2015 Toyota Camry Engine Problems

The car burns oil excessively, I bought this car 11/07/2022 every week to 2 weeks I have to put 2-2 1/2 quarts of oil in. There is nothing wet under the car no oil stains anywhere so oil is not leaking. I spend so much money on oil it's not normal.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMPLETING AN OIL CHANGE ON THE VEHICLE, A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO PUT MORE OIL IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE OIL LEVEL WAS STILL LOW IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER OAK LAWN TOYOTA (4320 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

CLAPPING OR TAPPING NOISE SOUNDS LIKE LIFTER OR VALVE MAKING NOISE AT CERTAIN TIMES. IF YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON IT WILL MAKE THE NOISE EVEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT GETS A LOUDER CLAPPING. I GET MY EVERY OIL CHANGE AT 5,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE SHOULDN'T BE MAKING THIS NOISE.

EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL. IN ABOUT 5000 MILES THE ENGINE IS ALMOST EMPTY. INSPECTED AT THE TOYOTA DEALER NO LEAKS FOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A BAD CHEMICAL SMELL THAT CAME FROM THE VENTS INTO CAB OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER GLEN TOYOTA19 POLLITT DR STE 01, FAIR LAWN, NJ 07410 (855) 532-7352 SAID THEY COULD NOT SMELL THE ODOR. THE CONTACT INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE ISSUE. THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE HEATING AND AIR CONDITION SMELL FROM A MOLD BUILDUP ON THE EVAPORATION. THIS EMITTED FOUL ODORS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER GAVE THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER AND SAID TO CALLBACK WHEN SHE RETURNED TO HER PERMANENT ADDRESS IN ANOTHER STATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

I GREW UP ON A FARM AND HAVE WORKED ON MANY MACHINES OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE OWNED CARS, TRUCKS, MOTORCYCLES AND A BOAT. I UNDERSTAND HOW VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED TO WORK. MY CAR IS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, 2.5L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE SAFETY ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR BEGAN SOMEWHERE AROUND 20,000 MILES AND ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TO TRAFFIC, AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LOSE OF POWER. THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND DOWNWARD TREND IN RPMS. THE NEXT TIME I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE I REPORTED THIS. THE SERVICE TECH REPORTED THERE WERE NO CODES AND THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE RECREATED. NOW THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES AT USUALLY AT BETWEEN 2000-3000 RPMS. IT HAS HAPPENED TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AND JUST HAVING THE CAR A HEAD MOVE FORWARD AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE FORWARD AS WELL TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN VERY INTERMITTENT, OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION AND USUALLY BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, AND SOMETIMES NOT OCCURRING FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORP AT THE ADVICE OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEAL SHIP. I HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BY THE CASE MANAGERS AT TOYOTA, SHUFFLED OFF TO NEW CASE MANAGERS AND ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED UNTIL IT COULD BE RECREATED. I SHOULD STOP EVERYTHING AND RETURN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH INSTANCE. FINALLY, THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR A WEEK AND THE ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE TECHNICIAN WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE CASE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAD TO BE RECREATED AGAIN.TOYOTA WOULD RATHER HAVE A DRIVER ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THEN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. NOW THE CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY, MOSTLY UNUSED. THE DEALER WILL NOT GIVE DECENT TRADE VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

THE LAST TIME THAT I TOOK MY OIL IN TO BE CHANGED, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS 3 QUARTS LOW AND TO CHECK IT EVERY WEEK AS THIS YEAR AND MODEL HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE OIL BURNING UP. I AM JUST ABOUT DUE TO TAKE MY CAR IN AGAIN FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES. I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR,

OIL LEAK FROM BACK OF ENGINE. OIL LEAK DETECTION W/DYE DURING OIL CHANGE.

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND STARTED TO CHANGE LANES AND SPEED UP TO THE 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON THE 4 LANE CITY HIGHWAY. AS I SPED UP THE CAR FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS LASTED ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN SPED UP NORMALLY. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN 50 MILES AT 70 MPH SPEEDS AND HAD SPENT 2 HOURS HAVING LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. CAR WAS PARKED IN 80 DEGREE SUN DURING THE MEAL. THIS "STUMBLE"HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND ONE COMPLAINT FORM COMPLETED (# 10896696).

SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT-END DAMAGE.

AFTER MY 25,000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK I BEGAN NOTICING A FOUL ODOR UPON ENTERING THE CAR. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS ODOR IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE FANS ARE BLOWING, THE SMELL REDUCES IN STRENGTH. HOWEVER, ANYTIME THE CAR IS OFF, THE CABIN FILLS ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS HORRIBLE FOUL ODOR. TO DESCRIBE THE SMELL I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S SIMILAR TO A GYM LOCKER ROOM MIXED WITH GARBAGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AS MY CAR IS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS SOLELY USED FOR COMMUTING. FOOD IS NOT CONSUMED IN THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY WATER IS DRANK. THE FACT THAT THE SMELL DISAPPEARS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE FANS ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A DEAD ANIMAL PRESENT IN THE CHASSIS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MECHANICAL ISSUE. *TR
