SUSPENSION
AT 70K MLS VEHICLE WAS LOOSING PRECISE STEERING AND EXPERIENCED SOME "BOUNCING" ON UNEVEN SURFACES DUE TO ALL 4 STRUTS LEAKING ESPECIALLY THE FRONT ONES. DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 (11/25/14) AND 30K LATER (05/20/20015) TWO FRONT ONES SHOWED THE LEAK AGAIN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH CASES THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OEM ONES. I OPENED CASE WITH TOYOTA (1605180624) AND WAS TOLD THAT SUCH ISSUE WAS NORMAL AND IT WAS NOTHING THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

ENGINE
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAR HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I TOOK IT TO PERRYVILLE TIRE TO HAVE OIL CHECKED--WAS TOLD I HAD NONE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT PASSED AFTER THEY ADDED 1 QUART OF OIL AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS--I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NONE BURNED OIL AT THIS RATE. NORMAL--BAH, HUMBUG. I DO HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERS UP TO 100,000 MILES. I DO BELIEVE TOYOTA IS TRYING TO RUN OUT THE WARRANTY.

ENGINE
I TRULY LOVED MY HYBRID CAMRY UNTIL JUNE OF 2015 WHEN MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY OIL WAS LOW SHORTLY AFTER HAVING MY OIL CHANGED. I CONTACTED MY MECHANIC AND HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A BULLETIN REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. I BEGAN TO HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL ONCE A WEEK AND HAD TO ADD 1-2 QUARTS PER WEEK. IN LATE 2015, TOYOTA SENT OUT A NOTICE REGARDING THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND OFFERED OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. I HAD MY CAR TESTED AND OF COURSE, MY CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL. I WAS NOTIFIED ON 1-13-16 THAT MY CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL AND THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR REPAIRS. I CONTINUED TO CHECK AND ADD OIL TO MY CAR. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS ARE PROJECTED TO BE AVAILABLE IN SEPT. 2016. IN MID AUGUST, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO GET MY CAR TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC AS IT WAS RUNNING POORLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE CODES SHOWED THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING AND THERE PROBLEMS WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THESE PROBLEMS WERE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THAT THE CAR IS NOT OPERATIONAL AND SUGGESTED WE CONTACT TOYOTA. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED CORPORATE TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN REPLACING THE PISTONS AND RINGS. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I COMMUTE TO WORK, I AM NOW WITHOUT MY VEHICLE (WHICH I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS TO TOYOTA), STILL WAITING ON PARTS FOR REPAIR (TOYOTA TELLS ME TO BE PATIENT, REALLY???), FACING CHARGES TO TOW MY CAR APPROX. 40 MILES TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ONCE PARTS AVAILABLE, AND PAYING APPROX. $1000 TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS BEFORE MY CAR WILL BE OPERATIONAL. I AM COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA FOR TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE RELATED ISSUES AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN TO ADDRESS AND SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS (STILL WAITING). WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE.

ENGINE
EVERY TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3000 MILES SOMETIMES EVEN A LITTLE EARLIER), I AM TOLD MY OIL IS LOW OR DIRTY OR BOTH. THIS LAST TIME I TOOK IT I WAS TOLD I WAS LOW TWO QUARTS OF OIL AND I DIDN'T EVEN HIT 3,000 MILES YET. I WAS TOLD NEXT TIME IF IT WAS LOW I MIGHT HAVE TO DO A COMPLETE ENGINE FLUSH. I DECIDED TO GET A FEW MORE OPINIONS BEFORE GOING FORWARD WITH ANY WORK. I WAS TOLD BY A MAN AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, THAT IT SOUNDED SIMILAR TO AN ISSUE ANOTHER PERSON HE KNOWS HAD WHICH ENDED UP BEING A RECALL FOR THAT PERSONS CAR. I WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP I GOT MY CAR FROM AND CHECK WITH THEM FOR A RECALL. I CALLED AND RECEIVED NEWS THAT THERE WAS A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK IT IN TO GET THE FIRST STEP OF THE TEST DONE WHICH CONSISTED OF MAKING SURE THERE WASN'T AN OIL LEAK AND SINCE THERE WASN'T THEY TOPPED OFF MY OIL THEN APPLIED MARKERS TO MY DIP STICK AND OTHER PLACES SO THEY CAN MEASURE HOW MUCH MY OIL WENT DOWN AFTER ONLY 1200 MILES. WHEN I RETURNED AFTER THE 1200 MILES THEY CHECKED THE LEVELS AGAIN AND SAW OBVIOUSLY MY ENGINE BURNED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL SINCE THEY LAST CHECKED IT. THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL BACK INTO MY CAR WHEN I RETURNED AND SINCE IT WAS LITTLE ABOVE FULL AFTER THEY ADDED THE QUART, THEY SAID MY CAR PASSED THE TEST AND THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR BURNED OIL IT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DO ANY WORK TO MY CAR. BASICALLY TELLING ME THAT ITS $5,000 TO FIX AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL IN TOYOTAS TO CONSUME EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I BOUGHT MY CAR CERTIFIED USED FROM THE CERRITOS AUTO SQUARE AUTONATION LOT. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY TURNED ME AWAY WITHOUT EVEN SUGGESTING OTHER WAYS FOR ME TO GET BETTER OIL CONSUMPTION OR ANY OTHER HELP FOR THAT MATTER. I WAS TOLD I CAN DO THE TEST ONE MORE TIME AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHICH I ALSO FOUND STRANGE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I NOTICED THE SUN VISOR STARTING TO SAG A BIT WHEN I PUT IT UP TO USE IT OR WHEN I CLOSED IT. IT HAD DONE THIS FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED USING IT, IT FELL DOWN AND WOULDNT GO BACK UP INTO POSITION TO USE IT OR TO STORE IT AWAY. IT WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION AND WITH THE SUN FACING ME FACE THAT TOO WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS BUT MY VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY AFFECTED.

MY CAR WAS TESTED AND QUALIFIED FOR AN ENGINE INTERNAL REBUILD DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND THE PARTS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN DELIVERED TO THE DEALER. MEANWHILE I HAVE TO FILL UP THE OIL 3+ TIMES IN-BETWEEN EVERY OIL CHANGE WHICH IS COSTING ME THE EQUIVALENT OF AN ADDITIONAL OIL CHANGE FOR EVERY OIL CHANGE (APPROXIMATELY $30 EXTRA EVERY OIL CHANGE).

THE ABS LIGHT AND THE RED BOLD BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OFF AND THE NEXT DAY THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK, AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY - AUGUST 18, 2016, POWER STEERING WENT ON AND OFF WHEN TURNING. SEEMED TO BE THE POWER STEERING - MADE IT HARD TO TURN THE WHEELS. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY STRAIGHT AHEAD WAS FINE. ON CITY STREETS AND PARKING THE ISSUE WAS VERY NOTICEABLE AND FRIGHTENING SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD CONTROL MY MOVING VEHICLE. . IN CHECKING TO SEE WHERE TO GET REPAIR DONE, I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING ON THE 2004 CAMRY. CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIN NUMBER HAS NO RECALLS.
