2011 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

SUN VISORS IN NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS HAVE A DEFECT RECOGNIZED BY TOYOTA, HOWEVER ONLY CERTAIN MODELS ARE BEING COVERED UNDER THE "LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY". THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT MADE CLEAR OR PUBLIC TO THE CAR OWNERS, INSTEAD ONLY TURNING UP IN GOOGLE SEARCHES OF WHY THEIR SUN VISOR WAS FAILING. TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DEFECT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL IN THE EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S PROPOSED. THE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING LIMITED VISION AND DISTRACTED DRIVING. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSEHOLD AS WE ALL DRIVE TOYOTAS, TWO OF WHICH ARE CAMRY'S. I HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH MY HAND WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS TO SEE STREET LIGHTS, AND MY FIELD OF SIGHT IS GREATLY DIMINISHED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS STOPPED UNTIL I AM VERY CLOSE TO IT. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR UP IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WITH JUST ONE HAND IN A DEFENSIVE SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET TOYOTA STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY "APOLOGIZING" AND CHOOSING TO COVER JUST ENOUGH CARS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS SITUATION IS LIKELY TO END IN A FATALITY DUE TO TOYOTA'S CARELESSNESS ON THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

THE CAR IT'S HARD TO TURN NOW, IT MAKE NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE, LIKING GREASE-OIL ON THE BALL JOINTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL , BUT MY CAR IS 2-11.. A MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL ( THAT STARTS IN 3 -11).. SO I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DIDN'T WANTED TO HELP ME WITH THAT. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LIKE $800. WHAT CAN I DO??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT, FLIPPED OVER, AND LANDED IN A DITCH. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISING THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT DURING THE FAILURE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FRACTURED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UPSIDE DOWN. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FORCE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT FORCEFULLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AS A FIRE ERUPTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V732000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF THE INVESTIGATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

SEAT CLOTH BROKE DRIVER..VENT VISOR DRIVER BROKE AND TOOK IT OFF AND THREW IT AWAY.. TURN A.C. AND KNOCKING NOISE. CLUNKING NOISE ON SUSPENSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR DEALER NEVER DID ANYTHING. NOW IN MAY THIS YEAR I EXPERIENCE VIBRATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AROUND 40MPH. CRAZY ANNOYING ISSUE. PAID TO MUCH MONEY. CAR LOOKS NEW BUT A LOT OF ISSUES. I DON'T EVEN THINK AIRBAGS WORK. ACCIDENT AND DIDN'T COME OUT. CRAZY UNSAFE CAR WITH TO MANY MAJOR ISSUES.

OIL CONSUMPTION. DRIVE CAR A LOT OF SHAKING VIBRATION. TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. WHEN LOAD IS PUT. TRANSMISSION RPM AROUNDV40MPH TO 45MPH WEIRD VIBRATION AND HESITATION. THIS CAR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NOT GOOD

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2011 CAMRY'S, BUT TOYOTA SAY'S MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE CAR WASH.

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.

EVERYTIME THE WEATHER GET COLD MY CAR MAKE A WHINING NOISE THAT NOW OF THE TOYOTA DEALERS CAN FIGURE OUT. I BELIEVE THERE A STEERING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DISCONNECTED AND LODGED IN ANGLED, PARTIALLY DOWN POSITION WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO FULLY DISCONNECT VISOR AS IT WAS FULLY STUCK OTHERWISE. REVIEWING TONIGHT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS ERA CAMRY.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IT IS MELTING. ESPECIALLY, ON A HOT DAY. AS A RESULT, WHEN DRIVING, IT AFFECTING VISIBILITY DUE TO REFLECTION TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD.

