EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL USE. OIL BLOWS OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. THE BUILDUP FOR OIL RESIDUE AT THE TAIL PIPE MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE. WENT THROUGH THE LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM OR OIL USE. HAD THE LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE FOUND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW HERE WE ARE WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND A COMPLETE LACK OF TRUST IN THE CAR EITHER MECHANICALLY OR FOR SAFETY.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE VVT-I OIL HOSE RUPTURED. THIS FAULTY PART, WHICH TOYOTA NEGLECTED TO REPLACE WITH THEIR UPDATED ALL-METAL LINE UNDER THEIR TSB, WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE IT AND POSES A SERIOUS RISK FOR CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE, AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ENGINE OIL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO HOT ENGINE PARTS, AS WELL AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

SERVICE BRAKES
UNDER 15000 MILES UNDER CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. 2015 SE TRIM. BRAKE LIGHT AND "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPREARED ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND I PANICKED AND PUMPED MORE THAN ONCE. HEARD A "THUD" NOISE AND LO AND BEHOLD THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A MAINTAINENCE CODE (WITH THE SCANNER) AND THAT THEY ARE REPLACING "BRAKE BOOSTER". VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO LUCKILY I DONT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. HOW IS TOYOTA ABLE TO GET AWAY WITHOUT A RECALL OF FAULTY BRAKES? HOW MANY FOLKS WILL HAVE TO GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE AN ACTION IS TAKEN.

ENGINE
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?

MY TRUNK IS LEAKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE DURING HEAVY DOWNPOURS. I WENT TO GET OUR FABRIC SHOPPING BAGS FROM THE TRUNK AND THEY WERE SOAKED. THE CAR IS SMELLING MUSTY, NOT GREAT FOR MY SINUSES AND ASTHMA. HEADLIGHT SEAL IS ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER OR THE PLASTIC HAS BECOME POROUS. DURING A RECENT INSPECTION, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT PASS. WE PAID THE GAS STATION $32 TO CLEAN AND POLISH THE HEADLIGHTS TO PASS INSPECTION. THEY LOOKED GREAT AFTERWARDS AND PASSED INSPECTION. THEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE CAR WASH. NOW THE HEADLIGHT CASING IS CLOUDED AGAIN. I CAN SEE THE SOAP DRIPPINGS FROM THE CARWASH ON THE INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC. THE CAR IS PARKED ON THE STREET OR IN A DRIVEWAY, SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2007TOYOTA CAMRY DECEMBER 2016 AND EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT, IT HAS BEEN CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. IT WOULD BURN MY FULL TANK OF OIL AT AROUND 1K-1.2K MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I,'M AFRAID THAT THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO WRECKING THE MOTOR AND PROBABLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY SEARCHING FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF IN THE FIRST PLACE, THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS WOULD BE A RECALL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A CSP ( VTT) COVERING FAILING SUNVISOR HINGES ON CAMRYS FROM 2007-2011. MINE HAS FAILED. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER I AM TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 25000 TOO HIGH ( TRANSLATION WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THAT POINT. THEY HAVE NOT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED. AS AN ENGINEER I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROBLEM WAS BELIEVED TO BE SOLVED BUT WAS NOT. NO REAL NEED FOR A PHOTO TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION, THE HINGE THAT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO INSURE THAT THE VISOR STAYS WHERE YOU PLACED IT HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC AND NOW FLOPS USELESSLY AROUND. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE DESIRED POSITION

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED (65-70 MPH) IN TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, MY CAR LOST POWER (IT DID NOT CUT OFF--ONLY LOST POWER). AFTER WORKING MY WAY OFF OF THE INTERSTATE HWY., I WAS ABLE TO USE A CODE READER AND FOUND THAT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P2112 HAD BEEN SET (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK CLOSED). AFTER ERASING THE DTC THE CAR RAN OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE--ONCE ON 02/16/2017 (MILEAGE 75,465) AND A SECOND TIME ON 04/10/2017 (MILEAGE 75,829). FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN TOYOTA'S SERVICE MANUAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I CHECKED THE RESISTANCE OF THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND FOUND IT WAS WELL WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS--MEASURED 4 OHMS AND SPEC IS 0.3-100 OHMS). IN MY OPINION, LOSING POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
