2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

IN APRIL 2016 I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL ON MY CAMRY DASHBOARD . THE DASHBOARD FELT VERY STICKY AND NOW IS CRACKING . IN ADDITION, THE SHINY OIL REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD. THE REFLECTION IS DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY IN THE BRILLIANT SUNLIGHT AND AT NIGHT. CLEARLY THIS REFLECTION IS A DRIVING HAZARD AND MY DASHBOARD IS DISINTEGRATING UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAMRY DASHBOARD RECALL I IMPLORE THAT TOYOTA DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT . PHOTOS OF DASHBOARD WILL FOLLOW.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP MAKING IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY. IT DOES NOT HELP BLOCK SUNLIGHT AS THE DRIVER CAN NOT ADJUST IT TO BLOCK INCOMING LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL- TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE 2007-2011 SUN VISORS FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR MY SUN VISOR BECAUSE THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE SUN VISOR JUST FALL DOWN UNEXPECTED ON THE FWY AND ON THE MAIN STREETS WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR KNOWING THAT THE 2011 HAVE A PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS PLACE A RECALL ON THE SUN VISOR WHICH IS POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE TOYOTA.COM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN...UPDATED 09/20/16 *BF *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. A TOYOTA INTERNAL MEMO TO ITS DEALERS STARES THAY MY MODEL AND YEAR ARE COVERER IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE TO REPLACE THE DASH. WHEN I CALLED VTOYOTO I WAS TOLD MY CAR VIN IS EXCLUDED. I ASKED WHY MY CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AN SAME MODEL AND YEAR IS NOT COVERED. I GOT NO ANSEWR. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GO TO A DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE PROBLEM BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AN INSPECTION FEE. I WANT THE DAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

WHEN I TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF 65+ MPH , STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VERY BADLY , WHEEL BALANCING DOES NOT FIX IT.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN. FAILS TO STAY IN SET POSITION . IN UP POSITION STARTS TO FALL DOWN. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE 2007-2011 YEAR RANGE. CAN SUDDENLY OBSTRUCT FIELD OF VIEW.

NOTICED A LARGE KNOT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS EARLIER. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER OF COOPER TIRES AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF WE HAD FAILED TO NOTICE THIS, IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. BEING ON THE FRONT, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRO RATED RATE. AFTER READING ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT, WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH BRANDS. THE TIRES HAVE NOT HELD UP TO THE MILAGE THAT WAS ADVERTISED. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILES ON THEM BUT THEY ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE WEAR BARS. WE HAVE RECORDS AND ALL THE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THESE TIRES. THESE WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAMERY!

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SNAPPED WHILE LIFTING FROM DOWN POSITION - CAR WAS STATIONARY - THEN IT WAS DANGLING IN FRONT OF WINDOW - COULDN'T SEE - HAD TO PULL IT OFF IN ORDER TO SEE ROADWAY - NOW HAVE NO WAY TO BLOCK THE SUN WHILE DRIVING.

THE SUN VISOR DROPPED AND DOES NOT HOLD. IT BLOCKED THE VISIBILITY AND SUDDENLY HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY.
