THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS EVENTUALLY BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY WHICH CREATES SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DRIVER IS FACING THE SUN. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CAMRY FROM 2007-2011 BUT MY 2011 WAS NOT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN MY WIFE AND I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD REV UP VERY QUICKLY BEFORE IT CHANGED OUT. JUST RECENTLY, IT BEGUN TO REV UP MORE OFTEN BEFORE IT SHIFTED GEARS. IT DID THAT FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS AT ALL AFTER 40MPH.THEN ULTIMATELY, IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 134,000 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARS THE TRANSMISSION HAS BURNED OUT ON IT. AFTER ANALYZING THE REVIEWS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE,I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT TOYOTA HAS SOLD ITS CONSUMER AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. I, AS A CONSUMER, REALLY WISH TOYOTA WOULD CONSIDER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSE AT THE HANDS OF THE CONSUMER. I, BEING A LOWER CLASS WORKING MAN, REALLY WENT THROUGH A LOT TO OBTAIN THE MONEY TO COVER THIS EXPENSE. YOU PROBABLY CAN TELL BECAUSE I'M TAKING THE TIME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM. THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL THIS IS AN UNFAIR SITUATION TO THE CONSUMER. MY WIFE AND I PAID A DECENT PENNY FOR OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT IS LESS THAN SIX YEARS OLD AND ALREADY HAS A MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUE. I REALLY HOPE TOYOTA CONSIDERS SOME FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CONSUMER. I PRAY MY WORDS WON'T FALL ON DEAF EARS. THANKS.

ON APPROXIMATELY JULY 19, 2016, I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND AT 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-85 DURING THE EARLY EVENING IN DURHAM, NC. THE SUN WAS LOW IN THE SKY AND I PULLED THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN'S GLARE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW WAS THAT THE SUN VISOR WAS IN MY HAND AND I WAS STRUGGLING TO SEE THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SO THAT I WOULD NOT HIT IT. I WAS TOTALLY STARTLED NOT ONLY BY THE GLARE OF THE SUN AFTER THE VISOR FAILED, BUT ALSO BY THE FAILURE OF THE VISOR ITSELF. THE VISOR HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM ITS SUPPORT ARM. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND ORDERED A REPLACEMENT SUN VISOR. WHILE THERE, A SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SOME 2011 CAMRY SUN VISORS. HE OFFERED TO LOOK UP MY CAR TO SEE IF IT WAS ON THE LIST. IT WASN'T, BUT HE SAID THAT CARS ON THE LIST HAD VISORS THAT FAILED IN THE SAME WAY AS MINE HAD. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST, THE SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA, WHICH I DID. THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY IS DESIGNATED "ZTT" AND AFFECTS MANY CAMRYS, INCLUDING SOME MANUFACTURED IN 2011, BUT BEFORE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS PICTURES OF VISORS AMONG THE EXTENDED WARRANTY VEHICLES THAT FAILED IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS MINE HAD. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR SO I 'M WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, AS NEARLY HAPPENED TO ME.

I NOTICED THE SUN VISOR STARTING TO SAG A BIT WHEN I PUT IT UP TO USE IT OR WHEN I CLOSED IT. IT HAD DONE THIS FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED USING IT, IT FELL DOWN AND WOULDNT GO BACK UP INTO POSITION TO USE IT OR TO STORE IT AWAY. IT WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION AND WITH THE SUN FACING ME FACE THAT TOO WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS BUT MY VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY AFFECTED.

THE RIGHT VISOR WAS ALREADY HANGING, WOULD NOT STOW, BUT WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR SNAPPED AND WAS HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE TO WHERE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT THEN I RIPPED THE THING OFF SO I COULD SEE. THIS REALLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE INCIDENTS, AND APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CURRENT LIST. UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE A VERY BAD CASE OF STICKY DASH BOARD WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA I TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS . I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW JUST SOME OF THE CARS THAT ARE OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL ARE RECALLED BUT MY IS NOT. MY DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND TOYOTA NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS. I WENT TO THE BEFORE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TO TOLD THAT THAT WAS OK AND IN THE PASS YEAR THE DASH BOARD IS WORST AND I AM HAVE TROUBLE DRIVING DUE TO THE SHINE THAT GLARE ON THE GLASS IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AS YOUR DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND YOU CAN GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS DURING THE DAYTIME OR NIGHT..

SUN VISORS HAVE JUST FALLEN DOWNWARD AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DRIVERS SIDE COMPLETELY FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON SOME '07-'11 CAMRY'S, BUT MINE DOES NOT FALL IN THE VIN # RANGE THEY EXTENDED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON ALL VIN #'S FROM THESE YEARS. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

JULY 2016 I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY BANK ATM AT APPROX.2-5 MPH IN MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE CAR TOOK OFF. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR. I MISSED A CAR AND A VAN, WENT UP OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT A POLE. THAT STOPPED ME! I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. SOMEHOW NO ONE GOT HURT. I HAD 3 BLOWN TIRES AND THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW BROKEN OUT WITH DAMAGE TO THAT DOOR. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PULLED FROM THE BODY. THE CAR HAS DAMAGE TO THE TIE ROD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FRONT END ALIGNMENT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DONE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2011 CAMRY'S FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, AFTER A DEATH? THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED A USED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY IN 2013 FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. BEFORE THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS UP, I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS BACK AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN ALIGNMENT. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT REPEATED. I CAN'T RECALL THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE HAD THIS DONE. AFTER THE DEALER WARRANTY RAN OUT, I USED AT LEAST 3 OTHER AUTO REPAIR CHAINS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO EACH ONE NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM SOLVED. IT WAS NEVER CORRECTED TO MY SATISFACTION. AT SOME OF THE REPAIR SHOPS I ALSO HAD 12 MONTH WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH TIRES, BRAKES, AND OTHER SERVICES. THEY BEGAN TO REFUSE TO REPEAT THE ALIGNMENTS, ASKING IF I HIT SOMETHING OR SUGGESTING OTHER EXPENSIVE SERVICES THAT I DIDN'T WANT OR NEED, REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY UNTIL I HAD THESE SERVICES DONE. I KNOW THEY HATED TO HAVE ME COME IN SO MANY TIMES TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT REPEATED. IT WAS NEVER CORRECTED AND THIS BECAME VERY EXPENSIVE-HAVING UNNECESSARY SERVICES THAT NEVER HELPED THE PROBLEM. AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE OWNER, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS OR ANY OTHER NOTICES ABOUT IT. NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS OR BEEN INFORMED BY ANYONE CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT RECALL THE PROBLEM BEING CORRECTED EVER. IT ONLY HAS 72,000MI ON IT AND IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A SAFE OR RELIABLE VEHICLE ANY LONGER. THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD AT LEAST MAKE SOME ATTEMPT TO ASSIST ME. IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CAR. LIKE FIGHTING WITH IT AND HAVING TO CONSTANTLY KEEP IT IN THE CORRECT LANE AND ON THE STREET.
