VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT ALSO FALLS DOWN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE IT FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO BLOCK THE SUN. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT BUT HAS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THE CAR'S MODEL YEAR AND DATE OF PURCHASE. MY CAR IS A 2010, AND MISSED BEING ELIGABLE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMANET BY 3 MONTHS. MY SUN VISOR IS JUST AS BROKEN AS THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THEIR CAR 3 MONTHS AFTER ME. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK NHTSA WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THIS BEING A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK TOYOTA WHY THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, AS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY ARE ALL MODEL YEARS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM?

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH AT ABOUT 35 MPH. ON A STRAIGHT ROADI SUDDENLY LOST MY STEERING. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT IT THE RIGHT FROM WHEEL WAS TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT. WHEN LOOKING AT IT IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT AXEL BROKE OR TIE RODS OR WHATEVER IS UNDER THERE. WHEN THE COLCHESTER POLICE CAME THEY DID NOT FILE AN ACCIDENT REPORT SINCE IT WAS THEIR BELIEF THAT SOMETHING ON THE CAR HAD BROKEN. THE OFFICER TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY TO ONLY BE GOING 35 AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65. WHEN THE WRECKER CAME HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON A CAMRY. I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE OR CURB OR ANYTHING ELSE. NOW TOYOTA (HERITAGE TOYOTA, SOUTH BURLINGTON VT. IS NOT CONVINCED THAT IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. JUST TALKED TO HERITAGE TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A DEFECT. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT SAY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ARE ACTING LIKE THIS IS AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

DASH BOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. CALLED TOYOTA BECAUSE FOUND WARRANTY INFORMATION AND THEY SAID THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MAY 2017. IN MAY, MY DASHBOARD WAS FINE. TODAY'S DATE IS AUGUST 22, 2017. DOES TOYOTA KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG THE DASHBOARD LASTS AND TERMINATE THEIR WARRANTY A MONTH PRIOR. CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO SHINY REFLECTION OF SUN.

ENGINE
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION I BELIEVE IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AT THE TIME. HOWEVER AROUND OCTOBER 2015, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE CAR WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL, I REQUESTED A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST---BUT IT CAME BACK THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST MY CAR WAS AT 190,000 MILES. NOW, THE CAR IS STARTING TO BURN MORE OIL EVEN AFTER REGULAR OIL CHANGES FROM MOSS BROS TOYOTA IN MORENO VALLEY. I JUST GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON AUGUST 4TH 2017. WELL TWO WEEKS (8/18/2017) AFTER MY CHANGE I NOTICED THE OIL SENSOR WOULD FLASH EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP. I CHECK THE OIL IN MY CAR AND THERE WAS BARELY ANY ON THE DIPSTICK. AS A RESULT, I ADDED MORE OIL MYSELF TO AVOID BURNING UP THE ENGINE. I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT MOSS BROS WHO HELPED ME TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND TOLD HIM I HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST 2 YEARS AGO AND WAS ADVISED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. UNFORTUNATELY, HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TOYOTA COULD DO TO HELP BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE ON MY CAMRY. HE SAID IT WOULD COST $5,000 TO REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS OR $4000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA CONSUMER AFFAIRS (CASE#1708181590)--THE GIRL MELISSA ON THE PHONE DIDN'T WANT TO HELP AND TOLD ME TOYOTA WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THE WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE OF HIGH MILES. TOYOTA KNEW THE PISTON RINGS WERE FAULTY FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY OR HOURS/YEARS TRYING TO REPAIR/REPLACE ENGINES IN THESE CARS. SO THEY MAKE THE CONSUMER DO THIS STUPID WORTHLESS CONSUMPTION TEST TO AVOID RECALL REPAIRS. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO AVOID TAKING CARE OF A PROBLEM THAT MANY OF US ARE FACING. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2007, BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. TOOK IT IN FOR ALL OF THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS AND KNOW THAT I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.
