2011 Toyota Camry Visibility & Wipers Problems

My car's VIN did not fall in the original recall of the sticky dashboard. Therefore, the dealership will not replace this without payment. I purchased the car from the dealership on a cloudy day, so I was not aware of this issue. I have increased light sensitivity and had to purchase polarized prescription sunglasses to see out my windshield every day, regardless of whether it is sunny or cloudy. If someone else drives my car, they can not see during daylight hours. It lessens during nighttime but is still a persistent issue otherwise. We've resorted to looking at coverlays to secure over the dash due to my inability to safely drive.

I own a 2011 Toyota Camry. The dashboard has begun to melt and is causing potential glare issues, making the windshield turn into a mirror. Toyota is aware of the issue, and offered to replace the part through a special service campaign, once in 2018 and in 2021, however, they did not send the notice to the correct address - which we confirmed with them was an outdated address. Since we just began having the problem with the vehicle, we contacted Toyota, however they are stating that they are no longer offering the repairs and that we will have to pay nearly $3000 to fix it ourselves, more than the car's trade in value.

Visor blocking driving visibility making it a huge safety concern Other vehicles 2007 to 2011 were recalled but not this one Tpyota says. BUT the issue is exactly the same as the other ones.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SHINY AND EXTREMELY STICKY. ON SUNNY DAYS OR AT KNIGHT LIGHT CAN REFLECT OFF THE DASHBOARD INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CAUSES AN INTENSE GLARE MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE FORWARD. THIS EFFECT CAN BE SEEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION IN CITIES OR ON THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA ISSUED AN ENHANCED WARRANTY HOWEVER MANY OLDER CARS ARE NO LONGER COVERED AND THE ISSUES STILL PERSIST. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM A THIRD PARTY AND WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THE ENHANCED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE. WHEN I LEARNED THAT THIS WARRANTY EXISTED IT WAS TOO LATE AND MAR CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED.

My 2011 Toyota Camry has a deteriorating dash. It is sticky and very shiny in spots. The glare from this has made it very difficult to drive. I searched for info on this and discovered there had been a recall! I did not receive this notification, despite keeping my contact info current. My Camry has less than 83,000 miles. I am having trouble seeing through the glare, and no longer feel safe driving my Camry. Please help.

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR DROOPED DOWN AND COULD NO LONGER SUPPORT ITSELF. THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW. I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE SUN VISOR UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the sunroof while driving at various speeds. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

PASSENGER SIDE SHADE VISOR SAGGED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2011 CAMRY SE, SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 2007 CAMRY SE AND A RECALL FIXED THAT. WHY IS THIS 2011 CAMRY TO BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA AS WAS THE 2007? ALSO, THE SUN ROOF HAS BEEN NOISY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AUG 31, 2010. WHY IS THAT NOT RECALLED.? AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES? *TR

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DISTORTION OF VISIBILITY THROUGH THE REAR WINDSHIELD DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT, MOVING AND STOPPED.THE BIGGEST ISSUE AT NIGHT IS THAT ONE VEHICLE APPEARS MULTIPLIED WITH MULTIPLE SETS OF HEADLIGHTS, MOSTLY UP AND DOWN WITH THE DEFOGGING LINES BUT ALSO IN A WAVY PATTERN BETWEEN DEFOGGER LINES. DURING THE DAYTIME, IT OBSCURES THE EDGES OF VEHICLES WITH THE WAVY PATTERN AND HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT ISSUE AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING IF IT'S RAINING. THERE IS NO AFTER-MARKET TINT APPLIED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES CHANGING LANES AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME SINCE THE DISTORTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE DISTANCE AND WHICH LANE THEY MAY BE IN.

I WAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICE OF THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING UP 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS. INSTEAD, OUR SUN VISOR LOST RESISTANCE IN 9/2019 AND STARTED OBSTRUCTING OUR VISIBILITY AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP, BUT HANG ~2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND PRINTED OUT THE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT TOYOTA NEVER INFORMED US OF THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE VISOR CLIPS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME -WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO MANY. WE ARE BEING TOLD TO REPLACE AND REPAIR IT OURSELVES FOR $195 THOUGH THEY AGREED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS THE CLIPS ARE DEFECTIVE. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CORDIAL BUT SAID IT WAS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND A TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS DECISION. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-5 HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2011/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SUN_VISOR_WILL_NOT_STAY_UP.SHTML I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS IN THE WRONG AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX ALL FAULTY CLIPS ESPECIALLY WHEN BLOCKING YOUR VISIBILITY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OTHER DRIVERS IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING. I COULD NOT SEE SAFETY SIGNS WHEN TURNING, ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO RIP OFF THE LEFT SIDE SUN VISOR OUT OF CONCERN AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR, WHILE POSITIONED IN TRHE RETAINING CLIP, CONTINUES TO ROTATE DOWNWARD, HAMPERING THE DRIVERS VIEW. CONDITION IS WORSENING WITH TIME.

SUN VISORS SEEM TO HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH CORRECT PARTS WENT ON LINE AND GOOGLE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF THIS YEAR HAS SAME PROBLEMS SO THEY WHERE HANGING AND IT MAKES HARD TO SEE THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF EITHER WAY IT'S UN SAFE YO DRIVE LIKE THIS I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DROPS DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VISION MAKING IT A HAZARD WHEN I DRIVE AS MY VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR WHEN I GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD DECLARE A RECALL AND FIX THESE DEFECTIVE VISORS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW, THE SUPPORT ARM FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN IN PLACE. THE CONTACT CALLED WOBURN TOYOTA AT 781-933-1100 (LOCATED AT 394 WASHINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA 01801) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE SUN VISOR JUST DROPPED DOWN, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC LIGHT

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.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD STAY IN PLACE

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.

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.
