TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE CONTACT'S DRIVEWAY, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT NOTICED FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN AUGUST OF 2017 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY) AT AN UNKNOWN LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE SAME UNKNOWN TOYOTA DEALER WAS CALLED AND MADE AWARE OF THE RECENT FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THE CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. 4-6 QUARTS BETWEEN 3000 MILE OIL CHANGES! THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE SINCE NOTICING AN INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION STARTING AROUND 2016. ONLY AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A FIX WAS I MADE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY TOYOTA. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY BULLETINS OR RECALLS FROM TOYOTA AS THEY HAVE CLAIMED. I HOPE THEY WILL PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF HELP IN REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AS IT IS VERY COSTLY TO MAINTAIN, MUCH LESS REPAIR. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A SEEMINGLY RELIABLE MANUFACTURER THAT CLAIMS TO BUILD DEPENDABLE VEHICLES.
