MY CAMRY IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL AND IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE NUMBER INCLUDED IN ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND, OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. THE FIRST CHECK UP OIL WAS ADDED BY THE TECHNICIAN (II WAS NOT TOLD HOW MUCH) AND I WAS ASKED TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO ADD OIL IF NEEDED. WHEN I RETURNED FOR THIS CHECK, UP, I LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN THE CHECK UPS. WHEN THE CSR RETURNED HE SAID WE WERE ALL SET. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED WAS "WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ". I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT! THEY SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE. I CAN HEAR THE TAPPING NOISES FROM THE PISTONS IN MY ENGINE ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OIL. MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND STARTS ACTING SLUGGISH ETC...THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE! I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. I HOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. OIL CHANGED ON TIME ALONG WITH ALL SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS ON THIS TOYOTA' ENGINE. BY 2011 THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I SEE THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN. IF ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR'S VALUE IS LOWER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP ADDING 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (@ $13 00 A QUART) AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AT THIS TIME.

MY DASHBOARD IS BECOMING A GOOEY MESS. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE EATING AWAY THE PLASTIC AND IF YOU TOUCH IT YOU'LL STICK TO IT LEAVING BEHIND AN INDENTION FOR LIFE. THE STICKY FILM HAS CAUSED A GLARE, FROM THE SUN, ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING ME TO HIT A CONCRETE BARRICADE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE VISIBLE. I HAD A CRASH WITH THIS CONCRETE AND IT TORE OFF PART OF THE FENDER AND HEADLIGHT. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BUT NOT THE FENDER. PLEASE FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD SO I CAN DRIVE MY GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND SOON.

ON 5/19/17 THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO NOT STAY IN THE RESTING POSITION. IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD ANYMORE EITHER. IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB FORUM WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTP://J.MP/2QU53VO HERE ARE LINKS TO THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTS OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND APPLICABLE VINS. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/ZTT-DLRLTR.PDF I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RESPONSE EMAIL FROM THEM AND CASE NUMBER. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INHIBITS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD.

IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)

HELLO. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO NEW CAMRYS, IN 2007 AND 2011. IN BOTH OF THEM THE SUNVISORS HAVE COME DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP IN POSITION. I PURCHASED A NEW SUN VISOR FOR THE 2007 CAMRY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT NOW BOTH OF MY SUNVISORS IN MY 2011 CAMRY ARE DOING THE SAME. I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2011, BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE 2007. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IN BOTH VEHICLES, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ALL WILL DO ABOUT THIS?

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN "CLOSED" POSITION. FLOPS/ FALLS DOWN AND SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY THROUGH WINDSHIELD. ONLY REMEDY IS TO EXTEND THE VISOR TOTALLY OPEN TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD, HOWEVER, THIS IS STILL A NUISANCE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE COMPLETELY REMOVED OR POSITIONED IN MANNER THAT IS NOT OBSTRUCTING VIEW. OTHER VEHICLES ARE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, NOT THE VIN FOR THIS 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I HAVE THIS JERKING MOVEMENT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA IN WILSON, NC WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT IT STILL DOES THAT TODAY. I USED 87 OCTANE GAS, BUT I DID PUT 89 OCTANE IN THERE ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY WORK DONE WITHIN THE WARRANTY, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY. SO ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO WEAR OFF? ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD ALL THESE RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF CONCERNING THE TIRES, THE OVERLOADING CAPACITY ISSUES.
