2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid Engine Problems

“I have really good driving record with no accident & not even 1 ticket in the past 20 years before these 2 accidents & we've had the car for 6.5 years. 1st accident happened on 4/11/14 at 9:14am. Traffic was bad during the morning rush hour so all cars were travelling slowly. I was on fwy 5 heading s to the fwy 55 s ramp in ca. Matrix (1st car) suddenly stopped while all other cars were still moving forward. Equinox (2nd car) stopped & I immediately slammed my foot on the brake pedal. …”

“The low oil indicator came on a few months ago. I checked the oil and I was over 3 quarts low. I took it to the dealer and they dismissed it and told me it was a common problem. It happened again and I took it to a different dealer. They confirmed it was 3+ quarts low. I asked why it gets so low before a light turns on.