NEVER DIID THEY FIX THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A COMPOST BIN, A FENCE, AND A SNOW MOUND, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD STAY IN PLACE

EXHAUST BACKS UP INTO CAB OF CAR WHEN DRIVING ENTER CITY OR HIGHWAY, AND A VERY FAINT IN NOISE IN HEATING AND/OR AIR CONDITION UNITE. NOTICED ALL WHEN PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

INITIALLY THE SUN VISOR WILL FELL AND BLOCK SOME DRIVER SIDE VIEW. AFTER A YEAR OR 2 LATER, IT COMPLETELY FELL AND WILL BLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE VIEW. THIS IS A HAZARD CONDITION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, TOYOTA ISSUED WARRANTY BULLETIN(POL12-03) TO REPLACE CERTAIN VIN RANGE OF THE CAMRY 07~11, MINE IS THE 2011, HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE THE VIN IN THAT DOCUMENT. I'VE BOUGHT 3 NEW CAMRY IN THE PAST, ONLY THIS ONE HAS THE PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE TOYOTA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE VEHICLE COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES TO THE MOUTH, NECK, BACK, AND HEAD THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR RELEASED WILL DRIVING ON FREEWAY. WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY REMOVE VISOR FROM ROD TO SEE. THE NEXT WEEK, PASSENGER SIDE VISOR RELEASED AND WOULD NOT HOLD POSITION.

THE DASH BOARD OF THE CAR SEEMS TO BE MELTING AS IT IS GETTING STCKY AS THE DAYS PASSES BY AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AS YOU CANNOT POT YOUR HAND ON IT AND IF YOU TRY CLEANING THE MELTING PLASTIC COMES OUT SCRATCHING WITH CLOTH/FINGERS. IT IS DRIVING HAZARD AS IN SUM THERE IS TOO MUCH GLARE COMING FROM SASH BOARD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE.AS IT CANNOT BE CLEANED THE DUST AND OTHER PARTICLES ARE GETTING ACCUMULATED ON THE DASH.IT IS GETTING WORSE AS DAYS ARE PASSING

KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING

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

VERY LOUD RATTLE WHEN FIRST STARTED ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. EVEN WHEN IT IS IDLING AFTER RUNNING FOR A WHILE IT STILL HAS A SLIGHT RATTLE JUST A LOT QUIETER.

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.

'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.

AT NIGHT, NO LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON

INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT MAKES POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING

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.

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

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.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE ENGINE SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATION BETWEEN 20 AND 50 MILES PER HOUR. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME FOR THE 2012 CAMRY AND LATER, WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT IN MY MODEL YEAR. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHAT GIVES?

THE SUN VISOR OF MY CAR CANNOT STAY UP. IT KEEPS ROTATING DOWNWARD AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF 2007-2011 CAMRY. I INFORMED TOYOTA BUT THEY DID NOT AGREE TO FIX MY CAR. I ALSO HAVE A 2001 CAMRY, WHICH IS 10 YEARS OLDER AND ITS SUN VISORS WORK FINE. MY FRIEND HAS A 2010 CAMRY AND IT ALSO HAS THE SAME SUN VISOR PROBLEM. HE DID NOT GET ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM EITHER.

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT STAY UP ANY LONGER.

SUN VISOR BROKE AND WILL JUST HANG WHICH OBSCURES VIEW WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A RECALL FROM TOYOTA BUT WILL NOT FIX ITEM

TOYOTA CAMRYS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE SUN VISOR DROOPING DOWN. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT IS UNWILLING TO EXTEND THE FIX TO ALL OWNERS THAT ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS THEIR POL12-03. THIS ALSO OCCURRED TO MY CAR.

SUN VISOR DROOPING THEN FALLING OFF. NOT HONORED UNDER TOYOTA POL12-03 EVEN THOUGH THE VIN RANGE IS WITHIN THE POLICY. NO REPLACEMENT OFFERED BY TOYOTA.

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

I CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER AFTER MY WIFE'S 2011 SUN VISOR FELL WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND WON'T STAY UP. FIRST THE SERVICE PERSON COULDN'T FIND THE TOYOTA MEMO. THEN HE FOUND IT BUT SAID ONLY THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE COVERED. I TOLD HIM IT'S ONE UNIT. HE SPOKE TO A SERVICE TECH AND THE TECH CONFIRMED IT'S ONE UNIT. THEN HE CAME BACK WITH WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT THEN ORDER THE PART. I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK IN A FEW DAYS TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER. HE PUT ME ON HOLD AND NOW CLAIMS SHE IS OUT OF HER WARRANTY PERIOD.

