MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS CAME UNHINGED ON ITS OWN. I AM ABLE TO TEMPORARILY PLACE IT BACK ON THE HOOK BY PULLING THE PLASTIC OPEN THAT SURROUNDS THE BRACKETS SO IT CAN OPERATE AS A SUNVISOR SHOULD. BUT IF I GO OVER A BUMP THEN IT IS LIKELY TO COME UNHOOKED AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION BY LEANING WHILE ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE SMALL CATCH HOOK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AT TIMES IT COMPLETELY FALLS INTO MY LAP AS I AM DRIVING OR I WILL GET INTO THE CAR AND THE VISOR WILL BE LAYING ON THE SEAT. IT FALLS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STABLE AND IN MOTION. IT ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE UP. SO IF I NEED IT CLOSED (I.E AT NIGHT) THEN I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF. MY MOTHER HAS DRIVEN MY CAR AND SHE IS SHORTER THAN ME SO SHE SITS CLOSER THERE THE WHEEL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VISOR FELL OFF AND HIT HER ON THE HEAD. BIG ISSUE! IT IS SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD FIX. IT SEEMS THE "SAFEST" THING TO DO BESIDES REPLACE IT IS TO NOT HAVE THE VISOR UP BUT THAT IT'S THE SOLE REASON FOR HAVING A SUN VISOR... TO BLOCK THE SUN... YET IT DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY SERVE IT'S PURPOSE WITHOUT RISK. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED BUT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS IN EVERY POSITION IT IS MOVED TO SO I'M SURE IT WILL BREAK SOON ALSO. SO I CHECKED OUT TOYOTA RECALL/WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY ONLY A FEW OF THE 2011 VEHICLES FALL IN THE COVERED RANGE ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN THOSE FEW. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC CONCERN. OBSTRUCTED VISION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FALL WITHIN THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR RANGE BUT NOT THE VIN RANGE FOR REPAIR, WHICH IS CRAZY! ANY OF THE TOYOTA'S WITH THIS ISSUE THAT MEET THE BASIC CRITERIA SHOULD QUALIFY REGARDLESS OF THE PRODUCT SUPPLIER FOR THAT VIN. SEEMS TO BE A WAY TO SPEND LESS FIXING BY COVERING LESS VEHICLES AND NOT CONSIDERING SAFETY.

I CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER AFTER MY WIFE'S 2011 SUN VISOR FELL WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND WON'T STAY UP. FIRST THE SERVICE PERSON COULDN'T FIND THE TOYOTA MEMO. THEN HE FOUND IT BUT SAID ONLY THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE COVERED. I TOLD HIM IT'S ONE UNIT. HE SPOKE TO A SERVICE TECH AND THE TECH CONFIRMED IT'S ONE UNIT. THEN HE CAME BACK WITH WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT THEN ORDER THE PART. I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK IN A FEW DAYS TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER. HE PUT ME ON HOLD AND NOW CLAIMS SHE IS OUT OF HER WARRANTY PERIOD.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLOSSINESS FROM THE DASHBOARD MELTING IMPAIRS MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE GLARE IT GIVES FROM THE SUN REFLECTING. I AM SCARED OF MY SAFETY AS I LIVE ON A TROPICAL/HOT ISLAND LOCATION.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

ON 5/19/17 THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO NOT STAY IN THE RESTING POSITION. IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD ANYMORE EITHER. IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB FORUM WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTP://J.MP/2QU53VO HERE ARE LINKS TO THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTS OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND APPLICABLE VINS. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/ZTT-DLRLTR.PDF I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RESPONSE EMAIL FROM THEM AND CASE NUMBER. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INHIBITS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD.
