEEDS NEW FRONT STRUTS. I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES LAST YEAR AND THEY CANT BE ROTATED DUE TO WEAR FROM BAD STRUTS. I NEED ANOTHER SET OF TIRES TO STOP THE SHAKING THOUGH WAS INFORMED ONLY STRUTS WILL SAVE ME FROM BUYING ANOTHER SET IN 12 MONTHS. HELP RECALL THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I WILL HAPPILY RELEASE ALL TOYOTA RECORDS ....
