EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. BURNS 1 QUART WITHIN 1,500 OF MILLAGE USE. MY CURRENT CAR MILLAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS SHOWN THROUGH LARGE PUFFS OF BLACK SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST, UPON IGNITION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A "NORMAL" SITUATION. THIS ISSUE MAY LEAD TO A HIGHER AMOUNT OIL PURCHASES AND SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE; IT IS VERY COSTLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL, IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL, IT IS BURNING OIL ABNORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS FINE AND BURNING OIL AS IT SHOULD FOR AGE OF THE CAR. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME DIFFERENT. HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HOW IT IS BURNING THE OIL SO QUICKLY.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. ONLY 1 LITER OF ENGINE OIL CAME OUT DURING MY LAST ENGINE OIL CHANGE AT 65,000 MILES EVEN AFTER I PUT IN A LITER AT 64,500 MILES BECAUSE THE RED LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK TO SEE THAT ALMOST NO ENGINE OIL WAS IN MY CAR. I'M CURRENTLY AT 67,000 MILES AND THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, SO I ADDED ONE MORE LITER OF ENGINE OIL AFTER CHECKING THE DIPSTICK AND PRACTICALLY NOTHING REGISTERED. I NEED TO GET IT FIXED, BUT THE TOYOTA DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR/VIN, SO I CAN'T GET THE NECESSARY PARTS EVEN IF THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK. I CALLED THE 1-888-270-9371 TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE'S NOTHING SHE COULD DO. WOULD LIKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY ENGINE BLOWS UP.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L WHILE STATIONED IN GERMANY, IT WAS MANUFACTURED TO US SPECIFICATIONS AND I BROUGHT IT STATESIDE WITH ME. I RAN MY VIN IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE TO FIND OUT IF THE AIR BAG OR "STICKY" DASH BOARD RECALLS APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. MY VIN DID NOT REGISTER IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY RAN MY VIN, THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT VISIBLE IN THEIR DATABASE. THE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN, I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA IN JAPAN OR GERMANY FOR RECALL INFORMATION AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE US. DOES TOYOTA NOT HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED PROPERLY AND WITH QUALITY MATERIALS TO ENSURE ITS SAFE OPERATION?

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. DURING MY LAST REGULAR OIL CHANGE, THE DIP STICK WAS DRY. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND HE ASSURED ME IT WAS. I BEGAN GOOGLING THE ISSUE AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. IT IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE.
