2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT FALLS DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL IN THE MAIL AND CALLED AND WAS TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT ONE THAT IS ON THE LIST.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WOULD NOT STAY UP THEN AFTER DOING THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS , SUN VISOR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND BROKE OFF. SADLY AFTER CALLING DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE OR HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT I'M SURE THAT'S WHY YOU DO NOT HAVE VERY MANY FORMS FILLED OUT. BUT THE INTERNET IS ALL A BUZZ WITH THIS HAPPING TO THEIR TOYOTAS

DRIVING ON FOUR LANE , TRUCK CAME ACROSS MED. AND HIT ME IN MIDDLE AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDE OF CAR MY AIR BAG DID NOT COME OUT,, PUSHED IN MY DASH ON KNEES NO KNEE AIR OR STEERING WHEEL OR DRIVERS SIDE CAME OUT NO DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE

'TAKATA RECALL' MY CAR WAS FORCED INTO CEMENT LANE BARRIER ON INTERSTATE AND THEN BOUNCED OFF AND REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING IN THE HEAT. NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AS THE DASHBOARD IS UP CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU CAN FEEL HOW TACKY THE DASHBOARD IS.

SUN VISORS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHEN CARE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DASHBOARD MELTING AND BECOMING VERY SHINY AND STICKY. BECAUSE OF THE SUPER SHINY DASH, MY VISION IS OBSCURED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE DURING THE DAY.. ESPECIALLY ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK AS THE SUN IS RISING AND SETTING. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR TOYOTA AMERICA, WHICH I DID. TOYOTA AMERICA ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENTS FOR MY CAR, AS THEY ARE ONLY ACTIVE UP TO YEAR MODELS 2009 AT THIS TIME. THEY DID ADVISE THAT FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS, THEY ARE DOING THEM CASE BY CASE, ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER, AND GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION - WHICH I DID. AFTER ALMOST 2 WEEKS OF WAITING ON A RESPONSE, I CALLED TOYOTA JUST TO BE TOLD MY CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER AN OPEN RECALL OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND MY STANDARD WARRANTY ONLY COVERED FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE GLARE PUT OFF BY MY DASH IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD, IN THAT I CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING HERE IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE ATTACHED PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON 10/16/2017 WHILE PARKED IN PARTIAL SHADE. PLEASE HELP ME AND ALL OF THE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP THIS IS CAUSING ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

WE WERE HIT AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED CENTERED ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY SEVERE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED. NO AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED AND I WAS THE PASSENGER. I WAS INJURED IN THE CRASH.
