Watch out

Faults owners and the press report, and how to spot each one.

• Burning oil, 2.4L and Hybrid All years

  Check: Check the oil level, ask how much it uses between changes, and watch for blue smoke. Ask a Toyota dealer whether the ZE7 oil consumption repair was done.

  Toyota's ZE7 program extended cover for excessive oil consumption on certain 2007–2009 Camrys and 2007–2011 Camry Hybrids with the 2AZ engine, about 980,200 Camrys and 177,600 Hybrids, to ten years or 150,000 miles from first use, so it has ended. On CarComplaints.com's page for the 2009, an unofficial source, 227 owners report burning oil at an average of 96,600 miles, at rates from about a quart every 1,000 miles to one every 2,000.
