| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2007 camry xle 4 cyl/auto have 2 powertrain problems. 1) the engine has an excessive "oil consumption" problem. it burns a qt. of oil every 1,000 miles. twice in the last 10k miles a warning alarm came on, followed by a"low eng oil pressure" light. each time we found almost 2 qt. low-verified by dealer, who can't find any external leaks or smoke. after a lengthy 3rd visit to the dealer for extensive testing, they returned my car without finding the problem. toyota-engineering has no idea how to fix this problem either, so the dealer can only check/add oil weekly-indefinitely. 2) the transmission does not respond when entering/merging freeways. i must endure near-misses almost daily because the car won't go whenever i stump on the accelerater, causing me to have nightmares of being rear-ended on the freeway. this car is not safe and the manufacturer can't fix it! *jb |
