As i am checking my credit report i decided to look at the vehicle report an i see recalls that i never new anything about, two recalls. i recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now i hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as i stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as i have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but i was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, i had taken my vehicle to several toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see t find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. but it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as i was on the freeway i had to get off immediately.
I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. the sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. it is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. i consulted a toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of toyotas of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the nhtsa should consider issuing a recall for this issue.
Ref # michelin case number 14617544 summary#1. purchased 4 michelin tires thru sears on 01/27/17(attached proof - "sears-01-27-2017- michelin ", mileage # 38955) 2. on 03/22/17, one tire burst.

Drivers side sun visor falling down not staying up. the base part of the sum visor becomes detached from the body of the sun visor making it hard to out the sun visor back up blocking the view of the driver. the vehicle was stationed when i first began to notice the sun visor fall half way down. after a long drive out of state, on the highway, the sun visor droped all the way down and would no longer stay up
The sun visor on the passenger side has stopped holding it's place. i saw and read online that a lot of people that has 2007 to 2011 toyota camry has experienced the same issue but toyota has not done anything about it.
Driving down the highway at 5:45 a.m., no cars in sight, i hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot. startled, i pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation. my sunroof had exploded without cause. it looked as if it was blown out from the inside. luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin. with no cars in sight, i quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris. it just randomly exploded without warning. the temperature outside of the vehicle was 46f and the digital climate control was set to 72f. i am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud.
Driver side sun visor making clicking sounds now has totally broken off, making driving dangerous. my window rubber sills are melting making windows still just like the dashboard melting
The sun roof on my toyota camry 2011 opens by itself, when i'm driving. it won't close until i stop driving.
On friday july 13th i was pulling into a parking spot in a private lot when all of a sudden, with my foot firmly on the brake my car suddenly and violently accelerated, for a second or two hitting a van directly in front of me and also the suv to the left of the van damaging the right back bumper. the van was hit so hard, it was pushed about 20 feet hitting another vehicle and rolled back hitting my car. the van was in park, which caused transmission damage, and not sure what other damage it had. toyota was called and they sent a representative out to exam the car and do some diagnostic testing. that was on july 25th..it can take up to a month to get those results . i will not drive this car since this happened. as far as i can see, there were no recalls for this problems with my car.
Takata recall sun visors falling down.
The sun visor detached on both sides. started making a pop noise then never went back up after i tried blocking the sun in my face while driving.
The driver's side sun visor started to sag two or three years ago. recently it just hangs down in the driver's face and will not stay in the stowed position. toyota knows of the problem and has a warranty extension program to deal with it that i found out about when i went online to look for a replacement. i called toyota's customer satisfaction line and was told that my car's vin# falls outside the parameters of the program. the covered problem obviously exists on my vehicle. it is clearly a safety issue, as you cannot see out of the vehicle with the visor down.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
'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.
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.
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
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.
Driver side sun visor fell of . poor assembly
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.
The driver side visor got lose and feel completely off
Sun visor folded down and will not stay up and secured. my vin # is not covered under toyota's current ztt warranty extension.
A while back i was pulling in my yard and my visor flipped down causing me to panic and blind my view then when i panicked i accedently hit the gas and drove into my mobile home causing damage to my home and about 2000 dollars of damage to my car i wrote toyota and they refused to pay for damage
My driver side sun visor has came unhinged on its own. i am able to temporarily place it back on the hook by pulling the plastic open that surrounds the brackets so it can operate as a sunvisor should. but if i go over a bump then it is likely to come unhooked and obstruct my vision by leaning while only supported by the small catch hook. this is a major safety concern. at times it completely falls into my lap as i am driving or i will get into the car and the visor will be laying on the seat. it falls off when the car is stable and in motion. it also will not close up. so if i need it closed (i.e at night) then i have to take it off. my mother has driven my car and she is shorter than me so she sits closer there the wheel. she informed me that while driving, the visor fell off and hit her on the head. big issue! it is somewhat expensive to replace and is a manufacturer defect that they should fix. it seems the "safest" thing to do besides replace it is to not have the visor up but that it's the sole reason for having a sun visor... to block the sun... yet it does not effectively serve it's purpose without risk. the passenger side is rarely used but will make clicking sounds in every position it is moved to so i'm sure it will break soon also. so i checked out toyota recall/warranty and apparently only a few of the 2011 vehicles fall in the covered range although this seems to be a problem for more than those few. i would appreciate if nhtsa would investigate this issue further. this is not just a cosmetic concern. obstructed vision is very dangerous. i fall within the make, model, and year range but not the vin range for repair, which is crazy! any of the toyota's with this issue that meet the basic criteria should qualify regardless of the product supplier for that vin. seems to be a way to spend less fixing by covering less vehicles and not considering safety.