CV BOOT IS LEAKING GREASE WITHOUT FINDING DAMAGE UPON PHYSICAL INSPECTION. TWO MECHANICS HAVE REPORTED THIS TO ME WHILE WORKING ON UNRELATED MAINTENANCE ISSUES.

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.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP WHICH OBSTRUCTS VIEW. THIS HAPPENED OVER TIME AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS FROM 2007-2011.

LAST JUNE (2017) I WAS DRIVING AND NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS HITTING THE SIDE WALK AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM W/BALL JOINT - LOWER FRONT SUSPENSION AND ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW TIRE. SAW ON A WEBSITE THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V732000. I

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP.POSITION THE INSIDE PLASTI. THE HOLDS THE VISOR ARM HAS SEPARATED ALLOWING THE ENTIRE ARM TO ROTATE FEELY. THIS BLOCKS MY VISION OF THE ROAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS, BUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS SUBSTANTIAL. HAS TO ADD ABOUT 1 QUART AND A HALF EVERY 700 MILES.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL OF . POOR ASSEMBLY

ON 5/19/17 THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO NOT STAY IN THE RESTING POSITION. IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD ANYMORE EITHER. IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB FORUM WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTP://J.MP/2QU53VO HERE ARE LINKS TO THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTS OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND APPLICABLE VINS. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/ZTT-DLRLTR.PDF I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RESPONSE EMAIL FROM THEM AND CASE NUMBER. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INHIBITS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND WAS STICKY, WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1705190412. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE . THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECOMES LOOSE AND KEEPS DROPPING. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD. TOYOTA CREATED A WARRANTY EXTENSIONS (CSP) FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY PARTICULAR VIN HOWEVER I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD FOR 2007-20011 CAMRY'S. AND TOYOTA SHOULD COVER ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THAT PERIOD.

MY 2011 CAMRY IS SUPER WHITE AND THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY COME OFF. I NOTICED ALL THE SHINE WAS GONE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A WAX JOB AND HE INFORMED ME THE CLEAR COAT IS COMPLETELY GONE. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I WASH MY CAR, THE WHITE PAINT COMES OFF. I ALSO HAVE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE STARTED TO FORM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES(2007-2011) WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE GARDEN STATE HIGHWAY, EASTER NIGHT 2017, WHEN THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2011 CAMRY JUST DROPPED DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE VISOR TO STAY UP AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND HOLDING IT UP UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. ULTIMATELY, THE ENTIRE VISOR SEPARATED FROM THE HOLDER. I LATER LEARNED ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY SUPPORT PROGRAM (ZTT) ISSUED BY TOYOTA 8/1/12 ON SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES AND SUN VISOR BRACKETS ON CERTAIN TOYOTA 2007-2011 CAMRY''S. TOYOTA HAS ANNOUNCED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM TO COVER OF THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES/BRACKETS FOR 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE MY CAR IS GOING TO BE SIX YEARS OLD IN AUGUST, I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER APPLICABLE VIN RANGES. APPARENTLY THIS DEFECT IS NOT JUST IN THE CARS WITH THOSE APPLICABLE VIN NUMBERS, BUT IN FAR MORE CARS. MY REFERENCE # [XXX]. HAVING A SUN VISOR FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING (PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT) IS DANGEROUS, AS IS NOT HAVING A SUN VISOR WHEN THE SUN IS VERY BRIGHT.! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A CSP ( VTT) COVERING FAILING SUNVISOR HINGES ON CAMRYS FROM 2007-2011. MINE HAS FAILED. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER I AM TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 25000 TOO HIGH ( TRANSLATION WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THAT POINT. THEY HAVE NOT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED. AS AN ENGINEER I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROBLEM WAS BELIEVED TO BE SOLVED BUT WAS NOT. NO REAL NEED FOR A PHOTO TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION, THE HINGE THAT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO INSURE THAT THE VISOR STAYS WHERE YOU PLACED IT HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC AND NOW FLOPS USELESSLY AROUND. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE DESIRED POSITION

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR GOT LOSE AND FEEL COMPLETELY OFF
