2007 Toyota Camry Engine

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.

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.

Excessive engine oil consumption. Penske Toyota of Downey would Not fix my car when I took it in. I received a letter from Corporate Toyota. I also received a letter on the sticky dash board. They replaced the dash board but, they would Not fixed my engine problem. I took their word for it and now I have to check my oil often and keep oil in my trunk. I never get an oil warning light. I just have to make sure by checking it often. Penske refused to fix my car, they told me it was normal for my car to lose oil. I was made aware of both problems back to back by Corporate Toyota but Penske said no. No problem here according to them. So… the problem just got worst and worst over time.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated and there was black exhaust smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had experienced excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

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.

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

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.

In 2019, one of the Value Springs broke in the engine of 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with 3.5L V6 engine which required the engine to be replaced. The engine had just over 100k miles on it. I am reporting this because I found out that there was a recall on 2005-2008 Lexus vehicle with 3.5L V6 engines.

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.

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.
