Description of the problem	My toyota camry consumes an exorbitant amount of oil. I bought this car in summer 2013 with approx 35,000 miles, and within two-three month after my first oil change, the low oil warning lamp would turn on at hard braking. It turned out that the oil level was critically low even though it had been very recently changed. I was lucky to discover it when i was close to home so i was able to add oil. The inspection of the car did not reveal any oil leaks. I now have to add oil every several weeks even though the car has barely touched 50,000 miles. The car is now out of warranty. Had i embarked on a long trip right before the oil level fell low enough to trigger the low oil warning light, i could have experienced a catastrophic failure of the engine as open highway driving does not usually require hard braking. As a result i would have not found out that the engine was out of oil and could have suddenly stalled causing an accident. I am the second owner of this car. Before it was serviced as a toyota dealer and the maintenance paperwork that came with the car did not point to any issues with the higher than normal oil consumption. Please do not wait until people get hurt in accidents caused by failed engines and make toyota to fix this problem as the oil consumption is getting progressively worse with time and miles driven. Instead of sudden acceleration people may start getting killed from sudden stops caused by failed engines!!!
