TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES(2007-2011) WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE GARDEN STATE HIGHWAY, EASTER NIGHT 2017, WHEN THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2011 CAMRY JUST DROPPED DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE VISOR TO STAY UP AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND HOLDING IT UP UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. ULTIMATELY, THE ENTIRE VISOR SEPARATED FROM THE HOLDER. I LATER LEARNED ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY SUPPORT PROGRAM (ZTT) ISSUED BY TOYOTA 8/1/12 ON SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES AND SUN VISOR BRACKETS ON CERTAIN TOYOTA 2007-2011 CAMRY''S. TOYOTA HAS ANNOUNCED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM TO COVER OF THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES/BRACKETS FOR 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE MY CAR IS GOING TO BE SIX YEARS OLD IN AUGUST, I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER APPLICABLE VIN RANGES. APPARENTLY THIS DEFECT IS NOT JUST IN THE CARS WITH THOSE APPLICABLE VIN NUMBERS, BUT IN FAR MORE CARS. MY REFERENCE # [XXX]. HAVING A SUN VISOR FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING (PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT) IS DANGEROUS, AS IS NOT HAVING A SUN VISOR WHEN THE SUN IS VERY BRIGHT.! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T RESPOND TO REMOTE, OR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL. THE TWO REAR DOORS DO NOT ALLOW THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THESE DOORS ONLY UNLOCK BY USING THE ROCKER BUTTONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS AS THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. MY TOYOTA DEALER ADVISES THAT HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ACTIVATORS IN EACH DOOR AT COST OF $600, BUT WOUND NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD REMEDIATE THE LOCK PROBLEMS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A CSP ( VTT) COVERING FAILING SUNVISOR HINGES ON CAMRYS FROM 2007-2011. MINE HAS FAILED. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER I AM TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 25000 TOO HIGH ( TRANSLATION WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THAT POINT. THEY HAVE NOT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED. AS AN ENGINEER I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROBLEM WAS BELIEVED TO BE SOLVED BUT WAS NOT. NO REAL NEED FOR A PHOTO TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION, THE HINGE THAT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO INSURE THAT THE VISOR STAYS WHERE YOU PLACED IT HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC AND NOW FLOPS USELESSLY AROUND. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE DESIRED POSITION

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE ACTUATOR COMES ON OFTEN AND LOUDLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE UNTIL IT FAILS. THE SERVICE MANAGERS RESPONSE IS: YES WE HAVE CONFIRMED IT IS STARTING TO FAIL YES WE HAVE CONFIRMED IT IS LOUDER THAN NORMAL YES, IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL LOSE POWER BRAKING AND YOUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. YES, I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT IT WILL FAIL WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD OF 4 MORE YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. BUT NO, WE WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNDER EITHER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM OR THE $2,200 BUMPER TO BUMPER EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA DIRECTLY. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT THEY CAN CONFIRM A PART IS FAILING, IT CONTROLS BRAKING, AND YET THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT.

MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR STARTED HANGING DOWN AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD WITH IT IN MY WAY. I REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER 2007-2011 CAMRYS HAD SAME ISSUE BUT MINE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE 7 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SUN VISORS. I AM NOW DRIVING WITHOUT A VISOR WHICH IS NOT SAFE!

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR: IN THE PAST 3/4 DAYS, I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE 2 PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY: 1. IT WON'T STAY UP IN PLACE AND FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION- THIS IS A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD 2. THE MIRROR LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. FROM THE ONLINE BLOGS I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR CAMRY MY2007-2011. I LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND IT DOESN'T FALL IN THE RANGE SPECIFIED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I ASKED TOYOTA IS THEY WILL COVER IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO AS THE VIN # DOESN'T FALL IN THEIR RANGE COVERED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD INCLUDE OTHER VIN# IN THE RANGE BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE FACING AND THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND NOT WARRANTY AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BELOW IS A LINK TO ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/ I URGE NTHJSA TO TAKE THIS UP WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE THEM FIX THIS DEFECT WITH ALL THE CARS.

2011 CAMRY SUNVISOR BECAME LOOSE AND HUNG DOWN INTERFERING WITH MY VIEW. I TRIED DIFFERENT METHODS TO HOLD IT UP, BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. I REMOVED THE SUNVISOR SO IT WOULDN'T BLOCK MY VIEW, BUT SINCE AT SOME TIMES DURING THE YEAR I AM DRIVING INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN'S. THE VIN LIST IS VERY LIMITED, AND DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE (ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM). TOYOTA HAS CALLED THIS A WARRANTY PROBLEM (POL12-03) AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ITEM.

THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE HOOD WAS NOT OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE SECURITY ALARM KEPT RANDOMLY SOUNDING.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER AND JUST CREPT AT A VERY LOW RATE. STEPPING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL DID NOT DO ANY GOOD. IF WE WERE IN TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND ARE WAITING FOR AN ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE SEEN ON TOYOTA NATION THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL OR AN ALERT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SITUATION. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE IGNITION KEY PROBLEM WHERE THE ENGINE IS INADVERTENTLY SHUT-OFF. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED CLOSE TO OUR RESIDENCE. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. AT THE TOYOTA DEALER, WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" CONDITION AND WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR IF TOYOTA CAN NOT ASSESS AND FIX THIS UNSAFE CONDITION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)
