2017 Toyota Camry Engine Problems

Your engine experienced catastrophic failure due to piston pin bushings and connecting rod bushings wearing out or breaking. You may have noticed a knocking sound coming from the lower engine with no warning lights. The dealership determined the engine needs to be completely replaced rather than repaired.

Your 2017 Camry is making an unusual noise from the engine area, and you've noticed the oil level is abnormally low even though you had an oil service done recently. The dealer performed an oil consumption test to investigate whether your engine is burning or leaking oil faster than normal. The fix will likely involve identifying whether the engine has internal wear, a leak, or a manufacturing defect that's causing excessive oil loss.

Your engine is consuming oil much faster than it should. You heard an abnormal noise from the engine compartment, and when checked at the dealer, the oil level was critically low even though no warning lights came on. This excessive oil consumption needs to be diagnosed and repaired to prevent engine damage.
