DRIVERS SIDE VISOR PART BROKE AND COMPROMISES DRIVERS VISIBILITY. DRIVER BUMPS INTO VISOR WITH FOREHEAD WHEN DRIVING. TRUNK LATCH AT TOP WAS GIVING ME TROUBLE. GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO CLOSE VERY WELL. FOAM AROUND CAR DOOR COMING OUT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ON ANY CAR I OWNED OR HAVE DRIVEN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE. I LOVE DRIVING A CAMRY BUT SOME OF THE PARTS INSIDE ARE BREAKING AND ITS DISAPPOINTING. I USED TO HAVE A 1994 CAMRY THAT I PURCHASED USED IN 2004, AND IT NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BOUGHT THE 2011 CAMRY USED AND LOVE THE WAY IT DRIVES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NO SCREWS TO TIGHTEN TO STOP VISOR FROM FALLING DOWN. DANGEROUS. FINALLY AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING TO KEEP VISOR UP I HAD TO HOT GLUE THE VISOR TO TOP OF CAR; NOW I CANNOT USE VISOR QUICKLY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. MIGHT NEED TO NOTE THAT RARELY WAS VISOR EVER USED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE CAR AND IT OPERATED FINE. AFTER LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, MASTER FAILURE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH AND I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP THE CAR, SO I PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO STOP AND IT STUTTERED ABOUT 10 TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE BRAKES. THE CAR IS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED AT THEY DEALERSHIP.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION ZTT AND HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL JUST DROP INTO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AND DISTRACTING ME AS A REACH TO MANIPULATE IT OUT OF MY VIEW. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
FIRST INCIDENT: JUNE 15, 2016 HEADING TO THE EXPRESSWAY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR STARTED TO BOUNCE. I PULLED INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. SECOND INCIDENT SEPTEMBER 22,2016 I WAS OUT OF TOWN, AND THE CAR STARTED TO REPEAT THE SAME AS IN JUNE. I PULLED INTO A TIRE SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE STEEL BELT. AGAIN, I EXPLAINED TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR. HE ADVISED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE CAR SET WITHOUT MOVEMENT, PRIOR TO SELLING AND THE WEATHER BEAT THE TIRES. HE PLACED THE TIRE IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. IN BOTH INCIDENTS: TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN STEEL BELT INSIDE THE TIRE WALL.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. I WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED SIMILAR PROBLEM ON INTERNET. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THE VISOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DROPPING AND NOW CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND MOSTLY AT NIGHT AS IT HIDES HALF OF MY FIELD OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND EVERYONE KEEPS STATING THE VIN NUMBER FALLS OUT OF THE RANGE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS LINK HERE SAYS DIFFERENTLY: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-4 IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS DESPITE MILEAGE FOR THIS DROPPING VISOR. IT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECT IN VISORS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE TRIED TAPING IT, PUSHING IT BACK, FORWARD, EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS. THIS VISOR DEFECT HAS CAUSED ME ANXIETY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN VISIBILITY NOT IN MY OWN SELF BUT IN THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE. I AM SIMPLY REQUESTING THEM TO CHANGE THE VISOR FOR ME AND HELP ME RESOLVE THIS TO HELP ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT Y SAFETY OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAN NOT GO BACK TO IT'S POSITION. IT'S HANGING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE HARD TIME TO LOOK IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. MY DAUGHTER IS LITTLE TALLER AND SHE DRIVES THIS CAR TOO, AND IT MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE FOR HER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH THAT.

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2011. THE SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN. I HAVE NO SUN VISOR AND I SEE IT AS A SAFETY HAZARD. CALLED TOYOTA CA DELEAR- CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY IN SAN JOSE, THEY SAID THAT IT IS COVERED AFTER CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER. WENT THERE AND WASTED 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT IS IS NOT COVERED. CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE ( OR BAD EXPERIENCE) LINE AND THEY OPENED A CASE (1609170669) AND SAID IS IS NOT COVERED. I SEE THAT TOYOTA PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE QUALITY BOTH HAVE GONE DOWN. IT IS BETTER TO BUY OTHER GOOD BRANDS AND AVOID TOYOTA.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THAT I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE PAST 45 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 60MPH. I THEN WAS ABLE THANK GOD TO GET OFF INTERSTATE AND EXIT TO SIDE STREET. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 3RD GEAR AND SPEED WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 45MPH. I MADE APPOINTMENT THE SAME DAY TO GET CAR LOOKED AT BOB HOWARD TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE(BAD) . I AM INFORMED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND IT IS MY EXPECTATION TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED ASAP AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE AS WELL AS PROVIDING ME TRANSPORTATION AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE! I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED APPROXIMATELY 4-6 WEEKS AGO AND I DO NOT RECALL BEING INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR EXPEDIENT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER AND IT BEING AT TOYOTA'S FULL EXPENSE AND NOT MINE RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED [XXX] PS CONTACT INFORMATION [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. WE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW TO FIX IT. WHEN WE DID, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN OUT FOR 2007 - 2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THERE WAS A VIDEO AND OUR SUN VISOR DID EXACTLY WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CAMRYS WHICH IT COVERS. OUR CAMRY DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THAT RANGE. ON FURTHER RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE BUT WEREN'T COVERED BECAUSE OF THEIR VIN DIDN'T FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA BEFORE. WE OWN FOUR TOYOTAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS POPPING AND WON'T GO UP ALL THE WAY. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO. THANK YOU. *TR
