ENGINE
WE WISH TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN OUR 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID AND WHICH FELL OUTSIDE THE CRITERIA FOR THE APPROPRIATE REMEDY WHICH IS TO REBUILD THE ENGINE ACCORDING TO TOYOTA TSB 0094-11 "2AZ-FE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION". IN THE TSB, IT IS NOTED 'SOME 2006 ' 2011 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE PISTON ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO MINIMIZE OIL CONSUMPTION.' WE HAD OUR 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID TESTED FEBRUARY 2015, WHICH WAS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (TRI COUNTY TOYOTA, LIMERICK PA), OUR CAR DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR AN ENGINE REBUILD WHICH IS 'CONSUMPTION OF MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL OVER 1200 MILES.' ACCORDING TO THIS CRITERION, AN ENGINE WHICH WAS BURNING 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (5,000 MILES) COULD MATHEMATICALLY FAIL THIS TEST BUT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. THAT IS THE SITUATION WE NOW FIND OURSELVES IN. OUR CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE BUT HAS NOW USED 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (5,000 MILES). IT IS NOT LEAKING THROUGH SEALS TO THE EXTERIOR, AND IS THEREFORE BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL, INDICATIVE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED TSM. WE THEREFORE REQUEST THAT TOYOTA REBUILD THE ENGINE OF OUR CAR, FREE OF CHARGE, WITH THE MODIFIED PISTON ASSEMBLY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

ENGINE
MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN BURNING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART OF OIL PER WEEK SINCE OCTOBER 2016. IT HAD 128000 MILES AT THAT TIME. IT NOW HAS 134500 MILES. I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES PER WEEK. I FEAR ENGINE PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SEIZURE. I HAD A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TEST DONE AT 129500, BUT THEIR VERDICT WAS THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NOT WITHIN THE REALM OF NEEDING REPAIR. THE ENGINE USED 3/4 QUART OF OIL OVER 1250 MILES, BUT THE TOYOTA GUIDELINE IS 1.1 QUART DURING THE TEST TIME PERIOD.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, ENGINE
MY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE NEEDED REPAIRS PER A TOYOTA MAJOR RECALL. I TOOK THE CAR AND AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW IT HAS BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE. AFTER BEING TOLD THAT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS ON A RECALL LIST, I WAS GIVEN A POSSIBLE REPAIR DATE OF WITHIN 10 MONTHS. I WAITED AND WAS GIVEN A DROP OFF DATE OF 1/23/2017. I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR AND WENT ON TO WORK. AFTER 5 DAYS I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY BUT, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS THAT WERE REMOVED/REPLACED TO DO THE WORK ON THE RECALL. I QUESTIONED WHY I WAS BEING CHARGED FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO PARTS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE LABOR DUE TO THE RECALL. I GOT FETCHED A LONG STORY FROM TOYOTAS 800 NUMBER AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT, GO PICK UP MY CAR AND PAY THE $269.54. I PICKED IT UP AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS DRIVEN 58 MILES, UPON LEAVING AND AS I GOT ON THE MAIN ROAD I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HUGE CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD AS WELL. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO [XXX] , HE WAS RUDE, A BULLY, AND ACCUSED ME OF LYING ABOUT THE DAMAGE. I BEGGED THEM TO PULL THEIR SECURITY TAPES WHICH THEY REFUSED. TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE ANY PARTS THAT SHOULD GET DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS AS THEY PERFORM THEIR REPAIRS. I'M ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DAMAGED WINDSHIELD. I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO THEIR STORE AND PREFER TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AT EITHER MY RESIDENCE OR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I'VE OWNED 3 TOYOTAS AND REFUSE TO GO BY AND PURCHASE MY NEXT CAR FROM [XXX]. I REALIZE THAT I AM A SINGLE CUSTOMER HOWEVER; I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY. I'VE NEVER TRIED TO ABUSE MY CAR AND I KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. IN MY OPINION [XXX] SHOULD BE RETRAINED. HIS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM IS GOING TO COST YOU GUYS THOUSANDS AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE VALUABLE CUSTOMERS IF YOU CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
