Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1995 toyota camry began to have documented signs of oil sludge during routine maintenance around 1999. each time i would have the oil changed and any repairs made to keep my car in good and working condition, it was noted that my oil had sludge. at that time, i knew nothing of the toyota sludge issue. after having this diagnosis a few times, i went somewhere else for a second opinion since the "sludge" problem kept recurring despite of regular maintenance. i was told about toyota models with complaints of engine sludge. my model was not included (1995 camry, v4). i have since contacted toyota without recourse. i have spent over 5k to rebuild my engine and i am seeking reimbursement from toyota and petitioning to have my model and other toyota models with engine oil sludge to be recalled. *jb
