I was on the hwy going 65 MPH, in my 2007 Camry Hybrid when this happened, totally lost power, I was able to pill over to the side road call for help. This is a ridiculous situation for an automobile. I feel like the public is being used like test dummies by Toyota.”

“Vehicle has problem with excessive oil consumption. Low engine oil indicator on despite oil being in the system. I have been in contact with the dealer, and Toyota customer service, because I did not receive notification and that the problem occurred after the time period that they gave for remediation, they can do nothing. I have had to park this vehicle because it is said that the engine could seize, at any time, creating a safety hazard.”
