2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION STARTED IN 2016 & IT IS GETTING WORSE. ADDING A BOTTLE OF ENGINE OIL TWICE A MONTH. MY CAR ONLY HAS 103K MILES AND IS 2009. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW & IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

SO I NOTICED THAT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID STEERING IS REQUIRING EXTRA POWER TO TURN THE STEERING. IT'S VERY STIFF AND I COULD HARDLY BE ABLE TO MAKE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNING.

PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME 10/2016. LAST TWO YEARS OIL CONSUMPTION IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES HAS REACHED PUTTING 4 TO 10 QUARTS OF OIL IN THIS CAR. RECENTLY HAD GASKETS, RADIATOR, COIL AND SPARKS CHANGED (10/2019). I NOW AS OF THIS DAY (12/21/2019) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (ENGINE FAILURE). GASKETS HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE VSC CAME ON. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO EVERY ONE INCLUDING WHERE I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM. IT APPEARS I HAVE NO RIGHTS REGARDING TOYOTA AND DRIVE TIME AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. I KNOW THIS CANNOT BE THE CASE. WHO IS HOLDING THESE ENTITIES ACCOUNTABLE?. THIS CAR HAS STOPPED AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR REGARDING THIS ENGINE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THIS CORRECTED. THIS IS A DEFECT ON TOYOTA'S PART AND DRIVE TIME FOR THE SALE OF THIS CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS WHICH I KNOW I HAVE. DOING RESEARCH THERE WAS NO RECALL. WHY NOT. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE ON MY 2009 CAMRY MADE ME ALMOST CRASH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BASICALLY I HAD MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND LOST THE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY RISKING THE CAR BEHIND ME CRASHING INTO ME. I HAVE THE 2.4L ENGINE. THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BURNING OIL DUE TO FAULTY PISTONS, AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENGINE BURNS A LOT OF OIL TOO NOT ONLY RISKING MY LIFE BY HAVING MULTIPLE MISFIRES, BUT IT ALSO RUINS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF OIL THAT I USE TO CONSTANTLY TOP IT OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND SHIFTING INTO THE DRIVE GEAR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SURGED FORWARD. AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY, DETERIORATING, AND MELTING. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A GLARE THAT OBSCURED THE CONTACT'S VISION WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED PRINCIPLE TOYOTA (7370 WINCHESTER RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38125, (877) 217-4003) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1911120733. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE DESK IS GETTING WORST STICKY AND THAT REFLECT TO WINDSHIELD HARD TO SEE SOMETIMES..AND CONSUMING LOTS OF ENGINE OIL..BOTH THEY ISSUED EXTENTED WARRANTY BUT I NEVER GOT ANY MAIL FROM TOYOTA THEY SAYS THEY SEND ME ON OLDER ADRESS..BUT I AM LIVING THIS ADRESS SINCE 2012 AND THE SAME ADRESS ON MY DRIVING LISENCE SINCE 2012.NOW WHEN IT CAME IN MY KNOWLEDGE THESE PROBLEM I CONTACT TOYOTA BUT THEY SAYS I JUST PASSED 10 YEARS AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING.NOW I AM STUCK WITH THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ITS RUNNING OUT WHOLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON EVERY 2000 MILE...NO OIL IN IT.SO PLS HELP US. THANKS.MY CAR IS 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE.

I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAMRY. BACK IN 2015 I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND BROUGHT UP TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY. AT THE TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT AND REPLACING IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. NOW 4 YEARS LATER I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THAT COVERED THE DASHBOARD. MY DASHBOARD IS NOW SO STICKY THAT IT IS GLISTENING. I TRIED TO USE A SUN VISOR HOPING IT WOULD SLOW THE RATE OF MELTING BUT THEN MY SUN VISOR WOULD STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I PLACE A HAT ON THE DASHBOARD ONCE FOR 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I REMOVED IT THERE WAS BLACK RESIDUE. FINALLY, I HAVE A CHILD NOW AND WHEN HE GETS INTO THE CAR HE HAS PUT HIS HANDS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GOTTEN THE BLACK DEBRIS AND CHEMICALS ON HIS HANDS AND I AM NOW CONCERNED FOR HIS HEALTH AND SAFETY. THERE WAS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY SPOUSE CHANGES MY OIL FOR ME AND OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS COMMENTED THAT I WAS SURPRISINGLY VERY LOW ON OIL. I AM WONDERING WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM NOTICES WERE SENT OUT. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA #1911082336. THEY TELL ME THAT I AM OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR REPAIR AND IT WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING I NOTIFIED THEM OF THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BEFORE.

ACCELERATOR GETS STUCK OPEN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. IT WOULD REV AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED DOWNSHIFTING WITH NO EFFECT. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO VERY HIGH RPMS, EVEN WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THEN IT FINALLY STALLED OUT.

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS BURNING OIL. TOYOTA DID NOT DO A RECALL OR CONTACT THE OWNER THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I AM OVER MY "YEARS' BUT WITHIN THE MILEAGE. THEY WILL NOT PLACE/REBUILD THE MOTOR.
