2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

2 COMPLAINTS: 1. WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT SOMETIMES GET STUCK WHERE I HAVE TO PRESS EVEN HARDER AND THEN THE FRONT WHEELS START SPINNING TOO RAPIDLY. ONE TIME AT A SCHOOL CROSS WALK, THE PEDAL STUCK, I PUSHED HARDER AND FINALLY THE WHEELS ENGAGED BUT THE SCREECHING IT MADE, HAD THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD GIVING ME A "DIRTY" LOOK. 2. THE CAMRY IS GOING THROUGH OIL LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. WITHIN 5000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO ADD MORE THAN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. IT IS RIDICULOUS.

I'M AN OWNER OF A TOYOTA CAMRY 2009 MY NAME IS [XXX] I HAVE JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND I'M ASKING FOR HELP WITH THE OIL PROBLEM. I'M ADDING QUARTS OF OIL AND BEFORE THE MAINTENANCE DATE FOR AN OIL CHANGE I AM BEING TOLD THERE'S NO OIL IN YOUR ENGINE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE RPMS DECREASED AND WHITE SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE EXHAUST, WHICH TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SARASOTA IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA, BUT THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE PER MANUFACTURER'S ORDERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. HAVE TO ADD OIL AT 830 MILES. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT WAS ALWAYS TOLD IT PASSED THE TEST. RECEIVED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA BUT IT'S ALREADY EXPIRED. IT WAS NOT EXPIRED WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES.

STICK DASHBOARD THAT IS DETERIORATING AND CREATES GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ROADWAY. TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF RECALL AND I MISSED THE CUTOFF FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. NO TAKATA AIRBAG NOTICE OR ANY OTHER RECALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN SENT TO ME FROM TOYOTA

2009 CAMRY LE STARTED GOING THROUGH A QUART OF 5-20 SYNTHETIC OIL PER 1000 MILES. THE CAR IS EXCELLENTLY MAINTAINED AND THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED REGULARLY SINCE PURCHASE. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT 158,000 MILES (SEPT 2017). NICHOLE AT WOLFCHASE TOYOTA, GERMANTOWN, TN SAID THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT CONDUCT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NOR FIX THE PROBLEM IF PROVEN IF THE CAR IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS OR OVER 150,000 MILES.

THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL MORE THAN NORMAL. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. ISSUE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED TO ME VIA MAIL OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF COMMUNICATION.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2009 CAMRY, WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE CAR SALESPERSON TOLD ME IT'S JUST CLEANER, SO OF COURSE I BELIEVED THEM. ALTHOUGH, WHEN I GOT HOME I READ ALL ABOUT TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS COMPANY'S INTERIOR MANUFACTURING. THERE IS AN INTENSE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.
