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

WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THERE IS NOW A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND TOYOTA TOLD US THAT IT ISN'T COVERED AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT BUT THEY WILL PUT IN A USED ONE FOR ABOUT $3000. HOW IS IT MY FAULT WHEN THEY SEAL EVERYTHING UP SO THAT I CAN NOT CHECK THE OIL LEVELS?

AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES NOTICED THAT MY WIFE'S CAR STARTED USING OIL AND A COUPLE TIMES THE OIL LIGHT HAD COME ON WHICH SCARED HER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL??? I'VE BEEN A TECHNICIAN MY WHOLE LIFE AND TOLD THEM THEY WERE NUTS. NOT LOG AFTER WE GOT A NOTICE ABOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TSB AND TOOK IN FOR THE TEST. THEY TEST IT BEFORE THE OIL HAS ANY CHANCE FOR VISCOSITY LOSS WHICH NATURALLY IS GOING TO PASS. IT USES APPROX. 2-3 QTS. OF OIL IN A 3,000 MILE OIL CHANGE WHICH IS ABSURD. I'VE OWNED TOYOTA'S FOR OVER 30 YEARS BUT I'VE TOLD THEM THIS IS IT NO MORE OF THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS COULD LEAVE THIS CAR DISABLED MOST ANYWHERE EVEN IN THE ROAD!!! PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS HUGE AS EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN WITH ON THIS MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! IS THERE NO HONOR JUSTICE ANYMORE?

BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STATUP (1AR/2AR). PER TOYOTA T-SB-0041-13 -- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD STARTUP, SOME 2009-2013 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 1AR-FE AND 2AR-FE ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT A BRIEF KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE SECOND. FOLLOW THE REPAIR PROCEDURE BELOW TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS DUE TO WORN / LOOSE CAM GEARS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG MANY TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS ISSUES A TSB, BUT NOT A RECALL. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN CAUSE ENGINE STOPPAGE WHILE DRIVING.
