2007 Toyota Camry Engine Problems

Engine—was told by dealership that we needed a new motor because of lack of oil in engine - had not seen oil drips or any smoking out of muffler. No lights on dashboard. Only been serviced by dealership. Told us; we needed to keep check and add oil as needed until we decided on a new motor or trade. Either is not a good option because of expense. We are probably going to bite the bullet and have to trade with not being able to get much out of trade because of this. The car is in very good condition, no wrecks and had hoped we were to get more mileage. We keep check and add oil. Know this is just a complaint, but am sure others had same problem.

I purchased my 2007 Toyota Camry brand new. Since early ownership, the vehicle has suffered from excessive engine oil consumption. Toyota acknowledged this issue and performed major engine repairs at a Toyota dealership, including replacing pistons and piston rings under their oil consumption program, but the defect continued. The vehicle continues to consume approximately 1.5 quarts of oil every 1–2 months. This defect affects engine reliability and long-term safety. Despite these repairs, the oil consumption problem was never resolved. I was instructed by Toyota to track the amount of oil I was forced to purchase and was told I would be reimbursed. I complied, but Toyota never reimbursed me. I have an extensive repair history with Toyota. A Toyota dealership technician informed me that my repair history is unusually extensive and described it as a “book” in Toyota’s system. The vehicle continues to consume excessive oil, requiring frequent top-offs that pose a risk of engine failure if not constantly monitored. Toyota has failed to permanently correct a known defect despite repeated repair attempts. I believe this is a widespread defect affecting 2007 Toyota Camry vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine and request NHTSA review this matter.

The problem that I have is the same as the one I years ago. There was a recall on 2007 Toyota Camrys for oil consumption. At the time I waws never getting the maintenance indicator because the engine would run low on oil before I needed an oil change. I am having the same problem again. The car is not leaking oil. It's consuming oil. I now must drive around with extra oil in the trunk in case the oil is low. I have been a Toyota owner since 1986. I have always thought of Toyota as being one of the most reliable cars on the road. I have taken the car to the dealer near me (Toyota South Morrow, GA). Of course they do not want to further investigate this problem further. But I am sure is the problem. My mechanic also agrees that this is likely the problem.? What component failed? Engine / Oil How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The car could stop at any time with engine failure, blown gaskets, etc. The problem is easily reproduce every oil change. Toyota Dealership has reviewed the problem. Now the consumption is so bad I have to check the oil every 2 weeks. The low oil indicator does not come on. Is there another recall possible if this first recall doesn't fix the problem permanently.

Vehicles dash board is melting. Produces a high shine effect that reflects sunlight into the front glass, effectively blinding the driver. Toyota has acknowledged this in a “warranty enhancement program” but will no longer repair the dashboard as the recall has “expired”. The warranty program had expired prior to me taking ownership of the vehicle. Engine burns oil due to piston assembly manufacturing errors. Toyota has acknowledged this in T-SB-0158-14 but will no longer repair the engine as the recall has “expired”. The recall had expired prior to me taking ownership of the vehicle.

UNKNOWN The engine simply started cluttering one day and gave in. The car has relatively low mileage. Toyota engines are expected to last > 200,000 miles

Excessive oil burn

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the oil pressure warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the oil level was extremely low. The contact stated that 2 to 3 quarts of engine oil were added to the vehicle.

Transmission downshifts and accelerates without pressing the pedal. At times difficulty pressing pedals and then abruptly accelerates. Also, downshifts and slows down without breaking making it dangerous on the highway. Happens all the time. Everyday. Reading all the complaints about transmission. Criminal!!! it has not been recalled.

My car burns oil excessively causing an increased risk for the engine to overheat and stall. This defect increases the risk of a crash and could lead to a fire. With research and by contacting a local Toyota dealership, I learned that this is a known defect of the 2AZFE engine. Specifically, the piston rings and the pistons are defective and known to cause excessive motor oil burning. Although Toyota has offered an extended warranty for this issue, I was informed by the local dealership that the extended warranty is no longer valid for my car because too much time has elapsed. I was never contacted to inform me of these defective engine components or that my car was given an extended warranty. The Toyota dealership states that they will only confirm this defect if we pay their mechanics for the inspection. Excessive oil consumption has been verified by our non-dealership mechanic. My car is available for further inspection.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that she noticed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact stated that oil needed to be added every 115 miles. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle had to be repaired out of pocket. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

MY CAR 2007 CAMRY LE BURNS OIL TOO MUCH. THERE'S NO OIL LEAKAGE ON THE MOTOR OR GROUND, AND IT DOESN'T SMOKE. I'VE CHANGED THE OIL A MONTH AGO, BUT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. HOW CAN IT PASS A SMOG CHECK, AND I'M SCARED MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT DUE TO THE ENGINE BURNS OIL MORE THAN A QUART IN 1000 MILES

My visors exploded in my face on two occasions while I was driving. My dash board is sticky and has a glare that makes visibility harder. An engine oil issue. All these recalls are expired through toyota and they are refusing to replace any of them.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL MY MOTOR THREW A ROD DUE TO LACK OF OIL. I HAD NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. NOT TO MENTION JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGED 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING

MY CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL WHILE DRIVING.

WELL WHEN I DRIVE IT LOSES POWER AND ALSO BUNS A LOT OF OIL AND GAS AND LATELY IT BEEN SHAKING A LOT WHEN I DRIVE IT I MADE A TUNAP TO IT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM

CAR IS BURNING 2+ QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, RESULTING IN 5 QUARTS BURNED OIL PER MONTH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CEASE, MAYBE DURING HIGH SPEED, RESULTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY COMING FROM THE AIRPORT GIVING A RIDE TO A FAMILY MEMBER AFTER ABOUT 7 MINUTES FROM THE TIME I STARTED DRIVING, THE CAR SHOWED ENGINE SIGN AND IN LESS THAT 5 MINUTES THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. I HAVE TRIED TO PULL IT TO A SAFE PLACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THEN IT STARTED SHOWING SMOKE IN THE HOOD.

CAMRY BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL AND NEEDS TOP UP AT FREQUENT INTERVALS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND ENGINE NEEDS FIX

IN 2015 I NOTICED I WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST, SO I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE PISTON RINGS (A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED), AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 2020, AND I'M BURNING THROUGH 2.5 QUARTS EVERY FILL-UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND 'CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE' WAS DETECTED ALONG WITH A BAD SPARK PLUG. I HAD TO SPEND AROUND $400 TO FIX A COIL AND SPARK PLUG BECAUSE THE 3RD CYLINDER HAD EXPANDED AND WAS SPILLING OVER. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME ADDING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1/2 TANK. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $2,000-$3,000 TO FIX. I'VE SEEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO BAD PISTON RINGS. I WAS FORCED TO GET A NEW CAR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THIS.
