ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ONGOING ISSUE THE CAR BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY. I HAVE TO ADD OIL BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE IS SCHEDULED (EVERY 3000 MILES). THERE IS BLACK SOOT BUILDUP IN THE GAS TANK DOOR AROUND THE CAP. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS AWHILE, JUST NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I MET A FELLOW CAMRY OWNER WHO'S 2009 CAMRY WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. THE BLACK SOOT HAS BEEN THERE BASICALLY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING (2007), IT STARTED NOTICEABLY BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 130000 MILES, THE CAR IS NOW AT ABOUT 163000

IN DEEP WHITE SANDS DESERT CAR KEYS LOCKED INSIDE THE TRUNK. AFTER OPTING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR USING THE HANGER ANCHOR METHOD WHOLE CAR COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WENT DOWN AND THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THEN TRUNK FROM INSIDE THE CAR. 2018 CAMRY HAS NO LEVER ANY PULL-DOWN SEATS TO OPEN THE TRUNK. PARK RANGER TOOK ME TO THE NEAREST TOWN TOYOTA DEALERSHIP(DESERT SUN TOYOTA,3333 N WHITE SANDS BLVD, ALAMOGORDO, NM 88310), THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO CUT THE NEW LASER KEY THEY WERE NOT EVEN AWARE 2018 YOU CAN'T OPEN THE TRUNK BY A LEVER OR PULLING DOWN SEATS. IT WAS COLD AND DARK AND FAMILY WITH KIDS SITTING IN THE DUNES ALONE WHILE I WAS WORKING WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW KEYS. AFTER DOING ALL BRAINSTORMING THE LAST SOLUTION CAME TO ME WAS MAKE A HOLE BEHIND NUMBER PLATE TO OPEN THE TRUNK LATCH. A GOOD MAN AGREED TO COME TO THE PARK AND OPEN THE TRUNK BY DRILLING THE HOLE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY FAMILY SAFE. AFTER REACHING DALLAS (MY HOME) I SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA CEO JAMES ABOUT THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND HIS OFFICE CALLED ME AFTER THE EMAIL BUT NOT ACCEPTING THIS AS A DEFECT AND DENIED TO HELP ME TO FIX MY HOLEY CAR. THE 6 HRS I SPENT WITH FAMILY TO JUST OPEN THE TRUNK IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE 2018 CAMRY. THIS IS VERY COMMON TO LOSE KEYS WHILE TAKING STUFF OUT OF THE TRUNK. IF THE HAPPENS ON NOWHERE LANDS AND NO CELL PHONE SIGNALS THEN IT IS DANGEROUS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
CAR PARKED, ENGINE OFF, WHILE CHECKING FLUIDS, THE HOOD SUPPORT LINKS FAILED AND THE HOOD HIT ME IN THE HEAD. VIA TELEPHONE, TOYOTA REP @ HEADQUARTERS SAID THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL BLAH BLAH BLAH. UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING 9 YEARS OLD, THESE PARTS ARE NEVER USED AND SHOULD FUNCTION. HOW OFTEN IS THE HOOD OPENED? VERY RARELY. FAULTY DESIGN PERHAPS OR MY IGNORANCE? THANK YOU.

WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AT LOW SPEED, NORMALLY BETWEEN 30-50MPH MY CAR VIBRATES OR SHUDDERS. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN I'M TRYING TO MAINTAIN THOSE LOWER SPEEDS, SO THE PEDAL IS JUST BARELY BEING PRESSED DOWN. ONCE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY ABOVE 50MPH I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES.

ENGINE
PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME 10/2016. LAST TWO YEARS OIL CONSUMPTION IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES HAS REACHED PUTTING 4 TO 10 QUARTS OF OIL IN THIS CAR. RECENTLY HAD GASKETS, RADIATOR, COIL AND SPARKS CHANGED (10/2019). I NOW AS OF THIS DAY (12/21/2019) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (ENGINE FAILURE). GASKETS HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE VSC CAME ON. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO EVERY ONE INCLUDING WHERE I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM. IT APPEARS I HAVE NO RIGHTS REGARDING TOYOTA AND DRIVE TIME AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. I KNOW THIS CANNOT BE THE CASE. WHO IS HOLDING THESE ENTITIES ACCOUNTABLE?. THIS CAR HAS STOPPED AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR REGARDING THIS ENGINE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THIS CORRECTED. THIS IS A DEFECT ON TOYOTA'S PART AND DRIVE TIME FOR THE SALE OF THIS CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS WHICH I KNOW I HAVE. DOING RESEARCH THERE WAS NO RECALL. WHY NOT. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
