2008 Toyota Camry Fuel System Problems

"TOYOTA PISTON RING RECALL"I HAVE NOT RECIEVE A NOTICE THAT A RECALL FOR 2008 CAMRY, WHICH I PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2017. I HAVE DRIVEN IT ONLY 6,000 MILES AND HAVE CHANGED THE OIL TWICE. BOTH TIMES, I REALIZED THAT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE CAR WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. I RECENTLY GOT AN OIL CHANGE AT VALVOLINE STORE, ABOUT 1200 MILES AGO, ON MARCH 15, 2018. IT IS ALREADY DANGEROUSLY LOW, AFTER DRIVING IN A NORMAL FASHION, 10 DAYS LATER. I AM NOW AWARE THAT A RECALL HAS OCCURRED FOR MILLIONS OF TOYOTAS HAVING THE IMPROPER PISTON RINGS INSTALLED. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR DURING THIS RECALL PERIOD, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA BEARING ALL OF THE COSTS TO REPAIR IT. THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WILL PROVE TO BE FATAL TO THE ENGINE IN MY CAT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN, SHOULD THE ENGINE SEIZE, OR OTHERWISE MALFUNCTION, WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE VISITED AND ADDRESSED MY ISSUE WITH MY LOCAL, COPELAND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH 2 REPRESENTATIVES AT TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS WHOM ALSO DENY THAT TOYOTA HAS ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE STILL MILLIONS OF CARS BY THUS MAKER, OUT ON THE ROAD, DRIVEN EVERYDAY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANOTHER AUTHORITY , WHAT I AM TO DO ABOUT GETTING TOYOTA TO FIX MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND COMING TO A NEAR STOP, THE VEHICLE, A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY, SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN ACCORD, HOPPING THE CONCRETE CURB, ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE AS THE CAR CRASHED STRUCK AND PUSHED ALONG A TRASH BIN, THRU THICK BRUSH, A STEEL GATED FENCE AND EVENTUALLY STRIKING A TREE WHERE THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO REST. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY APPLYING BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKES AS IT TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO BOTH THE FLOOR MAT AND ACCELERATION PEDAL RECALLS WHICH WERE REPAIRED ON FEBRUARY 11, 2010. THIS INCIDENT WAS POST-RECALL REPAIR. SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND IS CURRENTLY BEING STORED BY AN AUTOBODY REPAIR FACILITY AND AWAITS INSPECTION BY NHTSA AND TOYOTA. *TR

MY CAR ACCELERATED FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. I HAVE A CAMRY HYBRID WHICH WAS NOT RECALLED BUT FIXED ANYWAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A GAS SMELL WHEN OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THEN NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW FUEL TANK AND THERE HAD BEEN NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 640.
