2007 Toyota Camry Solara

AM A PERSON WHO ALWAYS GET MY OIL CHANGE ON TIME SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR. HOWEVER, OVER THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE NOTICE THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: MY 'OIL PRESSURE' LIGHT COME ON HALFWAY THROUGH YOUR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. MY ENGINE BURN THROUGH AS MUCH AS 1 QUART OF OIL IN 1,200 MILES I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 10, 2017 LOCATED ON 1000 BLAIRS BRIDGE RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122. THEY CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE BURNING THROUGH OIL IS 'NORMAL' AND 'NOTHING TO BE ALARMED OF' THEY ACKNOWLEDGE DAMAGED, OIL-DEPRIVED ENGINE ONLY TO DENY WARRANTY COVERAGE; THEY QUOTED ME OVER 3,000 TO GET FIXED TWO WEEKS LATER, I CHECKED MY OIL AND I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. OVER TIME, THIS ISSUE IS GETTING WORST. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE WITH NO RESOLUTION; I CONTINUE TO LEAVE MESSAGES. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED SINCE THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IN 2007 SOLORA'S.

ON 8-19-2016, I WAS LEAVING THE HEALTH CLUB AT APPROX. 5:30 P.M. AND WENT TO CAR, TURNED ON ENGINE, PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT JOLTED AND SOARED BACKWARDS, GOING OVER THE MEDIAN AND HITTING SIX PARKED CARS. BRAKES DID NOT WORK DURING THIS INCIDENT. THOSE CARS SUSTAINED DAMAGES, MY CAR , A 2007 SOLARA, WAS TOTALED OUT. THIS COMPLAINT IS LATE DUE TO AN ALREADY PLANNED RELOCATION, WHICH HAS OCCURRED. STILL EXPERIENCING SOME MILD PTSD AS A RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FENDER, FRONT BUMPER, AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP WERE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA IN MARCH 2008 WITH 22 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING IN 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. BY TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF, THE HEADLIGHT WOULD STAY ON. BEGINNING IN 2015 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT STARTED GOING OUT AFTER 3-5 MINUTES OPERATION AND I WOULD TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR ANOTHER 3-5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BULB, ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM WAS REOCCURRING. HAD THE FUSES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC'THEY WERE FINE. HAD THE WIRING CHECKED, IT WAS FINE. WHAT STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS IS DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT NOTIFICATION AND IT TOOK 2-3 TIMES OF TURNING THEM ON AND OFF BEFORE THEY BOTH CAME BACK ON' THEN 3-5 MINUTES LATER THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I HAVE TRIED EVERY COMBINATION OF LIGHTS I KNOW, BRIGHTS, AUTOMATIC, MANUAL.. HIGH BEAMS, FOG.. THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. THIS EVENING WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON A WINDING ROAD, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO RE-INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECURRING/KNOWN PROBLEM. SADLY, IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN A FORUM, BUT NOT AN ADMITTED PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CANNOT SELL/TRADE THE VEHICLE KNOWING OF THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I GIFT THIS VEHICLE TO MY TEEN. I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIND A TRUE RESOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED BUBBLES ON THE WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL WHEELS MAY FAIL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. UPDATED 05/17/16*LJ
