2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NO SCREWS TO TIGHTEN TO STOP VISOR FROM FALLING DOWN. DANGEROUS. FINALLY AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING TO KEEP VISOR UP I HAD TO HOT GLUE THE VISOR TO TOP OF CAR; NOW I CANNOT USE VISOR QUICKLY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. MIGHT NEED TO NOTE THAT RARELY WAS VISOR EVER USED.

I DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE CAR AND IT OPERATED FINE. AFTER LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, MASTER FAILURE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH AND I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP THE CAR, SO I PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO STOP AND IT STUTTERED ABOUT 10 TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE BRAKES. THE CAR IS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED AT THEY DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION ZTT AND HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL JUST DROP INTO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AND DISTRACTING ME AS A REACH TO MANIPULATE IT OUT OF MY VIEW. *TR

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY...PROBLEM..STICKY DASHBOARD...I CALL TOYOTA FOR SOME HELP...THE TELL ME THE NOT GOIN TO FIX

FIRST INCIDENT: JUNE 15, 2016 HEADING TO THE EXPRESSWAY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR STARTED TO BOUNCE. I PULLED INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. SECOND INCIDENT SEPTEMBER 22,2016 I WAS OUT OF TOWN, AND THE CAR STARTED TO REPEAT THE SAME AS IN JUNE. I PULLED INTO A TIRE SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE STEEL BELT. AGAIN, I EXPLAINED TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR. HE ADVISED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE CAR SET WITHOUT MOVEMENT, PRIOR TO SELLING AND THE WEATHER BEAT THE TIRES. HE PLACED THE TIRE IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. IN BOTH INCIDENTS: TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN STEEL BELT INSIDE THE TIRE WALL.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. I WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED SIMILAR PROBLEM ON INTERNET. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THE VISOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DROPPING AND NOW CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND MOSTLY AT NIGHT AS IT HIDES HALF OF MY FIELD OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND EVERYONE KEEPS STATING THE VIN NUMBER FALLS OUT OF THE RANGE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS LINK HERE SAYS DIFFERENTLY: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-4 IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS DESPITE MILEAGE FOR THIS DROPPING VISOR. IT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECT IN VISORS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE TRIED TAPING IT, PUSHING IT BACK, FORWARD, EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS. THIS VISOR DEFECT HAS CAUSED ME ANXIETY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN VISIBILITY NOT IN MY OWN SELF BUT IN THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE. I AM SIMPLY REQUESTING THEM TO CHANGE THE VISOR FOR ME AND HELP ME RESOLVE THIS TO HELP ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT Y SAFETY OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAN NOT GO BACK TO IT'S POSITION. IT'S HANGING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE HARD TIME TO LOOK IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. MY DAUGHTER IS LITTLE TALLER AND SHE DRIVES THIS CAR TOO, AND IT MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE FOR HER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH THAT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HIT DEEP POTHOLES WERE THEY WERE DO CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADS AND THE HUBCAPS CAME OFF ON THE SAME SIDE AT THE SAME TIME.
