ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DURING THE LAST 2 OR 3 OIL CHANGES THE SHOP I WAS AT NOTED THAT THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL WHEN IT CAME IT. I'VE ALWAYS MADE SURE THEY FILLED IT TO THE TOP AND WHILE CHECKING IT RECENTLY IN BETWEEN CHANGES (2K BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS DUE) THE DIPSTICK WAS ONLY SHOWING OIL AT THE HALFWAY MARKS BETWEEN THE TWO DOTS ON THE STICK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT DURING HARD ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY SMOKE IS COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO JOIN THE GROWING NUMBER OF CAMRY OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. A CAR WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AND THE FACT THAT TOYOTA STATES THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR SOME OIL TO BE BURNED IN BETWEEN CHANGES DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH ME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY ABOVE 60 MPH, THE CAR WANDERS AND IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE TOYOTA DEALER CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT ONCE, AND SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED IT. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM HEARING MANY 2012 CAMRY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT, AND THEIR IS NO FIX. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR
