VISIBILITY/WIPER
VISOR RECALL: I NOTICED THAT THE VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS GRADUALLY COMING DOWN AND DESPITE ASKING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT, THE PROBLEM WAS DEFERRED AND I WAS ASKED TO WAIT UNTIL IT GOT MUCH WORSE. LAST WEEK IT ACTUALLY CAME CLOSE TO A POINT OF BECOMING DETACHED ALTOGETHER; I REVIEWED THE WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY INFORMATION ON THE ISSUE AND TO MY SURPRISE I REALIZED THAT WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS PROBLEM (VEHICLES 2007-2011); HOWEVER UPON CALLING TOYOTA I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER A PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ZTT AND EVEN IF IT WAS I WOULDN'T QUALIFY SINCE I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 7 YEARS OF TIME LIMIT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION, NEITHER THE DEALER MADE ME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND NOW I AM PUT IN A POSITION WHERE I HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (NOT CHEAP ~ 295.00 PARTS + LABOR + TAXES). BESIDES IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THE ENTIRE VISOR CAN BECOME DETACHED WHILE DRIVING POTENTIALLY LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY AND ACCIDENTS. I HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM - ACTUATOR THAT I HAD REPLACED BY PAYING $2150 OUT OF POCKET AND MADE A COMPLIANT TO NHTSB AND LATER DUE TO A NUMEROUS COMPLIANTS A WIDER RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I WAS REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA. HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS LOOKED INTO SINCE THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE FORUM.

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.

WARNING SIGNS APPEARED ON DASH AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. UPON DIAGNOSTIC, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED TO CHANGE THE HYBRID BATTERY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HYBRID BATTERY EXPERT AND FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS OPERATING NORMAL. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ABS ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED USING THE FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR AND WAS OFFERING FREE REPLACEMENT FOR VEHICLES UNDER 150K. THE CAR JUST PASSED 160K AND THE SERVICE WAS DENIED. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTEINANCE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO INFORM THE CUSTOMERS OF POSSIBLE DANGER OF FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER INFORMED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP.

STICKY/DETERIORATING DASHBOARD. VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2009 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED AT A CAR WASH. SPRAY PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO PRESERVE VINYL HAVE NEVER BEEN APPLIED. NOTICED WEEK OF 9/1/2016 THAT THE DASHBOARD BENEATH THE WINDSHIELD IS GUMMY. PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, WE HAD BEEN FIGHTING A STRANGE DEPOSIT ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WE BELIEVE IT WAS OFF GASSING OF THE CHEMICALLY CHANGING DASHBOARD.

I HAVE GOTTEN TWO OIL CHANGES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL TO EMPTY EVERY 4-5 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. I WORK AS A REALTOR PART-TIME AND FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FULL-TIME. MY DAILY COMMUTE (MON-FRI) IS ALL MAJOR HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, FOR 3 HOURS ROUND-TRIP. AS A REALTOR, I DRIVE ALL THROUGHOUT THE DC, MARYLAND, VIRGINIA AREAS, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

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.
