2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

CAR EXCELLERATED OUT OF CONTROL,CAUSING DAMAGE TO AN APARTMENT AN TOTALING THE CAR OUT.

DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT) RECALL. I ONLY FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CERTAIN POPULATION OF 2011 CAMRYS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE 2011 CAMRY TO HAVE ISSUE AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED VIA DIFFERENT FORUMS AND HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEIR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.

SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY SAGGED DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AND NOW PERMANENTLY IN THE DROPPED DOWN POSITION. QUITE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN 1/2 OF YOUR VISIBILITY SUDDENLY GETS BLOCKED, AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS QUITE COMMONLY REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS.

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY STARTED DROOPING WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE. I HAD TO REMOVE. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY CAR.

SUN VISOR NOT STAYING ON DESIRE POSITION, KEEP FALLING - HARD TO DRIVE CAR, NO SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN "CLOSED" POSITION. FLOPS/ FALLS DOWN AND SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY THROUGH WINDSHIELD. ONLY REMEDY IS TO EXTEND THE VISOR TOTALLY OPEN TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD, HOWEVER, THIS IS STILL A NUISANCE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE COMPLETELY REMOVED OR POSITIONED IN MANNER THAT IS NOT OBSTRUCTING VIEW. OTHER VEHICLES ARE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, NOT THE VIN FOR THIS 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT BECAME FLOPPY AND DROPPED DOWN INTO MY DIRECT LINE OF SITE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER 2011 CAMRY'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN/VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY FOR TOYOTA AND EXTREMELY SCARY FOR MY SON AND MY SAFETY. I HAVE OWNED THREE CAMRY'S AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I JUST WANT MY VISOR FIXED! I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS SAY THE SAME THING. I FEEL THEY SHOULD EXPAND THE WARRANTY POLICY TO APPLY TO ALL 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S.

PURCHASED TWO RAIN X WIPER BLADES #5070277-1 AND 5079280-1 ON 6/29/2015 AND AFTER USING THEM FOR 30 DAYS THE RUBBER INSERTS WHERE TOTALLY GONE LEAVING THE PLASTIC TO CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD. THE PLASTIC CONTACTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED THOUSANDS OF SCRATCHES. THESE SCRATCHES MAKES IT HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE SCRATCHES.
