POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP. I LEARNED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES ON CERTAIN 2007 - 2011 CAMRY VEHICLES. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA SINCE MY CAR YEAR MODEL FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR MODELS AFFECTED, AND CLEARLY I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISOR NOT STAYING UP. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND WOULD NOT STAY UP OR WOULD NOT STAY WHERE I PUT IT AND WOULD AFFECT MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. ULTIMATELY, THE VISOR BECAME DETACHED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE (A 2011 CAMRY) IS NOT WITHIN THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" COVERAGE THAT TOYOTA HAS IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THE SUN VISOR IS A PROBLEM, HAS RECALLED SOME VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE OTHER VEHICLES--MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THOSE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, NO LESS--THAT ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU CAN "ENCOURAGE" OR FORCE TOYOTA TO EXTEND THEIR "EXTENDED WARRANTY"/SUN VISOR RECALL TO OTHER VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. AS IT IS NOW, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, AND THIS WILL BE A HARDSHIP AS MY FAMILY IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 22 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SUN VISORS THAT COME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND BLOCK VIEW OF THE ROAD. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED! I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVE SIDE WENT INTO THE DOWN POSITION AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK UP IT WOULD NOT STAY. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE ENTIRE VISOR FELL OFF. NOT LONG AFTER THE THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES. STILL WAITING TO HEAR IF MINES IS ONE OF THEM. *TR

I HIT THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD ACCELERATION TO AVOID HITTING A TREE. THE BRAKE STOPPED THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE WHEELS WITH THE CAR BODY LURCHING FORWARD. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE TRAVELING ON ROUTE 78 WEST NEAR BETHLEHEM PA THE OIL LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A GM DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THE OIL WAS LEAKING OUT THE OIL FILTER AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. NOW THE ENGINE IS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND WHEN IT IS STARTING AND OTHER SOUNDS. I'M AFRAID THAT WE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED THE ENGINE OR THE CAR. WE HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT ON THE CAR LOAN. THE OIL AND FILTER WERE REPLACED 32,012 AT SEARS. I HAVE SAVED THE FAILED OIL FILTER. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
PURCHASED VEHICLE SEPT 2013 WITH APPROX 44,000 MILES ON IT. AROUND APRIL 2014 STARTED TO HEAR SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE INSIDE THE CAR. SOUNDED METALLIC. IT WAS DUE FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES SO I TOOK IT IN. MENTIONED THE KNOCKING METALLIC SOUND AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOONROOF. I COULDN'T QUITE FIGURE HOW THEY KNOW THAT SO SOON BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE IT THAT DAY ALL DAY, JUST FOR THE SERVICE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY THE MOONROOF. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT COST ME $248 TO FIX. WHEN I CAME HOME I LOOKED IT UP ON THE TOYOTA FORUM AND, BINGO, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS. SO THAT'S WHY THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS RIGHT AWAY. THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE WITH THE SAFER.GOV SITE. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THE SUN VISORS. FIRST THEY STARTED TO HANG LOW WOULDN'T STAY UP. ONE DAY ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY, THEY JUST COMPLETELY FELL. I HAD TO HOLD THEM UP THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING. THEY KEPT BLOCKING MY VIEW AND THEY WERE DISTRACTING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX THEM CAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER COVER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
A RATTLE OR POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF ABOVE FRONT/REAR PASSENGER SEAT. A LOUD CREAKING SOUND ALL THE TIME HEARD SINCE WINTER IS PRESENT WHEN MAKING TURNS OR JUST HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC SHIMS/ OR DIFFERENT KITS WERE NEEDED AND THE LABOR WAS OUTRAGEOUS FOR CUSTOMER PAY. THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS RIDICULOUS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL 2007 -UP TOYOTA CAMRY'S. TSB'S ARE ONLINE. IF YOU GOOGLE MOONROOF POPPING OR RATTLING ON 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING WITH THEIR MOONROOF. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SPEND THOUSANDS TO FIX A STRUCTURAL ISSUE? I HEARD WORST CASE SCENARIO IS TOTAL REMOVAL OF MOONROOF WITH NO GUARANTEES TO FIX ON MY TAB. CAR IS BARELY OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *JS
