2016 Toyota Camry Engine Problems

Just at 70,000 miles a service light came on. After checking I found the oil was very low, about 2 quarts. I took it to the dealer for the oil change on 10/17/2022 and the service tech said that the hybrids use (burn) a little oil. That seems excessive to me. I just check my oil and it is a quart low with 3800 miles after the last oil change. Could have been burning oil for some time and didn't know it due to the fact I always took it to the dealer for the oil changes. They never said anything about the car burning or using oil, There is no leak as no oil in my driveway and on the engine. I'm afraid it might lock up on me when I on the road and could cause me to wreak.

Micro leaks in radiator top plastic, could be defect with any camrys. Had to replace radiator.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in for routine maintenance, it was discovered that the radiator was leaking antifreeze and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed the failure was present and replaced the radiator. The cause of the failure was not determined. In addition, a message indicating that cylinder number two had misfired was displayed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NEED TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE LAST 30 OR SO DAYS EVEN AFTER IT WAS IN THE DEALER TWICE.LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED IT DIED ON THE SERVICE MANAGER. LUCKILY IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR.NOTE: THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT CAN ONLY PUT IN 1 DATE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CAR HAS LESS THE 50K AND USES A QUART OR MORE PER 1000 MILES.

I AM WRITING TO REPORT A DEFECT AND SAFETY CONCERN ABOUT MY 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. LAST JULY I BOUGHT A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY (VIN:[XXX]) FROM TOYOTA OF SARASOTA (7435 S TAMIAMI TRAIL SARASOTA, FL 34231). LAST NOVEMBER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ON I75, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF SUDDENLY AND THE DASHBOARD WAS DEAD AS WELL . I WAS SO SCARED AND PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN I CALMED DOWN , I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, AND IT WORKED AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW CAR AND DID NOT REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. WHEN MY FIRST SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT ON JANUARY THIS YEAR, I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CAR CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT HEAR OF THE THING I TOLD THEM EVER HAPPENED ON CAMRY BEFORE AND AGREE TO TAKE A LOOK. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. BUT TWO WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHEN I DRIVING THE CAR ON HIGHWAY I75. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED TOYOTA THOUGH THE NUMBER 800-331-4331, AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SIMILAR CASE REPORTED AND SUGGESTED ME TO CHECK MY CAR AT THE DEALER. I STOPPED BY THE DEALER AND THEY DROVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FAILED. THEY ALSO CHECK THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND FOUND NOTHING UNNORMAL. YESTERDAY(7/2/2017), I WENT THE DEALER FOR MY SECOND SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR MY CAR. BUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I75, THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE BACK TO THE DEALER REPORTING THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECK THE CAR AGAIN AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG AGAIN. ENCLOSED PLEASE FIND THE PICTURES I TOOK YESTERDAY WHEN I PULLED OVER MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE DASHBOARD WAS DEAD AND THE KEY WAS STILL AT THE ON POSITION. PLEASE HELP ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