Drivers side visor part broke and compromises drivers visibility. driver bumps into visor with forehead when driving. trunk latch at top was giving me trouble. glove compartment doesn't always want to close very well. foam around car door coming out. this has never happened to me before on any car i owned or have driven. this is obviously a defective part and should be replaced at toyota corporation expense. i love driving a camry but some of the parts inside are breaking and its disappointing. i used to have a 1994 camry that i purchased used in 2004, and it never had any of these problems. i also bought the 2011 camry used and love the way it drives. vehicle was stationary.
My drivers side visor started hanging down and eventually had to be removed due to not being able to see out the windshield with it in my way. i reached out to toyota and was informed that other 2007-2011 camrys had same issue but mine wasn't involved in the 7 year extended warranty for sun visors. i am now driving without a visor which is not safe!
The visor of the vehicle has been dropping and now causing a safety hazard for me driving during the day and mostly at night as it hides half of my field of visibility when driving. i've called the dealership and toyota headquarters and everyone keeps stating the vin number falls out of the range for the extended warranty even though this link here says differently: http://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-toyota-camry-and-camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-4 it says that there is an extended warranty for 7 years despite mileage for this dropping visor. it is affecting my driving on the road and being able to see because of their defect in visors for this car. i've tried taping it, pushing it back, forward, everything and nothing works. this visor defect has caused me anxiety while driving due to the lack of confidence in visibility not in my own self but in this toyota vehicle. i am simply requesting them to change the visor for me and help me resolve this to help eliminate this safety hazard but it seems they do not care about y safety or others on the road.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in place and blocks view of driver. i was told by local dealer that toyota does not cover replacement or repair of this problem. many others have posted similar problem on internet. this is an ongoing problem regardless of whether vehicle is stationary or in motion.
The sun visor on the driver side could not stay up and was eventually broken off completely which creates safety issue when the driver is facing the sun. toyota previously offered extended warranty for camry from 2007-2011 but my 2011 was not within the vin range covered under extended warranty.
Driver's sun visor falls down.
The right visor was already hanging, would not stow, but while driving today the driver side visor snapped and was hanging in front of my face to where i could not see the road. it happened while driving, which was bad enough, but then i ripped the thing off so i could see. this really should not be happening. there are so many of these incidents, and apparently my vehicle is not included on the current list. unacceptable.
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. the adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.
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.
I have a very bad case of sticky dash board when i called toyota i told that my vin number was not one of the recalls . i was told that i can take it to the dealer for an inspection and that i will have to pay for it. i don't understand how just some of the cars that are of the same year, make and model are recalled but my is not. my dash board is melting and toyota need to take responsibility to correct this. i went to the before my car was still under warranty and was to told that that was ok and in the pass year the dash board is worst and i am have trouble driving due to the shine that glare on the glass is difficult to see as your driving. this is a serious problem and you can get in to an accident. this is during the daytime or night..
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.
Dashboard is melting on my camry 2011. toyota has extended warantee on camry 2011 affected vehicles to 2017. it refses to pya for mime vecause it says the this vin is not covered. who will pay for my melting dashboard.
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
The sun visor dropped and does not hold. it blocked the visibility and suddenly had to press the brake while driving in highway.
Dashboard melting with sticky residue causing high reflection on to windshield during daytime driving that causes an unbearable glare.please advise on replacement procedures under the warranty extension.
Driver-side sun visor will not stay up. distracts driving view.
Sun visor is falling down by its self, block my sight while driving. its a very dangerous issue but i don't see any recall on this issued. thanks [xxx] *dl information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*jb
