HELLO. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO NEW CAMRYS, IN 2007 AND 2011. IN BOTH OF THEM THE SUNVISORS HAVE COME DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP IN POSITION. I PURCHASED A NEW SUN VISOR FOR THE 2007 CAMRY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT NOW BOTH OF MY SUNVISORS IN MY 2011 CAMRY ARE DOING THE SAME. I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2011, BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE 2007. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IN BOTH VEHICLES, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ALL WILL DO ABOUT THIS?

STEERING COLUMN HAS A POPPING IN IT WHEN TURNING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE MOVING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM THROUGH MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY. IT STARTED AROUND 50K MILES AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE WITH TIME.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, IT USES ABOUT 1QT EVERY 1000MILES. CAR HAS HAD A METICULOUS MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, OIL AND FILTER CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES.DRIVEN BY A 65 YEAR OLD WOMAN

TRANSMISSION WILL APPEAR TO DISENGAGE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF IN COLD OR AFTER SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS (9-10 HRS.). STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR WILL FEEL AND APPEAR TO START OFF NORMALLY, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE, AND THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOU FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT OR EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 3,000 MILE - CURRENT MILEAGE 87,000. DEALER CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR DUPLICATE. I HAVE DUPLICATED IT FOR THEM ONCE DURING THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THEM FOR REPAIRS AND TESTING.
